Let me reiterate that this promo is not BAD by any measure, and yes I clearly see the shiny, just don’t think it’s “being stomped to death in a crowd”worthy 🤷♂️ (And yes the Kanda IR has spoiled me)
I like how now if you show up for something you are a scalper 😂 everyone is a scalper except all of the Youtubers who have collections worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars but yeah, it’s the guy showing up for a one card and two ETB’s at Walmart, right 😅😂
Anytime the Poketubers cry on YouTube is actually the best time to buy. They did this same strategy with the Van Gogh Pikachu. It’s always cry to the max when the card is the cheapest otherwise they wouldn’t have a cockroach existence in front of their video cameras.
So fun fact the stamp rally has to present the pokemon captured as well meaning these people had to make a pokemon go account and then pay the game and catch pokemon to even be eligible for the promo meaning they did this for no damn reason and ruined a event that people take time off work and travel for
"scalpers did it" is legit a Pokemon boogeyman at this point. If anything happens it's a scalper that caused it. PSA scamming . . . must be all the scalpers trying to get there cards graded. Someone gets attacked near a pokemon card . . . scalpers are attacking real fans. Store gets broken into . . . Scalpers thought they had pokemon cards in there. Pokemon card vending machine gets vandalized . . . scalpers are mad they cant buy more cards from the machine. Someone trips and destroys their own card . . . scalpers are tripping people to increase the value of their own cards. Anything negative that happens related to pokemon is a scalper doing it.
Scalpers ruin everything. Stop funding these people and just skip a box or two. They will sell all their shit for cheap unless they want to sell their houses instead.
i do get the hate for scalpers but just calling people scalpter for the fun of it makes it sound like a clownshow of people who cry bc they just didnt get what they wanted. How can they be scalpers when they play the game and do the steps to earn the card? you can only have one pokemon account anyways otherwise you would breach tos so yea
calling people scalpers and crying on the internet whilst saying you are bringing the hot news is kinda the only thing this guy is able to do huh. fking sad, people who want pokemon cards arent scalpers or you are right with saying only scalpers get cards bc per definition everyone is a scalper
You are the pokemon fans. You make the rules. Stop buying from scalpers. Stop buying from whatever seems like it ruins it for everyone. Trust me, when this gets boring, you won't have fun either.

$300 on eBay? Really?
Pokemon as a whole has been ruined by its popularity.
That's like a 300 dollar card right now. 😂
I love Pokémon, but man I hate the hobby now. It seems like everybody’s just trying to screw over the next guy. (I know that’s how capitalism works.)
I really hope more things like this happen so Gamefreak they can permanently shut down scalpers
Soooooo we nerds need to go underground again?
Scalpers on their way to ruin anything 😂
Was it a big tackle …flop

Without scalpers it woulda been the same. Dont judge POS when everyone is a POS
That card looks 🔥
What happened to the printed promos does that mean they’re gonna be rare now

That promo card looks like literally every normal common ever pulled but with a special little stamp

Hobby is so cooked right now I want that card😢
Selling for 50k so far 😂
SK does not play about crowd control after the Itaewon Crush in 2022, so I am not surprised it was shut down so fast

Huge W for collector
I can't fathom becoming violent in an effort to get a magikarp card of all things. Pathetic.
Maybe what that guy said ages ago about pokemon being demonic is not entirely wrong.
Sad, im a pokemon go fan and i hate to see this.
A way to stop them would be make them Jumbo only then the scalpers will not turn up. Look at Pikachu at the museum
glad yugioh isnt like this at all jfc

I'm sure scalpers were there but I don't think it's fair to say that they caused the riot.
Surely almost everyone there wanted the card
I feel special
All your computers need to be investigated. Adults collecting little kids game.
You are the pokemon fans. You make the rules. Stop buying from scalpers. Stop buying from whatever seems like it ruins it for everyone. Trust me, when this gets boring, you won't have fun either.
And now we all know that Card exists and that almost nobody got it so now it’s even worth even more money?!
