    $17 for a surging sparks pack should be considered a crime against humanity

  2. Aggravating_Use_5391

    I saw $20/ea at a random kiosk in the Denver airport!

    That’s insane… no wonder they are all still sitting there. I absolutely refuse to pay anything above market price… if it’s not market price, I just simply don’t buy it.

  4. Sniffawiffagus

    Dont buy it. Thats the only thing you can really do atp.

  5. Beneficial-Train7015

    And I thought 8$ a pack was a crime

  7. Cute_Ad_1612

    On release I saw 45 (CAD) on Prismatic. That shit was atrocious 😭

  8. DoctorReinhardt

    The biggest form of payback you can give is to not buy it.

    At that price they’ll likely sit there

  9. GossipGavin

    don’t worry they will very soon be going below that when they can’t get rid of them lowkey

    Their landed costs for this display are probably higher than MSRP, but $17 is still criminal.

  13. Initial_Row_6400

    Oh wow. That’s almost as bad as that airport machine post

  14. AppleAppellation

    If I was super drunk I wouldn’t even make this purchase and this is coming from someone who once bought a $800 vintage neon Coca-Cola sign when drunk.

    That’s some Epstein shit, poor kids

    I was at Newbury Comics yesterday and had to do the walk of shame when they started ringing Phantasmal up at 14.99.. like what the hell. No thank you

  17. xMF_GLOOM

    Absolutely blows my mind folks rip any modern pack worth even more than $7 😂

  18. Ok-Effort-4898

    Considering one of them has the zard $17 is a discount
    /s

    i saw something like this going for $25 at a random tourist trap souvenir shop one time. i get that those establishments will overprice stuff regardless but $25 for one pack of cards has to be illegal.

    It’s Sugar, right?

    Same price for loose packs in their American Dream Mall store. They had an ABUNDANCE of stock, I was shocked until they told me the prices.

  21. EarthPuma120

    $17?! No thanks, I already got surging sparks booster packs from family dollar and some Phantasmal flames packs from Target. $5 a piece

  25. puppypott

    yeah seen the same recently like r we deadass rn.

  27. garycantbefound

    I just got a 151 booster bundle for $27 from a Pokémon vending machine. These people can suck it.

  29. Milla4Prez66

    Makes me happy to see all that stock sitting there then. Eventually these mfers need to see Pokemon cards collecting dust on their shelves at their scalped prices.

    Just got done for $7 a pop at 2 separate local TCG stores.

  31. LegoRedBrick

    Inflation nation lol…honestly crooked behavior

  32. LostCarat

    SF? San Francisco? If yes, just take them and walk out, they don’t care about petty theft /s .. orrrrr am I?

  33. MitziAlbright

    Lol my LCS wants 11.99 for phantasmal lol giant Tiger has it for 7.99

  34. neednograss

    and thought I just got robbed buying an Ascended sticker collection for $40 at my LCS lol

  35. nonbinarynutella

    I went to a local card/gaming shop a few months ago to see if they had any Pokémon cards in stock. Packs ranged from $12.99-$14.99 each. I haven’t gone back since.

  36. Safety-Shmafety

    I just bought these at the Pokémon vending machine for my kid. They were $5.99 each

  37. burnedkid

    California needs to be treated like a car battery.

  38. MetalDart

    To anyone else in the bay area, whats the best way to actually buy packs?
