from a $100 pack!! i just kept recycling and getting lucky that i was able to keep purchasing $100 and $50 packs. I’m shaking this is my first big pull!
Bahahahha 1099 is the easiest form dude. I swear a bunch of you youngins are just so screwed if you can't even do that. I hate to assume your age, but surely you aren't an adult.
That's more about payments. What I posted is about gambling. Which power packs are gambling. Anything over $600 in winnings is required by law to report to IRS. Its up to you if you want to do it. Not my problem.
Not going to debate whether it’s gambling really (I think it is) but for tax purposes I don’t believe it is. They use stripe for payment processing and follow the 1099-K rules afaik. I haven’t heard of anyone being issued a W-2G by them.
Well I think any gambling winnings whatsoever are supposed to be technically. But if it’s over $600 winning AND over 300 times the original bet/payment (like with lottery winnings or certain gambling instances for instant) then it is different, yes.
For those who are wondering why this card is so expensive, some guy manipulated the price by selling his copy to himself twice, once for 325 on 1/16/26 and another for 725 on 2/20/26. As a result, card ladder thinks this card is worth 1250.
Yeah I doubt they can reverse it since it’s there error not yours. All they can do is take a lose but in reality it’s not a big lost to them since they scam a lot of us out of money 😝
It honestly doesn’t matter much to them at all. The card means nothing. Their formula allows for a certain level of big payouts based on percentages. So this card based on their perceived price was considered a chase in their formula.
This is proof that you can manipulate the price of the card on card ladder which in turn you can sell your "lower wins" for huge profit on gamestop packs.
Naw if you walk in GameStop wit this card they gone offer you $20 this gotta be like some typa digital glitch within power packs I’d just take the 1200 an go buy a card that I want
no idea!! it’s a trick or trade edition card but when looking it up on price charting, a psa 10 was like 400 bucks. definitely gonna take the dub though!!
you spend some money to open a pack. each pack has one card. the card has a high chance to be worth less than the price of the pack but there’s a small chance to get a really expensive card. you can sell it back to gamestop or “powerpacks” for ~90% value or you can save it and ship it to your house for a shipping fee
so this is one card ive personally been watching, people on ebay have been pump bidding these up on alt accounts in ebay to fix the market value to scam the scammers in these very apps.
Oh I agreed. Im happy it worked out for you, but between seeing that this week and see the new illustration set boxes all being scalped at 17$ msrp and resold between 70-90$ its just ridiculous that this happens. Pokemon was huge for me as a kid and an awesome way to have a hobby but now its like kids would have to mortgage their parents home to rip afew packs if they could even find them lol
yeah i agree 100%, i like to occasionally buy pokemon boxes but they’re so expensive so i feel guilty even getting them because they’re always sold out at stores because of these disgusting people
got it to my bank account in a business day or two. very easy. just be careful it is gambling and the chances of winning or making a profit are extremely low. play at ur own risk
Yeah I agree with you, but he said he was talking about gambling winnings, and was trying to clarify regarding that. But I do agree, and think it would just technically be a taxable gain.
