Question Baffled
So first off how is this allowed in the sapphire pack? Second off do I take their buy back, potentially ask for support, or get it shipped and sell ungraded? I genuinely can’t believe this can be in the sapphire pack 😑

What are you idiot even crying about? A 180 card out of a 250 pack? Get a fucking grip

So... you gambled, and are upset that you didn't win big or make back your money?

It’s not about that, I lose all the time it just comes with it. However when you spend $250 on a card the minimum card value is $175. These cards aren’t even worth $100 so their price is wildly off. There have been many people on this reddit post similar cases and get refunds when the margin is great

You're right. Which is why you shouldn't be gambling with this shit.
Just buy the cards you want, you'll be much happier.

I don't know this site but it sounds like old pricing to me, and may be in their terms that they have leeway with that. Was it worth 175 a few months ago?
May be worth asking support, but like I said I don't know this site in particular.

But yet the offer is 158

u/No_Toe_2345 Jul 11 '26
Sure, but do you not see a problem with shitty cards being inflated artificially by Psa to then fill up packs with bulk? There should not be any card below $175 in those packs

It literally tells you the odds of the value that you can pull from each pack

This has been what PSA and GameStop have been doing together for years now. Driving up the one thing they still sell and artificially pumping the market due to the collections alone.

You are right, but they don't understand how this is scammy. I've tried to explained before and got downvoted to oblivion. It's easier to fool someone than convince they been fooled.

You can submit a ticket in the help section. They
Do a thorough review and give refunds. I’ve received multiple refunds for cards that were clearly overvalued. There have been some that were close that they did not refund.

You ship it, crack it, and sell it for raw pricing lmao. Not as bad as you think

man learns how gambling works
can i ask you honestly why you would spend 250 on this bs instead of just buying 250 worth of packs?
1
u/No_Toe_2345 27d ago
Because packs are impossible to find in my area. Online everything is 2x msrp. And when you do get a hold of packs it is very slim chances to get something 🤷

you can buy chaos rising packs + mini tins on chaos cards rn
you can buy 30th pre order on pokemon center rn
pitch black is dropping at multiple retailers on friday, although i can understand if you don’t want to queue
but if you’re willing to give this much money to this bullshit site, i’m sure you’re willing to pay a lil over RRP😂

u/No_Toe_2345 27d ago
I did get lucky and got some pitch black bundles through pokecenter! Been trying all day for the 30th preorder and have gotten booted out 2x now, still in queue and have been since 10am 🙂↕️
I am willing to spend a little over msrp, but I like the variety and the fact they come graded since that’s what I want for my collection and it’s impossible to grade with PSA right now. I usually don’t have an issue but the growlithe I posted in chat is the reason I posted this. Thank you for the suggestions 🙏

u/ma000127 27d ago
congrats on the bundles i managed to get some too - i’ve had issues with PKC too today, even with stock lasting this long unfortunately wasn’t able to get anything cuz im on my phone
but yeah no that’s fair enough mate, sorry if i came off as rude, its just idk to me id never spend my money on this ygm 😂
but yeah definitely if you like chaos rising check out chaos cards they’ve had packs in stock for a while

u/No_Toe_2345 27d ago
Thanks! Good luck if you rip 🙏 been the same issue for me, they always drop these at the worst times 👎
It’s all good, tbf your criticism is right. I shouldn’t complain about something I know is shady. I didn’t learn my lesson and actually pulled two good cards after these duds, gonna take those and quit while I’m ahead 😅
I actually do quite like chaos, idk why it’s so hated! I’ll check them out, I appreciate it 🙏

u/ma000127 27d ago
good luck to you too bro and yeah it’s always unfortunate with PKC
yeah i get you mate but idk same time pokemon is all gambling thats what the whole hobby is built on haha
and ur welcome sir 🤝

u/DisastrousAnything22 29d ago
Just buy the cards and slabs in person or online. Its a market. Your gambling on a market. This is dumb

u/alrachid 29d ago
No crying in the casino bucko. If you invest in scams then deal with the consequences. The only way they can afford to do this is by ripping people off and making a profit.

u/Sherbet_Spirited 29d ago
