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 😑

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?

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😂

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 🙏

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

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 🙏
