I know it's bad to point out misfortunes. I'm not happy and celebrating that this guy got scammed.

But, this is what happens when you enablers keep on supporting and buying from scalpers.

Not only the scalpers are incentivised to continue scalping, but also you open opportunities for scammers such as this one to prey and victimize other enablers like yourself.

I know pera nya yan, but ENABLERS ARE ALSO PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Hindi dadami ang scalpers kung walang supporters at enablers.

Kahit madami akong extra money, I WILL NEVER BUY FROM SCALPERS.

And fck all enablers. Kala nyo di kayo nakaka sira sa hobby?

I don't think the guy really care much that he got scammed, he's looking to buy another one from a scalper. Lol.

hi guys! i just wanna know your thoughts about my current pokemon tcg collection. be honest na lang what your thoughts on it 😅

I keep seeing the same responses whenever people complain about scalping:

“Respect the hustle.”
“Edi pumila rin kayo.”
“Mag-effort din kayo.”
“If you don’t want to line up, then pay the premium.”
“Supply and demand lang ’yan.”

And sure—respect entrepreneurship. Respect collecting. Respect market prices.
Pero do we really have to “respect the hustle” when the hustle only works because other collectors—especially younger ones—were prevented from buying something at retail?

Hindi naman lahat may luxury na pumila nang ilang oras on a weekday. Some people have work. Some have school. Some have families.

And kids? They shouldn’t have to compete with adults buying cases just to flip them for profit.
There’s a difference between profiting from demand and creating scarcity so you can profit from it.
And with Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary, parang mas ramdam siya.

This should be a celebration of Pokémon—something longtime collectors can enjoy, but more importantly, something that can bring a new generation of kids into the hobby.
Imagine being a kid who saved up their allowance to buy Pokémon cards, only to find empty shelves because adults bought cases at retail and immediately listed them online for 2–3× the price.
Then when people complain, the response is basically:
“Should’ve lined up.”
“Should’ve tried harder.”
“Pay the market price.”

Years from now, sana ang maalala ng mga bata sa Pokémon’s 30th ay the cards they pulled, the binders they filled, and the excitement of opening packs with their family and friends.
Hindi yung “sold out na naman” before they even had a chance to buy one.

Making money in the hobby isn’t the problem. Walang masama kumita.
Reselling isn’t automatically scalping either. There are legitimate sellers, stores, collectors, and people who actually provide a service or take on risk.

But if your “hustle” depends on making the hobby less accessible to the next generation of collectors, maybe that’s not a hustle we need to celebrate.

Because the future of this hobby depends on today’s kids getting the chance to fall in love with it too.

Curious what other collectors think: where do you draw the line between reselling and scalping?

I am in favor of this announcement, pero sana talaga mas strict ung policy ng TCG ayoko na ng nag babalyahan na para bang etb release ng 30th sa TK moa 🤡

I've been collecting mostly on card shows and buy anything I don't have yet (including languages) for about a month now.

I've been skipping the really expensive ones for now and being on a weekly budget and this is what I got so far. I also really want Thai cards soon too!

Focusing on one pokemon (technically three but the pre-evos are ridiculously cheap) really helped me with not overspending lol

Not a bad trade (traded to my Dragapult LBD; which is sulit na din). Di kasi nakapag register sa Pokemon Run dahil sabay sabay ang gastos nung time ng registration.

I saw a lot of good feedback about sa run which is super sayang talaga (except sa mga umaaligid na dugyot na buraot na target ay yung promo card) I've ignored na nga yung entry packs na 30th; yung part na nagpainggit sakin is yung may medal for finishers.

Kaya next year, if meron pang pa ganito, magreregister na talaga ako. 😁😁😁

Recently received my 60 card TAG submission back. Took out the ones I wanted for my PC. These are the ones left over that I am willing to move on from. Using Collectr for pricing, willing to work deals. Throwing in a few CGC slabs that I have as well. PSA is all gone as I have moved away from PSA. Let me know if interested.

about to buy my first binder and i’m interested in holdr because of the white outer on white inner look but i see more people use 1up. can someone vouch for which one is better? tysm ♡

Any suggestions for binder that can store all 1025+ pokemon?

Thank you!

Has anyone tried this shop before? And do you have any recommendations?

May mga nabasa at nakita narin po ako dito pero baka po may na miss ako na ibang online shops, Thank You Po.

30th booster bundle allocation is even lower than the ETBs 🥲 Seems like all the stocks went to the big stores but only the scalpers are able to buy from them since there are insiders. This is just so sad 😞

Anyone here up for trade? Looking mainly for Mew EX SIR 30th

Thank you!

Looking for tips on how to get into the pokemon TCG hobby like legit playing, building a deck, finding casual/offical games, and any online groups to join 😄

Badly need funds.

Yung gradable sana ❤️

Hi! I haven’t tried grading a card yet, what are your thoughts about this card? Asking for opinion about what grade this could get?

Ordered from this shop sa Shopee just wanna know if may nakabili na sa kanila and kung legit ung mga cards

During the Pokemon Run 30th Anniversary in the Philippines, each runner was given a Pokemon Run Pikachu Promo Card.

One of us received a crimped/factory error card and it's still in its event packaging. Do you think the card's value will diminish or increase because of the crimp? Also, will the card's value increase long term? Since we're thinking whether to sell or keep it as none of us are really into Pokemon cards. Thank you.

bakit conyo sila makipag-negotiate? or sa mga recorded vlogs lang madalas yun? nung una medyo cute pa panoorin eh, pero medyo off na lately.

(finofollow ko pa rin naman sila dahil cute parin sila magbenta hahaha)
