Had this article on tab for too long. Please don’t ban me or anyone expressing since such topic is condemmed to be repeated rightfully without creating forward community growth. The many’s needs matter over the elitist few.
At peak, It’s unfair this information was cleared to becoming dangerous for outsiders unaware trying to learn about it. Thereby locking threads ironically assisted in creating panicked, emotional bubblebeaming buys before it was hydro pumped with the sure result after so long.
Just because our moralities are lenient about this items dishonesty, this commmunity is still a clique compared to the scale of fans that can abuse it.
If future threads like these keep locking wouldn’t this cease right to express, making Striesand effect? Yes, Patreon exists however people are being scammed, card authenticity shouldn’t be a private issue and as a result the market became flooded.
Churlocker’s statement? Too late. It was commendable but forever shrouded by being suspicious elaborating when damage of buyers losing 3/4 figures to Unlistedleaf following up made what OP is asking because of previous censored information manipulated into free abuse of reinterpretation.
Before that how could take Fourthstartcg’s word on what went down as the only public source? Rightfully so we can’t, but Charizardballers with copies in hand who gained profit from the stuck ignorant did what they wanted to at advantage when the threads for finding out the truth are being locked.
If you have to stop a discussion, to help researchers unaware about hype pressure is there be an option on Proboards to lock but still see the conversation to promote growth of understanding the locked decision like showing the reason behind the ban from earlier?
To me this was my experience to not follow hype and the poisonous bubbles they create. Ebay seller @lestrosmegalos was guilt tripping me about needing to sell his 4 copies to cover his Regional event costs.
If your going to create a commemorable card for memento that can’t be real let alone graded, why not go all out unofficial but at least respect reference by containg a quote indicating it’s legitimatacy akin to the Evolutions “This card cannot be used at official tournaments” SR’s? An official E4 card as stated earlier completely new and not grossly misusing anything that is in any official frame of reference.
Charizard + C O L L E C T O R stamp = meat on the menu for sellers to abuse. Thankfully the grade companies ceased this piece of shit, ugly ass kitsch overused beer belly salamanders existence when they had the chance.
The event however is ultimately testament to them out of touch with not only the potential of third party companies but to the trademark such as how the regional logo was used and altered.
It’s cemented every fans fear that Pokémon is only a machine for producing based on sales data and not a caretaker for how it makes you feel but it’s human nature feel the need to challenge all the time because we can’t accept it and part of that is Pokémons fault ironically but who is to blame for causing sentimentality to trademarked fictional characters? How many of us have dreams within Pokémon wishing to meet achicvement that we want to make real?
Charizard is half hype from consumers be it nostalgia, the other is the companies desire to push it into every generations of the public. No one more so. Anime depicts Zard over throwing current, naturally popular era at expense to those growing on such like Greninja, Incineroar even Mewtwo.
As for gold flat stamps being aestheticlly smart and unique, two best examples come to mind are WOTC’s WB First Movie and Pikachu’s World Collection 2000 Set. As implies that was a long time ago, when Pokémon was pure for looks appeal to fans from being filtered to company derivatives.
