The people that own a copy obviously have the biggest stake in what people think about the card. Obviously they will be the first to defend it, is this a shocking revelation? Is it equally shocking that most detractors donât own the card? Are we to assume everyone with a copy just wants to make money and everyone who doesnât is just salty?
I think the people who are vigorously trying to defend the card arenât doing a service to their cause. I also think if someone is really not interested in this card because of the ambiguity of its production, they wouldnât even participate in this thread. Thereâs so much vitriol over the card. If you like it and believe itâs real, just enjoy the card for what it is. If you donât like the card or think itâs not real, donât participate in keeping the discussion about it active.
As for me, I own a copy and at this point I donât give a fuck if Joe blow the collector believes itâs real or not or if it goes up to $4000 or down to $0.40 since I donât have any intention of selling my copy.
People already have made up their mind and the truth will never be made perfectly clear. Thereâs no sense in either side trying to push their narrative about what the card is or isnât. The biggest irony is that this whole mess is entirely antithetical to the original intention of the card in the first place.
Also protip for anyone who genuinely wants to get to the bottom of the story on this card. Smpratte is one of the most informed and unbiased people with information on the topic and has a patreon tier where he is forced to answer your questions.
He also said something about me getting a $5 kickback for every person I recommend ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
People that say its easy to get a card stamped and everyone can do it for cheap. Tell me then why noone that makes âcostumâ cards on ebay, instagram, etssy does it since its free money. 1-100 PIKACHU with EBAY Stamp.
It doesnât help that a click baity youtuber is trying to get hits. Remember that this is the guy that said Redâs Pikachu was the rarest card of 2018 or something like that.
Maybe Scott should make an E4 one for us all to buy?
Lol Dude responsible for these cards getting stamped literally came out with a statement thread stating it wasnât official. It was not Hartford regionals or associated with Hartford regionals. It was an unofficial event that a dude on here put together. Getting something like this okâd doesnât make it official, it makes it legal. And Iâm guessing that while he cleared up any potential legal problems with holding the event and distributing the stamped cards, there are still legal problems that could arise from you all listing them on eBay as officially stamped cards. Or he would not have stated that there is a problem with you all listing it on eBay as official the way he did in his statement threadâŚthat states they are not official.
Just so people are aware, there was a member who was banned that has a massive hate boner and has used 4 alt accounts to shit on this card. They are unaware I can see their actual IP as well as the vpn they are using.
I just checked @jungle IP and sure enough it was from a vpn. Here is a comparison of the actual vpn they were using vs an organic ip:
Letâs see, we just discovered interstitium (which is a newly discovered human organ). Weâve landed on Mars. We produced mice using two mothers.
Probably best not to challenge people on getting cards gold stamped cause you could start a flood of people putting in the effort.
Itâs best to simply treat these cards in the spirit Charlie intended, which was very honorable, instead of an item to take advantage of others.
ofc itâd be reaper. Someone on CN got banned yesterday for going full-retard about the card as well, and Iâm very convinced people are making multiple anonymous/spam accounts to trash the card on youtube. Say what you will about unlisted leaf, but itâs been hilarious seeing his vid get over 75,000 views in under a day with enough upvotes and comments that they cant manage to control the narrative.
Yep. All the same ip and VPN usage. Here is a screen grab from the activity log. We have 1,000 or so guests and varying amount of members that daily check the site. Itâs impossible to manage every potential alt in real time.
