What are your unpopular opinions in pokemon?

actually i am replying to the guys that think they high rollers. My original comment today was pointed the member that says "ultra modern… nah … " … “welcome to the big boys/leagues…” something to that context , cause the dude has 5 digit cards vintage/grails…

I just answer back. No comment = not firing back.

For some reason, when i answer to a jerk post, you all think i started it. lol

We have the quantity and people can trust it.
not 100% PSA 10’s , but the consistency is there thru shear volume. We cannot catch everything, but we do have huge quantities.

who said this?

Will be honest with you. less than 50% of the pack fresh Japanese singles ,are PSA 10’s. No where can it be 99%. (we talking excluding commons and uncommons)

we can get 100 ssr zards. maybe 30 10’s , 50 borderline 10’s, 15 9’s 5 8 below. Just by centering and whitening .

i am pretty sure it was in this thread a while back. We were discussing ultra modern . Was trying to look for that comment to quote it today. Believe it or not, when a “jerk” posts something , i dont post back immediately , i just wait awhile. Should have just fired back at that time.

I feel like I’m listening to a crypto bro from 2020 and I feel like the argument has lost the main point and devolved into emotions. From what can be gathered, @tokyopokemon had a point that is “valid” in theory and maybe applies to them; however, made it personal and brought the level of the conversation down. I don’t think anyone was insulting you bro but when you start insulting others and saying how lazy other people are and how great your collection it, it tends to make people not want to take your side. I am having fun though watching this unfold in real-time.

Are you sure it is not the other way around? seems like many people here are getting emotional and firing back. LOL

Tokyo I know people have been sarcastic and rude, myself included. Your thread would go so much further if more information was presented rather than gross sales. There are really good questions people are asking and you don’t want to engage in any of them. Instead you fire back in a way that is enticing good people to respond in a negative way.

Perhaps take a step back and think about who and how you want to engage here

I’m just a bystander but I did read the thread before commenting. I think there were people opposed to your argument naturally but no one made it personal until you started talking how you were 100% right and they were wrong. I think your argument had some good points but you were indeed being a “jerk” about it. Which is your choice freedom of speech all that.

Serious question.

What i dont get is that if you have find the infinite money glitch.
Than why would you tell and brag to all the random strangers on a forum how smart and good and how rich you are and sharing your magical secrets?

This is very different from my experience. I dont deal in the same volume you do, so naturally our experience will differ a bit, but when I order 500 cards from Japan probably 475 are gradeable.

So sure, not 99% thats a bit of an exaggeration, but still a very high percent

context reading. These guys said i make $1 hour, dont value my time. So i give them what they want to here. If you know (and some here do ) how i am, you would know i am laughing and have so much fun.

I’ve been trying to find that, I don’t think they did. I am not trying to take sides or be negative. I think some things were most likely misinterpreted on here. I don’t think anyone even you were intentionally being disrespectful. I just hate to see thoughtful discussions get so negative.

Keep your source. Under 50% is high probability 10’s. Japan does not care about centering. We are talking pack fresh and never for sale in shops. So right from the shop, just by the centering , its 60-70%.
If you go looking for higher end cards in Japan. The probability of finding 10’s drops way under 50%. Centering is the biggest issue in Japan. Gradable 9’s, yes, it can be 90% plus .

Can we get one of those site filters like we do with multi level marketing scheme for the word “personal” when that word is used before collection. Filter it to just say collection. And initiate a silencer for 5 minutes

So, I’ve seen a couple vintage pack cracking videos lately, and have been more interested in seeing modern. Am I the only one? I feel like Vintage pack opening videos is near totally fizzled…

Subjective observation. It depends on how many pack openings you have watched and your tolerance for getting desensitized to things.

If you’ve seen it all with sets, you’re left with the newest releases. I reach that point a couple years ago and haven’t looked back yet
