ALL GOLD STARS RANKED BY COOLNESS For those that don't know Gold Stars are from the EX Era and represent the shiny version of the Pokemon

@Jhkad221659 I wrote this whole thing myself

@AustinTani Thanks ChatGPT.

This card is emblematic for the pokémon “crash” of 2027. When the flippers are gone, and people realize their collections won’t infinitely go up and to the right, the whispers of panic will start. Group chats will hear of liquidations and to avoid holding “the bag” cards will start to flood the market with no liquidity. TCG or any auction based market i.e. ebay will always need buyers to price support. If no one bids on the auctions there will be constant downward pressure on values. That downward pressure sets new lows, sets new panic, and sets new sale demand. This creates a cycle of falling single prices. Don’t believe me? Ask the basketball and football fans who purchased hot rookies in 2018-2020. Once the buyers at auctions dried up their rookie PSA 10s fell off and then spiraled off a cliff. Even sealed wasn’t safe. Look at the graph I posted of the 2019 prizm box. Sealed out of print will hold steady with natural supply constraints but modern cards with PSA 10 pops of 30,000+ will not hold. The prices you see of phantasmal, ascended, destined rivals, third or fourth chase level and below will fall into irrelevance as new money / flippers / scalpers chase the new 2026, 2027, 2028 product. That new money will chase new product and won’t get diverted to the third or forth best card in the set years later. Think Tyler Herro of 2019 nba rookies. The Pokémon market won’t go away but if you think your $1,000 psa 10 ultra modern pokémon cards will be worth $10,000 in 2 years I would reconsider. This is not financial advice and to save yourself stress you should think of cards as cool rankings rather than flipping your wait to prosperity. Thank you coming to my Ted Talk.

@CoolGuyPodge yeah my youtube channel is basically my 3rd job that I don't get paid for yet hahahah I am hoping to get monetized by this year but its so tough I think pokemon vending content would be better its more entertaining and people like to watch the deals

@AustinTani LMAO I’ll see, working full time and putting so much into sourcing and double shows is so exhausting

my last three vlogs all broke 100 views!!

@Callum__2000 yeah I agree it should be worth more for sure but 3x I gotta get 10 more jobs to be pulling everyone of those

@AustinTani More premium product and also less risk of tampering but 3x is a bit crazy tbh

would you pay 3x for the same pack because it’s in the blister?

@CoolGuyPodge maybe I can really be your employee!

@AustinTani Need you to be my content editor

@CoolGuyPodge fireeee this content is goated I'm going to post a Hawaii Popcon Buyer POV video I feel like the vendor ones are better though because I don't have the vendor and my brother / me miced up so you can here all of the negotiations

@AustinTani I got the stuff and streamed a few shows but connection was ass so stopped. Need to start recording vendor POVs and show prep

@kirstyn ask that guy that wanted to give you all of his evolving skies booster boxes

okay who wants to fund it

@kodiescooking we’ve been losing so much we have to win eventually

@AustinTani Win some and lose some

and it fades so quickly

@harukaawake This can’t be real 😭😭😭

🇯🇵 A waiter is asked to sing Happy Birthday in Japanese. He's clearly not Japanese and doesn't know the language so he sings "Mitsubishi... Nissan" instead. I hope this girl realizes she's being trolled. 😅

@Investmentkage Kage flexing on us with his gold star

I started putting my Pokemon portfolio together. One card down 100’s of more to go 😭

@Agc1334 at this point it’s not really worth the time driving and meeting up with someone who may or may not show up last minute if I sell it online / ebay I have a designated window to pack it and drop it off at usps when it’s convenient for me

@AustinTani That's why you always do marketplace sales at the the police station parking lot, most places have designated areas even

my brother tried to sell something off facebook marketplace and someone pulled a gun on him and he lost the product the ebay fee feels high but you can ship out whenever and you don’t need to make time to do the hand off and the person is a criminal or a flake so ebay > facebook sellers beware

@KodyKennedyKK this is so brutal lollll

My buddy got his first ever PSA sub back and his words to me were… “F@!% PSA” These were from a god pack he pulled too. Hate it for ya bud 🤣

@CoolGuyPodge Those exes are crazy

Holy fuck this mail day is HOT 🦀

@KaneGang420 @LSUnited62 thats what I'm saying I've also opened 5 ETBs haven't hit a single one of the special illustration rares lol

@LSUnited62 @AustinTani Let's be real...no one counts basic EXs as "hits" they're like..."oh, it's an Ex..." Like...a tiny step above bulk...

@LlcPickaxe paid impressions is like the legacy media rage bait gets views, more views = more $$$$

Tf happened to Poketwitter? Yall so negative and have such weird ahh energy it’s such a buzz kill. Used to be able to hop on the app and vibe with cool people who just enjoy cards. I miss old Poketwitter 😮‍💨

@Kramaramb hahahahahaahaha

When the scammer knows the jig is up

@GummyBeerBoi thank you for your condolences

@AustinTani I’m so sorry 💔

I will always regret selling this in 2022

@LSUnited62 no unfortunately i've been a degn ripper for years

@AustinTani 50% hit rate is solid? You new?

this poll was a lot closer than I thought it would be
