@twotarou @tanatana5252 I worked with Japanese transplants from Japanese companies and the benefits these guys got was insane. Also you can leave at 5 which shocked them the most, lmao.

@ahboyash MFS will really sit here and calculate the odds of which Pokemon card casino is the best to lose money at
English
Sensationalist grail pulls make for great screenshots
But what people should really be looking at is the odds distribution. Not just the price of the pack or the card someone hit once
A better question is
• what’s the floor?
• how bottom-heavy is it?
• what are the actual grail odds?
It’s not just the prices $2.5k vs $500 but you also have to take into account the odds distribution
@Courtyard_io Legend Pack:
• 39% for $1.4k - $1.9k
• 31% for $1.9k - $2.5k
• 24% for $2.5k - $5k
• 5% for $5k - $10k
• 0.6% for $10k - $40k
@Beezie Platinum TCG:
• 75.08% for $250 - $500
• 21.09% for $501 - $1.5k
• 3.35% for $1.5k – $5k
• 0.32% for $5k - $10k
• 0.16% for $10k+
TLDR:
• Courtyard has a much higher floor. Most outcomes are around the $1.4k to $5k pricing
• Beezie is much more bottom-heavy. About 75% of outcomes are only $250 - $500 (using $500 spend)
• Courtyard seems to have the better chance at a true grail hit: 0.6% for $10k - $40k v.s Beezie’s 0.16% for $10k+
• So Beezie is cheaper to enter. But Courtyard has a much higher floor and higher grail odds too
Not saying one protocol is better than the other, merely inviting discussion to focus on the actual mechanisms here. More people need to learn how to read odds.
Otherwise they’ll keep reacting to headlines instead of understanding the product.

Courtyard is bragging that someone pulled a Charizard Poncho Pikachu from their $2,500 “legend pack”, claiming it’s worth almost 20k USD. Earlier today, the exact same card was pulled on Beezie from a $500 claw, and they’re pricing it much more realistically. $2,500 vs $500 cost. One is built to exploit uninformed users. The other is built to serve passionate collectors. Choose your onchain TCG platform wisely.
English
@StonkHands Realistically the true price of cards should be about 15% lower than other marketplaces due to significantly lower fees, no shipping, etc.
I don't think it's unreasonable for cards on chain to sell for less.
The marketplaces need way more tooling and users though
English
So far all the crypto RWA Pokemon / TCG Gachas are still missing liquidity for marketplaces.
For the most part you feel forced to sell the card back or redeem it if you want to keep or sell on eBay or other markets.
Unless you list way under market value its kinda rare to get any sales even with low to no marketplace fees.
What could be done to change that?
Buying Incentives? Earn points buying cards to eventually get free pulls?
English
@Poke_Bondo Why? The platforms are better for sellers: no physical inventory to maintain, instant settlement, and all the platforms are significantly lower in fees.
The only problem I see, atm, is a lack of users and you do have a trust a 3rd party. No unlike any vaults.

These dudes never stop...
"Most pokemon cards will be traded as NFTs in the future" is absolute NONSENSE!!! To my Pokémon people, how can you look at this and not speak up?!
DGMD.6529@DGMD22
NFTs are inevitable my friend. Most pokemon cards will be traded as NFTs in the future and housed by a centralized intermediary unless the physical is desired to be custodied by the owner directly. NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens) are just ways of proving and transferring immutable ownership of an object (can be a representative of a physical object or a natively digital one). Most of the 2021 NFTs you are referencing will indeed not be worth anything in the future, it was a bubble. But there is a reason it created a bubble, the technology has expansive future use cases.

Set up my ClawdBot to arbitrage trade between crypto Pokemon card platforms & traditional ones.
- crypto platforms are about 15-20% cheaper than market
- scrape listings + average sales on traditional platforms
- take listings from crypto sites that are mispriced and post the lowest market price on traditional sites
- if it sells, automatically buy it from the crypto site & ship it directly to the buyer
20% profit margins.
0 stored inventory.
Insane demand.

And so the broker said, "To who? You're the felt hat Pikachu man"
PlayKami@PlayKamiApp
Pokémon cards just went institutional. @MemeStrategy (HKEX:2440) launched what they’re calling the world’s first tokenized Pokémon trading card fund (for professional investors) via EVIDENT. Flagship holding: PSA 10 “Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat” • Estimated market cap: $94m • PSA10 pop: ~47,000 (capped) • Price: +400% since late 2023 • Goal: exposure to ~25% of available PSA10 supply Culture → capital is happening in real-time

@THEPOKEPLATEAU Mew was planned as a story element.
Mew, the actual in game Pokemon, was not and got squeezed in the last second.
English
This story has been shared so many times but I’m curious as to why it exists.
My reason is that Mew was the very first Pokemon to ever be copyrighted. The application was filed in 1990 and granted in 1994, long before the games were released or even the term “Pocket Monsters” existed.
So why was the very first Pokemon to be copyrighted, originally not planned to be in the game at all? 🤔
りむる@rimuru__8
許可なく生まれてしまった幻のポケモン……それがミュウ。 実は初代ポケモン赤・緑の開発終盤、 デバッグが終わった後に、プログラマーの森本茂樹さんが、 わずか300ビットというソフトの残容量に、こっそりミュウをゲームデータに追加したんです。 本来入れる予定がなかったポケモンだったのに、 『面白そうだから』という理由で勝手に実装。 まさに『許可なく生まれた幻のポケモン』なんですよね。 そのせいでバグも生まれて、 『サントアンヌ号のトラックの下のミュウ』みたいな伝説も後から爆発的に広まったわけです。 世界で一番ヤンチャな幻のポケモン……ミュウ

@BullNakedCrypto @LoganPaul PSA owns two other grading services too so...lmao. You would still end up funneling business their way
English
@BullNakedCrypto @LoganPaul What will collapse the pokemon (modern) market will be when TPCI expands their printing facility in 2027. They can't even meet the current demand.
English
Hot Take:
Pokemon market will collapse because of @LoganPaul and the sale of the "fake" #PSA10 Pikachu, because its clearly not a 10
An investigation will be done into PSA, which will turn out there is hella shady shit going on, collapsing the networth of any PSA Slab and the market it self
English
@SandyofCthulhu That's not true. I knew plenty of kids who were barred from pokemon
English
Fun fact: nobody thought Pokemon were Satanic or immoral.
🖤 Buy Physical Media 🖤@VHSDVDBLURAY4K
In 2000 #Pokemon was deemed Satanic and immoral but Pope John Paul II blessed the franchise Saying… the games / cards did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and were based on "ties of intense friendship and full of creative imagination”
English
@PokeTeeJay @collectormane @Bills_Burnr I mean, did you forget about CGC grading a bunch of beta pokemon cards?
English
@collectormane @Bills_Burnr Other companies have taken 9s, swapped the grade to a 10, and sold it for 10x value?
English
I’d like to hear one legitimate reason why someone would still grade with PSA especially for their personal collection with no intention of flipping.
I’m not just preaching for TAG in this case. There’s CGC, BGS, ACE, etc, other options, why still choose PSA when they seem to continue to screw their customers?
English
@DaylightsTV If you're trying to buy/sell or even just hold, as long as third party is reputable it is a superior experience. No one wants to eat eBay's 12% fee, put up with shipping, dealing with a seller who has decided not to send it to you because the price went up etc.
English
@LookAtMyMeat1 I'm old enough to remember when steam didn't do refunds and were only compelled to do it after the courts made them
English
>Valve makes a online storefront
>everything about it is free
>support actually works
>seasonal sales
>generous and clearly defined refund policy
>regional pricing
>costumers naturally flock to it and choose it over the competition
>this is somehow illegal
Dexerto@Dexerto
Valve faces a $900 million lawsuit in the UK over Steam pricing and commissions The lawsuit claims Valve abused its Steam monopoly to impose "unfair" prices

You don't even need to zoom in, you can see how badly the card is beat.
Someone is going to get gigaburned.
English
@phygitals can you guys double check wherever you are pulling prices from? There is no way the Charizard below is worth 69k. It's worth roughly 2k. The card is in terrible condition and even recent auctions are at like 2-2.5k. it's probably pulling for a shadowless 10 Charizard?
English
@Courtyard_io are you ever going to fix your listing issue? It's been going on three weeks

@nonplayablecin The second one, I swear, is a great read and is very approachable. I know it sounds very dry and boring but I found it to be very enlightening.
English
@nonplayablecin The 1st goes over financial bubbles, it reads as almost a comedy.
The 2nd discusses debt and it's history and what, really, is debt from all view points.
The 3rd is a fantasy series and it's kino. It follows a torturer and his journey. Can't say too much more without spoilers.
