@pokemartalerts @ace_grading Came a long way from people's cards being stolen... glad I have never used them to grade

ACE Grading have announced their new pricing structure which kicks in from 1st June 🤑 They’ve also introduced a new yearly membership for £199, which you’ll need if you want to submit cards on the two lowest tiers 👀 @ace_grading

@OaklabsAlerts Well done to them for milking all the idiots using Ace instead of much better grading companies that also increase the value of your cards way more than Ace labels! Businesses love idiots and the world has got plenty lol

Ace Grading have announced their new service levels and pricing structure, which will apply to all submissions after June 1st. This includes significant price (2x+ in the case of higher tiers, such as Ultra) increases for higher tiers and longer time frames for all tiers. help.acegrading.com/en/article/ser… What do you think of these changes? #pokemontcg

@pokemondealsuk Unfortunately don't think they care, the invite system hasn't worked for months which is ridiculous and shows absolutely no appreciation towards their costumers

Pokémon TCG invites used to be one of the best ways for real collectors and players to get products fairly. Now it feels like 99% of invites go to people abusing multiple accounts and bots, while genuine fans get left behind. If we stay quiet, nothing changes. We need content creators, Discord communities, collectors, and players to speak up together and push for a better system. One simple solution: make invites Prime-only (or add stronger verification) to massively reduce abuse and bring fairness back. Please share this with other communities. The Pokémon TCG community deserves a fair system again.

@PBSTUK The quality is much worse, disappointing

Is it just me or does the Plastic Wrap on the Chaos Rising PC ETB's seem alot thinner and looser than normal? Not surprised alot of peoples have come damaged if the QC is that bad or they've changed for a cheaper plastic wrap. #PokemonCenter

@pokemondealsuk Ofc there is still the multi emails issue because Amazon hasn't done anything about it.... I've cancelled my prime membership coz of that

Have anyone got an invite this morning or there is still the multi account issue? ETB amzn.to/4tDuyZh Booster Display amzn.to/4uPgZqr Booster bundle amzn.to/3R1MfUS Triple blister amzn.to/49vdBJe Ad

@haroldishabit Coz there's no cars? Look left/right, there's no cars coming you can cross, simple, unless you live in the U.K.....

why does he keep crossing the road on a red light 😭

@pokemondealsuk Pure Art indeed 👏

Egawa absolutely COOKED with the mega Darkrai card! 🔥 Did you notice the abyss eye inside the card? 👀 This is not just a Pokémon card, it is art! 🙌🏻 vm.tiktok.com/ZNRtnDdco/ #pokemon #pokemontcg

@LordCharizard33 It is actually amazing!

This is arguably the worst gold card of all time. Should only be worth $20. 🐸

@pokemartalerts Well done to them lol Keep milking the desperate from an average grading company at best....

Looks like ACE are about to up their prices for grading 🤑 Like other big grading companies they’ve been inundated with submissions recently! All but their highest most expensive tier is currently closed off for new submissions 👀 Thoughts?

@PBSTUK Bad, only bots will get any product...

Looks like Argos has finally gone to app only and nothing will be sent to stores unless pre paid for. What do you think? Good or bad decision? #Argos #Pokemon

@OaklabsAlerts As expected lol thanks God I didn't even bother

Seeing reports that some SD/Games stores only received 5! Booster bundles for today, but did receive Destined Rivals booster boxes! #pokemontcg

@PBSTUK They should stop releasing sets so often and actually print to demand of current ones. The drop was yet another disgrace

Another poor drop from Pokemon Center again in my opinion, stock levels just arn't good enough for the demand of the hobby right now. Id much prefer if we didn't see a queue for awhile and then just drop alot of stock which would give more people a chance of securing. Joining a queue and it sells out that quick is just pointless. #PokemonCenter

@TomQ_EFC @PBSTUK Do you think shouldn't sell to foreigner's? They were queueing so deserved to get some product if there was any, even if buying for somebody they still had to be there! Not speaking English is irrelevant and make your comment sound racist..as you said "This is we're at"....

@PBSTUK This is where we’re at! I was at smyths the other week and random foreigners ‘couldn’t speak English’ all in the queue, 10 Mins before opening a man turns up and hands them all money telling them what to buy 💀

The Costco queue in Chester, this is bonkers on a random Tuesday morning 😂 #Costco #Charizard #UPC

@pokemondealsuk Which stores have confirmed stock?

Southampton 1st pallet sold out. There will be 2 more pallets coming between 1-2pm but still a long queue. Coming back to work 😅 Let’s pray that they drop online at least 🤞🏻

@PBSTUK Only a very very small percentage of people work night shits if that's what you mean with not working 9 to 5... Also I'd imagine also a small percentage of people with a job are self employed

@Ric_FI_FS Alot of people including myself do not 9-5's.

Honestly the demand for Ascended Heroes products is crazy, we thought Prismatic was bad Ascended has taken it to a whole new level, i even seen people queuing up at Smyths this week while it was open waiting for delivery. Some people in the queue had been waiting for 3hours. 30th Anniversary set is just going to be mental🙈

@pokemondealsuk No average collector is getting anything since "nerds" found a way to trick the invitation system which amazon doesn't seem to be bothered about....

The Amazon invite system has been a great way to make releases more accessible, which is why recent changes are a bit concerning. Lately, it feels like far fewer invites are going out compared to past release days. With bigger sets on the horizon, it might be worth taking a closer look to ensure the system continues working as intended. I’ve shared feedback with customer service, if you’ve noticed something similar, it could help to do the same so things stay fair for everyone.

@RebeccaBarbosa4 @pokemondealsuk Same here.... taken it twice

@pokemondealsuk Mine is getting delivered today by Royal Mail and Pokemon have just take the money again after taking it last week 🤔

👀

Week 4 asking @verynetwork to fix their page. Please do something! This is getting a joke!!!
