@HyperbeamTCG I've hit almost every single drop from my phone. Just get in que on time. Sometimes you get errors for no reason tho.

It’s time to have a conversation Should Pokemon Center ETBs get discontinued They barely ever restock these and bots snipe all of the supply at release Just for it to get flipped on the open market for 5x MSRP

@footballcardfun Or wait 12 months and hit 10xs

You buy a card on eBay for $100. After taxes and shipping, it’s $115. Two months later, comps on the card go up to $150. You sell at a show for 80% Congrats! You just got very lucky and made $5.

@papeldelija @KrownCryptoCave Yep.

@KrownCryptoCave Well, we know how this ends

$BTC short & long liquidation levels. easy range

This Pikachu card was $250 in 2024. Today it’s worth $3,000. That’s a 1,100% gain in under 2 years. Stocks did 30%. Bitcoin did 35%. Collectables continue to outperform every major asset class on earth. Are you paying attention? 👀

@lilybrodi Agreed. NFTs are vaporware. I would never buy another one again. Pokemon is forever.

i’m probably going to get cancelled for saying this but pokémon is the #1 ip in the world nfts aren’t pokémon cards they aren’t coming back

@Djbousquet @Arcstockstrader Dropped for $70 but only a handful of people are able to buy them 😂

@Arcstockstrader Cool bro they just dropped on target again last week for 70 bucks And they keep printing more and more and more I’m more on the side of shining fates 2.0 instead of on the side of all these new pokemon “collectors” yelling one of the most undervalued investments is prismatic

One of the most undervalued investments is sitting right in front of you.. 151 ETB an astounding nostalgia set went out of print this year and is at $650 an ETB but the master set value is $2,300 while Prismatic is $170 with a $5,200 master set.. do the math 📈

@J1518532715100 @PokemonDealsTCG I'm getting mine graded

@buyinglower @PokemonDealsTCG Stacking up Pikachu Pop tarts and keeping them sealed.

@PokemonDealsTCG Bro… we talking about some POP TARTS right now?

@barkmeta @BlockMagesNFT This was me last year. God damn did that work out well.

Sold all my crypto. I’m going all-in on Pokemon cards. Crypto had a good run but it’s finally over. No actual value. Just numbers on a screen. Pokemon cards are real. Physical. Scarce. Everyone holding crypto is going to wish they listened. Wake up before it’s too late.

@chaser_trades @barkmeta Exactly. Nobody wants some digital jpeg anymore. We all learned they all pointless scams.

@barkmeta Yea no. Pokemon cards are way more liquid than nfts. That guy was just an idiot

Ouch… This guy traded $30K+ of graded Pokemon cards for $6K in Gamestop store credit. This is the problem with physical collectibles. Selling them is a nightmare. NFTs trade instantly at real market price from anywhere on earth. Just wait until the world wakes up.

@barkmeta Nobody wants NFTs anymore. That's why pokemon and collectibles are booming.

@zmaczmaczmac @CardGameNomad But will the reprints even matter? They said this about prismatic and it's still getting "printed to the ground" but it's nowhere near $49.99. AH is a strong set. I think the demand will eat those reprints.

@CardGameNomad It’s absolutely hilarious seeing people say there won’t be a big reprint as well 😂😂😂 just wait till that new plant opens buddy

Reminder that Pokemon is not underprinting nor is product scarce. It's just being gobbled up by bots and wealthy investors.

@barkmeta I would say pokemon and physical collectibles are blowing up because of people who are sick of NFTs. Main reason I started buying last few years. People want something they can hold away from the screens. Lots of crypto money flowing into Pokemon/collectibles

This is insane… Pokemon card volume is going vertical right now. This is extremely bullish for NFTs… Same collectable niche. Better tech. No fakes. No shipping. When retail wakes up, the NFT market will explode overnight. Position accordingly.

@Hantao Shit I think it's closer to 10,000 eth they made.

@Hantao They made out like bandits tho. I forget the math but it's like 2000+ ETH coins collected in royalties and mint fund.

Can’t believe we bought validators under the pretence of getting rewards for them to rug validators and then rug everything How tf does the irs owe you money if you aren’t profitable?

@Hantao @JonahBlake They made thousands of ETH off their royalties from NFT worlds and gray boys, Avatars, and multiple mints they did. Master Royalty/mint farmers.

@JonahBlake From what revenue? Their node sale scam?

7 years ago I invested over $1 million into Pokémon with the deep conviction that the consumer was maturing before our eyes - aging into some very serious collecting. I also believe in 2026 that the upside in vintage (pre 2000) low pop, high grade Pokémon is truly just getting started. As collectors get more sophisticated and delve deeper into the Japanese product and other manufacturers of the 1996-1999 era, there’s a long way from traditional sports trading card values. Thank you @BusterScher for such a great platform and for your belief back in the day! #pokemon #pokemontcg #pokemoncommunity #pikachu #foryoupage

Yea, that’s been their super power so far: sucking out the liquidity from every little crack while keeping the community docile. Go to the discord and you actually have the rekt community who gave over years and life savings making up apologies for the teams failures. Real Stockholm syndrome at work. Should be a research study done on some of those people. Real material to be had for psychological research

@graildoteth @hytopia Master royalty and mint farmers.

Thanks for playing, @hytopia community. Anyone who entered this ecosystem over the past 5 years and stayed around through the three paid mints and at least three token pivots has literally lost their shit. The team has been fumbling around blind for years, trying to figure out how to build utility into multiple NFT collections around a token that never had any utility around an unfinished gaming platform that never had any users. I was once the largest holder here with 1.5M 'invested' into the NFTs. I exited with about a year and a half ago, 65% down. I still have 600 nodes I minted a year and a half ago, only to find out the team 'rugged' all utility by removing the token vesting (which was the selling point). But at least I got something out; most didn't. Sadly, most gaming communities have just been used as a human farm to extract capital from. Buying an NFT and joining a community does not make you anything but a resource. The original NFT World mint was free. The other three were not. Three token name changes, 3 pivots in 3 years, 99% of all the NFT utility from each mint replaced with diminished versions or no utility at all. Let's take away what you paid for, rename it, give you far less, and tell you it's for the good of the community and project. And instead of just releasing the tokens, no, let's find further ways to increase the supply, while restricting the NFT vesting that was paid for via mints. Sounds like a familiar strategy used by teams who rug? I'm not saying this was the classic raise money and vanish into the wind kind of scam. The team legit put the treasury into trying to build out an open gaming world. I do not dispute that. But what was built was an unfinished open-source Roblox wannabe game engine that sort of worked, but never worked enough to actually build real products on. With zero working web3 layers, which was kind of the entire original premise. From the Minecraft metaverse to a Layer 2 gaming chain to an AI-vibe-coded Roblox copycat, @hytopia has tried to do anything and everything. Alas, none of it had any chance of working. The team drew a nice living salary for five years. The community goes to the soup kitchen. It's how most of these gaming stories end up. Not the first, and by far not the last. A lot of things went wrong here, and the team kept on fumbling to build any sort of working ecosystem. Every solution they came out with required yet another NFT mint and a complete pivot. When you see a web team renege on promises and rejig tokenomics, start running for the door. Sadly, those who stuck around, minted and held assets, and trapped themselves in this dying ecosystem over the past 5 years can take comfort in knowing that their sacrifice has not been in vain. You will have helped contribute to the 1-line paragraph in the founder's new LinkedIn update. It's kind of ironic that they survived a cease and desist from Microsoft by building an NFT-powered gaming platform on Minecraft without permission, yet are closing shop because of an unpaid tax bill. Sorry, community, taxes and all. The irony writes itself. Now watch the team invariably pivot, yet again, but this time out of web3, away from their obligations, and into a new AI startup.
