@mathex_patte @Saitoryuuu Then it’s an investment, not collecting

If you genuinely believe “professional” TCG players are equivalent to professional athletes, all I ask is that you get the help that you need.

@OptcgUnc @dewdewdrops @OldTownJB “Literacy” but you think laughing at a comparison made is the same as laughing at the group of people 😂
English
@dewdewdrops @BurtonCardLot @OldTownJB I’m glad there are still people on here who have literacy and a brain 🤝
English
These people get to hang out, travel with friends, and play TCGs for a living. They make their money selling prize cards and keeping some.
If you get the 001/001 and you can sell it for $1m, you’re basically a professional athlete. Man people are braindead
Bub@bubbironipizza
@SFKTeeHanYong Does anyone competing actually keep the winner cards LMAO
English
@OptcgUnc @dewdewdrops @OldTownJB Stating a fact is belittling? Are yall that soft?
“Professional” TCG players are no where close to being equivalent to a professional athlete.
English
@BurtonCardLot @dewdewdrops @OldTownJB Literally the definition of belittling LMAO 🤣
Maybe too much sportsball CTE
English
@dewdewdrops @OldTownJB Never once belittled, just laughed at the comparison because it isn’t one.
English
@BurtonCardLot @OldTownJB im not the guy belittling professionals
goodbye gutter troll!

@dewdewdrops @OldTownJB Would love to see you make any run at any professional sport. Any single one.

@BurtonCardLot @OldTownJB would love to see you make any run at any competitive TCG. any single one

@dewdewdrops @OldTownJB Yall really need to touch grass 😂

@BurtonCardLot @OldTownJB nah you have no idea how may reps these guys do. it's not as physical but the educational labor and the mental toll are equivalent.
English
@OldTownJB Professionals make millions off the contracts, not selling the championship ring at the end of the season 😂
English
eSports, pro sports, pro TCG players = the best of the best make millions
Hate on it all you want but the reality is the world cares about competitions that aren’t just sports ball

@OldTownJB Saying a TCG tournament winner is like a pro athlete is wild 😂

@JoshReynolds24 Daily “let me make something about Embiid” tweet
English
This is crazy because last time someone campaigned for themself to win the MVP, I was told he was “begging” & “crying” for it…
The double standard EVERYONE has for Joel Embiid & the rest of the NBA is absolutely insane. Shame on everyone.
NBA Courtside@NBA__Courtside
Brian Windhorst doesn’t understand the hate Wemby is getting for campaigning for MVP: “I’m having a difficult time understanding why anybody doesn’t love this… we’re supposed to have a negative reaction to somebody who says ‘I deeply care about it?’ That’s supposed to be a character flaw? If SGA doesn’t want to publicly campaign, of course that’s fine. I’m not saying you have too but why would anybody not be engaged by somebody saying he cares?” (Via @FirstTake)

@currysafraud TONIGHTS THE NIGHT! HITTING A 3 OVER WEMBY FOR HIS 31ST POINT BOOK IT!!!

What do we call this? Finders keepers vending machine mentality? 🫠

@ChristinaJuneee @Jungcardstcg I’m pretty sure nobody pre 2018 was thinking of it, but if you don’t know then that’s just pretty dumb in my opinion
English
@Jungcardstcg @BurtonCardLot And I'm not thinking about or looking at my future selling cards when I collect. I'm focused on the now of collecting and enjoying Pokemon with others who feel the same way. The greed that has infested the hobby the past 5-6 years is problem that can't be denied.
English
He should have stayed silent those 5 years ago. I've been on/off trying to master set every English set (1st ed/Reverse set) since college. I may never achieve it now.
He caused so much damage for ACTUAL collectors & players being able to obtain cards affordably for years.
Jack@Jackkk
Logan Paul explains why he’s now collecting in silence “5 years ago I was very vocal about collecting Pokémon, then I realized something…” “If I’m vocal about something and a market spikes and I want more of it, I’ve essentially just bid against myself because now everyone’s charging 1.5-2x of what they were charging cause I told the story about it” “So now I’ve been collecting in silence because I’m well aware if I tell you I love dinosaurs and like I’ve spent $1,000,000 on dinosaurs I’m gonna have to spend $2,000,000 to get the same thing”
English
@ChristinaJuneee @Jungcardstcg But you can get it at MSRP. Most retail stores have limits. Does that 100% stop people buying more product? Obviously not but it’s available. What you see on the internet is only a fraction of the real world and people forget that. A lot.
English
@Jungcardstcg @BurtonCardLot But if almost no one can get current in rotation product for themselves or their kids unless they pay 2-3x or more MSRP from resellers, how does that help the hobby? I welcome new collectors, but not if they don't care about Pokemon & only want money then dip after the hype dies.
English
@ChristinaJuneee @Jungcardstcg But “real” collectors like you mention have a literal retirement fund because of him. I do agree what he’s saying is dumb af but theirs a flip side to him bringing flippers to hobby.
English
@Jungcardstcg I don't collect to invest. Pokemon is a game franchise to have fun with playing and collecting, but it's not a stock investment. The people coming in treating cards like investments ruined the hobby.
English
If you only collect English, then you’re only in it for the potential financial return, not for the art.

@BludRunsGreen @WholeLottaCelts Mad about gays yet you’d suck the meat off Jayson Tatum if he let you 😂😂😂

@WholeLottaCelts Nah I’m mad your father didn’t take your advice and just fuck a man instead of your mother.

I’ll never understand why a grown adult cares about the sexual preference of another grown adult.
Stop letting religion be an excuse you for you being a piece of shit
Letting a book tell you how you should feel & think is much weirder than being gay btw lmao

NEW: Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has come out in support of Jaden Ivey’s comments regarding NBA “pride nights.”

@voluntaryreboot Shoulda checked your profile before I said anything, it makes sense now that I did

Burton’s Card Lot@BurtonCardLot
@voluntaryreboot So now buying singles makes you a scalper? This hobby is INSUFFERABLE
English
@MarnieNilson14 @voluntaryreboot Id rather have them than the ones who bitch and complain non stop
English
@BurtonCardLot @voluntaryreboot Then leave the hobby. We don't want people who are only in it to make money.
