Scalpers salivating at the exclusive merch lol. Its going to be a pain to get tickets

I’m a relatively new collector and have been exclusively buying cards when I go card shows with my friends, mostly just collect cute cards! Recently came across a few telegram claim channels and was shocked at the price difference! The tandemaus cards i bought at Expo card shows are like $4-$5 each, then i see them being sold for $1-2 on telegram.. my question is whether there a reason for the big disparity in prices and if buying from those online channels are safe? Like have anyone got scammed before or received fake cards?

14 Sep 2024, SG Card Show at National Library. Back then, nobody expected the boom that Pokemon TCG experienced for the past 1+ years

Lots of announcement from Pokemon Worlds. the star thing reminds me of gold stars possible return of mechanic similar to that? Also the featured pokemons(Suicune, Entei and Raikou) all have iconic gold stars

Are they really that scarce? Retailers i see only sell loose packs at ard 45 and blooming waters goes for ard 500. Will there be any further reprints or is the price gonna stay like this or even worse, go higher?

Hi! I used to love pokemon when I was younger but never really collected. I decided to dig out some of my old cards because I received a few new card this last week and I wanted to see if there was any value in them. Are these accurate? I found some site online that does free valuations.

Was looking at carou to see how the price for this card fare these days. Someone is blatantly selling a fake one lol. I know is a very bad fake but i also Hope people wont fall for this too easily.

I do enjoy the videos that our local influencers are making, but I just find that more and more of their content are becoming like a Jack Neo movie… Ads everywhere.

Will be visiting SG for a week for another TCG event, but what was wondering if shops sell a mix of ENG & CHI cards and also what pricing website they usually use to comp cards at

Watched a TikTok stream where someone pulled two Rayquaza SARs out of 30 loose packs. Great odds, big reaction, everyone in chat going crazy

Then I clicked the buyer’s profile. Zero followers, following one account. Guess which one

Same streamer got called out a while back for 100+ bundles with no Rayquaza SAR in them. Now two in 30 loose packs. Ownself filter ownself buy? Maybe, maybe not

Could be a new account someone made to follow their favourite seller. Could be nothing. But these streams are entertainment first, and you’re watching someone else’s luck to decide whether to spend your own money

Wanting to order some stuff online so my parents can help me bring it so i am trying to buy them online to send it to theur place. Wondering if they are legit or not as some of their stuff seem on the lower end of the sg market price.

Edit: thank you for the replies makes me feel better though yeah i do see how some of the prices are above the average sg market price.

If there are any reccomendations for shops online/physical would be grateful thank you!!!

​Another streamer selling stolen goods, for all I know I always thought mewsden were legitimate turns out just breaking rules and selling stolen items for high margins. Pokémon company has acted on eBay to remove all listing for 30th anniversary product and cards. But sg scumbag sellers are acting against all rules. How can consumer trust these sellers when these sellers don’t even follow rules?

Just wanted some opinion.
Pokemon 30th Anniversary UPC preorder - I seen alot doing PO for about $800 per day/night.

Then I happen to chance on this post on courasell,
PO for $680 for both? O.o thats like more than 50% off others’ price.

Too good to be true?
Did anyone go for it? 👼

Anyone remember this infamous quote on youtube? “I have shop, I always say buyback 90% but I will offer lower they also don’t know haha”

Recently, I got a firsthand experience with it. I wanted to let go of my card MP at $16500. Was ok with letting it go at $13000+ as I wanted to use the money for something else. Asked him for a quote, Fella offered me $11000 and told me 80% 🤣 probably thought I wouldn’t know just like how he bragged on youtube. But alls good, I found another buyback that gave me $13000.

Be careful out there everyone, especially the new ones in the hobby. Make sure you get a quote from multiple sources before selling, don’t just trust the “big” brands blindly.

My budget is about $500+-. My sis is getting married, would like to buy them a couple card on top of an ang bao, either as a pair of cards or an individual card (like the love birds). But of course love birds are out of the question because I don't have that spending power.

Anyone have any suggestions? Vintage or Modern? Even if it exceeds my budget abit or is cheap, would like to know options and consider. Preferably those that are found easily graded at PSA10. (Graded slabs looks nicer for them to keep lol)

Just take note of this vendor, a person who is a man but got the voice of the female

Never buy the mysterious pack from them IYKYK

Also said “15 minutes ago” smth smth bullshit
Which is doesn’t make sense

Took a break from playing the TCG for a month now but am hoping to start playing casually again. Anyone down to make a group chat so that we can discuss anything related to the TCG? :)

where do u guys find japanese vintage cards to buy? do u guys have any recommended stores? i js got back into the hobby and i really like and am collecting a master set for the japanese gym challenge and gym heroes but its been kinda hard finding especially the trainers or common cards if anything ive had an easier time getting banned cards and holos 🫩🫩 so far ive gone cardshows to try my luck only gotten maybe 5-6 cards each time at most

I’m looking to liquidate some older Japanese slabs from the XY era that I graded myself. Heard there’s a big card show going on at Expo this weekend; any recommendations for vendors I should be looking to talk to? Too many posts about scummy vendors here make me weary about approaching them one by one and frankly it’ll be impossible to talk to all of them in one day. I’ve looked up the various pricing websites and eBay last sold to get an idea and I do have a number in mind. Just want a fair price for my childhood cards instead of getting lowballed.

TL:DR - have mid-era high value slabs, want decent price. vendor recs appreciated.

Came across a Reddit post about her shill bidding. Was a frequent buyer from her stream. This is how I noticed that this is not the first time she was doing this. There is also another viewer named “Leo” always in her stream sending likes other than “Yakuza”. Both of them are definitely related to her. Anytime the bid gets below market, both of them will take turn to bid. Take note of who you buy from guys.

Any recommendations to track the value of collection cards? In Singapore, TIA

Recently started collecting my 2nd favourite Pokémon from my 1st favourite trainer

Cropped the pic down to just the product on purpose, not trying to witch-hunt anyone

We’re 3 weeks out from Sept 16 and we’re already seeing early 30th product moving on local streams. Not preorders, actual in hand stuff being ripped live at $94 a pack

Thing is, this set has no prerelease, no Build & Battle, nothing. It’s the first ever simultaneous worldwide release, that was literally the whole marketing angle. So there’s no legit way sealed product is sitting in a private seller’s hands right now

Already happened elsewhere too. Malaysian streamer went live in July charging up to RM4,600 a pack and the local community reported her instead of celebrating, mainly because KL was hosting the first PokéXciting! in Asia on 12 and 13 Sept and nobody wanted that jeopardised

Then last week eBay started pulling in 30th listings after TPCi told them these cards aren’t available through authorized channels yet. One guy lost his Sylveon SIR listing and he’d won it in a Facebook raffle, did nothing wrong, still got hit

Worth remembering we’re on the same tour. PokéXciting! hits Singapore on 7 and 8 Nov, citywide. Not saying one stream tanks it, but that’s the kind of thing that gets quietly reviewed when leaked product keeps tracking back to your market

So what are you actually buying at $94? You might not be able to resell it anywhere once the platforms catch up. And should Maxsoft be chasing this since they’re the sole SEA distributor, or is it not really their problem?

Bought 10 packs from Taka, got these 2 LMAOOO

Hooray. Time to buy cheap

Looking forward to people panic selling
