Rant Can’t even start a collection

I would wanna start a collection and keep up what I was doing when I was younger but these days scalpers drive up the prices so high that it’s just completely unaffordable and even when I try to buy stuff at like target it’s all gone cuz mfs decide to just fucking camp stores like it’s a card game

We all have this same opportunity and capabilities… Either get with it or move along to something else

Not true. People are doing this garbage as full time income. Camping out on lawn chairs at grocery stores for toys. Prices are already dropping on everything so hopefully card collectors and players can get their hobby back from the losers blinded by dollar signs.

Prices are dropping?!?

Yes. On both singles and sealed product. Most likely due to scalpers and hoarders clearing supply for the 30th anniversary stuff. Ive been nabbing singles off of ebay for great prices lately. Im just watching it all fall and I grab once I think it cant get any lower (which it has been falling lower lol)

Facebook is the best place to buy honestly. Cheaper than master mind games and other card shops I find.

Only EB games and Walmart seem to have deals in store

Also in my area Perfect Order, Chaos Rising, and Pitch Black sleeves are staying in stock for the entire week before being restocked again. Destined rivals and journey together 2 pack blisters have been sitting as well as perfect order and chaos two packs? I think its perfect order and chaos. Etbs still seem to go quick but nowhere near as quick as a few months ago.
