I don't like Scalpers

I really hate investor bros and Scalpers.

I am usually not a negative person, but seeing people who don't even like pokemon destroy it angers me.

A few years ago when we went through this in 2021 I went to the card section at Target and a man was holding a lot of theme decks, rebel clash (stuff most people would consider undesirable. I dunno a better way to phrase it). He goes "Man, you've got to buy this stuff! It's worth so much." As he struggled to hold it.

I smiled, but couldn't help but think how stupid this guy was.

And how it was people like him ruining the hobby for everyone. That's all they see is dollar signs. There wasn't too much actually left so I didn't end up buying anything. But throughout the course of 2021 I kept seeing the same thing: people who don't actually know anything about pokemon buying cards because everyone else wanted it and they thought they could make a dollar.

I understand I am beating a dead horse. . .I know we all hate scalpers, but I really hate scalpers.

I can only hope Pokemon Company prints these sets into the ground. I don't even get excited when sets are announced because it's a reminder that guys like that one in Target are gonna ruin it for everyone.

I also cringe in YouTube videos when the dollar signs appear.

Uhhhh I am done rambling for now. Big shoutout to PJ who has helped me get a specific card in the past that I couldn't get due to scalpers. We all have to band together and help each other out!
