I thought you'll actually be quoting something about access to supply, trying to argue that your store has got enough of it - completely unverifiable data that goes against reports of not just "influencers", but regular store owners, but at least something of value, even if it's dubious. Instead...

I'm glad a random conversation in some random store is enough to contradict dozens of different stores and suppliers. Glad we have it on the books. Why do obvious scalpers insist that it's some kind of "grand conspiracy", when it's literally the basics of TCG investing? TPCi has previously...

Yes, TPC shares some data about how many cards they print. For the entire year, from all the sets in that year. You're thinking they're printing every set equally? Please, just actually go and ask someone who runs a local game store, or even a distributor if you have contact with them (you...

Actually, Pokemon cards in North America are printed by Millennium Print Group, which TPCi owns. In Europe, they're still printed by Carta Mundi, which is shared with a lot of other TCGs. So yes, in Europe, they could have issues with supply, as companies have to book sets at least 6 months in...

Good thing you're having fun when reading things that nobody wrote. But do try to figure out who has absolute control over how many cards get printed, including the actual facility when that printing happens. I'll wait. I'm not upset at all, because I'm not planning to buy any of it. There are...

They have massively underprinted the last Eevee-related set as well. They know what they're printing and they're not clueless. They're not worried about underprinting Shrouded Fable, because there's like 5 people who care about the DLC legends. This is not a "conspiracy", this is basics of how...

The product sold out? That's literally what underprinting is. Keep in mind they've literally bought the printing plant to avoid this.

"We’re aware that some fans are experiencing difficulties purchasing certain Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) products due to very high demand impacting availability." Cool, they are pumping their product in their own statement. "Bro, it's totally due to massive demand for our cool cards, not...

I would complain about printing another bunch of boring acceleration cards, but what the hell is Team Rocket Grunt LMAO It's not better than Misty, but it's all the annoying random gameplay of Misty that's usable in every deck.

They cannot make money on cards that are relatively common.

It is of note how cheap and simple Pokemon TCG Pocket is to run, even if it's bleeding players. There's not really any complicated gameplay, it's not really well-maintained design-wise, there's no real complex interactions that need lots of programming. You just make art - or take art from older...

Okay, after all the cards are translated, the Team Rocket cards have the exact same issue as Trainer's cards - they're allowing a specific deck to access obviously overpowered effects (here it's Guzma, always-on Lillie, Double Colored Energy, and who knows what else) at the "cost" of being...

I don't know, that Mewtwo would be good in any balanced format. Having the HP of a Stage 2, hitting for its own HP, and the only requirement to trigger it is to fill your bench with more of them. It does need to tank hits for three turns with supposedly no support, but no deck should hit for 280...

I have to say, this looks pretty hype. Which might have negative consequences for the people trying to get their hands on it. Also, if the entire set it either Rocket's Pokemon or Giovanni's Pokemon, it will be an extremely "closed" set with very few interactions outside of itself. Such is the...

That's not how supply & demand works. If you flood the market with supply to the point that it becomes impossible to buy out, then the market will crash. Of course, TPC does not want to do that. If the market crashes, it will verify the actual demand for the product, which might be much lower...
