    TPCi Donates $200,000 to Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine

    I could not have asked for a better answer. Thank you <3 Brands are not our friends, but it is kinda nice to see TPCi thumb its nose at imperialism, or at least invite discussion on important issues. Paying into a vaguely progressive cause is great, but there are always deeper issues within...

    TPCi Donates $200,000 to Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine

    lol. Great name, btw. What's it from? The excellent and totally apolitical Neon Genesis Evangelion? Good decision TPCi.

    24 New TCG Accessories Releasing for “Time Gazer” and “Space Juggler!”

    right? not enough buzz here. No artist on the big pile of sleepy goobers though, wonder who made it?

    Roxanne Secret Rare from “Battle Region” Revealed!

    Wherever you stand on N, this is an extremely valid point. Game flow and game time are important. Formats with N are only really playable online so it's not a big deal, but at every time it was legal, it was a fudging nightmare slog.

    PTCGL Beta Opens February 22nd, Is Exclusive to Canada

    this is hilarious. I moved abroad a few years back, but I know my friends will be happy with this. How in heck is it going to work without in app purchases?

    Pokemon Announces Record-Breaking Sales in Europe During 2021 for Pokemon TCG and Toys

    This is true, but releasing an old set in tandem with new ones (i.e. within the current schedule of design to production to release) wouldn't necessarily disrupt the production flow. It could though, for sure. My point is literally that financial reasons are the only reasons that are worth...

    Pokemon Announces Record-Breaking Sales in Europe During 2021 for Pokemon TCG and Toys

    If you introduced something that actually contradicted my argument, I'd of course, take it into consideration in good faith. But you haven't, so... I can only conclude that you can't think of any material resources TPCi doesn't have access to which prevent a 1-for-1 reprint of Base Set, either...

    Pokemon Announces Record-Breaking Sales in Europe During 2021 for Pokemon TCG and Toys

    Never said they don't count. I'm just excluding them from the category of "practical reasons;" we still have ink, we still have cardstock, TPCi has the art assets that would be needed. The implied question being why they wouldn't print more of base set, if they have the materials to do so? But...

    Pokemon Announces Record-Breaking Sales in Europe During 2021 for Pokemon TCG and Toys

    I guess its lucky I've never made anything worth eternalizing ;) The main difference between tcgs and other regulated markets is that tcg companies have production monopoly and thus their markets have an imposed scarcity. There's no practical situation that stops a reprint of base set for...

    Pokemon Announces Record-Breaking Sales in Europe During 2021 for Pokemon TCG and Toys

    don't you own the right to replicate nfts, if they are images at least? I agree NFTs are a sham, but tcgs are just as, if not moreso, an artificial market, constructed with fomo in mind. I'll never stop collecting as long as there is a game to play, though. I think that's what makes the Pokémon...

    Pokemon Announces Record-Breaking Sales in Europe During 2021 for Pokemon TCG and Toys

    I'll roblox myself if official pokemon nfts are ever made. Maybe it's only a matter of time. It's already so irritatingly similar to how the secondary tcg market functions. this is probably true. Although the boom-to-bust cycle is less of a problem these days with universal accessibility being...

    eBay Launches Mandatory Card Authentication Service for Pokemon and Other TCGs

    interesting idea that depends entirely on execution.

    Logan Paul’s Dubious ‘Base Set’ Case To Be Verified This Weekend, Unlikely to Convince Collectors

    He is the kind of dude who only has a passing interest, so whatever the result of whatever (likely nonsense) grading process, he'll then open it for a video. And good, he is exactly the kind of parasite we don't need clogging up the place.

    Haxorus from ‘Start Deck 100’

    agreed we need less focus on big basics, but that's nearly always been the case. This game is becoming more like magic in that you can and should curate formats with friends to your liking. Competitive doesn't work like this, but it definitely works for cube, glc, and homebrew stuff.
