Trust me the price will not stop the scalpers at all. Half of them are the vendors that stock them anyways. So these will never see the light of day like the celebrations one last yearWhat do you guys think of this scenario: Charizard is popular. TPC/TPCi are fully aware of scalpers, therefore by charging a price of $120 it would discourage scalpers all while knowing this product will sell due to Charizard popularity. $120 is very pricey. It feels as that TPC/TPCi is taking advantage of the situation.
Nah dude look at what happened to the Celebration UPC price. Even while it was still being sold for 120 retail you couldn’t find it for less than 250 resale.What do you guys think of this scenario: Charizard is popular.

$250!?!?!!?! Holy smoke!Nah dude look at what happened to the Celebration UPC price. Even while it was still being sold for 120 retail you couldn’t find it for less than 250 resale.
Yeah that makes sense, I suspect vendors taking advantage of the situation.Trust me the price will not stop the scalpers at all. Half of them are the vendors that stock them anyways. So these will never see the light of day like the celebrations one last year
Yeah, they've never really sold a charizard product this expensive. Maybe this is the case!What do you guys think of this scenario: Charizard is popular.

I actually HATE the one with the downward perspective. What is happening in it? Why is Diglett there? If the ground is where tangrowth is, Is the zard flying up a cliff? Is diglett popping out at a 90 fudging degree angle to say hello when there's a big battle going on? Mewtwo looks like he is deadlifting a sack of potatoes. Absolute garbage tier framing from an otherwise amazing artist and keyframe animator. Especially so given the cost of this collection.But you can't deny that these have some fantastic artwork.
As long as charizard doesn’t take away the oppurtunity to less popular pokemon getting good looking/chasecards/competitivly good cards then I don’t mindPokémon at it again with the Charizard prints to get that money.
It's got another card showing the other perspective of the fight. It's a mewtwo alt art that that was posted here not that long ago.I actually HATE the one with the downward perspective.

People's individual tastes and preferences can align outside of the 'market'. Charizard saturation is an observable, objective fact.Yet another Charizard (and one with objectively one of the best artworks not only on a Zard, but on a pokémon card, period), and yet the same people complain about how a market works, making them look like this:

is the current tcg distribution model/the spread of Pokémon within sets is the market working?and yet the same people complain about how a market works,
the difference is we're not complaining that clouds form. We're complaining about clouds with consistently disappointing shapes and sizes. Considering that they all come out of the same weather machine, criticizing that machine is an integral part of making weather better for everyone.making them look like this:
When you know you can flip something for 500, 120 isnt a barrier. Its less than a booster box in most cases and those are common scalper targets. With 3 guaranteed charizards that have desireable artwork? Yea i expect this to be impossible to find. If that was TPCI's plan it was poorly thought out....What do you guys think of this scenario: Charizard is popular.
