You'd get a better response posting this on the soccer board
Why you say that? I'm just trying to help people learn about Pokemon and to find good deals...It's the first website I ever built so I am just trying to find people to test it or to help improve it... I don't have much money and can't afford to just have someone build something for me or pay for crazy advertising.. I have to start somewhere..

You seem like exactly the kind of person I’d like to get some honest feedback from since you’re actually involved in both the playing and collecting side of Pokémon.
I’m working on a Pokémon website/tool and I’d genuinely like to let you look through it and tell me what you think is useful, what’s missing, and what you’d change. I’m still trying to improve it, so I’d rather hear from somebody who actually knows the hobby than just guess at what people want.
I don’t know if there’s a way to private message on here, but if you’re comfortable with it, is there a way I can contact you outside of TD? No sales pitch or anything like that. I’d just really appreciate your opinion on what I’m building. :cheers:

I play with my son - my son is running a deck right now that we are taking to a Regional this weekend. In his deck I have him running a $250 card, a $190 card, a $150 card, and about 9-10 cards that are worth anywhere from $50 to $80. The other kid's jaws just drop when my son pulls out his deck, the other parents are like "why are you letting your son play with those cards?!?!"
It's a card game, it's meant to be enjoyed, what is the point if you aren't enjoying them and just keeping them locked in a case?!
My son pulls chase cards like they are going out of style, he just pulled the SIR Magicarp last week from his prize pack he won at a local tournament.
That’s actually pretty much the perspective I’m looking for. You and your son are way deeper into the hobby than I am, especially on the actual playing side of it.
What I’m working on isn’t really about locking cards away and treating everything like an investment. I’m trying to build something that helps people understand the hobby better, figure out what they’re looking at, find decent deals, learn why certain cards/sets have value, and eventually tie more of the collecting and playing side together.
If you wouldn’t mind, I’d really like for you to take a look at the site sometime and tell me what you think is useful, what’s pointless, and what you’d add or change. I’d rather have somebody who actually plays and collects tear it apart a little than build it based on what I think people want

I'm into sports cards. Both markets are on fire right now.
Just for the love of god do not be the grown man waiting in Walmart or Target for them to put the stuff out on the shelves.
Yeah i can't stand that either..Let the kids get it! It is cause they can flip it for twice the amount for it.. Thats another reason i created this website and will hopefully get it to be a antiscalper website...
quote:
No. But I bought a 30th mini booster pack and tin from Best buy just for the hell of it cause they had them in stock and were limiting them to 1 per person cause of scalpers. So what the heck.
I did get one of the valuable cards. An EX Mewtwo. No idea what I'm going to do with them
Sell it on Ebay.. Or hold onto it for possible more value in a few years..

This is just gambling. Huge bubble use your mind for something else. Good to have a hobby with your kids but don’t make everything monetary
I get what you’re saying, but I think there’s a little more to it than just gambling or trying to turn a hobby into money.
There’s a pretty established collector market behind Pokémon, just like sports cards, comics, coins, watches, or even classic cars. A lot of the fun for me is learning the market, understanding why certain cards or sets are desirable, spotting fakes, tracking supply and demand, and trying to make smart buys instead of just blindly opening packs hoping to hit something.
Can people gamble on it and lose money? Absolutely. But buying collectibles carefully and learning what holds value is a lot different than throwing money at random packs.
For me the monetary side doesn’t replace the hobby. It actually gives me another part of the hobby to learn and enjoy, especially if I can teach my kids about collecting, value, patience, and not overpaying for something just because it’s popular.
Yeah i just pulled some from 30th celebration and the 2 cards i pulled are going for 200 dollars a piece..

No, but I'm not a nerd.

Is anyone here into Pokémon Trading/Selling?
Posted by Coinella on 10/5/26 at 12:26 pm
Anybody on here into collecting, buying, selling, or trading Pokémon cards?
I’ve gotten more into the hobby lately due to my kids and have been learning more about which cards and sealed products are worth watching, what people look for when buying, and how collectors decide what’s actually a good deal.
I’m also working on a small website/tool around the hobby and would eventually like to get some feedback from people who are actually into Pokémon collecting.
Just curious if there are many people here into it, and if the OT Lounge is the right place to ask about this kind of stuff. :cheers:

Okay so go ahead and now vote Democrat who will DO NOTHING YOU WANT!! I swear these people that are trying to complain about Trump are really doing everyone a disservice by literally leading people that normally would vote Republican to start to second guess it, which in turns will only hurt all of us in the long run if Dems get the house/senate.... Makes no sense...

I live in West Monroe... I think all this is dumb... They obviously are holding him for a reason... People just want their 15 mins of fame...I'm glad ICE is cleaning up our area! I hope they bust every employer hiring illegals...! THEY ALL NEED TO GO

The book already does that for you. That's how they get their number. You think you know more than them?
Books are sharp, no doubt. But if their first number was always perfect, lines wouldn’t move and closing line value wouldn’t be a thing. I’m not trying to beat every number. I’m trying to find the few they may have hung a little light and pass on the rest.

I have 1 that comes up with a point spread using penalties, line, turnovers and point differential. Most of the time it's close. If I see a 4pt difference I look into that game. If it's spot on I might not touch it. It works some years 60% and others it will be around 50%.
I bet mostly underdogs. I really would like to have a rating on every player so I could use injuries but I don't know of a website that rates Olineman and Dlineman, LB and secondary
That’s basically the kind of direction I’m going with mine too. I don’t think a model is ever going to be perfect, but if it can find where the line looks off and also tell you when not to touch a game, that’s valuable. The injury part is tough because everyone knows QB matters, but OL, DL, LB and secondary injuries can swing a game too and most people don’t really price that in right. I’m trying to build mine where player impact actually affects the projected spread, not just shows up as a note.

Yeah, that was more in response to the guy who said the books will limit you. I don’t think they will limit you for winning mainline bets, maybe player props and the like.
Good to know! Thanks

don't listen to that doofus.
The worst they will do is start limiting your max bet and not giving you promos. if you're getting kicked off gambling sites, then you would have to be seriously fleecing them, as in for hundreds of thousands of dollars and more.
I'm not one of those big winners, but i know a guy who continuously is profiting 10's of thousands of dollars each year the last few years, and he hasn't even been limited much less kicked off the site
Well thats good to know...Not saying my model will do that good but I sure hope it does given all the work I been doing on it..

What’s interesting is, I don’t ever recall seeing a Dem/Marxist nominated judge that swings to the right.
But damn, it seems like half our Republican judges swing left after being appointed to SCOTUS.
Not just judges... Every Democrat in the Senate and House 99 percent of time always votes the same... They are locked step in destroying America but republicans fold when it comes to saving America... What can we do...? Yeah we vote them out but they do the exact same thing no matter who we vote into office... Its Crazy!!
