Amazing rare Yveltal is one of my favorite cards ever. The art is great and I think it's funny that it just kills anything without any extra conditions.
The amazing rares prices kinda of remind me of stocks. The value goes down and everybody sells, and out of no where the value goes up. It just be like that sometimes. Amazing video, very informative
this video made me nostalgic for when you used to upload tcgo games NEVER forget what tcgL took from us haha (Also I cant believe there are 3 full art skylas some has a favourite trainer clearly lol)
well scalpers and influencers do stuff like this all the time :D i ygo history for example there was once a rumor (backed by several american top players and shared in forums) that we will get a new rule that the starting Lifepoints will be increased to 12k i belive it was. So suddenly Ancient Leaf a common card which nobody played from an old set was THE BEST CARD EVAAAAR "If you have 9000 or more Life Points, you can pay 2000 Life Points to draw 2 cards." and it got so hyped that this card went WAY over 100 Dollars and more... well.. it was all just a scam to make people rich xD
technically Amazing Rayquaza has a cap of 8 x 80 = 640 (+80 in expanded) still absurd high damage but it's a cap. it feels like almost every last set of a block/year work too good with later sets
This video just highlights the utter insanity that was ruining the game at the time. It was awful being a Pokemon fan at that time. I can't tell you how many stores I would walk into and the shelves would be empty or just nothing but starter decks. Target, Walmart, even dedicated card shops either sold out immediately, or were selling sealed products at obscene mark ups. I remember $100 ETBs, $80 3 pack blisters! Madness! I remember some stores stopped selling the cards because of the crazy people who would FOLLOW THE TRUCKS FROM STORE TO STORE! Businesses started feeling like the customers brought in for the cards weren't worth it because they never bought anything else and usually trashed the stores in the process! I regularly would see my local Target's card game section just trashed! The display boxes torn to pieces, wrappers on the floor! I even remember an incident in the news about a guy in the American midwest who was held up at gunpoint in a Target parking lot FOR THE POKEMON CARDS HE BOUGHT! Remember the McDonald's Halloween cards? Remember the human trash who would go buy ALL the happy meals at a store, throw the food away, and then resell the cards? And the side effect of that being that basically no ACTUAL CHILDREN got those cards!!!
What's worse that youtube promotes this type of behavior with their shite algorithm. I'm getting in playing the tcg and was looking for videos about it. And YT was like "nooooo, let me show you these stupid-faced scalpers' unboxing videos instead"
The unboxing videos are so popular it dwarfs gameplay stuff unfortunately so yt loves to push it more! Wish it would show a bit more love to the tcg videos too 🤣😭
