I think the saddest thing about Pokemon card mania is that scalpers are essentially the team rocket of the real world and they won

yep til the market dies out and they are stuck with a bunch of supply and no demand.

yea I know someone running a successful business who pays folks to open their existing inventory on steam; they don’t even keep the cards 

the ways to monetize it atm is nuts

I think the market has proven that there are very few of them who will end up in this boat because they sell to cover costs + inventory right away

Not to mention if/when they have cracking streams/sales on the side for dead inventory

M00n is right, Team Rocket has won

And it's not just Pokémon cards
