Hi TPCI and interested parties. Collecter of 15+ years here. Remember when you could go into a store and get a pack for 2.99 or an etb for under 50? I sure do. I know a lot of you are frustrated over going to the store to get shiny pieces of cardboard and seeing nothing but empty shelves for miles then going home to look on ebay or TCG player to see things that should go for around 50 USD going for almost 4 times that. My experience in the Destined Rivals drop was abysmal to say the least. Got in the queue 5 minutes after preorders for the PC ETB was released and waited about 30 minutes. got to around 35k in the queue and got kicked becuase "you are a bot". got back in the queue and there were almost 3 million users ahead of me. I get that a lot of people like pokemon but there is zero way that over 3 million people were on the pokemon center website at 11:30 AM on a monday. Another story I experienced was I went to my local target and watched a kid jubiant that 3 journey together etbs and a bunch of shrouded fable product was there. less than a minute later, a dude in their late 30s came by the aisle and pushed the kid out of the way and started swiping everything into a carry basket and proceed to buy everything at self checkout, despite the clearly defined 2 per person limit. The kid burst into tears over how they had been treated. This behavior needs to stop and the only way we can do that is make TPCI hear our voice. Add captchas, make the address for a pokemon center account be a drop down select box, lock all product in stores behind a service desk, cut distros who withold product to resell for profit or take bribes to release restock info (MJ holdings, I am looking at you). This is a call to action, hold TPCI and your local stores, big box and LGS alike, accountable to make the creatures who were so dear to the entire generation of adults and kids affordable again. This is in your best interest TPCI as you are already losing thousands of collectors, fans, and content creators to appeal to some greasy slimeball who lives in their mom's basement. You tried repremanding and printing into the ground but those are only a bandaid fix. This has gone on for far too long and drastic actions need to be taken, such as temporary or permanent blacklisting of scalpers from ever buying your products again. We WANT to give you our money but we can't becuase of these POS. Please make some changes.
Blake, supported: Make Collectible Pokemon Cards More Accessible and Limit Supply to ScalpersI started collecting again 5 months ago. Opening packs and getting all these cool cards makes me happy but I feel upset seeing all these new sets bought out and resold on eBay months before they even come out
Zach, supported: Make Collectible Pokemon Cards More Accessible and Limit Supply to ScalpersI got back into the hobby because of my son and his love for Pokémon. This made me so happy because it was something I could share with him as a bonding experience. He has no clue, but ultimately, everything will be his when I feel the time is right. Unfortunately, Pokémon cards have become harder to come by, and my son doesn't understand. It breaks my heart because I can't afford these ridiculous scalper prices. Take this video from TbellCardHouse on TikTok, for example, to explain my frustrations. I can't even get a single box while this piece of crap has a wall of them. Video link below for reference.
