12:00 no wayy.. thats me 😭 dude im so honored! Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤
Roc is everywhere i am 😭
Thank you for being awesome!
I know there is multiple of people out there wanting CGC to go down. However I urge people to think about it. PSA is already 80%+ of the total grading market. If CGC which is the second largest grading company goes under, PSA will have complete monopoly and control over trading card game grading. Ultimately they can turn up prices, change their grading standards, pay their employees less and more as a result. It benefits nobody to hand the entire hobby over to just PSA.
As much as I dislike it, AI grading with TAG and Arena Club is getting more popular, slowly. People only go to Beckett if they think they have a shot at a BL 10. All others besides those mentioned and PSA/CGC are still small time
I agree I hope cgc stays relevant because I have a local shop that does a good deal for CGC grading deals for me to send. I even done a video on prismatic prices
CGC has only graded tcg since PSA closed their doors in 2021. SGC has been around much longer and has a foot hold in other markets. Stop trying to excuse CGCs multiple blunders just because 20% of the market put their blind faith into it.
True take a look at google. They are the monopoly for search engines. As a monopoly, they don't give a shit about good customer services at all.
Criminally early. Goated creator.
This is exactly why you don't use CGC or PSA. Don't know wtf they are doing. Put fake cards in slabs. No this is not the first time. Put cards in upsidedown or backwards. They have people fingering and grease pawing the cards with their bare hands and grade the cards with their eyes. They miss damage all the time and give flawed cards 10s which devalues all the other 10s. You have people submitting bulk and they just don't give AF and just put stacks of cards in as 8s and push them threw the system. Save yourself time and money and use BGS like a normal and stop sending in bulk. You are making them charge more by overloading their systems.
I absolutely hate how the hobby has become this stupid investment opportunity by everyone, making cards impossible to get, ruining the hobby. How is a 12 year old supposed to fall in love with pokemon when you can't save up your allowance, walk to their store and buy some cards. It's truly sad and I hope pokemon takes their head out of their ass and start making it accessible again
Plenty of “trash” available why would kids care about which set? You could literally give them any of the previous sets that none of you bought. Or the trainer cards that y’all don’t know because yall don’t play the game and they do. This is Pokemon classics channel. A vintage channel. We know who’s watching here.
I've been subscribed for a while, but felt like I needed to tell you how much I enjoy your content. You're always one channel that I get excited about when I see new content get uploaded. Keep up the good work man! You rock!
Auction Houses don't realize there are laws in place that dictate responsibilities for the inadvertent selling of fakes and counterfeits, regardless who certified them. I think the ones offering refunds know this already, the ones saying talk to CGC probably don't realize they're still technically liable.
I think the hype will die down eventually but I don’t think it will end until a few months after the 30th anniversary.
Roc Sandy is wise beyond his years. The mix of humor and input does make commentary videos to watch.
Pokemon center should be able to limit purchases to addresses. Would make it much harder for people to buy in bulk
Once there’s little money to be made scalping and flipping, there will be product on store shelves like 2022-2024.
Whether that means printing to the ground or tweaking the pull rates.. or both (like crown zenith)
Yea. No way they care about the second hand market. They should keep printing cause they'll make insane money right now. They should also increase pull rates slowly so no one notices for a bit untill scalpers have devalued products
By law, seller is responsible. Meaning if a sold to b and b sold to c. B is responsible to c and a is responsible to b.
Thank you for all the effort you put into this. Yes, seeing Scott again was really great. I've missed him.
Thank you as always for the highly educational videos ❤ you are amazing 👏
Hey, I have been a lurker lol. I appreciate the content!
Singles will plummet none of these cards are gonna be over 200 by the end of the year. There is to many packs and cards being printed. It will be just like shining fates. One 100+$ card. Everything else 20 or less. But the sealed product will stay high but not crazy high due to the mass amount of them that will be available.
Great video! I didn’t know Pokémon cards were back at McDonald’s!
Another banger! Thanks Pokémon Classics!
People with all these forging skills don't know about yellow ink tracking lol
4:50 that was in Canada
One of the best PokeTubers without a doubt
Did goldin say anything? I spent $7500 on a beta moltres when they first went up and haven't corresponded with anyone from goldin
SM PRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Enjoyed it Classics 🍻
So you are saying 2025 will be a bigger year for Pokémon than 1999 ?
Yes in many ways it already is. There's wasn't prices for singles like this back in 1999 the demand might be similar but prices now far outweigh 25 years ago
The new queuing system is shit. I got all the way through paypal, and couldn't purchase it since pokemon center doesn't have the inventory in the cart anymore.
No dont print more cards, stop the scalping! 1 product per person per store.
Still not able to buy from Pokemon Center in Europe anyway is my fact :) and my opinion is it is not fun.
Flyingmaster!
I’m so early! ❤
