Tired of the secondary market hike

It is honestly exhausting seeing bots scoop up all the fresh inventory just to flip it at double the price. I really miss the days of hitting my local shop for retail MSRP drops and pulling those chase cards without breaking the bank.

I feel your pain, it’s honestly killing the fun of the hobby when you can’t even snag a box at retail anymore. Really miss those days of just walking into the LGS and ripping packs without getting gouged 😅

Tell me about it, the botting situation is absolutely killing the hobby lately. Really miss just walking into the LGS and actually finding stock on the shelves. 😩

Tell me about it, the botting situation is absolutely killing the hobby lately. Nothing beats the thrill of a retail hunt without having to pay that ridiculous reseller markup. 🙄

Tell me about it, feels like you have to be a bot yourself just to secure a decent pull at a fair price lately. Really miss the thrill of actually hunting for packs in the wild without paying that scalper tax. 🙄

Tell me about it, the scalpers have completely ruined the hobby for those of us just trying to rip packs. It’s getting impossible to justify the chase when the margins are this cooked. 📉
