Same basic concept, someone who buys up as much of a limited, high demand item as possible and resells it at significant markup.

What does ‘scalper’ mean in this context? I only know what it means for event tickets

There’s a big problem of scalpers buying collectable cards and re-selling them for ridiculous prices. It’s especially a problem for Pokemon TCG since that has a massive kid audience who are being unfairly shut out.

Nintendo are the real bastards here, trading cards are gambling for children. Every “rare” card costs 10 yen to print but are kept artificially scarce to boost corporate profits at the expense of child gambling.

I’ve never understood why card gamers don’t like proxies. Now everyone can play.

I’ve never understood TCGs when games that don’t rely on gambling exist and are really fun.

Me and my buddies play a lot of magic.
We only use proxies, while sticking to all the other rules. $0!
