WEISS SCHWARZ GRADED CARDS - To the Moon? Be Careful ! A Tale of Cardboard Pyramid Schemes

There is no collector or player out there that would NOT be happy to see their cards go up in value. Myself included. But do we ever consider the people that get roped in by "promises" of "guaranteed" profits by these stonks investors that plagued Pokémon and other TCGs. What about the people who can't afford to lose? There's always winners when there's speculation but we also want to look out for people who see these collectibles as a way of bettering their lives and spending more than they can afford because everyone tells them it can only go up to the moon. ( SIDENOTE : This is mainly for entertainment and to be informative for those who don't know much much about the nuances of the hobby. I get it, everyones trying to "hustle" and make money. I just really dislike the super inflated prices based just on the fact that they bought it all out purely to jack up the prices and grade them. As well as doing unethical things like selling dead booster boxes after mapping it out and taking advantage of those who dont know weiss can be mapped ) Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro 0:48 Who are we talking about ? 1:02 Exhibit 1 1:31 Exhibit 2 3:05 Exhibit 3 4:27 Whats the problem here ?
