I go to the Pokemon League and a local Card Shop to play in tournaments and trade. I am looking for cards to complete my collection, and I just dont care about prices. I like even, fair trades (Holo for Holo, etc...). When I started to pursue conquest for a Kangaskhan, I was giving up cards in equal playing value as that (Snorlax for one). Instead, you get theses little brats, that want somethign the same price as that. So, they started asking for my Alakazam (in thier little magazine they had, Kanga was worth $20). Of course I said no, and then they went, proud of them little selves they didnt get ripped off. I may be straying from the topic, but why in god's name would someone want 4 Blastoise (one of THE Best cards) for a simple little old Charizard. If I ahd the Charizard, I would say 1 Blastoise, straight up. I know the prices are based on rarity ( and Charizard is supposedly rare, considering my friend bought 10 packs and got 3 of em), why not rank the price on how good !
the card is and make those the rarer ones. Charizard just plain sux, and hes worth some $200 dollars. Im done with my rambling, but I had to say this. Peace out.
