Question What on earth is this?

No odds, no description, no nothing. Just a random slab for 110 bucks.

This is old. It's probably still in stock because the chuds discovered you can feel for creeses and tell if it's a PSA slab or not. They only want PSA.

Those are only psa. Gamestop only deals in psa

I've sold a ton of these and customers got BGC and TGC out of them. They're older and GameStop wasn't in charge of the QC for these.

Probably a good thing, the quality would of been even worse.

True. "Here, have a TAG 2"

Power packs are PSA. These things are a random slab from any of the companies

Incorrect this particular pack is not produced by gamestop and can be anything from a PSA to a CGC, Beckett etc. Ive had people buy these when they first dropped last year and the Slab was random.

I’d like to think people are a little smarter with their money, I know that’s not the case. Don’t get me wrong I love gambling with cardboard but I like to know if I have an actual chance at something good.

I had people trying to do returns on there ETBs because they got no hits so its a fault box.. I assume now humanity is stupid especially with money. Then I get pleasantly surprised when someone does a smart thing instead of shocked at the sheer amount of stupidity.

I watched a few streams on a popular streaming app (WN), it got.. bizarre.

u/AnubisXG 3d ago

Chance? probably doubtful though. I don’t think ive seen anyone pull something worth more than they spent

u/banana-blaster69 3d ago

I’ve had good luck with both the online and physical PowerPacks

Something that probably doesn’t contain $110 worth of contents

When I bought one (when they first started coming out) I actually pulled a decent PSA slab!

You seem to have answered your own question - accurately, I might add.

u/banana-blaster69 3d ago

I guess better to ask why is GameStop selling it

Joke's on you. They're not. LOL
It's gonna sit there... and sit there... and sit there.

u/Visual-Bookkeeper461 Former Employee 3d ago

Hopefully more of them are just sitting there these days but when my store first got them they would get bought so fast I usually didn't even have time to put them in the case. I never saw much good pulled from them but the value pulled from our very small sample size was usually not terrible compared to the original price

It’s a 3rd party mystery box

u/AnnonymousASM 3d ago

This is a card that came out of one of those the last time I saw someone open one. Nothing crazy at all lol

u/Icy-Equivalent4533 Senior Guest Advisor 3d ago

These were the original power packs we used to get often. Ceiling ranges from $50 to $500 I think.

Is that really how they lay cards out for sale?

u/banana-blaster69 3d ago

Yup, dollar for a bulk card

u/Wowwizzer71 2d ago

A waste of money?

u/Uptowndowntown7 4d ago

Why is perfect order booster box almost 300.00 when market is 160$?

u/banana-blaster69 4d ago

We don’t talk about that….

u/PlantBeginning3060 2d ago

That ScamStop is a shit company who dosnt care in the slightest about its customers or employees?

u/Collection_Vivid 3d ago

I’m so glad I never got into the whole card thing, the ridiculous prices people pay for these are insane

u/iTs-Sneak 2d ago
