The irony is that the people calling this guy a scalper, bringing up Avery, and saying they’re “disgusted” by his post are doing the exact same thing Lord Charizard ACTUALLY did: posting about the card. He never said, “I’m gonna buy a bunch of these and flip them!” He said it’s going up in price and that the card will be forever remembered. Even the community note is wrong. "Full Context: This person and other Pokémon scalpers are artificially increasing the price of this card in order to profit off of the death of a 12-year-old with cancer." Really? From this post you gathered that Lord Charizard is aRtIfiCiaLlY iNfLatiNg the card? And is profiting from it? So you've seen him buy up 100's of cards and then sell them for more? smh y'all. You guys spend the energy on the wrong people and the wrong things. This card is naturally going to go up in price after the horrible news of Avery’s passing, mostly because YOU are posting about some dude posting about it. Good job, you're part of the problem you are getting angry at. Unless you truly believe this guy is a scalper, in that case then its you formulating judgement based on no facts, only other people's posts ABOUT the original post. People are talking about it nonstop, it’s a beautiful card, there are flippers involved, but there are also normal collectors thinking, “I really love this card, and now that everyone is talking about it, I should probably buy one before it gets to a price I can’t justify.” Now multiply that thought by thousands of people. This happens all the time. Don't accuse people of things without knowing facts. You're just piling onto what others are saying.
