I am sure with more time these could be made to look better but this is one I just did in like 2 mins.

Obviously there are quite a few things that could be changed - maybe even have a site where the user designs their own card and then the person could create the card and ship it to the user?

and sorry Owlcatz for picking on you but I like Snoopy Smiley

what was everyone paying for these?

I paid 30$ for 1 card.

I wonder how hard/easy it would be to make these. I have cases of GX/EX cards that are all extras.

I am thinking could print these and have them glued to the pokemon cards? or print them on labels that fit the card or larger than the card and trim them?

also for images - use actual pokemon? or allow users to submit a picture to be used?

The stats part would be easy - just pull their stats at time of card creation. the bottom right field could be allowed for user to put whatever they want.

and how much work would it be to put these as a ERC token? so that there is an onchain ownership as well? (kinda gotta do this with it being crypto related)

what was everyone paying for these?

Don't forget the last card in the set.




hahahaha thx TeeGumes, good one.



I still can't believe he (talented) could not afford to send the 3 cards ordered and paid, what is the price of a stamp in Ukrainia. Silly.

I think it was just a screw up, he earnt alot merit while he was here which is worth more then just walking away, he got attention and had potential for a market.  The worth is in the artwork, its not like he robbed fort knox.    All he has to do is work through the backlog and repay the debt basically which is mostly a case of can you be bothered to do it or not.   Do that and in two years people would be trading with him, he can easily just send it in advance to trusted members of the forum and then collect payment and get +1 for the deal and then you are back.  I dont agree that a mistake can never be taken back and really dont think it was a pre planned scam like operation.
Dont think we will see Basorexia ever again:

People can get busy or just unable to log on especially with schedules disrupted recently.   Obviously not ok when people are waiting but I'd rather they came back and finish what they started when able and I do think thats worth doing in the long term.

Thats the real waste yea and the bigger mistake.

Most regulars around here would agree with you for the most part I think. I do.  Here’s the problem, paying some people back (not sure why some were chosen over others) then going MIA. Would respect them a whole lot more if they set out a plan of some sort. Giving up and likely to never return is basically as bad as if they openly scammed everyone.

maybe someone else will come along (that can be trusted) and make them - next time though dont pay until they are shipping lol or use an escrow!

Just take a look at the pinned scam thread Krogo and I have been building up for a few years now, any of us that have been around for a bit know better but it was just a few bucks ( well for those w/just a card ) so we got lazy.

Like others stated, coulda made some nice spare change doing this, could have really evolved..I’ll never understand the quick cash grab that ruins what would/could have been a nice long term deal.

maybe he should make a list of all who paid him, and show the transactions of refunds as he makes them - so that all who paid for something they did not get, can see that some progress is being made.

Yeah I was half kidding just wanted to make sure that prick wasnt scamming anyone else.  I will forever hate pokeman cards now  Cheesy

Same here, the silly thing is the dude has made my card, saw the ytube vid of it. Can not afford a stamp, what a pity.

Yeah, I really don't get it, they made mine as well as I saw a youtube video.  They could have had a nice little hobby business here.

Pity he's a scammer... I supported he's first cards and just paid him "to much" to create some cards for some WO-members.... instant regret....
He delivered, but I honestly wouldn't supported him if I would know a scammer came out of him.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Basorexia didn't opt to redo (if needed) the cards and ship 'em instead of refunding everyone? I mean, shouldn't that be cheaper for him?

If this really were a scam... it would be one of the weirdest and most illogical ones, ever.

No, everyone is thinking a lot of things.  Maybe he was the scammer, maybe he did have a partner, who the hell knows really.  The thing that makes this situation different is they didnt just up and take off and leave everyone completely high and dry.  We've seen countless people do that over the years, so it's refreshing to see someone actually taking some steps to making this right.  Personally I asked for a lot in my digital card and they delivered, to me it was pretty much worth what I paid for it, though of course a physical card would have been nice.  All we can do now is give the guy a little time to prove himself .
