Ascended Heroes ETBs are skyrocketing in value, hasn't even been a month yet and market price is already $130. It doesn't make sense to rip it open anymore, just sell it and buy the singles you want. Or keep holding because it will become a $500 ETB in the next 3-4 years like what's happened to Evolving Skies, except with better pull rates, Pikachu and god packs.

I might start collecting "Pokémon products because I have to uphold to cult personality types on a random basket weaving anime forum" again. I stopped because I became less interested as the deal ran out and my personal stock got higher and higher. but since I know enough about the TCG set lists and promo products, I feel like I should start buying out cheap promo cards and just grade them myself later down the road when all of a sudden they might be worth more than I initially paid for. Decisions decisions.

Possibly. There's so much product out there, that it's impossible a modern set would hold value like vintage when the pop eventually comes. Definitely a strong argument that it's mostly scalpers selling to scalpers, and once the ball starts rolling sealed will be a race to the bottom.

On the other hand, all the streaming pack openings and similar decreases supply in a way you didn't see in, say, Beanie Babies or 90s Comics.

I wouldn't be holding sealed for 10+ years, but if you can buy at $60 and sell six months later at $120, that's just good business. And is exactly the mindset that can cause a bubble.

I think it's less a bubble, more akin to pre-emptive pumping. Basically modern is speedrunning the price change. It's not actually going to appreciate further than any vintage. It's just reaching high prices way earlier. People know it will go past MSRP sooner or later, so they pre-emptively grab what they can and it goes to being a rare set straight away.

Evolving Skies is what, $3k for one of the most valued modern sets?? Shit is nowhere near base sets. I don't know how much was printed in comparison, but it doesn't look like a bubble, just a rush to profit.

>>59169187
>how much was printed
I saw somewhere that roughly 75 billion have been printed in total, and in 2024 they printed 11b, 10b in 2025. Roughly 2bil cards for each of the 5-6 sets each year.

By comparison, each of Base Set, Jungle, and Fossil had 8-10 print runs of 60k booster boxes each, each box has a little under 400 cards - puts the "true vintage" sets at no more than 240m cards printed per set, and Base was split between shadowless, 1st edition, and unlimited.

So you're looking at 10x more of the modern sets printed than the most hype original sets. Now the rarest chase cards in modern sets are far more packs per pull than a holo Charizard was in Base set, so they may well have similar starting populations, before figuring in survival to today.

All I can take away from this, personally, is that anything but the rarest cards printed today won't hold any meaningful value. Those rarest ones might, but it depends on if demand is driven by "investing" and dries up if the bottom drops out, or if demand is truly "collectors" who pull population out of rotation for long stretches.

This is the only reasonable take in this market. Even if you don't want to sell your cards, it's smarter to just scalp and resell so that you can reinvest to buy what you want.It's toxic, but it makes sense. I'm holding my ETBs at the moment, not with the intent of selling, but if it ever gets to the point where you can buy most of the chase cards in a set by selling one, like has happened with 151, it only makes sense. And if it crashes, I'll rip and be happy that way, regardless of outcome

Oh hey, I got one of those. Is it worth anything?

did my taxes today, getting $5000 back. im thinking about putting half into pokemon as an investment. thinking a psa 10 ex would be good or maybe a delta species reverse, possibly a gold star.

we were first into this it IS our God given right reeee

Some cards got sniped from me again
Not gonna mention it specifically but let's just say a certain anon is either wrong or is part of the price manipulation because someone is buying up all the cheap copies
>>59176860
Leonheart also made his own app that he shills in his DONT START A POKEMON STORE vid and others

>>59177116
>Leonheart also made his own app that he shills in his DONT START A POKEMON STORE vid and others
It's comedy gold how many people are trying to discourage others from "getting into the game" because they fear it'll damage their profits while also content farming about profits you can make

I thought Leonhart gave up streaming a few years ago. He did a big thing about it. Is he back?

Some fat dude at a LGS I go to often keeps going into debt trying to resell cards he pulled from packs to vendors instead of individuals and sending his cards off to PSA hoping he gets a 10.

>>59177244
how does he go into debt if he's reselling them?

>>59168869
>when the dollar becomes toilet paper
When the dollar becomes worthless, you will be able to trade Pokemon Cards for other currencies that still hold value.

Price manipulation is a complicated term for the idea that currently there are more profits to be had. Other than that it's the same with mtg nerds farming product for themselves and then setting the stakes, which will have no reason to change if they are able to hold onto dead capital

>>59176834
On demographics, why are there so many bottom feeders of society in this hobby. Whenever I've been to card shows, events, tournaments, etc. and there are so many people who are on some kind of welfare, disability, working some dead end job who talks about how Pokémon is going to make them rich.They spend hundreds every month on cards hoping it'll bring them out of the hole, and some of them might be saved by cards, but I can't help but to feel as though it isn't going to fix all of their problems.

>>59177475
I gotta agree, I haven't played ZA but I really like Canari.
Iono is really overdesigned.

>>59179096
depends if my rarest cards are there or not

do cards bought on ebay arrive on time or do they have some delay?
I bought a cheap card to see and check how it is buying on ebay and it should have arrive around april 7-10th but I haven't got anything yet. I asked my mailman (or mailwoman in this case) because I wasn't at home during those days and she said that nothing has arrived for me

I am at peace not caring if my $5 original card that's nearly as old as me has a microscopic blemish on the back that I will never see. Going to visit a card show this weekend and pick up some more oldies on the cheap. Wish me luck on fine finds, and hope that I have something for the kind vendors to enjoy in trade.

You can't even find perfect order despite everyone saying it's a bad set, because retards will scalp it anyway and hoard it like they hoarded shrouded fable, because they think "now it's slept on but in 5 years everyone will want it"

$100 for a card is a lot, we normalized cardboard costing hundreds at a minimum, and we should all die for this
