>>56895815here is a bullshit graph i just made up to better explain. pre 2020, the card market would behave a certain way. Most distributors were asking under MSRP for product. anywhere from 90 - 140 per booster box. there would be some peaking, where some sets would go over MSRP due to demand. but for the most part you could get a booster box anywhere for 10 bucks off the pokemon centers website.
post 2020 i was bitching how everything was in a bubble and its not realistic to the normal pokemon card market. most sets are way above what they use to be, even higher than MSRP, which has basically changed from 150 to 165. then sets skyrocket because everyone and their grandma was buying cards. just for them to slowly peak. now if you look at sets that are over 1 year old they are starting to bottom out in price.
Since i knew the pokemon market better than new people i suggested for years to hold your money because this is clearly a market that is benefitting the distributors more than the consumers. the pricing didnt add up, and now were stuck with a bunch of over printed product that frankly is not rare by any means.
so im sorry you bought into the hype, because i didnt, i know the card market better than a couple zoomers with a 1000 bucks and a trip around town to short the market so sure that everything they touched will turn to gold.
