Probably the charizard, or umbreon star. We'll have to see what the pull rates are like though, hopefully it's roughly equal across the whole special subset.

its just the ebay/marketplace phenomenon
people see ridiculous listings and think "hey, I can sell that", without actually checking for sold listings
and then you end up with a ridiculous amount of these.

It's dumb but at one point I was looking into buying empty packs of older WotC sets. I think they're neat and wish I had kept some from when I was a kid. Oddly enough I kept a lot of old Yugioh wrappers but no Pokemon. Anyway, even the torn up ones (which I would be fine with) were far too expensive for literal trash. I think I remember seeing a set of three Base Set wrappers for like $50 or something, and that was the cheapest on Ebay at the time.

i dont know much about modern prerelease promos honestly, sorry
and honestly from my experience prereleases are pretty cool and people are nice, maybe try a different one than that guy though
its like 25 dollars (unless lgs raised the price due to popularity which wouldnt surprise me) to get a kit, enter a tournament, and get more prize packs of the set at the end (even if you didnt win at all or at least thats how it works in some)

I'm probably going to mostly pass on this set. I've already hit evolving skies and shining/hidden fates pretty hard this year and also got quite a bit of the other new sets. None of these cards look particularly interesting and the goofy logo ruins them anyway.

I'll grab a box here and there if I ever see them in stores but I'm really just burnt out keeping up with all these new sets and trying to chase stuff down.

Looking forward to these results. Hopefully this means we'll actually get the promos in English. I guess one benefit of the 2020 Pokemon hypebeast is it showed TPCi that keeping things exclusive to Japan all the time is leaving a ton of money on the table.

The last illustrator charizard was exclusive to Japan, though it was/is still pretty easy to get them. If these are distributed like the art academy set then good luck as they are instantly some of the rarest cards out there.

So, are you going to open them? Or just hold them for 25years in hopes people will pay thousands for one? Cuz the latter seems unlikely, especailly since the set is only 50 cards.

I'll open some of the smaller things to pulls some cards but most stuff I'll keep sealed. 25 years is a long time, most sets mature in 5-10 years.

If people are willing to buy a generations ETB for close to $1000 5 years down the line, what do you think people would be willing to spend on small print run, exclusive sealed products in the same time frame? That's the reason why the Pokemon Centre ETBs are already reselling for +177% of their retail value.

Fyi if they accepted Best Offer then it doesn't show you what they actually paid. They literally could've paid a few 100. The only odd one is that one on the bottom that had a bid, but it could've been a shill from the seller or a 0 feedback account with a legit account making an offer. Personally I get Generations has some Charizards and nice RC stuff but I genuinely can't see what will make it worth that price. Paying that much for 10 five year old packs, a decently priced promo (just saw some sealed ones on eBay for £20) and the rest of the ETB shit just seems downright nutty to me. But who knows, maybe during the 30th Anniversary we'll get even more retarded hypefags (or "Sealed Collectors") who will eat this shit up for triple the price they are now.

Maybe, but maybe not for Celebrations stuff. I went in to my LGS the other day to ask about pre-orders for Celebrations boxes. They mentioned they won't be doing pre-sales since suppliers for celebrations items have not been the most forthcoming regarding inventory.

The workers at the shop also told me that they are a Pre-release store (I got a bunch of ES packs a week in advance of their launch) -- but that they likely won't be Pre-releasing Celebrations. Some sets you aren't allowed to prerelease, it seems.

There were over 280k online entries for the JP Post Stamp Box, not including the physical mail entries or boxes already sold at the annual stamp convention. 100k boxes are being produced (potentially more on the way but let's be real, that ain't happening).

It's insane to me that they thought to combine to heavily collectible markets, stamps and Pokemon cards, and not think the demand would outstrip supply. I'm not even sure how this will play out for the foreign market since you needed a domestic Japanese address and could only apply twice per resident.

Ex full arts look like absolute shit irl. They are faded, blurry and often have complete shit print quality. That's why no one cares about them. If you don't believe me, look at the psa 10 populations. 90% of ex full arts have zero psa 10s because the print quality is fucking terrible.

Thing is, while now it is obvious how many tards are hoarding things in good condition, eventually the market for them will stagnate. And that is when most of them will sell at a loss. However; cards that are short printed in sets of over 200 cards will retain value because of their limited amount. Evolving skies is a perfect example, with alt arts of both V and VMAX, and even in a boost box of 36 packs you only have a 50/50 at best to pull 1 if you're lucky- they will retain value, or even go up. You also have to consider the modern crotch spawns going to game shops with their parents and picking up random 1 packs and pulling the $500 card out of it, and those kids are dumb like the kids back in the 90's and won't keep them in good condition for 20+ years. Thus, the amount of cards that would be of high value will be very low. Every new series has chase cards
Gen2: shining
Gen3: gold star
Gen4: half art legends/prime
Gen5: secret rare shinies
Gen6: alt shiny full arts
Gen7: alt art tag teams/hyper rares
Gen8: alt arts of V mons
And those cards always go up in value or again, retain their original value. But, this is just speculation I suppose- pokemon cards thrive on nostalgia. And those kids now will get the bug 15 or 20 years down the line and will pay through the nose to get one's they never could as kids. Pokemon TCG is cyclical, we're now in a shortage that hasn't happened since the e-series.

What you said makes sense, but I'm confused on the above? What do you mean we're now in a shortage? As in not enough cards are being printed? Or that too many are being purchased?

covid shut down a lot of places that could print them fast and endlessly because of a lack of workers or supplies. while they claim they will reprint recent sets to offset the big sudden craze in collecting that covid brought, I don't expect it to happen at all, or if it does, not until the next decade; and that it will only be the newer sets announced for a decade from now, not the sets that need it currently.

They're not printing enough cards to meet the demand, basically, in the last 2 years there has been a huge boom in people buying that wasn't around during BW, XY, and the end of SuMo. It wasn't until the tail end of the Sun and moon series that people started getting back into it with the new hidden fates because some random no name influencer says that it's a good time to "invest" but there's never a good time to do that, because pokemon tcg isn't something you really invest in. It's a gamble. PTCG is printing the same amount of stuff as they were during the BW and XY series, but now there's basically double the product purchasing base. As a result, stores are selling out and can't get the 'normal' stock they used to. That said, give it another year or 2 and we'll rebound back to there being more than enough to go around because the casuals who thought they could make a quick buck will likely sell their stuff at a loss or just won't care and give them away to kids or something stupid.
PTCG hasn't changed, we'rr just going into a quick upturn where people who haven't touched cards since the 90's early 2000s are getting into it hard and won't be able to sell anything at a profit because no one wants to pay for the secondary market, and because everyone and their mom had the same idea. And that will be where the value comes in, as people turf the things that they thought would make them rich will be lost forever or irreputably damaged, thus driving up the cost. If people doubt this, back in the high point of pokemania, there were millions upon millions of producy being produced and sold around the world, but no one considered to actually keep them in good condition, and now, we're going to be going right back into it.

Alright, so not from Gamefreak, PTCGi, or Nintendo. I bet Kotaku has an article saying the same thing, first party news or it's fake news. This isn't 2001 anymore, don't believe anything on the internet unless it's from a first party source. Also, the link in the article says nothing about more factories being built. All the statement says is that they will be making reruns and printing more of older sets, that's it.

the idea of investing means you hold onto something you bought without going bankrupt over and selling it later on when you make all that back plus a handsome extra amount on top of it. that's how it goes with things that don't somehow generate their own income passively while you hold it; aka your cardboard isn't earning you interest or dividends while you keep it in a binder or in a box in your attic. you have to sell it to get the investment out of it.

Why would they not be? They're very short printed cards. Even if you were guarenteed 1 alt art per box, there's more than 10 in that 1 set alone. They worth a lot now because of a mix of hype and lack of prints. So they will keep their value at the very least.

how owuld that work after missing out on 7 gens of gym leaders? massively inflated set of cards so every leader gets one or two pokemon? only use a handful of cherrypicked gym leaders? make it more than one set again so all leaders get 5+ pokemon? kanto remix only?

just do exclusively swsh gym leaders + trainers.
they're already very popular, definitely moreso than other generations
or do sinnoh as well to tie in with bdsp/arceus
i wish they had done a johto set with hgss and a hoenn one during oras.

Bro, you aren't going to be rich collecting pokemon cards anyway. Unless you literally have a PSA 1st Base Set Charizard -- you aren't becoming rich. The drop off in value of cards that aren't the specific charizard I stated above is staggering. And they still need to be graded 10s, not 9 or 9.5.

So if you don't have the above card, you'll need a huge stack of (also gm mint 10) 1st Base Set other cards.

Can you make some nice cash off cards, even modern ones? Yes, absolutely. Maybe even a few tens of thousands if you're lucky? Sure. But don't expect hundreds of thousands, even if you have a few base set holos. So instead, just chill. Relax. Buy some cards that you think look cool. Spend some cash on your gambling addiction and open some packs. Enjoy the art. Maybe you enjoy the cards that are just photos of figures in the real world -- collect those.

Your collection, almost certainly, will not get you rich. Like most collections, lmao.

Where has anyone in this thread said they were going to get rich? All I've seen is a lot of exaggeration and absurdism by people that don't seem to grasp basic economics. Modern cards get opened by people mostly, the amount of people holding sealed product versus people opening is pretty small overall. As product becomes out-of-print it becomes rarer, more sought after and more valuable. Simple as that.

Sealed product has no interest payments on holding it, no fees and you don't have to pay taxes when you sell it. The most you'll be paying is a 10-12% eBay fee or whatever, but that is only up to a certain point. There is almost 30 years of data from past mtg and pokemon sets to support the idea that it is worth holding sealed product for investments regardless of what you purchase.

Single cards are a different conversation.

And the website is really good for everything else. It’s fun and easy to swap shells you can buy tons of varieties on eBay (of varying quality) and elsewhere and swap the internals or screen separate from any Gameboy.

What? My LGSs only stock the loose boosters. Hell, some even have the loose boosters on their front counters.

Also, what is to prevent one from stealing the packs that are in cardboard? I feel like the cardboard is, instead, to prevent weighing?

I would think that the cardboard is to keep the cards protected from bending or being roughed up along the sides.

LGS != regular retail stores
lgs are tiny and the clerk is like a foot away from the booster boxes
and yeah cardboard is multipurpose. slows theft somewhat, provides protection, and lets stores display the packs easily on shelves. booster foil will tear
this has been a thing since base set

Seems like bots took everything. I still have them in my cart, but if you search for it, they've taken it off the site. So basically, it's fucked.

Site’s fucked. I didn’t have an account when I had two etbs in my cart, then I made an account in another tab, then I logged in on my account in the tab I had my cart on, and then my cart was emptied and I couldn’t put more etbs in it. Feels real fucking bad

Disagree, the supply distribution is hampered by being Japan only (and needing unique addresses for resellers to have multiple entries) and Covid-era shipping. I don't see interest dropping for a long while.

>>48214638
I'm not familiar with the actual size of Japanese print runs, but 100k is not enough even for domestic demand, it seems. I worry what happens once Reddit users start posting about them.

>>48214669
You're right, they don't compare at all. Because shining mew was printed in massive quantities and given out in a 10 dollar magazine, while these are lottery-exclusive cards with a 100k print run and unique full-art that appeals to both TCG and stamp autists.

I'm not interested in reselling these at all, I'm just trying to get a copy at MSRP because I'm a poorfag. I have 10 entries thanks to friends and I'm still sweating the odds.

>>48215735
Your boomer cards are boring and their value is only predicated on how much your fat ass has impressed the cardboard. Cards should be collected because they are unique and interesting, not valued on their scratches.
