>>58379102>Why should the boxes go up if you know there's like 50,000 of them out thereBecause that's 50,000 out of print products
Out of print has value in and of itself
Functionally, that's the same as serialized product because it's limited and no longer being produced
When destined rivals goes out of print, that means ethans ho-oh, cynthias garchomp, rockets mewtwo shoot up because the chances of new ones being pulled from 50,000 remaining hoarded product has now been mathematically calculated to be defined and limited to x amount based on probability of pull rates, effectively a serialized amount
This brings up existing prices of those cards because they remain defacto the only ones with 100% certainty of availability rather than obtained through luck meaning demand is higher.
However to those seeking to make a profit rather than just own the card, that means the sealed product also goes up too because in many cases it's cheaper to buy expensive sealed and gamble in hoping you pull the chase card and grade it yourself praying for a 10 rather than spending more for a guaranteed card
For example, evolving skies is like 1.7k-2k a booster box but psa 10 moonbreon is like almost 4k.
We're in a bubble so obviously this will go down with crash a little, but after a reset and stabilization it will go back up and rise even higher than now
That's just how time works with out of print shit
