    The booster box won’t go below $150 and it only gets that low with a MASSIVE reprint. A reprint most likely will barely affect the price.

      It's going to be interesting because they managed to get Roaring Skies from $300 to $80 back in the day. I wonder if they're capable of doing that again with the kind of demand we have nowadays. I think you're right, we might see $150, maybe a little under if we're lucky, but the days of $90-120 are over for this set.

    You should be fine to sit on the cases but it would be prudent to sell or even trade some SS as you know.

    @Ernie_And_Monkey หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ok vapor, slow down. Let me give you my opinion. Do not sell your Surging sparks. In one year, when the reprint happens, there will be 3 new sets and 1 specialty set out and there is a good chance that a couple of those sets (maybe all) will be better than Surging. So let's fast forward to one year. You'll have 9 cases of surging and that's good enough because you'll be too busy buying cases of these newer and better sets. So that's it. I spoke my mind and I hope I get you to think before you spend more on Surging.

    you're the only one who cares about surging most of us are already on prismatic; The issue with your strategy is you didn't learn from vivid voltage both twilight masquerade and surging sparks are due for massive reprints yea you can double down but moving a set like surging long term won't be easy to do at $200 you should seriously cash out now while the market is dry next year nobody wants surging we all want prismatic, trainer set, rocket) you have an opportunity to double dip into any of those 3 by exiting surging rn that's the best advice I can give unlike you I kept all my evolving skies listen to my advice I know what I'm talking about and unlike you I was also there for vivid collapse and I saw rainbow pika raw hit 700+ it was insane when it dipped to $120 and less
