I don’t know about $300 would be kinda crazy honestly. Will be fun to see where it goes I just hope it don’t shoot up and only has a steady climb like all sets should have
@@cpt_dankbridge1958 it’s not really a reprint 151 Japanese is getting reprinted. 151 English is getting a new product which i guess you can consider a reprint but i honestly feel like if the hype stays as it is now this product will be like every other 151 product and get bought up. Depending on how big the release is for the new product.
I can definitely see that honestly sadly everyone is going to have to order from the Pokémon center because everyone else is so expensive. The hype needs to slow down
You mean they will sell at what they are valued at? If anything we are spoiled pokemon isn't following inflation. Its one of the only products that hasn't risen due to inflation.
Hopefully you get your cases. Vendors and stores with pre orders might be tempted to cancel orders and hen resell since the cases are over $700 now. I am hearing that a lot of orders have been canceled or cut by quite a bit. There is no way a hyped Pikachu set is short printed. I think sellers who got allocation are hesitant to sell pre release since its rising so much. Twilight Masquerade has set a new precedence in the hobby with booster boxes rising to MSRP very fast and that Greninja has shown that new cards can be worth a lot and I think its part of the reason people are willing to pay a lot for 151 singles.
I hope I receive them to 😭that is the one thing that I don’t think about the hobby because I know a lot of people are canceling orders just to sell at a higher price sadly
@@Gottamitchemall When Sword & Shield singles were going up I had 3 orders canceled on Alt Arts I purchased cause they were rising so fast sellers wanted to get those gains. This time on 151 singles I have ordered as they were starting to go up an no sellers canceled which is shocking.
as for the PC etbs those are always good plays since there can be no market manipulation on those and surging sparks is cool but there isn't that much demand most people are looking into eevee set and team rocket set rn not surging sparks
Surging sparks has a good bit of demand if boxes are selling for $125 before release kinda crazy. PC ETBs are definitely a safe bet some PC ETBs are going crazy like obsidian flames and 151
I buy them regardless honestly. This set is just the most that I have bought at preorder because how much hype is around it and I don’t think prices will stay low sadly.
Pre ordered 11 cases of surging sparks at less than $600 a case. Booster boxes at $120 aren’t even bad considered msrp is $160. If people don’t like it at $120 they should have pre ordered at $100 each. People think booster boxes will go back to $90 or $95 if they wait but time in the market always outweighs timing the market
This is a very good point. I think the under $100 booster boxes are definitely over. That is why I have been pre ordering cases the prices when they come out have just been going up so best to get some early at a good and stable price.
@@Gottamitchemall forgot to mention it highly depends on the set whether pre ordering is a good idea (scarlet violet base set and other weaker sets are a prime example)
Well I mean they are the ones that list those prices. They don’t have to sell them at that price. A lot of LGS are strapped for cash and have to sell as soon as they get it in or they will be very short for the month. I mean I like supporting LGS but I honestly have never bought a Pokémon booster boxes from one of my local ones they sell them for $130 when I can get it online for cheaper and it is the same thing. I mean I don’t have unlimited amount of money to spend. Hard truth but they still stay in business so someone buys from them so we are all happy 😄
@@robertromero8094 exactly how they do it they don’t make much off of sealed products. They make the majority of the money on the single cards honestly.!
Yes it absolutely will crash. Check out other popular sets from the last 10 years. Keep in mind the set IS NOT EVEN RELEASED TECHNICALLY. There is an early release going on but the set wont even be in big box stores until early November. If you overpay now just remind yourself of this... Prices will go down to normal levels for probably a month or two or 5 (nobody really knows)... Then it will probably increase again as most sets do and being a very popular set it could be SV's Evolving Skies (not counting 151).
You got a point I hope you are right about this one. This set seems different to me so much hype behind it really will be interesting to see how the market goes honestly I hope it goes down so I can buy more 😭
People are way to optimistic. I don’t actually see the set doing that well. Time and time again I see scalpers coming in buying random junk or bad sets and thinking they are going to retire. People who are true investors, learn the market, find what is in demand overall by the community and not by what they think. To understand what is in demand you have to learn and love Pokémon. Different demographics have huge impacts, on why things change. Don’t get complacent and think you know everything.
Very good point. The reason I think this set is so hyped it has some big Pokémon like(Pikachu, Latias , Latios , Milotic just to name a few.) will be interesting to see how the set does long term I think it will do well so will be nice to see.
@@Gottamitchemall I will usually give the set a bit of time to see how the market is taking it . I find patience saves me from buying cases of every set. Like today if I were to buy a more recent case I’d pick twilight masquerade over most even with the cost above retail. Buying every set will leave you with cases like obsidian flames. Maybe nice to have one booster box of if you collect every set but when we talk about cases.
respectfully bro you bought into the hype I'm personally not buying any booster boxes at $120 preorder that's insane last time that happened with scarlet and violet base and all prices crashed even now base is barely getting back to $100 it has seen all time highs of $130-140 out the gate and as high as $160 per box back then...fomo really kills profits patience is very important in this hobby bro pokemon will reprint these boxes if they spike this hard out the gate and make these sets worth little to nothing....
I mean i got my boxes for $599 plus taxes like $625 that is how much i have bought all my booster box cases of every set that I have bought so far. But I have not received them so they might get canceled we shall see how that part goes
Nah evolving skies was the only set that went from 120 to 240 first year. This is not evolving (eevelutions are better) it will rise yes but the crazy jumps will stop soon and them it keeps hanging
Maybe we shall see it feels like it is possible with this Set. This set has a Pikachu card and Latias and Latios all three are very good cards I think. But we shall see will be very interesting to see how the set does
Booster boxes will be $300 by February they are not reprinting any more Pokemon cards only restocks
I don’t know about $300 would be kinda crazy honestly. Will be fun to see where it goes I just hope it don’t shoot up and only has a steady climb like all sets should have
They just said that 151 is getting a reprint in 2025... like a day or 2 ago

@@Top_Loaded_JRGS77 wow I have heard things like that happen. Hopefully it stays that way honestly.
Getting near Christmas, this one is going to be popular no matter what because of this alone.
You got a very good point newest set will be very popular hope they print a good amount of it honestly

Definitely is a nice set, the art is stunning!
Wow that is crazy 😮😮
Definitely is but it’s the market we are in

$100 booster boxes at release hurt your LGS as there is near no margins. Sure your happy but ask your local LGS what they think!
Well I mean they are the ones that list those prices. They don’t have to sell them at that price. A lot of LGS are strapped for cash and have to sell as soon as they get it in or they will be very short for the month.

Lgs do just fine, mine is busy everytime I go. They make most money on single packs and giving 60% value on trade ins

Can’t even find anywhere reliable to preorder a case at this point 🤦♂️
I know sadly because everyone wants to hike up the price or cancel orders because they see a higher price it’s crazy 😭
