Danggit Bobby, another thirst quenching video. Thank you for the weekly info keep it up; the Stellar Crown and Paradox Rift combo deal is looking like it needs to be purchased by me.
Si much is calling my name and I am holding on to my wallet for dear life. Too many good things coming. If I didn't have Stellar or Rift I would be looking at these though for the sealed collection.
Thank you! Yeah I'm trying to be patient and if things don't come down where I feel comfortable I guess I'm okay with the missed opportunity. There is always something cool on the horizon.
@VRule1 i already did bad by paying 50 for a booster bundle for prismatic. I need it for the collection though and couldn't find it lower. I received an offer off ebay so let's hope I don't get messed up over it.
Nice content and info regarding where to search for product and to not always jump on every listing. I just picked up two Surging Sparks ETBs at local Walmart for $55 each plus tax so $58 each.
GM GM, low product everywhere is making the weirdest things climb. We have the pokemon center vending machines going up and already dealing with dudes hoggin the machine until they buy out everything they want. Very annoying time we are in for sure with extreme scalpers 🤨
@TheScott2theextreme for sure will. The more investors collect form themselves, the more scalpers buy out and flip for quick profit and the more collectors buy for themselves. It's affecting the market. Not including the rippers, those who buy to open etc and sell off what they don't want. I don't like to include the rippers because that's expected of the TCG. The main thing to notice is your sealed goes up, hit cards hold or climb in value and scarcity impact buying urges. So the fomo kicks in for a lot of people who aren't prepared to either risk holding out for better prices later or understanding that their time to buy window is gone (for now). So, simply yes. Values will increase the less product to open is available to the public. I've seen people pay double market value for things just to get it in recent weeks

If there are popular promos they could be worth grading. The pokemon center stamped promos come to mind. I don't think this one would be worth it to grade.
price-per-pack is king unless there's an insane promo like the myriad Pikachu promos, the Charmander, the collections boxes of Greninja and Kingdra... I'm not really excited about a 1-touch, but, hey--you can get a perfect fit sleeve and still use it for a card you want to display. Until the market recorrects and sealed isn't soaring (reprints are coming! stop panicking!) I say sell what you're comfortable with and sit on everything else until we're not paying over MSRP for every product not in the Shrouded Fable line.
Good analysis. Sell high and buy low. Isn't weird how when collecting many people lose sight of this concept. Good breakdown. It's comments like these that help me in my collecting journey as well!
As my local place keeps bringing in product that I’m not super interested in, it starts making me look into other sets, like twilight masquerade. Bought loose single blisters that were restocked. But my chase is the PE Magic Carp. Don’t know why, but it speaks to me.
I was able to jump on a box of terastal festival from sakuras. It was a good price considering where else I looked. But don’t know how to feel about the map-ability. Does the mapping take place for boxes in a case? Or is it just limited to packs in the box?
So long as you get a sealed box you don't have to worry about the mapping. Lose packs are the problem here because people could get the best pulls and sell off the remaining packs knowing there is no good hit inside.
Eeek. Did they burn you or something? Did their Prismatic release let you down? I can understand that but there have been a few other stores that took it way too far.
Thanks for the info man! Just started into collecting with my kids. This really helps
Thank you! Pokemon with your children is probably the best way to collect. Enjoy your collecting journey!
Good work 👍
Thank you!
😊
Thank you!
Good content 👌🏽
Thank you!

All in good time the price may drop for a little bit. great vid.
They could stabilize.
I’m so excited for the giveaway
Can't wait!
I'm just going to wait on possible price drops which I know may not happen. That terapagos upc though I may just grab one to open though. Great vid!

Some nice deals!! With you on the Greninja box if it drops to $60-80 might get one if not it’s not worth getting. Cool box
Exactly. Even then I will hesitate because I will probably be on to other things lol we'll see.
🫡👼👼🤙🔥🍻🍻🎆🎉😂
Thank you!
Love the daily content!

Patience is key. You get those restocks and you're not paying an arm and a leg. Nice find!
Thanks for the info definitely going to game stop feb 7th
I will try for the same. If you have costco keep an eye out for that as well!
GIVVY gonna be 🔥
Thank you!
i actually like opening paradox rift, might need to get another
Looks like a good time for it before a big boom makes everything inflate in price.
GM GM, low product everywhere is making the weirdest things climb. We have the pokemon center vending machines going up and already dealing with dudes hoggin the machine until they buy out everything they want. Very annoying time we are in for sure with extreme scalpers 🤨
I wonder if this would make regular cards rise in price?
@TheScott2theextreme for sure will. The more investors collect form themselves, the more scalpers buy out and flip for quick profit and the more collectors buy for themselves.

Nice info looking at an Ogerpon collection for $20 in my local marketplace.What do you think about grading the promos in these collection boxes?
If there are popular promos they could be worth grading. The pokemon center stamped promos come to mind. I don't think this one would be worth it to grade.
Gotta get those xmas presents.
Wrap these under the tree! Hope the giveaway can brighten someone's Christmas.

I hear that. Go to the fish but beware of the sirens!

That is a good price for etb case but you never know with eBay
Yes always be careful on ebay. Use the added protection of PayPal for sure.
When does Pokemon center release day for prismatic ? I want to beat the bots :)
January 17 will be the next and last opportunity. Got to be quick. They may last about 5 minutes.
@ approximately what time? The bots have been kicking my butt.
I got a greeninja box and terapagos .... not buy 💩 Josh cards
Eeek. Did they burn you or something? Did their Prismatic release let you down? I can understand that but there have been a few other stores that took it way too far.
