how the fuck is the ugly magikarp from paldea evolved STILL going up in a price?

>>56073104
Sellers pumping it up and people fomo-ing into chasing it. Paldea evolved is still in print even if peeps would say that it has a lower pull rate due to the set having 36 IRs.

At this point, if you want the magikarp better to buy the japanese AR from clayburst.

One day there will be a toploader binder that holds 600 cards, and I'll be happy.

>>56073556

>>56073121
>Sellers pumping it up and people fomo-ing into chasing it.

>>56073104
There's nothing else in the set and bag holders who are still keeping shit boxes must pretend there's a reason to open it. If that magikarp released in Crown Zenith it'd be a 5 dollar card.

>>56073894
This. There is, without a doubt, sellers taking advantage of the system and manipulating hype while people panic buy. But anyone who thinks that's all there is to it is clueless about the market. Artificial pumping doesn't stick if the card isn't desirable. There's a reason cards like Morty's Conviction and Iron Crown settled back down after briefly doubling in price. When it comes down to it, Magikarp is a beautiful card featuring a fan favorite pokemon from gen 1. That's what sellers used to springboard their price manipulation. That's why buyers fomo buy. From the very beginning there was buzz about it and it was the first IR to maintain a steady price above $10, with Ralts having previously been the most expensive IR.

Most recent SwSh alt arts that have gone up in price have started to downtrend as well. Though the question now is how long it will take the said cards to go back down to the pre-hype prices.

We are about to get a new specialty set with the new dragon set coming out Q3 this year and also the team rocket set early next year.

I actually expect a lot of sellers and investors to liquidate cards in a race to the bottom so they could get some cash on hand for the upcoming hyped sets. How that would affect the SwSh and even SV alt arts, only time would tell.

>>56074353
>I actually expect a lot of sellers and investors to liquidate cards in a race to the bottom so they could get some cash on hand for the upcoming hyped sets.
Interesting, we'll have to see what happens. I wonder how crazy things will get around the Rocket set. I won't lie, I'm hyped too, but I just want to get some stuff for my small collection and gtfo.

>>56074851
Tbh I believe that if you really want to get in on hyped sets, I'd say wait out the market until after pre-release and fomo hype (usually a few weeks to a month).

Just like with 151, patience is key when buying into the set. Both the eng and japanese are already considerably down in price singles wise. And if you live the US, you can easily get 151 for cheaps from clearance sales while jp 151 is already back to around ~$60 ahead of the july reprints.

>>56074898
>I'd say wait out the market until after pre-release and fomo hype (usually a few weeks to a month).
I understand what you mean, but that doesn't work as well in my small European country. Prices here don't really go down like they do in America and England. Prices tend to only go up and then stay high, except for common singles.

A 151 booster box goes for 60, 70+ euro's here, and you cannot get them in stores at all anymore. Other boxes are sold out or inflated too. Import from the US is crazy costly too, so you're stuck. I'd rather just buy what I want at release and avoid the whole mess, and save up in advance.

>>56074333
If you go to a poketuber that talks price and market a lot, you can literally see them flip flop constantly just by the thumbnail in a short period of time.
Their opinion is entirely dependent on what theyre putting up for auction or trying to offload soon.
Go look at their ebay the day of or after a video drops, its obvious.

Modern alt arts might see a down turn if their sets are constantly in print and theres more supply than demand.
But if it stagnates you can bet a Poketuber holding a bunch of alts will pump them and put them up for auction after.

>>56077806
If you're in the US, ebay is your best bet. Anywhere else, best to check out your local facebook market place. But check on the current market price for your cards so you don't get lowballed.

As for where to check prices, I'd say pricecharting or collectr is okay. tcgplayer is too risky and tnt is slow with updating prices.

also hope they're going to give some attention to the old Megas and not just the new ones that will come with the game.
even tho I should probably ask our TCG bros if it that would even possible for them to release megas to the current meta.
or could they just don't make them tournament legal? Or ban them?

Whenever they're going to release it it will be an expensive year of TCG.

what you dont know? the PSA scam is pretend like moonbreon is a 1500 dollar card so that it costs you 75 dollars to grade it, instead of 20 bucks. because its deffinitly a super pricey, super rare, not inflated card that PSA is overcharging you to grade.
