day 138 of posting my charizard collection until it hits $1milhappy new year to all pokemon collectors, seems like everything is mooning atm, hows your port doing?
>>59565104Should have just bought PSA graded base set Charizards
>>59565126vintage moves SLOW, i got plenty of time to buy base set zardslook at that stack of zard vstars 262 i got in my pic, bought most for $10 just 6 months agoits $25+ now
>>59565104All my sealed is mooning, just no reason to sell. I'll just wait another cycle
>>59565625smart, sealed will ALWAYS climb longterm. never sell but you can rotate if you want to lock in profits. e.g. i'd recommend trading some 151 sealed for paldea evolved rn.what do you have anon?
>>59565238PSA 7 Base zards were $300 like 10 minutes ago, now they're $450How are your $5 Charizard Vs doing
Where did you track all the pricing? ebay?
>>5956589710 minutes kek
>>59565959initially didnt track but should have done because yeah took awhile to move all the prices from ebay to a tcg portfolio app which kinda tracks current price (its called Collectr)
>>59566024ty
>>59565650pokemon, magic, yugioh, FAB, Metazoo(Rip), some weissI pretty much listened to rudy, I have the most in pokemon sealed sword and shield
Like this shit is insane, there were $700 listings a couple of days ago. This pokemon market is fucking crazy. I have a case of this preordered from PCI wonder what pokemon is going to do this cycle, ramp up print runs like last time? This exact same thing happen to shining fates where it pumped to $100 + an etb
>>59567386preordered PC etbs? congrats anon hodl them strongyeah they're gonna have to print to the ground to stop this hype even shrouded fable is getting love atm kek
how much you've made total from this? who even fucking but those?
>>59567440yeah, i was here for the 2021 bull and this shit seems crazier. Pokemon reprinted everything very heavy so we will see what happens
>>59567386How the fuck do you even know you're getting real cards? Half this shit is probably fake.
>>59568325 buy from trusted TCG stores, buy from Pokemon center direct?
>>59567386why are etbs pumping so much? wouldn't people want more cards and go with a bb?
>>59565104hey pokebros. I just found my old folder of cards all printed 1999-2000. Are these holographics worth anything?
>>59568704the "pokemon center" versions of etbs (available only direct from pokemon website) have an extra stamped promo inside which can be valuable so just makes those etbs extra collectable longtermbut yes if you want pack value dont buy standard etbs go for booster boxes/bundles
>>59568704That is a specialty set where ETBs are only available, not a booster box setIt's pumping because fomo + bull market
>>59568835Graded high, yes. Depends on what you have. Base price is okay but graded first editions mint is where the money is at.
anyone grab any Journey Together pc etbs?
>>59570290I snagged two from PC this morning. I plan on using one for my own purposes and the other will be a gift to my newborn son once he gets into the tcg when he's like 12 or 13. >>59569229Does the PC version differ from etbs bought from GameStop, Bestbuy, etc.?
>>59570639yes, extra promo + 2 packs. much more rarer/collectible (dont open them if you can) better to just open regular ETB
>>59570696Thanks for the advice. Do you have any resources for all of this? Obviously, I'm pretty new to the TCG as it is now, but I collected when Pokemon cards first came out.
>>59565104Just started monthly DCAing, which booster should I start with?
>>59570716not really just pokeinvesting reddit and websites like pokebeach.com
>>59570847that you can buy right now? Ideally:151Surging SparksPaldean FatesPaldea EvolvedTwilight Masquerade
im politoed poster and the guy who pulled zapdos ex and venusaur ex last christmas from tins.Preordered the blooming waters for safekeeping 1 year plus. Really wondering of this IS the last time we can see 151 product being released. I reckon one last restock here and there and thats it. Never have I ever seen such demand for something. Within days to weeks all stores on my watchlist were sold out of the preorders. Would love something along the lines for gen 2 and 3.
>>59570913Lol no way, wait for the crash, go buy any sword and shield box under 200.
>>59570966no doubt they'll do gen 2 eventually
>>59565104anyone want to help a biztard out? im brand new to this. i had no idea there was such fomo atm. blogpost inclive in thailand and was in hokkaido for xmas and grabbed around 50 booster boxes from the pokemon centre plus a few card shops. apparently people back in thailand are paying me a 60% markup on retail price ($32 duty free when you show your passport) even for the unsealed stuff. ive nearly sold out in just over a week.-all the electric breaker/surging sparks-most of the triple beat sold, sv1a (sealed)-most of the small box sv4a gone-kind of stuck with the unsealed twilight masquerade, sv6. nobody seems to want themi originally just aped anything that was in stock, planning to hold for years but the pokemon centre UNSEALS YOUR FUCKING BOXES right infront of you at the counter to prevent resale, so i flipped them.so i was thinking of flying back out to tokyo and dropping about 5k on booster boxes next week.so im asking. wtf is going on? why are people paying a 60% markup on retail prices? does it indicate supply shortage? if i go back will i even get my hands on any more easily? should i bother keeping hold of the unsealed stuff?and the main question is what should i buy if i go back out there? as much surging sparks as i can? theres a set coming out in 2 weeks, should i just get a shitload of that?think i could sell them on ebay to the west? am i going to be stuck with 5k worth of cards if i do it?help me biz i have no idea what im doing
>>59565104Charizard is gay
>>59570913What about Battle Styles?
>>59571443> am i going to be stuck with 5k worth of cards if i do ityou'll never have a problem selling pokemon boosters, they all go up longtermbut yes go to japan and buy as much as you can import back (sv8a and sv9 if you can get near RRP)sell to west if shipping makes sense
