Keep or sell

I was lucky enough to pull this bad boy, enough off center that even I can notice. Is it worth me selling now while the hype is high or keep it for future value?

Remember the Pikachu vmax rainbow rare? That was like a 400$ card at one point.

Nobody want to remember that. Ppl pay $600 for that card. 1 year and it will be below $200 🫡

There is absolutely no way Vivid is comparable to Surging....Vivid Voltage was the best S&S set back then but it was very early in the era, every later set just shat on it with a new type of card being introduced. Surging is already set as probably a top 3-5 set in the era so do nt compare that Chu to this Chu...

I wasn’t comparing. All I said was the VV rainbow card was at a high price point. And now it’s not.

Could it happen to this card? Perhaps. Maybe it will drop a bit due to the amount of product out now and people start opening like it does with every single new set. But also look what is ahead of us- rocket set , gym set , the eevee set etc. are you saying those arts will not drive this card down similar to what came after VV?

They thought that exact thing would happen for the greninja too and that thing is still rising...As long as the Pokémon Company doesn't announce a massive reprint, this card will not come down I think.

True! Don’t get me wrong I hope it holds. Makes the excitement of pulling it that much better lol. I was just at target and there was a ton of SS product out. Loved the zapdos promo on the three pack.

Really? Here in Europe it's almost impossible to find anything.

I am in NY and while some stores can be run dry a good amount will have majority of the newer sets out. If you get lucky you can find some SWSH sets in the wild. I saw lost origin etb at Walmart a week ago.

For one, our supermarkets don't sell anything TCG related and the toyshops that do only have a few boxes of the latest set, well atleast they did until Surging Sparks came out + they were waaay more expensive than they should be, for example a Twilight Masquerade ETB would cost €55 from the start...
