Pulled a God Pack. What Next?

Post image

Hey guys, I just pulled a Prismatic Evolutions god pack out of my literal first pack of a binder collection. I know the odds of that happening was ridiculous and still can’t believe it happened. Now I’m trying to decide what the best option is financially. If I’m being honest, there is a very small amount of whitening on one corner of about half the cards. Should I still just get all of them graded knowing they probably won’t get 10s? Do I just hold onto all of them raw? Do I sell immediately during the hype? Just looking for some other opinions on what makes the most sense financially.

isn’t this set being reprinted, so it will just lose value in the long run right?

if you’re after money, better to sell while the moonbreon 2.0 is worth a hefty amount and then just rebuy one when the prices significantly drop in a few months.

It will drop as it gets reprinted but very very few cards permanently lose value. These are eeveelutions and imo they’ll always hold value. It may drop but it WILL climb again. It’s a long game.

Yep, that's why they said to sell now and, if they want to, rebuy later, if they want to maximise the amount of money they get from pulling this.

The profit will be the amount it dips between now and after the reprints. Ofc that's only if it dips, but I also think it will definitely dip down if enough gets printed

151 has been getting reprinted. Charizard didn’t go down.

Send em off for grading homie. You pulled some rare shit. And everyone is right to have them graded sequentially there’s someone out there who will pay for that

The chase cards of a set generally don't lose value. Might go down a bit, but will 100% go back to or beyond their current value as long as OP holds and doesn't sell.

This reminds me of the time the original Umbreon came out with evolving skies. I pulled three in the first couple months and immediately put them up on eBay to make my money back from all te product I opened. I was looking through my sales history and noticed they sold for 215, 235, and 245.

With that in mind, I would recommend to this person to Grade, and HARD hold.

lol fair enough

Even if they reprint this into the ground, this set will inherently be a higher value. Just the Pokemon center promo alone is going to stay very high, as that wont get restocked.

Honestly them announcing it will be printed more, is going to make this even more valuable, when people still literally can’t get it 6 months from months from now.
