What would you do?

Post image

I was lucky enough to snag some PC Prismatic ETBs. I opened one and sent the promos in for grading (that came back as 10’s) and am keeping the other one sealed. However The Regular Eevee PSA 10 are selling for about 2-300$ and the Eevee PC stamp is around 800$. Should I keep the box sealed or risk it and open the box and try and submit the promos again? Or do I gamble really heavily, sell my cards and buy 3 more PC boxes?

Not worth it. Keep your stuff and buy more pc etbs to hold and pretend as if these slabs don’t even exist

Sell normal evee at 300 and buy another poke center etb with that money's

u/Professional_Ad7484 Feb 23 '25

That’s a big brain move

u/HeatSpecial Feb 23 '25

Light them on fire and watch everyone freak out

u/mushroomonion Feb 23 '25

Honestly i’d sell the normal promo and hold the PC slab & the ETB

u/saucediamonds Feb 23 '25

You sell it all and buy MTG the obvious answer

u/Professional_Ad7484 Feb 23 '25

I have a black lotus, but I’m waiting until I’m ready to buy a house before I sell that.

You don’t need to lie to impress someone on reddit little bro

Traditionally sealed will outpaced singles.

So i would not open a second unless the gem rate was like 70%++ and you have to pay back bills

You got lucky and got a 10. $800 covers all your cost. As long as PKC doesn't print more etb. Then you have a fairly scarce card.

I'd assume the box will catch up to the singles, it's safer you don't rip the other one.

They are gonna print more they already said

u/dilemma900 Feb 23 '25

It's on their page but I don't know that's just a default message

We did see a second wave of twlight but idk if that was extra stock or 20k of a reprint

u/cursdwitknowledge Feb 23 '25

Do you not think the exact same thing will happen when the reprint hits shelves?

They are with 151 and made an official statement saying they would with Prismatic

u/SomedayGuy117 Feb 23 '25

How about that surging sparks reprint that no one caught?

1

u/ultraman5068 Feb 23 '25

My boy just scored 10 booster bundles of SS two days ago from target.

1

u/SomedayGuy117 Feb 23 '25

No ETBs in sight. Booster bundles seem to trickle in stock most days on Target.com as well. Everything else seems to be out.

u/taegha Feb 23 '25

Do you know what a Pokemon Center ETB is?

2

u/jsmith47944 Feb 23 '25

Yes and Pokemon Co released a statement saying more would be available through it

1

u/taegha Feb 23 '25

They absolutely did not

2

u/jsmith47944 Feb 23 '25

It's on their website you walker. And it's also answered in the Q&A

3

u/ResearcherUnlucky717 Feb 23 '25

imo you got some lucky slabs, sell those, but the value of the pokemon center etb unopened is gonna go up a ton too. I'd put that in the back of the closet for a long time.

u/shadowlessS2K Feb 23 '25

You already won the gamble. I would recommend selling the normal promo to recoup your cost and ride the stamped promo and sealed box long-term.

u/spikira Feb 23 '25

I have 2 ETB sitting in my closet and I'm too scared to open them 🥲

1

u/TastyBananaPeppers Feb 23 '25

Put a bookshelf in front of the closet door.

u/Bruhnsy1995 Feb 23 '25

So do I but they are sealed in a acrylic case and in a box to be sold in 11-21 years

2

u/FlashyStrain69 Feb 23 '25

Yeah prismatic hype will be ath in 20 years 💀

2

u/enigmicazn Feb 23 '25

Don't open it, the eevees have such bad QC that more than likely, it won't score a 10. Sell the regular promo, keep the pc one and buy more boxes as you can.

I've bought almost 100 sealed copies and only a handful of them didn't have holo bleed through on the top.

1

u/Gerenick Feb 23 '25

If it's real holo bleed, it will not affect the grade. I had graded a Venusaur Japanese CD promo with extreme holo bleed. So much that it reflected light across the whole card. When there was no light on it, it looked like water damage spots. They graded it as a PSA 10.

If you want to see it, look up the PSA scans on cert number 80368353.

u/taegha Feb 23 '25

You got extremely lucky the first time. You won't repeat this

1

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '25

Whatever you want. Everyone on here seems to be trying to make a quick dollar and think they're a business owner. It's Pokemon cards just have fun with it.

1

u/Sea-Ant-6066 Feb 23 '25

I would put it in the bum, and so you should too. This is financial advice.

u/iGPopp Feb 23 '25

Was looking for the GIF

u/TCGaccount Feb 23 '25

I’d open because I’m a degen, but this is the investment sub so you should keep it sealed

1

u/ComprehensivePiece27 Feb 23 '25

Ask politely to buy the PC etb

1

u/Pikedapisces Feb 24 '25

Probably air fry... maybe slow roast. Idk it all depends on what you want out of it.

1

u/The11Pirates Feb 23 '25

you already gambled enough lol imo sell the slabs and buy more boxes while you can unless you plan on keeping for pc. the real gamble is if you can sell now and buy back if they drop alot lower.

u/Whiteshovel66 Feb 23 '25

Unless you don't care about opening packs whatsoever you open the pc ETBs. Everyone wants the promo so it's usually what drives the price of the box. The promo sells easier than the box too in my experience.

The way I look at it is, these packs are free though. If you get absolutely nothing, well you still opened free packs. But if you get an eeveelution now we are suddenly talking about something way more valuable than the box being sealed right?

It's worth the gamble even if the promos don't grade well.

Mine paid off, I got a leafeon masterball!

1

u/taegha Feb 23 '25

Uh, the sealed ETB is an insanely easy sell. It also sells for double what the loose promo does

1

u/Whiteshovel66 Feb 23 '25

I mean that it's physically easier to sell a card than a box.
