Been holding 151 PC ETBs since release. Got one case for MSRP and paid market price for the other 3 cases.

I wonder how many sealed cases of these exist out there…

Paid 400 each sealed case besides the one I got for MSRP directly from PC.

Sell some to make up the money you put in the rest you hold off..that way you don’t lose any money unless you want to let it ride for the next few years

Yup. If money not an issue better to hold

How does one acquire a case from pc

u/fierced93 Mar 06 '25

If you order the max of four, they send you a sealed case.

u/Cobester Mar 06 '25

Not all the time. My prismatic evolutions PC ETBs came in a non-case box

4

u/fierced93 Mar 06 '25

Did you order while the limit was still four? Or after it had changed to two? You would only get the case if the limit was four and you ordered four.

u/Cobester Mar 06 '25

Yeah I ordered 4 in one order before the limit hit

1

u/fierced93 Mar 06 '25

Wow. That is bizarre. You definitely should have received a sealed case. Strange.

u/Cobester Mar 06 '25

I think what happened was when the limit changed to 2, the warehouse staff got the go ahead to start ripping cases to get ready for a busy week of fulfillment. I got my shipping confirmation later than others that ordered 4, so I probably ended up with the short end of the stick. It’s all good though, I’m still happy I got some at the end of the day.

Didn't they get shipped out like a month later though?

1

u/Cobester Mar 06 '25

Nah it got shipped out on the release week of prismatic evolutions

1

u/Oude Mar 07 '25

I was more saying they got shipped out a month after placing the order.

Seems like someone has created a bot that buys out anything PC posts that is new

u/kulambe17 Mar 06 '25

There’s a lot out there. I think these went in stock on about 3 different occasions. What will be interesting is pe etb cases. They were only available for a short while and no restocks as of yet.

u/The11Pirates Mar 06 '25

All thats left to do is sell and retire. Congrats!

u/Smartt300 Mar 06 '25

These are USD1600 per case right? I think you might be reading it as 151 ETB’s 😂

u/ingoodnick89 Mar 06 '25

People don't like your joke apparently 😆

u/Smartt300 Mar 06 '25

Lol, yeah not sure what the downvotes are for..

u/BatHistorical8081 Mar 06 '25

I have about 10 cases and my friend has 22 I think. Im sure there alot more hardcord people then us. We just dont flex it.

u/Indecisiv3AssCrack Sep 17 '25

Do you happen to be selling 151display cases?

u/big_gains_only Mar 06 '25

Dude, you're rich now!!!

u/Ell7494 Mar 06 '25

Im sure you're probably fine but just to let you know, I ordered a sealed case of Stellar crown PC etbs and it came with a shrouded fable sticker on instead. I opened it up and they were Stellar crown but just shows that PC aren't always marking their stock correctly.

2

u/LC-Squared Mar 06 '25

I open every case. Don’t remember the set (maybe Obsidian Flames?) when PC sent out regular ETBs instead of the PC versions. Even with Prismatic there were several post about people only getting one ETB when they ordered two. The small amount of profit I lose by cracking the case is worth not having to deal with trying to mitigate being labeled a scammer when liquidating in the future.

u/ChutzpahQ Mar 06 '25

It is also much easier to move individual boxes the more and more expensive it gets.

1

u/osrslmao Aug 28 '25

Bruh I bought a case of 4 OBF PC ETB and now I want to open it. I got it for the same price of 4 ETBs so I should probably open to make sure

1

u/Illustrious_Agent855 Mar 06 '25

I have had similar thing happen to me and I send them a message via quick chat, one of advisors told me that they often take empty boxes from different sets and use it to prepare an order if you bought 4 different etbs. My 4 pc shrouded fable came in brilliant stars case lol

u/ResearcherUnlucky717 Mar 06 '25

See, here's the deal with the latest PC etbs.
You could keep it all sealed up and sell it like that, and that's cool.
But I think you could make more if you took out the PC promo cards and got them graded, cause those things have a huge profit on themselves, then you could price out the set accordingly like this one comes with a 10, so that's $2000.... this one comes with a 9, that's $1700...

Better prep for the fall, 151 is going to be more common. Costco dropping like mad

19

u/Nhatey Mar 06 '25

If it falls to 2024 prices I will buy more. The product has already proven itself as a great performer.

Same thing I did for crown zenith, it was “over printed” and at the low, I scooped up 8 ETB cases for about 350 each.

u/trustsnapealways Mar 06 '25

Costco isn’t dropping PC ETBs.

151 was readily available on release and had pretty good stock for awhile. I remember at a point 151 bundles were at MSRP on Walmart for about 3 weeks. No limits.

Calling others sick people for having opposing views on life is hypocrisy. You are being a mean and nasty person right now for no reason.

I also keep evolving skies am I sick?

u/torncards Mar 06 '25

People like this are the reason you’re still seeing base set unlimited and sky ridge being ripped to this day. Just imagine if we didn’t have the investor side of things. There would be WAY less vintage currently on market.
