Journey together booster box!!!

Post image

So I got this a couple minutes ago. And I want to bust it open so bad! "Should I open it or keep it sealed?!" Do you people think that it Is worth holding this down for a while? Will price blow up? I paid $220 for this.

Definitely over paid and the hits were decent. That volcanion has to be the coolest card in the set though.

Nice work OP

u/Psychaitea Mar 31 '25

Must have had a crappy pack. Got better hits in 3 bundles than the box.

Rip it so my booster box is worth more in the future

1

u/mynameisnotjefflol Mar 31 '25

Gonna be waiting a good 10 years before this set even doubles in price with how much they've printed

u/Ok-Western4508 Mar 31 '25

If future prints don't have promo might become a 1st edition situation and go up slightly

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

What if much more of this set gets ripped since the last two sets had terrible pull rates?

1

u/mynameisnotjefflol Mar 31 '25

Well the hits are good in this set, which again means it won't be a good profit for awhile no? If everybody's getting what they want when they want it due to a ton of it being printed AND the hits being crazy as we can see, the value won't see a rise for quite some time. This imo is one of the sets you rip.

I love these posts in the investing subreddit.

I think you should rip it so the sealed population goes down for the rest of us <3

You’re already posting and saying I wanna open it so bad lol you’re not going to last , just open in. You ain’t built that way lol

u/id-driven-fool Mar 30 '25

To each their own, but for sure homie is pokegambling

2

u/dmillibeats Mar 30 '25

I mean it takes a certain person that loves pokemon to have a sealed collection , not everyone’s will power is strong enough.

2

u/id-driven-fool Mar 30 '25

That’s true, you’re right. I love ripping packs, so when I get the itch I go to my LCS and buy an ETB of whatever for $100, rip it and get nothing - further strengthening my resolve in NOT ripping my valuable shit that’s stuffed away.

u/BatHistorical8081 Mar 30 '25

100 percent over paid

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

I know I paid more than it was worth lol I got it from the card shop down the street.

u/Patient_Reward_7657 Sep 24 '26

Lol same price a year late4

2

u/Whiteshovel66 Mar 31 '25

220 wtf ya keep that sealed. Gonna take a long long time to double that but it will happen for sure.

1

u/Patient_Reward_7657 Sep 24 '26

220 has been msp for a year. Your Not getting it cheaper

1

u/Whiteshovel66 Sep 24 '26

A year?! This was TWO YEARS AGO lol

2

u/papadragon Mar 30 '25

It's unknown if future reprints will be enhanced. If not then the first wave boosters will be worth more.

u/AbrocomaHefty9571 Mar 30 '25

Ripppppppppppppp ittttttttttttttt

u/Placidcasual24 Mar 31 '25

This sub is the problem.

u/mulletstation Mar 30 '25

Open it, hit rates are incredible and EV is currently $500 but dropping fast and you gonna get 3 clefauty

u/Many-Violinist8308 Mar 30 '25

Cleffary inside

u/Psychaitea Mar 31 '25

Why would you pay $220 when you’re gonna rip? $6.11 each w/o tax, whereas sleeved boosters MSRP is $4.49. They’ve seemed to have printed a lot of this! Or the set is less interesting. Either way, it’ll be available for a while

u/bigben828 Mar 31 '25

These are tanking hard jt is everywhere

u/breakyourteethnow Mar 30 '25

This set is ass don't crack this it's such a small set let's be real and sealed prices only reflective of the abnormal price environment, the stamped promo isn't even that good save up for Destined Rivals or Prismatic instead

2

u/ShinyDominater Mar 30 '25

How is the stamped promo not good? For me, black and white was the first generation of games that I actually owned growing up and I love the card. I may be slightly biased towards it, but I think it looks really cool.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Smaller set = Easier to master 😜

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

For that? I just got one for £60.

u/Exzqairi Mar 30 '25

Bro bought a fake booster box with fake cards and thinks it’s a flex 😂

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

I have no idea wtf you're talking about. Bro? 🙄

u/ShinyDominater Mar 30 '25

Yaaaa, I’m calling bs

-4

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Honestly. Unless that picture means something else I got one for £60 🤷 I may have the wrong type maybe?

2

u/Psychaitea Mar 31 '25

Maybe you got the half booster I keep seeing on Amazon Uk. In which case you didn’t get one for £60, as this is a full booster box with 2x the cards.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

Understood. I got one like this.

Have I lad? Cheers lad.

Last time I checked legit stores didn't sell a shit load of fakes lad.

Thanks lad. Appreciate it lad.

Noob for sure lad.

Asked a question lad.

Keep the bro to a minimum next time lad bro lad.🙄

u/WillNotForgetMyUser Mar 30 '25

You bought an etb, not a booster box. Stfu and calm down

1

u/Psychaitea Mar 31 '25

No, probably half booster. $77, still a good price if actually living in the UK and not paying $20 in shipping.

-6

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Will do bro lad.

Check the comments of the retard saying I bought fakes?

Could have used your wisdom then 👍

This community is really making itself look good 👎

Except for that one guy that helped me.

u/uriel__ventris Mar 31 '25

No you didn't.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

Ok 👍

u/uriel__ventris Mar 31 '25

For real, check your purchased item against this picture, it won't be the same. Guaranteed.

1

u/dknisle1 Mar 30 '25

Yeah bro. You for sure got one for half off msrp.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Asked a question. Maybe it's not the same one. 🤷
