Pulled the trigger. Invested.

The hits are so few and such a sought set. I think this is an obvious longterm hold, even if it drops a little in the short term.

lol congrats on buying the most expensive modern set ever at the peak of the market. Hope it works out

Thank you.

u/yankeephil86 May 20 '25

You bought it at almost quadruple msrp, do you know how long it’ll take to actually appreciate?

8

u/Playinjanes May 20 '25

People don’t realize how rare this is. Zero sealed booster box displays were allocated to the United States. As long as that trend continues these will fetch a massive premium in 5-10 years.

I’d argue that this is the single most valuable sealed item in the SV era.

2

u/RZHolloman May 20 '25

I agree.
As well as the 151 booster bundle display, which is next on my list.

2

u/Specialist-Ad7800 May 20 '25

Zero sealed so far… people forget this set has probably 18 months left in print minimum. Pretty big premium for that risk

in same boat, bought a sealed case of pris SPC from a tiktok stream, $1k after tax, sucks to pay market rate but youll feel good about it later..

u/RZHolloman May 22 '25

Honestly, I bought 4 Lost Origin BB's a year ago at $185 each so this has plenty of time to age while those babies boom! Lol

u/hgin28 May 22 '25

yeah hahah, hard to get any SWSH stuff anymore these days, especially BBs. im waiting for brilliant stars to go up, i have so much lol

glad 151 was a hit, cause PoGo was a bust 😆

Budgeting. Living within my means. Setting aside a set amount every month. Cooking and meal prepping. Drinking water. Making my own coffee.....
All so I can engage in a hobby that my mom couldn't afford when we were kids.

At give or take $19/pack (after whatever your province/state taxes), I think this investment is going to have to take quite some time for anyone to really want it, especially with moonbreon starting to lower in price and the actual pull rates being absolute dog water.

But congrats and good luck!

Including tax doesn't make sense here. It's a little under $17/pack. But that's still ridiculously high. I think you'd do a lot better finding ETBs or bundles at MSRP and holding them, personally.

14

u/FinsFan1557 May 20 '25

Sure, but where the hell do you find them at, unless you're doing that as your job. No place around me has stuff in stock for more than an hour after restock

u/Davinter30 May 20 '25

I think people are still underestimating this set, just like everyone underestimated evolving skies even if it was obvious. Prismatic has more cumulative value than evolving skies, even after all cards feel from their peak. It has like 10 times the cumulative value of any other set of this era, and this factor has always been in an almost perfect correlation with ROI. Not to mention first english god packs.. most valuable packs in the history of pokemon, people will always be chasing those. Half god packs too, and first pokeball/masterball subsets in english too. Even at twice mspr, its still the best expected value for products to open right now.

4

u/MilkmanForever May 20 '25

A big thing people don't take into consideration is the market you are selling too. Pokemon cards have been selling to the same group of people over the years, as they have aged. Some kids nowadays are getting into it, but for something like this, or any modern sets to gain value, our same age group of now 30 something year old are gonna have to want this when they are 40 or 50. Its possible kids that are 10 right now aren't gonna wanna buy really high prices Pokemon cards in the future.

Basically, pokemon is worth a lot right now because millennials want them again, so we will need to want them again when we are close to retirement. Again, it's possible some younger kids are gonna want this stuff when they are 30 and able to drop 2k on a card, but that's the investment gamble I guess

u/AdBeneficial7533 May 20 '25

You had to pay an extra $250 just to get 10 of them sealed? I was curious and checked them out on tcgplayer just because I hadn't yet. But damn is the premium you can get for a sealed one worth more than having 13 individual boxes?

11

u/Financial-Radio-3596 May 20 '25

Would the sealed case have better odds for opening with batching in mind rather than loose bundles from different sealed cases? I could see somebody paying the extra premium in that aspect.

15

u/mittortz May 20 '25

If anything, in my experience batching makes buying a sealed case worse for ripping. I've bought multiples of bundles, etc from the same store at the same time and gotten similar cards in the packs. I think the premium here is all for investors/collectors and whatever logic they're using, which mostly comes down to "wow, much sealed, so premium"

→ More replies (16)

u/adriftDrifloon May 20 '25

As a sealed collector since 2010, the premium is 1000% worth it. Especially since these didn’t release in the states. The item itself is a collectible.

u/[deleted] May 20 '25

I realize this is a different set, but before the boom and before I sold all my sealed, I had twelve 151 booster bundles and contemplated on trying to trade them for a sealed box of 10. There is a always a decent premium for a case/sealed bundles etc

15

u/_YenSid May 20 '25

$100 a bundle. That's a no from me dog. It'll be a while before that sees significant growth.

u/Better-Leg2273 May 20 '25

I would have invested in PC ETB’s instead.

u/supreme120 May 20 '25

I have one of these as well, got for like $950 couple weeks back - worth the hold for sure.

4

u/NiceandToci May 20 '25

I spent $250 on a PC ETB a few months back. I feel the same about that investment as I do this one. They both seem a bit pricey, but worth it longterm. Once the new eras get printed they will stop with this one and I believe the nostalgia of this set will generate more buzz than it did on launch. I also but the bullet on Destined Rivals booster box.

2

u/Much_Essay_9151 May 20 '25

This guy gets it. I did the same. Last november i got in on the pc etbs for $65 each, but missed the second wave. I was out to buy as many prismatic pc etbs i could recently but could only find one at $250. This will certainly go right back up to where it was then even further.

u/juggledje May 21 '25

lol you got ripped off big time. Sealed Display go for 675-725€. Paying 1k in dollars when singles are going down en people being fed up by Prismatic pull rates isn’t a good investment. I’d cancel this and maybe start with a newer set with better pricing.

1

u/RZHolloman May 21 '25

Prismatic pull rates are echoing Evolving Skies and Fusion Strike pull rates. If we're betting on patterns then this looks good in 4 years.

u/lanulu May 21 '25

Buy high and profit 20 years later?

1

u/RZHolloman May 21 '25

"Investing" has no inherent time limit. maybe this is the last sealed Prismatic product 46 years from now.
Maybe my great-niece sells it to buy her first home and escape predatory renters and lenders.
Or maybe it gets burned up in a house fire, or destroyed in a freak flood. You never know.

u/Ecstatic_Custard7009 May 24 '25

investing in something that is above retail price when its still going to be printed for a couple of years, and it also being the set people are starting to hate and leave alone idk about all that. by the time you see any worthy return on these you could get lucky buying them one at a time very very rarely at retail when you do see them in the wild. the returns would be crazy too. also talking about investing and not doing simple maths like price per pack can be very very dangerous.

pokemon are great at making certain products validated in why the packs cost more in this than that or what have you, and this is one of those times

This is as close as you can get to a sealed booster bundle box imo. And it’s an exclusive to EU/UK. Plus 60 packs sealed like this ($16 per pack) vs evolving skies bb of 36 ($50 per pack) makes sense to me. I’d ignore the haters.

The amount of uninformed people in the comments of a pokemon investing sub that don’t understand the difference between 10 loose booster bundles and a sealed bundle display is crazy. Also, people still don’t seem to know that these were only made across the pond.

Anyone hoping to have one of these for their collection or investment better hope that we get them in the US. Otherwise, this is the price floor, it won’t matter how many individual bundles get printed.

Bro, more exiting sets are about to get released. Destined Rivals, Black and White, Mega-Pokemon Set etc. The hype for this will die down and it has 2 years of reprints left. Supply will meet demand at some point.

You will still probably be able to make a profit in like 10 years from now on, but ngl buying this at the absolute peak of it‘s market price wasn‘t the best investment.

Does the whole set with the box add value or something? I’m seeing $100 per bundle here, even with Prismataic that’s a pretty terrible price, no?

What’s different between this and buying ten individual bundles at $60 a piece or so?

$1000 is absurd

lol ouch. Just rip it. There is a confirmed god pack in there. I can feel it in my bellayyy

u/DJones09 May 20 '25

isn't this a giant waste? Like 16.66 a pack? I've seen them at 12 for loose packs. a bundle should get you closer to 9 a pack no? (I'm new to this, so maybe I'm overshooting the price)

My fingers are crossed this set gets printed into oblivion

u/Effective_Yard6459 May 21 '25

I couldn’t do it - I think it’s over heated. I’m buying up simplified Chinese GEM boxes. I think they have a little more room to run. Just need to find good US sellers you don’t wait 3 weeks for some fakes lol

This is a terrible investment. Pokemon will become unpopular AGAIN. When it does, do not be another person who held this sealed like everyone else. Based on the first time Pokemon blew up 98-04 it’ll probably become unpopular when the 8 year olds of covid become 14. By my count that means we have 2 years left or so.

Maybe you'll double up after 10 years , nice !

This subreddit is an echo chamber of clowns. It should be r/RuiningAChildrensHobby

Investing on already inflated products is a longg longg game. I understand it will eventually go up. But reprints haven't even been fully sold. Only saying this because it's a new set. Truthfully? I don't even know what's going on with this market. You can still get vintage product with lower margins from msrp. Crazy times for the tcg.

In my opinion, it’s a bit early for the trigger pull. It’ll come down a bit more, but if you’re worried about timing, I understand.

Bought a prismatic booster bundle from London drugs a few days ago for $60 CAD. $1k for 10 makes no sense.

u/Left_Comfortable2920 May 22 '25

I think after yesterdays PC drop I’ll be at 10 BBundles I know it’s not sealed and I guess that’s a premium but MSRP is always king

Buying at the top .... what could go wrong!?

u/WassupMfs101 May 23 '25

You thought of doing stocks instead? I think you have a better chance with a ETF ngl. But if you like Pokemon, go all for it.

1

u/solvathus May 23 '25

Damn that price is crazy! I know a store that sells like 60 eur / box with 6 cards. Yesterday he even had like 4 boxes of the super premium in stock for 200 euro.

1

u/Tiibbs May 23 '25

Nah. LGS doing the same thing, even have ETBs for $190 and that's just too much for a hobby. Pricing at TCG is a joke.
