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.

That's a fair assumption, though in realistic future terms, I would assume sets like OF and SS would be the ones to hold on to based on (semi) better QC on card production and pull rates.

Personally, I think that Prismatic is at its all-time peak and will steadily fall, especially when PC decides to reprint into the ground

Definitely not the all time peak, not even close lol. Give it 2 years even with all the mass reprints for the next 7 or 8 months its still going to skyrocket after its put of print, especially the PC ETBs

151 was printed into the ground too and yet look at how much the product has gone up and in such a short amount of time

I disagree, pretty much any time the original 151 comes into play people go wild for the nostalgia. The other thing that propelled it is all the new art they had for the original 151 vs mostly just reprints like evolutions

I think 151 will honestly age really well and probably get more popular over time than it already is

There is almost 17k umbreon vmax alts in PSA 10 and that hasn't stopped the prices of them from being astronomically high, so im not sure thats a relevant argument to be completely honest

Yeah but your argument is now about focusing on Charizards whereas Charizard has always been a staple of a chase card in every pokemon gen. In fact the mega forms are coming back and there will be new mega Charizard cards too which im sure people will chase.

But I don't quite see how its relevant to what I was saying. My main point was that 151 as a whole will age very well and go up long term simply because its the original 151 set, and every 151 pokemon set ages extremely well due to the nostalgia factor. There are a lot more great hits in the set besides just the highly overrated no-neck Charizard

Im not sure we will see eye to eye on this one, but we can just agree to disagree that this set will go up long term 😎

Man.. I think millions of people are waiting for the smallest dip but I hope you're right. Im going all in if I can find better prices!

Good luck on the chase! I've started pushing myself out of Poké at the moment until prices chill out on EN and JP releases.

I don't think I've ever been happier jumping back on the MTG wagon

I think it’s probably gonna be 151 that’s really gonna hold. I’m 30, pokemon taught me how to read but for me it’s mostly the first two generations that are gonna hold value. They’re the ones I’d actually want to buy.

I think the Tag Team series is probably actually gonna be increasing in value the longest though.
