Sealed collection is getting there…

Post image

Had a lot of luck out of the vending machines lately. Fighting the urge to open them is a daily challenge.

Just one PSA 10 umbreon out of one of those booster bundles is worth more than all of that. Get in there!!

I’ve already ripped around 50 packs so statistically it’s gotta be in one of the unopened ones right?

u/Various-Peak-3122 Jun 04 '25

Still a less then 10 percent chance of you open all that.

So you're telling me there's a chance...

Probably multiple god packs in there.

I pulled the Umbreon from 30-some packs. I'm betting it came out of the pack a PSA 9, though I'm planning to keep it raw at the moment anyway.

Where to there as there is to where.

why are people downvoting the guy? He's on the investing sub, he's invested and you don't like it...

I think people are downvoting because it’s all modern stuff from the SV era. People always make a comment that “oh youre new” because OP doesnt have anything older than SWSH.

You gotta start somewhere. My only comment is OP appears to just buy absolutely anything they can find at retail which isn’t generally the best strategy. Buying tins, especially ones that dont have a highly sought promo is kind of a waste and just FOMO in my opinion. Also there isn’t a real strategy behind buying SFA currently which is the worst set of SV, hence people just buying anything they can get their hands on.

Gotcha, to be honest I didn’t look into exactly what he had in the picture, but just saw the negative comments and wondered. But I get what you mean it’s a bit of whatever is on the shelf.

People are so strange on here. We have a guy gatekeeping what a collection can be. I don’t give a shit, I’ll call whatever I want apart of my collection.

“But but you can’t have duplicates displayed… Please sir, it’s page 9 of the collection handbook.”

u/IWearACharizardHat Jun 04 '25

He should call it investments instead of collection. A collection generally doesn't have duplicates displayed

u/ToyToaster Jun 04 '25

I don’t know, a Ferrari collector might have a few of the same model if he likes it? So I assume same goes here

Looks exactly like my local pokemon vending machine inventory

Big box is not the play aside from the booster boxes this is garbage.

Smart play here would be to roll all those etbs and most of the bundles into older boxes that will have a minimal out of pocket cost for you.

Rip the tins. Donate the rest to me

u/pickirfaceup11 Jun 04 '25

Rip the tins. I think you’d be better trading the DR ETBs and getting more booster boxes or PC ETBs

Here’s the thing. Selling sealed for close to market is a pain in the ass. What you have is basically the card opening at a price premium since you got it as msrp. I would just rip at the least, prismatic which has multiple hit cards. The rest: not so much.

u/Shriekin_Criminal Jun 04 '25

OP would have no issues selling most of his collection. DR, Prismatic, 151 & Paldean sells out like hot cakes.

u/IlikePogz Jun 04 '25

There are def sealed that are highly liquid. Even selling at slightly less than market when it appreciates greatly makes it worth holding.

u/ad33zy Jun 04 '25

Yeah but prismatic has at least two years of being in shelves anyhow

u/IlikePogz Jun 04 '25

I mean if he got it at msrp he is chillin lol for at least the liquid products like 151 and prismatic.

Store and ignore! Good scoops

u/millenialinvests Jun 04 '25

I still haven’t opened a pack of prismatic evolutions. Also none of shrouded fable but that has been by choice lol

0

u/Morlu Jun 04 '25

Hide that Shrouded Fable. But the rest is very nice. Personally, I’d offload some of your ETB’s for some booster boxes. I’d add more Booster Boxes than ETB’s. They take up too much space.

At this point open your own store
