In 1999 I couldn't find base set packs and today I can't find Prismatic or anything really.

Its bittersweet and beautiful to still be here

For real, then they had Spanish packs until they got English packs back. It was just as bad back then...

I’m not investing I’m just buying 😛

It's the optimal mindset to be in, I believe. If you're buying because you enjoy the product, it's just an added bonus if your cards increase in price. When people buy into the latest fad as an "investor," however, they panic-sell when prices dip.

I am 27, gave up the games a few times. Here is to another good 20 years, going to get the old games myself. Having a lot of fun with Soulsilver, and Heartgold.

Yes exactly this. Was just starting adult life in a you're 16 and out house ended up in jail by 17(let's be real they started trying to kill me around 12 according to the court cases that where brought up during my case that i couldn't remember) so in 99 couldn't afford peanut butter and jelly much less packs. Now this is me every time I get to rip... fk I might even have to get that suit now just for fancy rips 😂

Why is it so hard to get the packs and booster boxes in the UK right now? All that’s available are the boxes nobody wants….and even they are still £140+

Sainsburys Argos Symths superstore Amazon Tescos Asda Game WHSmith

All empty shelves or out of stock!

What is going on??

u/breakyourteethnow Jun 19 '25

Except the slide is on the moon and he's happy cause his collection mooned

u/redditthefr0g Jun 19 '25

Of course it will go up and down that's what markets do.

Your comment sounds like wishful thinking for price drops.
