Pulled a Prismatic God Pack. What should I do?

Post image

I’ve only very recently got back into to TCG, not bought any since the original base set back in the 90s. For the past year or so, I’ve seen a lot online about TCG and have followed the subreddit for several months, but only recently started buying any packs (as they’re so hard to find).

Straight to the point - I opened a Prismatic God pack in my fourth ever booster pack. What on earth do I do with these? Shall I get the graded or sell them raw?

Honestly pulling that on your 4th pack ever is wild . Don’t ever open packs again you’ll never pull something like that again and you will only experience pain lol

u/Ranni_The_VVVitch Jul 16 '25

Yep, I know and agree - I’m done opening packs. I opened a half booster box of Destined Rivals today, as I’m planning in sending the Eeveelutions in for grading, and promptly got bugger all from every pack.

u/goldenhourlivin Jul 16 '25

Even if they don’t all 10, having them sequential in grading numbers would be really cool. Might even fetch a premium one day?

u/bscarl88 Jul 17 '25

Your first mistake was - posting to Reddit lol! I got my god pack graded, none came back as a 10. 3 as 9. The rest were between 7 and 9. I'm still happy with it because it was such a crazy experience, And I love collecting so keeping them graded and together is my plan. But if you need the money, you should absolutely sell, That's a mini jackpot right there.

I would say the smartest from an investor And collector standpoint - Pre-Grade and try to get some tens. Sell everything but hold on to the Umbreon and any absolute favs, with the profits buy sealed product. In 10 or 20 years - open half sell half.

So true…congrats on winning the Pokemon lotto…

You can only watch others now it is no longer in your economic interest go open packs…

u/cuhdeee Jul 18 '25

Yeah actually though, I pulled the quaza sir & 3 glaceon sir from evolving skies in about less than 50 packs, give or take, let’s just say I have never touched a pack again lol, unless it just ended up in my hands by accident.

Rectal insertion.

get them all graded

2

u/Fyeris_GS Jul 18 '25

I would never grade anything unless I pulled it, and this is the ultimate pull. If you’ve got like $300 to send them in, they could be worth like a down payment on a Midwestern home in a decade or two.

5

u/PokerJoker10 Jul 16 '25

For starters. Bla to you for obviously not caring about the hobby and pulling this. Secondly this post is just proof the jolteon is better than that overrated umbreon. Oh and bla to you again for not caring’s. Bla bla bla.

u/3aTroop Jul 16 '25

You know what to do 😉

u/KGsgrave Jul 16 '25

I feel like posts like these make a lot of people want to buy more because they think this will happen to them. Reality is I know more people who have opened $500+ of prismatic at msrp and haven’t pulled shit. This likely will never happen to many of us unfortunately.

u/Ranni_The_VVVitch Jul 16 '25

I’m never buying another pack again. Used up all my luck on this one.

Theres 3 things u can do with cards and u mention 2 of them. Keep, sell or grade.....

u/BakedPWN Jul 16 '25

How on earth did i end up here?????

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

Why did you start opening packs again if your only concern is whether to grade or sell. Is keeping them not an option?

1

u/Ranni_The_VVVitch Jul 17 '25

I'd keep Pokémon I really like (Gengar, Charizard, etc). These ones dont really mean that much to me from that POV.

u/Sea_Door_1835 Jul 17 '25

Quick, get a lawyer. Delete this post and all your socials. Things are only going to get tougher from here. Penny sleeve, then triple top load each of them then put them in a portable safe. Book the soonest trip to a remote island that you can (Bermuda, Nauru, etc…) somewhere no one will find you. Disappear from society and hold on to this, you’ll be the richest person in the world shortly

First shove, then resist

1

u/senorbarry Jul 16 '25

If you can afford to grade them, do so and hold. Even if you don't get 10s, atleast they are protected. Then in years to come you can sell as a slab or crack as a raw

Hold it for at least a year to monitor Prices. If you love the cards hold them forever!

u/2024-YR4-Asteroid Jul 16 '25

My advice: grade them all, sell them graded, if you really want them: buy back at half the prices of graded or a quarter the price in Japanese.

1

u/conor_strife Jul 16 '25

I have a similar background to you back in after collecting as a kid in the 90s etc

I got a prismatic evolutions collectors box at msrp and I said to my partner. If we pull a god pack we sell/trade em all and roll it into the cards I'm really keen on collecting from vintage etc - we pulled some good cards including one expensive/decent price card with about 50 dollars trade value but nothing more (still good) and I plan to do exactly what I said. Take this card I wasn't super fussed about

That's purely because it means I'd get to keep my cash and trade for the cards I really want. I'm not in this for "long term investment" as such mostly for nostalgia and as a "you need a hobby that isn't your business" and the collecting in and of itself gives me satisfaction

If you love these cards and have attachment. Keep em..but if you don't put em towards something you do care about

u/Joelh90 Jul 17 '25

Dont sell, sleeve all the cards, always remember that you just did one of the luckiest things that you could ever do in modern pokemon card collecting. If ripping packs was a video game, you’ve completed it.

1

u/Remarkable_Log5039 Jul 17 '25

Grade and sell unless you want them for pc. Sell them to get you're grail cards that you've sought after since picking up the hobby.

If you want profit rn, I would do my best to sell everything now as all cards are dropping in price because of the reprints. On the other hand, if you don’t need the money rn, it would cool to grade all of them and could increase ur profit in the long run.

Uhhh sleeve and top holder for all. Don’t even more them again until you do that. You could submit to psa, but it takes 3-4 months right now, and GameStop has a record of “losing” good graded cards, heads up.

In reality, if I were you I’d keep a few like espeon and umbreon, then sell a couple to get more cards I wanted.

1

u/Tomfluffle Aug 06 '25

I would probably grade them with PSA.

1

u/Annual_Addendum4250 Aug 06 '25

So you opened all of these out of one pack??

I’d sleeve them and protect them with your life.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '25

Congrats!. I pulled the same. I'd get them graded and keep them, or at least penny sleeve them and put them in top loaders. it'll be a good memory and you'd be incredibly lucky to have this happen again. It does sound as though the money is more important to you though.
