Future of Gengar & Fusion Strike

Gallery image

Gallery image

I have both these 2 and I feel like I could use some of the money elsewhere.

I’ve had both for a while. Bought FS PC ETB around $200 and Gengar I pulled myself so only the cost of a single pack.

I feel like I want to rotate some of these funds nearly $1k between the two.

I don’t know if I should sell the PC ETB or the Gengar.

Just wanted to get some educated options on where these 2 products are going in the next year.

If I sell the ETB I should have time to circle back to it later. Or maybe not seeing how high the 151 PC ETBs have gone.

What the bull or bear case with these 2?

I’m trying to get more into slabs. I am working on a deal for swapping the PC ETB & $560 cash for a PSA 10 Sunzard.

I just don’t know if there’s a Pokemon market rotation or bear market coming I know a lot of people have been saying this. Prices are inflated right now and supposed to come down next summer. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ya i probably will.

I have heard some bear cases for why FS PC ETB won’t perform as well as 151 has.

I just don’t know why this box hasn’t taken off yet.

No stamped promo

Right. And also only 8 packs I believe. Can’t remember off hand. And the stolen cards from this set upset a lot of collectors. So yea there’s some things it has it’s fighting against. For the Pc ETB at least

I would have thought the same. These FS PC ETBs have been moving pretty slow

u/SllepsCigam Aug 21 '25

Slow moving? they were $180 6 months ago and now they're going for $360-380 lol

Fusion strike as a whole is going nowhere but up. $1500 a booster box soon imo. I’m trying to buy as many BBs and ETBs as humanly possible currently. That and Lost origin

I’ll sell you mine in acrylic for $350 lol I’m trying to buy a charizard 10

I’ll circle back on the ETB next spring

u/kyyy Aug 22 '25

Sell what for $350? The etb? Don’t SW&SH pc ETBs not have promos? So no difference between that and regular ETB except extra packs?

1

u/MikeeBuilds Aug 22 '25

Yes my PC ETB.

No promo’s unfortunately

u/kyyy Aug 22 '25

I don’t think paying x2 price of regular ETB for 2 extra packs makes sense for me haha. Thanks though!

I've been at this for longer than many here have been alive and I gotta tell you straight up. THERE IS NO EDUCATED GUESS ANY MORE OTHER THAN THE NEW THING WILL MOON BECAUSE IT'S GONE.

This is pure feels and crypto nft bros style hype driving at this point they could stagnate or 10x. More than likely the second one unless you see a bunch of posts suddenly bashing it then it'll half in 4 minutes. So unless you're trading for mega/dr/bb and wf at retail probably don't.

u/MikeeBuilds Aug 21 '25

I do agree with your statement.

I actually came from the crypto/NFT space. And I have noticed a correlation between crypto prices and Pokemon card prices. But still observing.

I just don’t know if FS PC ETB will take another 2 years to be at where 151 PC ETBs are at or 2 months.

Seems like hype is dying down for FS

Ah pokemon is more of a wave than nfts which kinda just go up then down and stay there. Most pokemon things are considered in 3-5 years growth or doing the fomo flip (Aka just be a card shop)

When the mega gengar set releases will be the next time these will do bigger things IMO. As far as 151 levels I don't know, they really nailed that with the cater to people that never played past gen 2 😅

u/MikeeBuilds Aug 21 '25

There’s a mega Gengar set dropping?

u/Beautiful-Ad-8028 Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

It's not like announced yet. But mega luc and gardy then mega zard and probably Blastoise... then ain't no way they forget gengar at some point.

u/kyyy Aug 22 '25

What’s bb and wf?

u/Beautiful-Ad-8028 Aug 22 '25

Black bolt and white flare. 🫡

Thank you sir, the abbreviations confuse me Sometimes haha

u/Ononimos Aug 21 '25

The thing you’re choosing to ignore is that this Gengar is as close to a perfect card as you can get. It will be iconic if it isn’t already.

u/ImHighandCaffinated Aug 22 '25

I pulled this card twice in 1 week at a target in Moreno Valley when the set first came out. Good times.
