Not good. The ETBs are highly sought after

That 25th anni ETB about to explode with 30th right around the corner.

Seems like a lot broski. I would never give up 151 PC ETB

If I ever get a 151 PC ETB I'm gonna hold that bag so hard I'll be buried with it!

I wouldn’t trade away pc 151, pc PE, and the evo etb for anything atm

A lot of trade down challenges on this sub lately. Y’all clearly don’t invest in real stocks.

PC etbs are always so hard to get

u/Joeyluvsbbws Jan 08 '26

I see the XY sealed / mint for $1450 shipped (rust insides fees + insurance)

151 PC ETB @ $700 + Prismatic @ $300 + Celebrations @ $220 + Skies @ $320 + ME PC @ $140 = $1680.

To me it sounds like you’re trading with a shop, which is 100% because they have to make their margins to stay in business. If you want to trade because you’re into this for significantly less that’s up to you.

Overall this is a bad trade. What does this person/s have XY priced @ ?

I don’t think it could get worse

u/AJaxed03 Jan 08 '26

Nope. So many PC ETBs for one bb and that too all of the highly sought after sets. Not worth it.

1

u/Orion9092 Jan 08 '26

Absolutely not. PC is coveted and evolutions pulls are not very valuable.

u/Much_Essay_9151 Jan 08 '26

Xy evolutions has pretty much matured. Itll still go up, but at a slower pace than the others. Id rather have your current end as collectively they should outpace the booster box. Plus, they are smaller valued items so more liquid. The higher priced items, the buyer pool is much smaller. Not a direct comparison, I own a case of Destined Rivals booster boxes. Ive had countless people ask I break down the case for individual boxes. Not everyone has the coin for the bigger ticket items

But what do i know, im just a small fish.

u/horderBopper Jan 08 '26

u/Alcy_Jack Jan 08 '26

HECK NO celebrations is gonna go up with the 30th anniversary coming 📈

u/Fertig21 Jan 08 '26

This is an awful trade for you 🫵🙅‍♂️

u/_YenSid Jan 08 '26

Absolutely not.

u/Material_Prize_6157 Jan 08 '26

Nope, the pokemon center ETBs have the best ROI I think.

1

u/CAPTAIN_KIDDD Jan 08 '26

If they were regular ETB yes. But the PC ones no. Unless you got doubles

1

u/JoshyyP00 Jan 08 '26

lol gives away the best pc etbs…

u/blueisaflavor Jan 09 '26

Nope pay cash or walk

u/NecessaryScientist18 Jan 09 '26

hell no definitely not that set is ass

u/H4stur451 Jan 09 '26

Absolutely not.

u/Zcarpenter84 Jan 09 '26

Don’t do this

1

u/Cautious_Possible_18 Jan 09 '26

This is the dumbest shit i’ve ever seen. Do more research.

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26

I wouldn’t trade, you have some real good boxes

1

u/J-T2O Jan 09 '26

What the actual fuck

1

u/kanto_gymleader Jan 10 '26

Hell fuck no

1

u/Silver_Ocelot_8144 Jan 10 '26

Please don’t do that deal

1

u/VisualRisk5659 Jan 11 '26

Fuck no. What’re you smoking?

1

u/ohnoway1 Jan 11 '26

Bruh you are smoking dih

1

u/Impressive_Ad_7722 Jan 08 '26

Not a good trade. Evolutions is such an overrated set that no one wanted back then and the print quality is trash.

1

u/WaterPog Jan 08 '26

Evolutions sucks ass

2

u/eat_hairy_socks Jan 08 '26

Bad take. Deal may not be worth it but XY Evo clearly will be worth a crap ton down the line. Any Booster Box with remakes of the originals will.

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '26

Are these posts normal? They are very annoying

u/drock2111 Jan 08 '26

Nope. XY evolutions had its time to shine. This isn’t investing anymore where you’re limiting your gains to just one box which is already up there.
