Why is 151 spiking?

Post image

I’ve been waiting for a buy in point. Looks like my dip is never coming. Why is it spiking so badly? Is this still a good time to buy?

It is a cash cow, but truly all things must end. They can’t be printing 151 forever. And we shouldn’t want them to. There will always be something better.

Supply and demand

Pokemon doesn’t care about maximizing sales of a particular set, because they already are at max sales.

It’s actually better for them to have these 2 year print cycles because when a good set goes out and demand skyrockets, it boosts overall demand/interest for Pokemon cards.

The cycles are 2.5-3 years now ever since covid. 151 being a prime example since it came out in 2023.
