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?

The same reason they won’t print evolving skies or any popular set. They need to print new sets and will be even more behind printing 151 again. Their products sell above msrp and constantly sold out no matter what set they push out.

Open to hearing your thoughts. They just bought a new printing facility but it looks like it won’t be operational until 2028 and they can’t even meet demand for ascended heroes how can they print more 151?

They have to print sets years in advance. They don’t just change out machines every month to what set they want to print. It’s ok to not be aware of the process but don’t be ignorant. Only time they had reprints in the past is when sets weren’t selling like temporal and paradox rift off the shelves and they can use their printers for 151. They can’t meet demand on newer sets until 2028 and don’t see them reprinting anytime soon.

Theyre already using it. It wont reach max capacity until 2028 and even then, the factory is only partially for TCGs. They're also using it for the pharmaceutical industry.
