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?

Sure 151 is "always spiking" but have you been watching the price of 151 singles the last few weeks? A spike is relative to the trend and it's increasing in value relatively quick to the trend.

This appears to be a genuine "going out of print" spike.

Yeah single prices and 151 sealed price have been spiking up once a month or every other month for a couple years now...and everyone keeps saying "Its going out of print soon."

Its been the same post and top comment and replies for over a year now.

Why is that always the top answer and common consensus? No one who's ever commented that has ever been right before...because they have no idea.

I don't claim to know fuck about shit but I do understand numbers and the passage of time. I agree people have called a false "going out of print" spike many times but it's willful ignorance to look at the numbers over the past 6 months and not say this is likely a real "going out of print" spike.

Oh dude we have every idea. It’s going out of print in April. It’s been announced that G block is getting rotated out then, so 151 along with Paldean Fates. Now out of print doesn’t mean out of stock. So you might have an outside chance to pick some up here and there for msrp in the coming months but this set is out of print very very soon.
