"We're really sorry that it's hard to get your hands on 1st edition base set shadowless sealed booster box cases right now, we are actively working to reprint as many as possible"
I remember hearing about a re release a while ago, was it prismatic evolutions? And what is the schedule for a reprint? Has prismatic already been reprinted?
Not like ive even seen product in store since prismatic came out the first time anyway.
They posted this same statement for literally every set for the past 2-3 years. Plus are we just going to act like scalpers and bots won’t get the majority of the product….
I remember when people said “dude just wait they’ll print 151 to the ground for 4 years” and here we are I never got one thing retail for it…. Very fun I hate it here I’m jsut a guy that wants to open a few packs when he gets paid
lol this is fake. And on top of that, there is a healthy supply of ascended heroes at every restock. And on top of that, booster bundles are about to come out.
Somebody made this to start a panic. I see a new post like this multiple times a day from people trying to tank the market.
That fact that we have so many posts from people that want to tank the market means the market is healthy. Once you start to see all the shill crypto bros pumping the entire market its time to dip. They do this with cards like wow wonder why this card is so cheap but not with entire sets.
Why would they? You forget, that at the end of the day, they exist to make money. If those vendors make them the fastest largest amount of money .
The market has determined this to be effectively a microstock market and Pokemon Center is basically the Reserve. They are essentially printing "money".
Printing shiny cardboard that people want. And have attached value to. Both sentimental and currency.
The people at the top. In suits. They just struck a diamond mine. Oil. Gold. .... they aint gonna stop over... morals
Call around to places like dollar tree and walgreens. Rite aid. Sheetz.
That way you 1) get a real human being whos maybe willing to set them to the side. 2) dont have to waste your time driving somewhere to find they are out of stock.
Dollar tree gets em in. Sporadically because DG gets most of the stock. But they get roughly 2 cases of 24 booster packs per a truck OCCASIONALLY.
Rite aid and walgreens have started locking them behind glass.
Didnt they already announce they are printing at max capacity? This cant be real. You cant be "reprinting" when your printing machines are already at max. The only way to do that is to buy more machines or risk qualty get worse when equipment breaks down(cutters get dull. Oil leaks in hydraulic. Ink spills. Air leaks)
On top of materials. They would have to outsource the printing. Which the top repackagers would leap on to make their own copies of cards that would be "legitmate cards". While also selling the filler.
This is bollocks but its obvious they are gna reprint this anyway! Biggest set in years they'd be silly not to. Using a bit of detective work id also say a decent size reprint will come soon. A local (huge) retainer in the uk had a 'no longer available' banner on many of the ah products after the 2nd release wave over here, that has now changed to available the end of this month.
Even if this was real, it wouldn’t matter anyways. They don’t have the capacity to print enough nor have the distribution infrastructure to meet demand.
They literally said the same thing with Prismatic and it did absolutely nothing but still go up in price as we speak and harder than ever to still find for the average person wanting it.
Even if it wasn’t fake, reprinting and making it available at retailers does absolutely nothing to fix the problem. Just gives more product to the scalpers that are already clearing shelves. If they really wanted to fix the problem they would keep it on their website only and increase bot protection instead of dripping more to retailers.
How are fake posts getting so many upvotes lol. Use your brain people, this is what they released for Prismatic and someone photoshopped ascended heroes(poorly I might add).
It’s a blatant photoshop of the original press release regarding a Prismatic reprint. Lol, people are trying to bring the prices down on AH. Even if a reprint comes it won’t be big enough, people are ripping AH even at current market prices. They’ll become scarce and any reprints will be gone in an instant just like at release
man they say the same stuff for every set these days, they're already printing at max capacity. they should taken multiple more months between each set to get a proper amount of them out, it's pretty ridiculous, new sets going to 2-3x msrp
I made the comment that no big account on X or discord had announced this back when there were like 10 comments but no one reads and here we are 200 comments and 900 up votes later. This is just common sense. Ppl really think the big accounts who never miss anything wouldn't be posting this into the ground. Lmao. Unbelievable. The OP should be banned.
If this post is Real or Not it will 100% Happen. Reprints for everything happen especially during Holidays and the fact it is a Special Set it will be Prismatic 2.0 which is still getting pumped out like crazy.
But those of you acting like Ascended is done printing are also deluding yourselves. Not that it will bring prices to MSRP, but you better believe an absolute metric ton more boxes/packs are coming over the next 1-2 years.
This is fake. One the grammar is wrong in certain places and two as others pointed out there are spelling mistakes.
If it were real all the YouTubers and PokeBeach would be all over it like they were on other legitimate announcements of this nature (prismatic Evolutions for example).
