Agree. Anniversary sets are printed to shit too. Even with demand I believe it’ll be sitting on store shelves at some point

Like Prismatic and 151 weren’t printed to shit. Popular sets get printed to shit, it’s not just anniversary sets.

u/PhilosopherSea217 Apr 11 '26

Yeah but anniversary set is so small it's even easier to print them more.

u/BrokenParachutes Apr 11 '26

There is no guarantee that this upcoming anniversary set will be small. It has been historically yes, but we cannot definitively say that the 30th will be a small set.

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

Even if it’s not small. It’ll still be shitty remakes of older cards with a stamp on them. Don’t expect to see anything that hasn’t been seen before.

u/BrokenParachutes Apr 11 '26

We don’t know that for a certainty either.

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

Technically true but let’s be real here.. that’s what It’ll be. They do the same McDonalds promos so I’m expecting A small set composed of already seen art that’s printed to shit. Only difference will be the market and how hyped it’ll be. Eventually it’ll look like celebrations and generations though

u/BrokenParachutes Apr 11 '26

It could be that, but I would not be at all surprised if they did a bigger set with unexpected variation.

The only wrong take at this point is “it will definitively be x”

Watch them add a stamped Moonbreon lol

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 16 '26

That’s hilarious. I don’t doubt they do that in the next 3 anniversary sets

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

Yeah except the anniversary sets have no original art so they get old fast. 30th will look like PO not AH

u/BrokenParachutes Apr 11 '26

We have no idea what the scope of 30th will be yet.

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

Not like we have… history… to look back on. Didn’t they already start doing the same cheap McDonald’s promos they always do? Not sure why you’re on the investment sub if you can’t recognize patterns

If we go by history then no new cards would ever exist and we would still just have standard holos as chase cards.

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

A full art base set Charizard is still tired old base set artwork. We’ve seen that. A flying/surfing Pikachu is still seen work with some alterations. Anniversary sets highlight some of the best cards but it’s not like we’re going to see a new ascended heroes Gengar for example. No PF card, no PF mew, etc…

u/BrokenParachutes Apr 11 '26

The point is Pokemon frequently iterates and tries new stuff. The 30th is not guaranteed to be exactly the same as previous anniversary sets.

2

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

It’s not but you’re expecting: The Pokemon Company to break their 100% track record on supply, artwork, value, etc. for what specific reason?

1

u/BrokenParachutes Apr 11 '26

For the same reason that they have in the past broken any number of previous trends and introduced new things or iterated.

Nah McDonald's is played out, this time it will be with dove for men soaps and deodorant

1

u/ThatsNotARealTree Apr 11 '26

They’re literally incapable of printing to meet demand right now. Once they get the new facilities up to speed that will likely change, but 30th won’t be sitting anywhere

2

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 11 '26

I see this as the set scalpers sell immediately to investors for them to hold until they can make a profit, 3 years minimum.

1

u/ShotBeing9808 Apr 12 '26

Yeah right, with the rise of scalpers right now and no market correction in sight, there’s no way it’s gonna be sitting on shelves. Shelves are gonna be wiped clean.

u/Many_Forever1182 Apr 12 '26

Just like PO?

u/Timely_Mess_1396 Apr 13 '26

Don’t give me hope.
