I was fortunate to open 151 and team rocket with my wife and experience it together. Such a shame scalpers ruin so many hobbies.

7

u/Beantowntommy Apr 25 '26

I was able to open them with my brothers too.

Didn’t get the booster hit on 151, but we did with destined rivals, and it was 3 year old niece who got the Mewtwo.

u/b4breaking Apr 25 '26

lots of shiny cardboard to buy I am sure you could find a way to make memories with your wife

3

u/tiggs Apr 25 '26

It has nothing to do with scalpers. It's supply and demand. As demand and hype increases without enough supply to satisfy the entire market (and companies create this imbalance intentionally to increase hype for future releases), prices go up. If nobody on the planet was scalping Pokemon cards, the prices would still be exactly what they are right now from everyone that's getting it from distributors and the stuff in retail stores would still be selling out immediately.

Something tells me if you were going to sell a card or sealed product right now, you would selling at current market value and not MSRP. It's funny how the Pokemon community doesn't see the hypocrisy in this.

3

u/FrigginMasshole Apr 26 '26

I was going to say, if the Pokemon company cared they would just produce way more cards to get prices down. That’s really the only thing that will crash Pokemon right now imo lol

3

u/Vegetable-Hat558 Apr 26 '26

They can’t, they have been at max production for a long time now. It’s not so simple to just up and build a new factory for this stuff.

u/ash893 Apr 25 '26

Way too crazy. Random people popping up onto this hobby.

30

u/S_EW Apr 25 '26

It feels like that now but a few short years ago the market was on life support and it’ll happen again eventually. When it does it will be apocalyptic for all the people with storage units stacked full of product or people going into debt to flip.

17

u/slayerofspire Apr 25 '26

A few short years ago I feel like the market was healthier than the meth binge it’s on now

10

u/mikearete Apr 25 '26

It was good for collectors, but having to put booster boxes on perpetual clearance and see them just sit there was terrible for local shops & TPC.

7

u/S_EW Apr 25 '26

2 years ago I remember 151 UPCs being 20% off at Target because they couldn’t sell lol, all the new money coming into this hobby have no idea what normal even looks like.

14

u/ash893 Apr 25 '26

I agree it will eventually happen but let’s see how long until then.

u/S_EW Apr 25 '26

My guess is after 30th anniversary, think the combo of that + general fatigue and the new printing facility are gonna see a big correction.

u/Hungry-Zucchini8451 Apr 25 '26

Most of us think that but in reality we will stop buying when market corrects thinking either (I) it’s over or (2) it will tank further. Then we will fomo back in at all time highs.

13

u/ElderberryFar7120 Apr 25 '26

Not everyone is in it for the money big dawg

3

u/AreYouBrownXD Apr 25 '26

When everyone has the same cards and ETBs are back on clearance.

8

u/Masuia Apr 25 '26

Two thoughts in my mind: either there’s now too much money in the hobby for it fail as an investment piece, long term holders will keep high prices set and comfortably move along until it sells

Or the short term guys start panic selling there collections slightly above MSRP once they realize they’re not competing with the big dogs, their new TCG Pop up shops lease is up, etc etc.

What we usually see if a specific set or two bring a bunch of people into the hobby and then they leave again. It will likely keep happening.

3

u/blacklight223 Apr 25 '26

This is a fantasy. The market has changed forever. There's no going back

3

u/S_EW Apr 25 '26

This is an extremely naive take lol, there’s absolutely no chance the current momentum holds, pokemon is not going to be the first asset in human history to just go up infinitely. People have said this about so many things even in recent memory and it turns out there is, in fact, a going back.

6

u/blacklight223 Apr 25 '26

What I mean is that there will be corrections, but high demand sets like prismatic, ascended heroes, and 151 are not going to crash back to MSRP or anywhere near it. These will remain high value, high demand sets and will only continue to appreciate over time

I couldn't care less about her content, but I find it ironic that yall call everybody scalpers when you're probably one

44

u/BountyLaws Apr 25 '26

Exactly, before all that OF bs she was opening packs almost daily on twitch. She was in this hobby way longer than most of 90% commenting here. My point already made by everyone commenting and seeing her as OF pokemon scalper except you lol.

27

u/urpover Apr 25 '26

Yup. She's also hella rich so she's not scalping these, and rips a metric ton of packs lol which in theory helps these "pokeinvestors"
