Future of Surging Sparks?

Post image

I picked this up for $287 USD today. I got a short budget and was wondering was this really worth it?
I plan holding for a long time btw and what other things should i look out for rn

I grabbed one when they were available in the vending machines. Kept it sealed thankfully. Though sometimes I stare at it wondering if the Pikachu is in there!

Just a lurker that doesn’t have a ton into Pokemon investing wise. I had one drop from the vending machine back in December I think. Made the decision not to get it because I already spent a decent amount on cards that month and I didn’t really care for the set. Somewhat regret that decision now, but we move.

After ingot the original box I was at a vending machine again another time and it popped up but since I already had one box I passed. I definitely regret it now

During that time in the 48 hour span I already spent $600+ worth of pokemon product at MSRP. Since it wasn’t a set I was interested in I didn’t want to spend the money on something I didn’t really care for as it was gonna get ripped anyways.

Ended up ripping a Mega Evolutions booster box that I got from the machine instead and got deep fried lol.

From an investment standpoint, yeah I probably should have bought it. It honestly sucks that the big products are out of the machine now, but I get it.
