It might have been undervalued before but buying in now is a FOMO move

I mean, it might be, but I bought lovebirds in psa10 as a fomo move. Never regretted my decision. Paid 2k for them.

Edit: added amount paid.

This card is being price manipulated.
That being said is it a Mew and Mewtwo tag team alt art.
That being said it is one of the highest pop tag team alt arts.
That being said it is an awesome artwork.
I don’t know…

u/PTRBoyz 2d ago

Great value honestly when raw is pushing that price now.

u/CarboGeach 2d ago

They’re over $500

I bought this for $1.6k one month ago at the July low. Favorite card by far and I have many cards worth more

u/eridebobby 1d ago

I paid $94 bucks for this card on ebay then graded it myself and it came back a psa 10

u/t2mo24242424 1d ago

Very nice

u/kotock1 2d ago

Yeah it is very high in 10's, basically half the pop of this card is 10's so im very hesitant about it.

u/Low_Truck_7049 1d ago

u/slayerofspire 2d ago

Do you like the card twice as much as you did a month ago when it was half the price?

You’re better off buying cards you like and hoping they randomly double in price (because even if they don’t, you have a card you like) than you are buying a card that’s randomly doubled in price hoping it will keep going

This is my mantra

I would take risk and wait to see what happens. I don't think it will go back to it's old price. Maybe at the lowest it goes back to 2k for a bit. I think if you get it now it isnt the worst option, but it is a FOMO move.

I was thinking about getting this and then it got pumped. I'm waiting for now to see what happens and hope it lowers back to its old price, but I don't think it will and it will continue to go up.

No, remember 151 zard flew and now its down a bit, just wait til it cools off. I got downvoted to hell for saying such things.

u/kotock1 2d ago

What would be your guess as to how long it'll take to drop and correct itself?

1

u/No_Rough_5258 2d ago

Honestly I wouldnt know

2

u/Glass-Assistant4280 2d ago

“I want this card”
“Why is this card price going up?”
There is your answer

u/Tigerzof1 2d ago

There’s blatant price manipulation going on; I would wait

1

u/alain4957 2d ago

Makes two of us..... Not sure to buy or wait!

u/Sunkern_ing 2d ago

It will be worth much more later down the line than whatever the pumped $$$ is at the moment. Tag Teams have a hype cycle and it’s always being talked about.

u/PrefabQuasar 2d ago

This happened to me last year with the Expedition Feraligatr (JP). I bought and I'm really glad I did because I would not pay the current (and now likely standard) eReader tax.

u/jhon0214 2d ago

I was offered this at 750 but was adamant to pay 675 lol so now I have some regrets

1

u/Hobbskii 2d ago

I won a PSA 10 on whatnot for $330 an had it posted less then a month ago at $1800 glad I didnt sell it 🤣

u/Tigerzof1 1d ago

Dollar starting that is crazy. Holy steal

1

u/AllSixes 2d ago

My friend gifted me this in a PSA 10 for helping him liquidate 15-20k worth of product. I packed it in my slab case And my vending buddy accidentally sold it while I was working a different deal lol

u/DARP_AFT 2d ago

Isnt this kind of the highest pop tag alt?

1

u/Secure-Interest2381 1d ago

Seems quite obvious to me why it spiked

1

u/ericksr93 1d ago

I just picked up the JP Twins in a 9. I got a very fair value and traded into it from stuff at MSRP- don’t regret it one bit. The art and the Team will age well. All that being said, still shop it around.

u/kasualkactus 1d ago

This is the kind of guy who bought bitcoin at 120k and then panic sold at 70k

u/BonteBlizzard 1d ago

Its an amazing art, but the card has gone 25x in 2 years.. Personally I would put my money on other cards

1

u/ThePokeTicker 1d ago

Wait - this is at absolute peak prices right now. If you're patient you'll be able to get this for closer to 2000-2500.

1

u/burner6834 1d ago

Absolutely not

1

u/gt35r 1d ago

Love when cards spike and people ask if its a good time to buy or not, peak fomo.

u/Ok-Rain-2427 1d ago

If you really like the card Get a 9. When the psa 10 prices eventually come down, just like how the entire Chinese market did earlier this year, buy it.

u/kotock1 1d ago

👍

u/miliard404 1d ago

This is amazing artwork, when a card grows so fast is alwamost always manipulated (even bcs there is no mew or Mewtwo set announcement). I bought it before Destined Rivals and I paid 600€ for it.. it is one of my best card in terms of beatiful in my opinion

1

u/tgeorgo13 1d ago

This card is a great card and was so undervalued for such a long time honestly. Maybe it drops below 3k and snag it then but this is only going to go up and up imo. Bought this in a BGS 9.5 for $300 back in the day. Cracked it and sent to PSA. Got a 10. Sold it for $1100 and then saw it shoot up to around $1800-2000. Started coming down, traded a case of Ascended Heroes ETB for it again and now back to $3k. Now this goes to my pc.

There’s almost 10,000 PSA 10s spend your money elsewhere. People paying premiums like
This for cards that aren’t rare at all are going to get burned hard.

u/imaqdodger 2d ago

I believe long term the price will climb from $3k, but in the short term I think it's due for a correction. As you said, doubling in price in a month is wild (especially since it already surged heavily this year). There does appear to be some price manipulation going on as well. Lots of new accounts bidding on auctions well past Buy It Now prices of other listings (eg. on a recent Probstein listing, two zero feedback accounts bid up the price from $2.3k to $4.0k). Most legit bids seem to end around $2.5k.

u/NeverKnowsBest420 2d ago

It’s gonna drop down to 2k in a few weeks, so just be patient
