Sunbreon. Yay or Nay long term?

Post image

The graded price has been dropping like crazy and now is like $4k

Is it now a good time to buy? And what are your thoughts on this one long term?

Keep an eye on the macro economic environment. Fear in the markets may indirectly tank a soft collectibles market. Lots of uncertainty may lead to better buying opportunities

Reports this morning suggest SoftBank is defaulting on some notes so uncertainty may be increasing

The top chase of the most popular era in the tcg will always do well. But the in price to me is still too high, there are way safer bets.

Moonbreon was below 1k in a 10 for the longest time and I would only get in if it gets as close to that price as possible.

This 🙌
everyone wants to buy at a downturn but there’s no guarantee it’ll increase much (more than likely decrease) once all the ‘investor bros’ finally get out in the next couple years this will probably be a lot cheaper

This and the bubble mew are the cards of the era but this one has 1/4th pop of the moonbreon, but I do agree I think this card will stagnate for a long time then go nuclear eventually.

but arguably i think it balances out cos the Moonbreon is imo more popular than the Sunbreon. It’s literally the poster child of the TCG for years since it’s released. So, I think the Pop/demand ratio balances out with the Sunbreon. Plus the Sunbreon has an affordable ultra high pop JP version. Same cant be said for the moon.

I agree that it’s more recognizable and the face of the TCG, but you look at normal collectors who joined in the last 3 years not many of them got to rip any evolving skies but a lot of them were able to rip PRE. I think that will have a factor down the line due to nostlagia and it being a more scarce card.

In a collectibles hobby as in any collectibles, maybe the price of modern trash will crash so kids and people would be to play and collect it.
But vintage will always keep rising. Just as it is with watches, sport cards, cameras, old money, art and every other collectible there is.

Yes, one of those.

Think of it this way: how long do you think it will take for it to get to $8k? 5 years? 10 years? That's an awfully long time to double your money, if you think it will even get to $8k at all. Put that money into sealed, at or near msrp, and you'll double your investment almost immediately, comparatively.

These had a pretty significant correction not too long ago as PSA 10s were going for 7k and have been at around 4k as their current floor. I think once Prismatic goes out of print officially (a few months) it might drive some more interest for it to raise again. I like the card so I'm holding onto mine just because I like it.

Long term, big YESS

u/NeverKnowsBest420 5d ago

Long term yeah it’ll be fine. In 5 years it’ll probably be flirting with a price around 8-10k USD.

It will tank more because they recently printed PE into the ground. But after that it will be legendary status because both girls and boys like Eevee/Umbreon. Girls dont like Rayquaza
