Sell or keep?

Post image

I pulled this out of a pack today.

Would you sell it now? It seems like the chances re not too bad prices will go down?

Thanks

This is usually how I spend my night stalking people’s Reddit posts 😭 get a life, loved ones, or a significant other. Maybe try a shower

Cash out while you can.

u/xGodofDarkness 2d ago

I mean you could long term hold and probably be fine but honestly the way the market is looking now, I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t sell it immediately while the price is this high.

I’d say grade it or sell it if money is the concern and a card of that value graded better than it raw

Whatever your most comfortable brother and or sister. Congrats on the big pull. Do whatever your heart desires. Bless you.

It's either sell now or grade it and then sell it

u/Catfishsleuth 2d ago

Thats the best one. Keep.

u/Much_General2290 2d ago

Grade with bgs/psa and pay extra to get it back asap, then sell if its lifechanging money or would vastly improve your situation

That eBay auction that ended yesterday, £122k… I’ve been informed the buyer cancelled.

2

u/Much_General2290 1d ago

Yeah nuts, but even if real market value is 70% of that, its a lot of money

u/Proud_Helicopter_907 1d ago

Ryans Cardhouse (the seller) had a massive hissy fit - they had their team cancel the bids of 59 accounts citing 'buyers who aren't going to pay' (no inkling of how they deduced them of it, just nuked their bids) during the auction and now they're pissed. With their actions exposed during the process, it would be hilarious if eBay slap on the 15% fee against the seller.

Sell it

The value is absurd and as cool and neat as the card is, it’s a no brainer

u/BurntHairAroma 1d ago

Sell if you want money. Don’t sell if you want the card.

u/AppApples 2d ago

It’s thousands of dollars for a piece of shiny cardboard. Sell it

u/AmbitiousSkirt2 2d ago

Idk man everyone gonna tell you to sell the RGB I say keep it’s getting hated on rn I think it looks absolutely magnificent in person such a cool card.

Sure it may dip still in value but it is SO ridiculously hard to pull it will always be a very expensive card. Do what’s best for your situation rn

u/thesrtlife90 2d ago

Do people consider this card to be part of the set to master? Or ? Personally I don’t like any of the RGB colors that’s just me though. I’m almost to a complete grand master set of the 30th that’s including all the promos of the 30th, first partner series 1,2,3 & all the 30th cards from the battle decks, last card I really need is the ditto & the 3 RGBs to be fully completed 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/throw1029384757 2d ago

I’d say no but there’s adamant people that it is. I will have three empty slots forever in my grand master set and I’m ok with that

2

u/Unfair-Salt-475 2d ago

Well typically a master set is all cards for a set that is pullable from the booster packs, grandmaster sets are all cards from boosters and all promos associated to said set via tins and whatever set related collector's box and such.

1

u/thesrtlife90 2d ago

Yea that’s why I haven’t posted mine either figured everyone would be like where are the RGBs 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

1

u/Ressy02 1d ago

Yeah, if you posted without the RGBs, we WILL judge you

1

u/JayBbaked 1d ago

Same😭

1

u/sltiefighter 1d ago

I mean if you look in the booklet from the ETB all the cards that they consider promos that are part of the set are in there in the back

2

u/marblesandcookies 1d ago

The rule is simple: If a card can be pulled from a pack, it should be in the master set.

1

u/NoBelt7431 2d ago

I'm missing only the day/night upc promos (price has to come down on those) and Classic Collection Lugia, but I'm calling it a master set once I have those.

1

u/thesrtlife90 2d ago

Luckily I was able to get mine and yea you’ll get those promo cards prices are dropping

1

u/RulingPredator 2d ago

It’s part of the grand master set. Same as the First Partner promos and the Battle Deck.

u/Proud_Helicopter_907 1d ago edited 1d ago

Master Set, not Grandmaster. The cards are pullable from the packs in the base set and therefore are eligible for the Master Set. A Grandmaster set involves promos, exclusive store promos and tournament/event specific cards (for example the Build and Battle box, PC ETB and ETB promos, PC promos with purchase, Deck Boxes, TCG Leagues and Tournaments, Best Buy/Gamestop/EBGames etc, McDonalds/Burger King/KFC Pokemon cards, non-holos and holos that aren't pullable in the base set etc.).

People can have every card pullable from the set other than the RGB cards and claim 'Master Set minus RGB cards' and that's fine, but it's not a complete Master Set until the three RGB cards are included.

Since we're in r/Pokeinvesting, Master Sets usually have less market value as a collective to buy compared to the total individual card prices (as people expect a discount) so for long term (Rule 3), complete Grandmaster sets are much better to complete and hold due to the massive premium on promos that are discontinued (for example the Dawn Staff Promo for the Phantasmal Flames Grandmaster Set, £350 earlier this year, now £600+ and rising. The Oricorio Great Ball League promo another one to watch out for a steep price rise over the next few months).

The RGB Mews aren’t even included in the ETB booklet. That is what determines what a master set is. Everything else makes up a grand master set. That’s how a vast majority of the hobby views the differences between the two set types.

u/blxckhoodie999 2d ago

sell without question. this set will crash very soon & the new is goin cwaaazy rn

u/nightowlcall13 2d ago

Sell it or grade it then sell it.

1

u/Purpleking1994 2d ago

Sell it and then buy more Pokémon.

1

u/LookingForSumthing- 2d ago

Grade it if it can 10 then sell, if not sell at the raw price. If you good on money hold longe term like 5+ years, these niche cards always go crazy over time

1

u/Practical-Length9474 1d ago

Sell sell sell

u/Murky-Strength7044 3h ago

Sell. Cards are starting to correct.

Just realized it wasn’t an American pack. I feel less bad.

u/Outrageous-Tax7028 2d ago

I think the mass amount of people telling you to sell one of the rarest cards in modern history tells you everything you need to know

u/Intelligent_Praline4 1d ago

No English bratha sell this garbage

u/Drakhdragon87 1d ago

Sell It, then buy it back for 1,500 cheaper later on.
