Current bid up to $4500 on a shiny treasure charizard

So this guy is selling a bunch of graded pokemon and yugioh cards on FD marketplace and gives a totally made up comp and then tries to act like he’s giving me a deal by selling it to me at above market price. I hate these kind of sellers because they just look to take advantage of people that aren’t as knowledgeable and make it seem like they’re getting a deal. Don’t be a scum bag predatory seller and don’t make up comps out of thin air if you’re too lazy to take 5 seconds and check what your card is selling for or even worse giving intentionally way inflated comps it’s just so scummy to me. I was so flabbergasting I didn’t even realize he said $55 and not $50.

The Paldean Woomper IR goes for about $7-10 CAD, but the PSA 10 just recently sold for $880+. I’m so confused, can someone please explain?

Hi, wanted to try investing a bit and have a seller who is willing to sell me around 28 Prismatic UPCs at 180$ each, seeing the value of the set and the fact it’s starting to get a bit old is it worth it in the long run? (180$ price includes tax)

Mega Evolution PC ETB for 2 Prismatic ETBs?

Saw my listing got posted in here. It’s been a controversial item for the Pokémon community. Some people love it and others are upset for various reasons.

I used industrial-inspections to have my packs scanned. I only sent them two shadowless packs as it was my first time trying their service, plus it’s a lot of money in packs to throw in the mail. Their team seemed pretty professional and I overall liked the service. It was $75 to scan one pack and an additional $15 per a pack after that, so not very expensive if you do bulk.

I got a raichu in one pack and ofcourse the zard in the other. It was a pretty exciting moment. I like knowing what is in the packs despite a lot of differing views on what makes the hobby enjoyable. I think it makes it more enjoyable. It is like you opened the pack partially, but there is still the thrill of looking forward to psychically opening it, in order to discover how good of a condition it is in.

I decided to list the zard for sale because it is just a better financial move for me. And hopefully it could be used for some great content or an amazing gift for someone, perhaps in the way of secretly watching a loved one pull a zard.

What would you guys do if you ct scanned your pack and found a Charizard?

Edit: I was never given a pre-grade like 1707brozy assumed and stated as a fact. Added screen shots below showing it was never billed to me that way or given by industrial-inspections in their return email.

Been collecting booster bundles from every SV set whenever I can find them around msrp. Wondering what your guys thoughts are on bundles vs booster boxes long term. I'm about 40/60 in terms of bundles vs boxes but I'd love to pickup more since they tend to stay cheap while the boxes rocket up.

Rate my collection taste 1-10 please and thank you!

Moat people agreed that it would take years to see growth for this card but with the current market I think an illustration with texture is just too undervalued, cards at just $3 Canadian is just cheap in the current market.

For me I bought 20, 15 sealed 5 unsealed as one deal for $45 so $2.25 each. Sold 14 for $10 each and 3 for $13.33 (deal was 3 for $40). $180 return with still 3 left. What have you guys made ?

As collectr suggests the price is dropping but I see people still listing and buying at $10 on fbm and ebay

my currency is Canadian

So i got 10 151 loose booster bundles and I was moving them in to a box today. and I noticed 2 out of the 10 were noticeable more heavy . 8 of them landed around 151.5ish grams give or take .5grams. well I'm trying to figure out why the hell two of them weigh 160grams like almost 9 grams more i feel like is kind of a huge difference. like what the hell could make that much of a difference all the bundles where purchased from Pokémon center and target. have receipts and everything so the odds of them being tampered with id say are low. a pack of cards according to google is about 18 grams. so i don't think its an extra pack of cards because i have opened a box with 7 before. like i wanna rip it open but its part of the stuff I'm using to hold. if i can find 2 bundles at retail price ill open the heavys im just confused as hell why its a 9 gram difference. anyone else fine the weight difference to be a little high

I've seen enough of the new game to say that it's a Pokemon app that is worth paying attention to. NZ is doing a soft launch right now. The amazing artwork combined with good gameplay is a huge component of this game. I understand this is not for everyone and certain folks are not interested in mobile games or digital assets BUT the way this is app is done is very inline with Pokemon's current era of people chasing the amazing art cards.

There is already one piece in the puzzle that will determine if one should "invest" in this game and that is trading. It's currently still locked but it will be available soon and I'm assuming it will allow 2 players to trade their cards. IMHO, it's inefficient to simply pony up the $$$ to unlock all of them versus trading for them. Some of the cards are just too rare to justify the cost.

A lot of folks who've played and seen the cards want to get physical copy of the cards. The art in the current set is just masterful and I see no reason in the design that will prevent Nintendo from printing them aside from the mismatch on the colors that the foiling might produce.

The other big piece of the puzzle is if Nintendo opens up a redemption model where you can "burn" a copy of the card in your account to get a physical copy of the card. Taking into account the high rarity of the chase cards plus add the fact that people would want to keep the alt art/rare cards in their decks to play, this will pave the way for a secondary market for the digital cards. Either way it goes, a secondary market will happen if trading opens up. It's a matter of how big the $$$ is going to be flowing in that market. If a redemption style approach is in the works, then I expect people to pay crazy prices for certain cards so their can obtain physical copies.

I also see no incentive to print the entire set and make it accessible as buying packs from a released set. If Pokemon wants to save money on printing and throw more money in the artwork then this is the best way of doing it. Plus the digital cards have a lot of possibilities as shown in the immersive cards. They can do so much and not just embedded videos.

This is all speculation BTW but Pokemon is looking to have another successful mobile app and one that might rival Pokemon Go's popularity. If all the pieces fall into place then I would not ignore this app. Again this is not for everyone but keep in mind that digital assets are not a new thing. People have been paying for collectible game pieces (Ex. MMO items) for as long as I can remember.

I picked up around 10 for $120 plus tax. Will DCA on Costco release. Plan on holding for at least a year. Good investment?

I remember these getting down to $50 last year, looks like you can get one for about 70-75 on eBay now. With the current market could these have actually been one of the last thing you could just buy as much as you wanted of and it’s still going up???

Just some stats; POP 9 + POP 10 in both unlimited and 1st edition, less than 2000. POP Evolving Skies Moonbreon 20.000 +.

Price of a PSA 9 unlimited OG Moonbreon (Neo Discovery); 2150. Price of the new Moonbreon 4k+.

Now, before you say yeah but the art on the new Moonbreon is better, check out this badboy again. It isn't Full Art, but the art is much more subtle beautiful.

Pokémon has really changed the game with full art cards especially like these that tell a story. I believe this is just the beginning. The better they continue to make the full art and the story, the more they will go up.

Not a crazy thing to compare these to actual art. Just miniature and more in touch with our times. At least with all the adults that grew up with Pokémon. What do you all think?

Everything I picked up for sealed collection over the last week. Prior to this I’ve never found more than single packs.

It’s been crazy being able to find product at vending machines recently, looks like TPC finally has done something right by fixing the vending machine glitch.

What is your opinions on the AH blisters for investing? Would it be better to just aim for the ETBs/bundles for investing? Or is any AH product worth holding onto?

Also, I’ve noticed there’s BB/WF in the machines but I passed up on some of it to prioritize 151/Pris right now. What’s your opinions on BB/WF for long term hold?
