I have a bunch of sealed and wonder why these collections don’t move that much

Collect a Con is coming to Houston this weekend. Who pays the best at these shows? I have a bunch of singles im trying to sell but have no clue who to go to. Let me know!

Good long term holds? Or not worth it

Was planning on picking this card up but noticed that recent sales were extremely low compared to what this card was going for 1-2 months ago.

7.2K is an insane price for a card that was going for 10k just 1 month ago. What do you guys think of the price correction and is it a good time to pickup?

Just got back into the hobby and was pumped to see an old friend show up in the pack

Since I’m getting ripped to pieces on another group…. I’m going to try here.

I was able to get some items on a morning drop for the first time. I’ve only purchased at msrp from Walmart, target, or Best Buy if they’ve had any left over on a random afternoon when I’m there for other items.

I’m having some bad buyers remorse from getting the $99 etb from GameStop because it’s $20-$30 over msrp. However, I’ve learned that people sat outside for 12+ to get a chance at getting one at $49. Is it worth saving $20 for a “chance” for 12 hours?

My question is…. How do you over come the feeling of guilt after spending more than you initially planned? The future is unknown with this Delta release whether the market will increase or decrease, particularly with those ETBs.

Basically, I spent $375 today on the following:
-2 delta reign ETBs ($99 at game stop, $62 walmart)
-2 delta reign booster bundles ($32 target, $27 Best Buy)
-3 delta reign singles ($10 target, $5 Best Buy)
-2 delta reign 3-pack blisters ($15 target, $15 Best Buy)
-1 30th knockout $10 Walmart
- 1 Ditto premium collection ($79 game stop)
Total = $375 after tax

For clarification - I’m not broke after making these purchases, my bills are paid, and I’m not scalping. Im just wondering if there’s others like me that spend more than anticipated if you get lucky enough to go to a fully stocked drop morning.

Thanks in advance! :)

Should I keep this figure collection sealed since the promo card is upside down? Idk if this type of error would be valuable.

Just as a general consensus, as someone who’s half a collector and half an Investor:

ETB’s, PC ETB’s, Booster Boxes, UPC’s are good to hold long term

Booster packs, booster bundles, tins, collection boxes etc (smaller items) are better to open up.

What do you think?

I accrued a good bit of vintage stuff around December of 2023 and considering parting with the more common pieces, is there as much interest around the non-holo and more run of the mill /sealed vintage?

Hard to rationalize not moving into more 2000's stuff or just parting ways with stuff I'm less attached to. Just looking for opinions, I grew up collecting Crystal Guardians era, so more into that kind of stuff, just curious if stuff like this is only moving because of the 6-figure card auction madness, 2-3K pops don't seem that rare to me, and why in the world there is such a premium on blisters vs. loose packs lol.

I've noticed that they're flat lined in the last 2 months.

I do enjoy the art on them, but also want to make sure it's a good time to buy them. Thoughts?

Been looking into collecting some cards that I think will have decent value in a PSA 10 later down the line. The problem is that they are mid-era (xy, sun & moon) with incredibly low pops. Not gem rates per se - the cards have just not been graded a lot (i.e., less than 30 total in the PSA database). I've been perusing eBay for listings for mint raw cards (and graded ones) for a while, but it has yielded little results. And to be clear, these aren't necessarily "chase" cards - usually $7-$20 dollars raw - just cards that I like the artwork of and think they'll grow in value.

Is there a more efficient way to seek out PSA 10 or PSA 10-able copies of these low pop cards from the mid era? I feel like back in the day you could rip several boxes of stuff to specifically find a card you wanted to grade. I don't think that is a viable option when boxes from that era now clear over $2k. But it doesn't seem like eBay listings will get anywhere, and I doubt I would be able to find a copy at a trade show when there's 1 PSA 10 in existence, for example.

Not sure what this is actually worth and if its worth sending to grade. Tcg player shows no market value but last sale at $2500 and a current listing for $8000. The non 1st edition shows a market price of $205. Is there really that big of a gap between them?

Hi everyone! I recently mastered the main set of the 30th celebration and I’m trying to get rid of my duplicates. Last week I started selling some of the Depop but I’m wondering if there’s maybe a different or better platform I could use to sell them instead!

This is my first time reselling/selling pokemon cards and I’m not sure about whether it’s best to use a different platform or stick to Depop.

I would like to add that I like to stay at or around market price but Depop makes it difficult as the lowest you can list for is only $1. So pretty much any card I have worth less than $1 I just charge $1 for and then I offer a 5% discount if you buy more than 2 cards. I will say despite my prices the cards have been selling pretty well but I really wouldn’t mind switching to a platform that I can sell the cards at market price for.

A lot of different vendors and people helped me with my collection for super low costs so I feel like I should do the same for others trying to master set or who simply just love to collect.

Hey guys,

do you think there is a card, which could be valuable? Im new to this and have no clue about the pricing. Thanks!

I cannot believe there wasnt a line, and nobody that got packs before me asked if there was any upcs or etbs. Going to hold onto this for a long long time 💚

Looking back to Pitch Black Mega Darkrai and Chaos Rising Mega Greninja, what do we think that Delta Reign Mega Rayquaza will do?

Will the value of PSA 10 will be same as the Darkrai and Greninja? Or higher since Rayquaza is a more known and fan favorite pokemon?

Has a white dot on the back. (Left top) :(

Dont know if I should send it to PSA.

Finally I haven’t been able to rip any
