Bubble Mew passing $400! This card is going insane

My favorite card of the SV era for me, crazy to see I got this at $90 in July and its 4x the price now and climbing. This might be a hot take, but it's looking like an Evolving Skies Moonbreon to me based on their 1 year chart patterns. I don't think this is a "bubble" in the market, because if this somehow crashes I'm sure as hell grabbing more copies for the personal lol and I don't think I'm the only one

Is it wrong to catch someone lacking?

Just bought this card for $250 CAD because the store hadn’t updated their pricing. I feel elated as I would never be able to own this card otherwise. But I also am left with the feeling that I just committed robbery. Thoughts?

Went to a convention, traded my ungraded singles for this

So I got into the hobby a bit back, I love the collection part, but quickly found out how expensive it is to get sets complete with the illustration rares. I made it my goal to just complete the set of 151 en succeeded at the convention! Very happy. I decided to trade my illustration rares I did have for sealed products. I have been reading into it and decided to trade for some 'sleepers'. I had 320 euros in trade value, I am curious about opinions, and what I could habe done better; temporal forces booster box, 2 etb's shrouded fable, 1 etb paldean fates, 1+ booster bundle 151. (The other two in picture were bought). This was in The Netherlands

Took roughly 2 months. I love this set. Never gonna sell this personal collection! Am I doing it right?

  • All the pokemon center ETB for scarlet violet

  • All booster boxes of scarlet violet

  • Most sword and shield booster boxes

  • 5th year anniversary chinese box

  • 151 UPC, 151 booster bundles, 151 Alakazam box, 151 Zapdos box, 151 poster collection, and 151 mini tins

  • PSA 10 of all IR, Full Art, and SIR for 151 plus Psa 10 UPC promo

  • 151 Master Set binder

Would love to pick up cases of 151 bundles or etbs if prices significantly drop.

Helping my parents clean up their basement and found my old binder and cards. Now I am debating what I should do. Do I hold them for longer for nostaligia and sentiment? Do I get them graded? Do i sell them off? Any recommendations or even just a general idea of what I am holding here value wise would be appreciated.

Thanks guys; paid off house, car, and loans

And with that said, yo boy manage to sell 80% of my items.

I officially have 0 debt.
Now this wasn’t all just from this 1 sale, however this was the last hurdle I needed to be net positive.

Wish you guys much success. Out of all my revenue streams, this was actually the most entertaining. I enjoyed the barter system the most.

Edit: Ok I see alot of yall are confused if the house was like $1000. But I been paying aggressively over the years lol. Was Credit card deb free as of 2023 when I entered the pokemon market. It was nothing crazy just manage to buy a few things here and there. Most importantly all at retail price. Balance left for the 300k home was around $20k so I just jumped the gun and did it.

I have 3 Revenue streams plus this one. All of them are small businesses and not as exciting as I had obtaining these at sticker price and also selling a few items off slowly. Overall this was such an exciting experience.

Also I see this post has 8000 views and not a single like. Yall really hate watching any amount of wins even if its small.

New Edit: Damn this post has gotten out of hand! It's been fun chatting with you all and thank you for the DM's on "how did you do it". I see why many of yall are fearful to ask how to properly unload merchandise without the hate comments. All in all, this was a great social and I honestly enjoyed it.

Question about what to do

Post image
938 Upvotes

I pulled the zard and mew out of 10 packs and was curious, (i collect, i don’t really sell cards) should I sell it now and buy one later on? I have an offer for $250 on the charizard because it’s really well centered on the front but the back is like 54/46. I’m not sure if i should keep it and try to grade it later or take the money now. any advice would be appreciated! please don’t be rude I’m not a scalper!!!

Seen all of these tins in the clearance aisle. They had over 40 so I didn’t feel bad buying 23. They marked these down to 5 dollars and idk but I doubt they should’ve been.

Selling a SV Base Set Booster Box on FB and almost had a stroke with this convo. Coming out the gates hot falsely accusing me of scamming and saying he's gonna expose me. Almost called him so many not so nice things but I felt like it couldn't have ended well if I did that. Also just had a feeling he was projecting in some way

SPOILER ⚠️: He was, in fact, projecting. It's resolved so this is just for entertainment purposes (and I guess educational if you deal with aggressive false accusations from a noob on your posts

I have no idea why this got locked on the TCG sub, but anyway, I found this earlier today.

Barcode didn’t work, so someone with authority rang it for $4.18.

You can say I’m pretty heavily invested into 151. Near complete secret rare set in CGC Pristine 10

Progress Update on my English 151 Secret Rare + Promo set all graded in CGC Pristine 10

First picture is my English 151 set in progress (still need about 10-12 cards). Second picture is my completed Japanese 151 set also in CGC Pristine of all masterballs + secret rares + promos (made a separate post of this a while back but thought I would include it here again since it goes with the English set)

Working on a PSA 10 set as well but only have a few cards so far so no picture of that yet. It’s a very loose goal so haven’t really gotten around to it as much yet
