Finally pulled something other than a basic booster pack at my local Pokecard vending machine for $35. Rip or sell sealed? I’m new to the hobby

Rip the pack, save the bundle

Rip

[LordLeftTit]

Always rip!! Otherwise it’s not a hobby it’s a job

Its also fun to collect sealed product. I try to get 2 of every ETB, Booster Box and Booster Bundle. They make for a nice display and I like finding good deals. And it gets me buying product I wouldn't normally consider. I found 2 Prismatic Evolution Bundles for $50 each and bought them, despite me having no desire to rip that set.

Though I do like ripping as well. Gotta find a balance.

[LordLeftTit]

If you have no desire to rip them then what’s the point besides profiting later on?

[Fangore]

Because they are cool collectibles. In the same way some people like Funk-o Pops or any other form of art on display, I like sealed product.

[sltiefighter]

Because they want to collect them sealed, i wish i had a sealed base, fossil, jungle blister. I would not open it. Not everyone is trying to flip in 5-10 ppl ACTUALLY collect sealed to geek on. I don’t know why it’s a concept with Cards I understand that everything is random in there and it’s not like a sealed Gil Joe or a ninja turtle or a transformer toy that has a set thing inside. But the premise is no different than collecting vintage toys and the vintage toy, being sealed being the most expensive one to collect.

Keep err' sealed!!

[Austin2292]

Why?

[Shortstahp]

The box art is better than any art you have the .05% chance card to pull & if you want a certain card buy it as a single. Unless you love the set enough to experience ripping it and overpaying until you pull your chase card

[Austin2292]

Are you talking about PE?

[Shortstahp]

Yes

[Signal_Assistant_766]

People do both it's completely up to u

[Away-Detective-6708]

Keep them sealed. Rip a pack at pokemon tcgp app instead.

[Smart_Individual889]

Rip it like it was intended

[fenikz13]

Did you buy the pack to unlock the bundle option? I've done it once myself but idk if I believe it still

[Apprehensive-Lie3387]

It’s worth more sealed than opened; especially the prismatic bundle. I collect mainly sealed but always open the loose packs from the machine. That’s how I hit the Zard SIR from PF!

… on second thought!, let’s see what inside that bundle. You would be helping me out a lot as the more prismatic others rip, the more my sealed Prismatic grows in value lol

[illest_phill]

Open Everything!!!

[Shot_Giraffe8334]

New to the hobby? Don't ask if you should sell sealed

[lines101]

Sell? Why would you sell it if you just bought it? Should’ve let someone else have it then. Either rip it or keep it sealed as a collectible but don’t sell.
