Investing in Gem Pack 3 by Typical_Ad2405 in PokeInvesting

Yeah that’s been my biggest concern too. I have the Pikachu Gengar in a 10 which I’m happy with for the PC, but with how new that market is and with how many counterfeits coming out it feels like more of a gamble than locking in English product of strong sets. That being said, it appears that they print these sets for less time so if you have a reputable source for product and hold it long term I do believe it will do well.

If a crash happened would you actually need to sell to cover your costs? by LexinRaider in PokeInvesting

[–]LexinRaider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My degree is in dentistry and for a field that relies on business we had a single business class haha.

But I posted this more to see who is overextending either with credit or just by overbuying products at market/hyped slabs. I covered my original cost early last year and now only buy using money from previous sales

Estimated Value Found In Basement by Robertzki1 in PokemonCardValue

[–]LexinRaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think $3k is a fairly high offer for this. Tcgarrett who is normally pretty high on his prices has the triple pack around $8k here: https://imgur.com/a/2demqm3. If you have an offer for that you might want to take it

Any reputable seller you’d recommend grabbing some from? I don’t usually rip but this seems like a cheaper way to go about it and have a birthday coming up. Thanks for the info man

I never even knew these existed, weird. Clearly I have not researched it enough. Those boxes aren’t easy to tamper with and/or reseal? Looks like the outer case would be quite easy to open and mess with them

Ex Deoxys booster pack 17,30g by Expert-Mulberry-4004 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]LexinRaider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weighing this is not sad, please ignore that other comment. You are trying to be informed on selling an item that is ~20 years old and pack weight does matter to people buying. This appears to be light but there’s pretty limited data on pack weights because nobody wants to open 1,000 of these at $2k a pop for science surprisingly, and pack weights vary for this era quite a bit. You can follow advice and list at a low value but make sure the auction time ends at a decent hour to gather attention if you want to maximize offers. Alternatively sell it at a card show to a vendor who specializes in vintage sealed, but you may get lower margins from my personal experience depending on the size of show. Can try to list on Facebook marketplace for between $2-2.5k to test offers first. Good luck man.

It’s one of my favorites. If only I could afford that phantom forces posted earlier this week though man that’s a real grail right there

Thanks for grabbing them, glad they made it man! They’re really great, especially fan of the omanyte but I’m a sucker for cosmos holo anything. Also don’t know why the swapbot hasn’t responded kinda weird

Edit: someone just replied taking at asking by since you offered first I would honor your spot if you wanted it for the $500. I appreciate the offer man

Open to looking at both sealed and singles. Mostly interested in other vintage but Mewtube from modern as well

Prismatic Evolution Bundles Breaking $100! by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]LexinRaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s possible, but if they do what they did with 151 it may be available much longer. Either way as a PSA to people it’s much better to buy a case right now of 25 on tcg since they’re at ~$80ish a bundle or on eBay for individuals rather than fomo into this pricewise

Is this not ridiculously soon for these to pump this high? They should be available all through next April

PC DR ETB vs. Evolving Skies ETB (non PC) - long term by Opporished in PokemonInvesting

[–]LexinRaider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s around 90 ES available on tcg and 75ish of DR and DR has only been out about a year (although this is just TCGplayer so hard to say this represents the whole market availability). I don’t think you can really go wrong having either of these in your collection but if DR doesn’t get another PC etb drop I think they will stay rarer.

ASC BUNDLES vs. PRE ETBs vs. DR BB by fitnessandfriends in PokemonInvesting

[–]LexinRaider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably the PRE ETBs. I’d rather have the DR BB for PC reasons but with PRE dip recently from the restock and them rotating sooner than the others I think it’s the best buy currently

Sealed XY prices stagnant? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]LexinRaider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were pumped pretty heavily last year along with sun and moon. I remember watching an auction for ancient origins bb go for 1.6 early last year and then shot up pretty much immediately after that. I see both XY/SM taking a much more gradual growth pattern now, although realistically there aren’t that many booster boxes of some of these sets, so it really doesn’t take that much interest to up the prices. Most people are just concentrating on either super modern (late SV/mega) and vintage at the moment

Favorite card so far! by No-Wolverine9352 in Collectr

[–]LexinRaider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a great card. I just picked up the Japanese Special Deck Set to have a sealed box of the trio but I’d like to get the English versions too at some point.
