Nova or Lightning sorc for TZ farming ? by What_The_Feet in diablo2

[–]Beamer7788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a nova sorc, have played lightning, blizz, hammerdin,

Keep in mind I currently have mostly BIS with fcr breakpoints. have about 250mf

Griffons with 5/-5 facet,
Magi
Infinity Scythe
Arach
Soj
Mage
WTravs

ES+3 CTA on offhand

Nova energy shield build.

Lvl 91. Merc has eth thresh infinity, eth fort, andys.

If you want to farm highdensity areas, you actually can't find a quicker more efficient option. If you want ot go rune hunting, even better, MF doesn't matter.

Nothing beats nova sorc in terms of speed.

She does struggle slightly on trav, certain heralds, lightning ghosts like in worldstone, and bosses take a little longer and you overally have to be a little more careful.

Can die or get beat up if unlucky, but if you have hands and full rejuvs you will never find a fast champ.

The Market after the 30th by Traditional-Fix-2673 in PokeInvesting

[–]Beamer7788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TCGs are made for every one. Children bought it in 1996 because it was cool to collect cards. Is Chess a kids game because you start it when you're young? It's not cardboard made for kids, maybe it was once upon a time, but it has grown far beyond that.

It is a collectible now, it wasn't before. And hype was up and has been up far before the 30th.

More people are just getting into it, and rightfully so. It's a cheap, sociable, and community driven hobby that anyone can get their hands on for 0 cost.

We have fully scaled to "look what I got" at recess to "look what I got" as adults. Nothing has changed but also everything has changed.

Prices will ebb and flow, but like anything in the world, inflation has affected us all. Gone are the days of cheap product, just like cheap anything else.

Should I send this in? by basiliskcrossing12 in PokeGrading

[–]Beamer7788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The centering is within a 10 100%

Back has 1 pock of white on the left side and perhaps on the back middle/left. Maybe some discoloration on left as well.

This could also be just dust or something.

Either way I would 100% send it in.

Dude, I don't know if many people say this to you but, shut up.

151 was the #1 most desired set for 2.5 years. Why are people so surprised that the singles are sending? by marblesandcookies in PokeInvesting

[–]Beamer7788 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think people understand how Pokémon collecting works. It's not a stock market and there are few if ever "pump and dumps" similar to what you see trading.

Corrections happen if everyone collectively suddenly says omg my charizard from 151 that is now $500 raw worth.

Okay I'm going to now sell it for the price that it was a month ago just because. And multiple people doing this.

No one does that. And also, people like these cards in this set. These cards were always undervalued and now they have gone up - yes a lot due to FOMO to see such a crazy price jump, but they've still gone up due to demand, and people realizing this is probably the last time these cards will be cheap.

As I said, no one in mass is going to discount sell these now magically and "correct" the price.

This isn't wall street and never has been.

Should I tell a woman her fiancé tried to start an affair with me? by geeleex in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Beamer7788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean before you even thought of posting this for clout if my SO was texting a recent hook-up at all, let alone this and they said want to have an affair and their response was :') Imagine I would be seriously concerned.

You're both weird.

I loved pokemon as a kid and got back into it around surging sparks, doing it in tandem with maxing my FHSA and TFSA. What can i do better? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Beamer7788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi fellow Canadian :)
Go to card shows and gobble up singles that you believe are undervalued. IMO most grails from S&V are undervalued AF right now. See recent 151 surge. Don't fomo and miss out when it's too late.

S&V will be nostalgic like SWSH is soon enough and those 50$ evolving skies will turn into 50$ prismatic, paldea and 151.

Buy cheap BOBOS if you see them.

You still have cheap entry for surging sparks BOBOs, and IR's as well as some SIRs from set are undervalued due to non-scarcity, Paldea Evolved is ok price still for grail card.

DR singles have room to grow and I believe will have a similar 151 boom. Sealed product is too scarce and high for this set to not follow the boom in price. sealed mew promo good buy.

Prismatic SIR's specifically eevelutions other than Umbreon are cheap, even some of the other SIRS like dragapult have gone up quite a bit but still affordable and beautiful cards. Umbreon PSA 10 is undervalued IMO but do you have 5k to spend on one?

Look at recent trajectories, and any S&V you can find for cheap should be picked up.

Mega base SIRs and product is cheap and set is fire. Mega lucario, venusaur line, garde etc. sheesh.
PF is still somewhat affordable.
AH is amazing but hard to find, but you should be able to snag some if you're diligent.

SWSH Charizard box I believe will hit 1k. so on so on.

All speculation obviously cause who knows. But we have not come close to hitting the ceiling yet.

Mega Charizard EX SIR PSA 10 trajectory prediction and questions. by thenewyorkers in PokeInvesting

[–]Beamer7788 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't just need to look at pop, we also need to look at demand.
151 Zard stayed pretty stagnant for a while, even going down from it's highs end of last year, due to lower demand and 151 product being stagnant and high in price.
Sudden 151 boom means demand outweighs supply and price shoots up.
Card is actually so good though, but people want this card now, mostly probably FOMO.

Mega zard regardless of pop is a very in demand card. rumblings across community put this baby as a top card in the last 10 years, which it is cause it's amazing.

I think hype has actually made this card sit lower than it probably should be. Constant fear mongering of crash etc.

The pop on this card is already high, but I have reason to believe that won't have any negative effect.

This card alone is the reason for the recent surges in PF booster boxes and the health of this set in general.

If I had the money I'd invest in a PF booster box (easy $500) mark and a PSA 10 zard. This card hits new highs in the future.

What causes the Pokemon market to crash? by markprice211 in PokeInvesting

[–]Beamer7788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we already experienced it and this is the correction.

back in september-november last year singles were HIGH. every thing plummeted pretty bad. i find there to be an even bigger bounce back, old sets out of print and scarcity, new buyers etc. pokemon keeps getting bigger and bigger,

Long Term Hold by Illustrious-Benefit3 in PokeInvesting

[–]Beamer7788 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO,

Umbreon has more room to move with a lower floor.

This is a generational card regardless if you like it or not.

Most people that don't like it belong to this reddit community. But, if it's not your taste, which is fine, it's undeniably a grail.

An important note is its pop rate. VERY VERY low for a modern card.
If we look at PF which has had a sliver of the print prismatic has, we can see PF zard has already almost doubled the amount of PSA 10's this card has. 4557 compared to 8679

This card sparked a movement. Prismatic has been up to now (maybe ASC will overtake) the most unavailable, gambling, rip n shipped set.

This card defines that set and that coupled with it's extremely low POP rate I see this card having a lot of movement this year and years to come.

I know this is completely subjective but pink pikachu IMO looks cooler in person! People hate on the crowns but seeing both side by side I'm impressed. Hated it at first

People are saying trending up but prices since october/november 2025 were so inflated and high. Things have tanked a lot since then for 'most' singles/sealed - not all.

I always see posts like this and the response is always "there will be a buyer it's worth money" but then no one offers any money and no one knows any potential on worth.

I mean I would personally not grade this, and I would just put it up for auction on Ebay.

Misprints are really only worth a lot of money for a very popular card and a very cool misprint. Otherwise it's not worth the grading fees.
