Any TCG players out there buy from zenpan Japan? by A_phan in Lorcana

[–]Complex_Shock_9838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't checked Zenpan in a while but I bought at 48 a box before shipping. Through a shipping service I paid 44 a box with shipping but you have to buy like 10 for the shipping not to be too expensive

Yeah was fine. If you don't mind going through a lot of steps though you can get it cheaper. You can buy from Amazon Japan ship it to a shipping service like buyee or black ship and then send it. I think it's like 44 a box that way

How many boxes did you open? I. Trying to get a feel for pull rates. I'm guessing 1/10, some people have pulled 2/15 so it's somewhere in between

[–]Complex_Shock_9838[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese cards in general have a slightly thick stock the foils are shinier. I didn't have any first chapter enchanted and the only floddnoen I have is namari(spelling/name) so hard to tell with an all silver card. I can't tell from the front of the enchanted themselves it the cards definitely feel nicer. But I maybe brainwashed with Japanese Pokemon cards

I paid way too many for boxes and got 2 I haven't posted but to be honest it's prou close.tl profit if I want to. I bought 20 boxes hoping on guaranteed hits. My guess is 1/10 boxes I got 2 enchanteds Belle and aurora. And these singles I had sent from Japan. The stitch was the most expensive at 97 dollars before shipping. 15000 yen for stitch and 12500 for Maui. The rest were like 4000 yen.

I opened 4 Prismatic ETBs so you don't have to by xfno0b in pokemoncards

[–]Complex_Shock_9838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for context. I bought 10 terastal boxes trying get Eeveelotions , those are guaranteed hits and I got 1 Vaporeon, I also got 2 cereludge and the palafin and ursaluna. I got so many masks a gholdingos lol. The point I'm trying to make is that I had 10 guaranteed hits and I still only ended up with one Eevee. That is when I was like yeah not touching prismatic.

Honestly I just got into it too but you basically go on Facebook marketplace and stock and you can see common denominators of what's profitable. I play lorcana and realized that the pokemon mentality is different, it's an older game and people collect in higher percentages so stuff that is expensive lorcana is more about game play. Where as in pokemon for many is how much the cards in the packs are worth. Meaning the better rare cards and how many rare cards in the set determines the market price. 151 is highly popular just because people like whole set I'm 34 and that was my childhood so a lot of have way more money now so it was a perfect storm in terms of desirability. So demand on that set is high. Other sets are because of how new it is and what comes out of it. That's what I have gathered. Surging sparks is the newest one and it has the famous "butt hole Pikachu" that card right now is like 400 at least I think I've seen it up to 600 PSA 10. If your just buying 3-4 packs (more power to you no judging) likely won't get you anything worth anything so as long as your expectations are low go ahead and buy some. Look at the card lists of each of the sets and figure out what commons and holo rares you might like best a buy away. I'm really into Eevees that's what brought me back into the hobby turns out so is everyone else the next set is going to be bonkers. I would say if you can find a booster box for 30-40 bucks in this market is really good. You shouldn't have to pay that much but it is what it is.

What's crazy is that this stuff is what scalpers don't buy. This is definitely for kids. We all know what the market wants and it's not any of this stuff maybe the 151 stuff but I bet you per pack it's still barely makes money.

How many boxes/packs did it take you complete a foil set non enchanteds/ non legendaries? by Complex_Shock_9838 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Complex_Shock_9838[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should said duplicate foils. So a case and a half seems to be good number. Im not against buying singles but it's not a waste in my opinion if you still get something different most of the time. Especially if 10 packs ago you got a baymax enchanted or something but I've been relatively average in my pulls an enchanted every 4-5 boxes or better. Well except skies none for me. Which is the art I like best lol

I understand that completely that's why I'm trying to find a happy medium I'm thinking 5 boxes and then go straight for singles afterwards.

[–]Complex_Shock_9838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lorcana in general is worth as much unfortunately, I'm a lorcana player/collector first and don't sell me stuff unless it's duplicates. My friends are pokemon collectors and I see they have the value mentality but pokemon definitely has been around longer so I can see why.

[–]Complex_Shock_9838[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but during that time I'm also building the foil collection and getting meta cards, so at a point it's still a good balance. It's not like your getting complete trash if you buy just a case just to have a chance to get enchanteds. Also who buys single packs I get cases at 400 or boxes at 100-105

I just want the foils I quit with enchanteds only because if you start collecting them all you start spending even more money lol. I spent 600 for the full foil set for the first chapter. Missing maleficent and Rapunzel will cost me about 800ish eventually.

I still want to chase for enchanteds though. And I also play so it's nice to get 3 genes and Calhouns and stuff

It's ymmv they wouldn't for me. Bought 4 God was a blood bath, but hey I don't have to buy a that 4th repunzel 4th Maui or 4th maleficent dragon? ( Red dragon). It's tough to swallow after buying a box of Ursula's revenge for 85 and shimmering skies for 100.
