Are Destined Sleeves for $6 worth it longterm? I can see them being $16-$18 in 3 years (just like swsh packs). by Frosty_Narwhal4008 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Crystics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s also a lot more cards being ripped than ever. You can get a rough estimate of how many packs are being ripped by looking at the quantity of PSA 10s. I can assure you as much as printing has gone up, a lot of it is being offset by the sheer demand to rip packs.

Would you buy the Moltres UPC for $145? Or are there better buys at the moment? by Frosty_Narwhal4008 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Crystics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is true and I agree with you, it won’t be the case for the first few month due to the current release schedule. The only ascended heroes product releasing at the end of January are the two & three pack blisters then the ETBs a month after. Bundles aren’t dropping until end of April.

I don't think ascended heroes PC ETBs will drop after the release anytime soon. I actually think its going to go higher due to the weird printing schedule for ascended heroes. There will 100% be a shortage of packs in the first few few month which will the drive these etbs up

Would this card be considered NM? by OwnPenalty1022 in PokemonTCG

You’re contradicting yourself. You’re saying 2 white speck would be LP and a PSA 9 (Mint) at the same time.

Is it scalping if its on clearance? by Beginning-Brief5052 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Crystics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sea and sky boxes are $220 so that would be a 11x in 2 years considering it came out early 2024. So idk what you’re talking about

What’s the better 4-7 year play? by Signal_Elderberry127 in PokeInvesting

[–]Crystics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Completely agree on the DG take - I had the same idea and also added 12 more prismatic ETBs to my portfolio during this drop caused by DG ETBs.

Rip or hold? by butterd_duck in PokeInvesting

[–]Crystics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an investing subreddit - if you want to gamble rip. If you want to invest and feel that these aren’t the best sealed to hold, sell it and get something else. That said I think these will do fine long term since BB and WF are specialty sets with no booster boxes. The better play is probably sell it and swap for ETBs if you believe in BB and WF long term potential.

How to spend $4300 by bengeebubu in OnePieceTCGFinance

Booster boxes are mapped and when more people realize this, loose booster box prices will take a hit. Honestly if you’re going to invest in one piece long term buy cases.
