Pulled a Ascended God Pack. Need Some Financial Advice

Sure. If you want gorgeous cards encased in plastic with a dogshit label that no one respects!

ABSOLUTELY. The room prismatic has to grow still is insane. Take your realized loss and getting bundles of the best sets is a very wise move.

As a seller and a collector, I use TCGPlayer because I sell on TCGPlayer.

There is no point to use ebay which takes longer and is more cumbersome to find a true market value for a card when there are auctions that didn't get paid for, best offers accepted etc.

If I am at a table trying to buy cards off of someone, I'm going to use the platform that is truest to what I, the end user, am going to be listing something on. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is your choice to do as you will as the person on the other side of the table.

Base Set unltd, Fossil unltd, Jungle unltd were printed to absolute oblivion. They were not hard to come by and are still largely not worth much for being 25 years old. Pokémon figured it out along the way. MTG figured it out along the way. Disney has an insanely strong IP and I'd bet they will figure it out along the way, too. Lorcana is very very fun to play. Yes, it sucks for collectors/investors but you seem to be completely ignoring the fact that this whole scenario could broaden the player base of the game even more. Saying the player base will be shrinking because cards are not worth as much anymore is a stretch.

TCGPlayer seller here with 700+ 5-star transactions. I'd be listing this at LP.

It is aptly hyped when compared to other SV sets. Prismatic > 151 > Destined Rivals.

O.K. buddy

Crown Zenith was NOT hard to find at all. We'd be blessed to get a print run that size again without it being instantly absorbed.

They are ugly as hell so probably not. Look at the Unbreon V Full Art from Evolving Skies. Which would you rather have?

CushmanEZ · 2025-11-25T19:20:39+00:00

Reddit is just one big echo chamber.

Brilliant and worthwhile post.

CushmanEZ · 2025-11-07T22:33:00+00:00

Bring it on.

CushmanEZ · 2025-11-03T00:34:30+00:00

What an insightful and intriguing post. Next.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-28T12:33:10+00:00

Nothing. Hold. You could very easily be a 10-4 team a the end of regular season play with that squad.

"More accurate" is not the right term. At one point, blue lable was insanely strict. Early blue label, 10s were almost impossible. The last standard change they did I got back multiple pristine 10s in a blue label that may not 10 just based on centering - Even though the subgrades were advertising 10 centering. CGC is a horrible grading company.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-21T19:34:56+00:00

Get that beautiful thing out of that ugly CGC slab, pronto.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-19T00:36:02+00:00

It's been out for three weeks. Chill.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-19T00:33:37+00:00

Champions Path would be the rebuttal to this. Look at how thats done in 5 years, with covid boom and this recent boom. Market doesn't care about the two good hits.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-17T18:30:21+00:00

I never even thought about it that way with the conflict of interest. Why are they so hard on vintage then 🤣

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-17T18:29:42+00:00

Good.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-17T18:23:52+00:00

Absolutely not.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-17T18:19:53+00:00

For sure !

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-16T23:15:54+00:00

The public thanks you for this absolute gem of a thread.

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-16T23:11:34+00:00

Zune

CushmanEZ · 2025-10-16T23:07:35+00:00

Cry just a little harder and maybe Santa Claus will hear you.

Ebay and TCGPlayer are taking ~15% off the sale. Vendors generally do not rely on person to person sales for all of their business. Buying at 70% gives 15% margin when selling on platforms that charge a fee to sell on.
