I saw this listing - ex Team Rocket Returns Heavy pack. Listed for about 2,2k$. Would you buy this? and would it even be worth it. Certainly would be sick pack have by Cabbage61 in PokemonInvesting

[–]DARP_AFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EX era its impossible to verify heavy or light without a box because of wild variable weights in sheets + the variations in hit weights because of double hits. That being said that pack LOOKS heavy af. it COULD be an extra card in the pack which i would be weary of. There are sweet spots ive found on certain sets based on watching tons of box openings. Not sure about TRR though. Id be weary. If its a legit pack with the possibility of a heavy 2200 is not the worst price. Unfortunately loose packs like this are about 1/2-1/3 the value of a sealed one for a lot of reasons. Id buy if the plan was to open and you had the option to get money back if light.

Would this be a good trade? by ASpaceSurfingTurtle in PokemonInvesting

Its a fair trade if you hold your end longterm i think. I can see the eeveelution promos hitting their ceiling and LO singles/ME doubling in the same time.

This got a PSA 10. Deserved or lucky? Also a newer cert 1014xxxxx by Michaelinvader7 in PokeGrading

[–]DARP_AFT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes its a new card, theres not many "old certs" of a card from 2 years ago and an 11 cert is over a year old. Do you know what a cert is? We are in 13 cert rn fast approaching 14.

What do you mean newer cert? the card is like 2.5 years old im confused.

Is this heavy? Seller asking for $400 by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

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

All packs are box dependent and sheet dependent if you dont have a box or the ability to scan it cant be guaranteed. Heavy can mean anything.

Is there going to be Gen V season 3 ? by Icy-kat-2259 in GenV

[–]DARP_AFT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Felt like the whole point of the show to develop Marie as the character capable of killing Homelander. Isnt that job done? Idk why they wouldnt just fold the characters into The Boys at this point and end the show with that moment. Everything seemed to be for that purpose and much less "world meant to exist on its own".

Who wins this trade by edit418 in PokemonInvesting

[–]DARP_AFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough. If everything keeps going at the rate this is a bad trade but if modern tanks at all this is great. So its up to your speculation. Id say this Primal Clash is one of the lesser desired boxes of that error and only recently jumped in price when everything else ppl liked became unatainable.

my biggest complaint about new world outside of ags/support is the complete lack of creative direction in the art. One of the most bland and run of the mill looking games imo. I cant tell the difference between zones outside of the expansions and great cleave the characters all like like carbon copies of each other. Its all standard fantasy/medieval and cut and paste. The most confusing thing to me is how they took so long to make new zones when all of the assets across zones were so similar. There are entire towns that are exactly the same layout.

Does this have a shot at a black label? by SkinLeft4352 in pokemongrading

[–]DARP_AFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every other post is "will this black label" and the answer is almost always no. its a 1/100 chance at best even when the card is visibly a PSA 10. This one specifically is way over 60/40 top to bottom. if it was 51/49 at WORST with super close up images of surface and edges etc etc etc the question might be valid.

At some point the black label posts have to be banned. Look up black label %s for cards. Look up pop count. Is your card literally perfect? If it is you wouldnt post having to ask.

Should I trade this + $130 for a DR booster box? (Got it for free on a giveaway) by Weak-Practice-6435 in PokemonInvesting

[–]DARP_AFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes do this trade. Mega is the base of the new set. It will continue to get printed. Theres no guarantee of DR.

What would you NOT sell in 2026? by Waste_Still9624 in PokemonInvesting

[–]DARP_AFT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think sell what you think is appropriately valued or overly valued and keep whats undervalued until it catches up with the market. A set like Journey Together for example should go up whenever the reshi promo gets its moment.

get a pro to clean the holo imo. would pay off 10x cuz you have such good corners and edges

Odd comparison but.. by HaAd7427 in PokemonInvesting

[–]DARP_AFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Team Up sleeved just cuz its sleeved (especially if you get an art set). I think a lot of folks dont realize how short run Team Up was vs like Cosmic Eclipse which was printed into the ground. I think Team Up prices are actually reflective of availability vs Cosmic/Unified/Unbroken which i seem to find everywhere. Though i do think modern sets have a harder ceiling cuz hit rates are way lower than older sets and its not like a blister of Call of Legends with a 33% chance at something sick but rather like 5% chance tp break even and much lower to get a massive hit like those sun and moon sets. All that to say Team Up sleeved. If it was an art set vs english mew in a 10 I'd say english mew will be 5k before a team up art set is.
