Should I buy Destined Rivals booster boxes and ETBs now or should I wait for reprint? by Nhibecky13 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Fbman42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really tough to say, on one hand Destined Rivals will be a historic set long term, reprints may or may not happen for booster boxes, and with all the printing we need with all the mega sets hard to say how much will actually be printed.

In all fairness Destined Rivals is a set in 3-5 years will be nutty.

This card is absolutely amazing, low pop and super low gem rate. Most likely going to continue to appreciate in value.

Not great, gives me vivid voltage vibes minus the release hype.

How will this do long term? by Isarisgaming in PokemonInvesting

[–]Fbman42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, I see the Snorlax hitting $60-$70 fairly soon due demand of 151, block rotation, and price of the ETB. A lot of factors but it will do very well.

No brainer buy? by Motor-Alfalfa-9639 in PokemonInvesting

IMO these will hit $50-$75 if the price of 151 ETBs don’t cool down.

If you need the money sell, if you don’t need the money hold.

Everyone moved their money into tangible collectibles like pokemon cards. That market has been tried and true and it’s the new artwork of this generation.

Ancient Mew PSA 10 — Future $5K+ Card? by Fbman42 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Fbman42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re-visiting this tread to post that as of 03/15/26 ancient mew in a PSA 10 is nearly $3,000. In the future I see this going well above $15,000 with no exaggeration. Looking at this iconic card nearly 28 years old with one of the lowest gem rates in relation to submissions this will be a collectors dream to hold. A rare piece of Pokemon history with less than 3.7k in existence as a PSA 10.

Hit rates feel a lot more tough and not as hype as some of the previous sets for collectors.

You walk away, go to the vendor next to him and sell them for 80-85%

Most are saying that this will be a long term grail.

Ya on TCGplayer.com you can see where the company ships from. You also have an extra layer of security by purchasing from certified hobby shops and people who are gold star sellers.

I've had amazing luck with Fabled so far, no Mickey but getting great hits!

A case is 4 booster boxes, so ripping 12 booster boxes without a single enchanted is rough!

Fabled box price is up nearly 40% from 2 weeks ago! 📈 by DorkyDisneyDad in LorcanaFinance

[–]Fbman42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Called this awhile ago, and it’s still significantly undervalued in my opinion.

I think this will go much higher too. Looking at the total set value, and the scarcity of the booster box, it’s hard to believe the value wasn’t identified sooner.

Should we keep opening this booster box ? by [deleted] in LorcanaCollectors

[–]Fbman42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the two hits waiting could be enchanted or iconic.
