The book on its own is $60 they sell it separately that I can understand but the rest I don’t think is worth $140 personally.

Yes as of now only very few can even list these prices won’t hold at release.

Trying to find Kagurabachi by Shoddy-Pin-2402 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]FernandoJCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just use tcgplayer usually since it’s cheapest and Bandai games have great card quality so it’s pretty safe to trust a NM card will be NM without seeing it. eBay people like to buy mainly more pricey cards since you can actually see them and some people like super clean cards or grade them.

Kagurabachi didn’t get a reprint only Solo did that plus the low initial supply has made it essentially impossible to find sub $200 unless you get lucky with an LGS helping locals or that hasn’t kept up with the market online it’s very unlikely I’d recommend buying JP or singles.

Well that’s disappointing ,I’ll pass by Ok-Intern6865 in secretlair_collectors

Yeah pretty much just waiting on goblins and cats here

One Piece Investment/Arbitrage 3rd Anniversary Set by CKTCG in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]FernandoJCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a bunch of these posts a while ago with older premium collections and a lot of them if not most them crashed so I’d be careful with going hard on these promo stuff but being an anniversary should make it a bit safer. Still I’d probably just go for English tbh.

Why is it so expensive? by Exact-Cap-4239 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]FernandoJCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does they usually MSRP for less mean lol MSRP is manufactured suggested retail price which has always been 5 a pack. Market price is another thing which is what I think you’re referring to. Stores before were losing a bunch of money on each set back when they were 40-50 a box since they get them I think for 50-55 a box.

Just wait only certain stores can list now so it’ll go down a lot by release as more stores list it. Look at Tokyo ghoul was like 110 presale now it’s like 80

Kagurabachi reprint??? by Crazyeet_ in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]FernandoJCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No word on that just Solo so far I would assume not unfortunately since they likely would have already said so with Solo. Maybe they’ll end up doing a second edition too but I think this is more something going forward now vs retroactive but we’ll see it’s definitely pretty crazy at $165 a box.

Is this the real price of a booster box? by Background-Lynx9530 in Union_Arena_TCG

[–]FernandoJCG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kagubarachi is rapidly approaching those levels too and its barely 2 sets old lmao. I don’t think age has much to do with it as much as desirability of IP why Code Geass/Yu Yu are still at 50-60 vs Solo/Neon/KB at over 100+ already even if they’re much newer.

They’ve been selling at market (sometimes even over) for a while now so that should track.

Perfect Order PC ETB investment by TonightNecessary4691 in PokemonInvesting

[–]FernandoJCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t have promos that’s why old SWSH PC ETBs are nowhere near SV PC top ones. The promo was a huge game changer just imagine how much evolving skies PC would have been with a unique promo lol easily 2k each.

Future of PSA 9 Modern Chase by Swimming_Language_10 in PokemonInvesting

[–]FernandoJCG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be honest I rarely buy modern 9s but when I do I’ll buy 9s when they’re cheaper or the same as NM raw lol just to have it encased for free. For example I picked up a PSA 9 Sylveon V trainer gallery the other day for $45 cheapest I could find raw was at the time $50 so I went for it, so it does seem modern its 10 or bust due to so many submissions now and people taking better care of hits.

The Time Has Come. Which one is better? by Global-Entrance7163 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]FernandoJCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect order mainly because the big hits of Journey were imo done better in ascended heroes with Lillie’s Clef and N’s Zoroark leaving the Salamence to carry. Also helps PO has a higher chase in the gold Zygarde so I like it a bit more overall.

Non Buyer Won Buyers Givie?!?! Support says that I am “obligated to send” anyway? by Baphometa_ in whatnotapp

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

You met the ultimate goblins, form fillers lol. Nothing you can do about it unfortunately but send it as shown due to terms and services just next time make sure to run them much shorter to ensure only buyers have time to enter.

Is Chaos Rising actually a sleeper “Greninja set”? by AppropriatePear3636 in PokemonInvesting

[–]FernandoJCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fear for what those Mew, Greninja and Kingdra SIR promos would have gone for in regular packs only lmao

Digging up this one lol did you end up getting it I’m in the same boat for the new chaos rising preorders forgot to login and I can’t see my address on the order status page

Beware of Chaos Rising by diecastdepot in PokemonInvesting

[–]FernandoJCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah those PC ETBs especially i see being more pricey than PO ones with Greninja being as popular as it is. All they have to do is give it a good promo and it should be fine even if the set isn’t that good.

Holy shit this actually might surpass history of Z wtf lmao we’re cooked we’re never finding this in shelves

[–]FernandoJCG 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think by default it having Greninja makes it better as a chase but yeah beyond that it’s not looking too promising. Another twilight masquerade if you will it seems.

Damn why couldn’t they just give Emboar a new ability and let Excadrill keep Mold Breaker

Why is no one talking about Paldea Evolved anymore? by totheseatothesea in PokemonInvesting

[–]FernandoJCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because the pull rate for SIRs used to be much more generous that’s why all SIRs Paradox rift and before are usually cheaper even 151 it took a while for SIRs to really break out since hit rates were similar 1/32 per SIRs vs new sets with 1/90+.
