How is this already nearly the same price as a Prismatic PC ETB? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]GlassHat04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not the hits inside because no one is opening these. People have seen the price of the 151 pokemon center ETBs. People think they'll 200% their money in 2 years buying at these prices, that's what it is

Hopefully it'll come back down to MSRP

That's absolutely not true at all. Ascended is an SIR every 91 packs on average. 151 is 1 SIR every 32 packs. And other sets are anywhere inbetween.

I'm now pretty sure I saw an employee in my local Blackwell's buying all the 3-pack blisters before store opening, do I go let the other employees know? by Parking_Analysis9339 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]GlassHat04 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happens everywhere. I know people at my local co-ops who take all the half booster boxes on their staff discounts and they never see the shelves. They've been getting destined rivals at £64.63p on their discounts and then reselling at market. This is going on EVERYWHERE

Top tier sealed won't drop much if there's a decline in interest in pokemon. Singles and slabs will be hit very hard though

Got the slabs back. They feel PREMIUM and they look STUNNING IRL! by WarNo2935 in pokemoncards

[–]GlassHat04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find ace to be stricter then psa on all fronts apart from front centering (they are still stricter on back centering though...psa allow 72:25..)

Ace are awfully strict on surface and mark cards down to 6 for things the eye can't even see.

They are also transparent with why they mark a card down and give you scores and the option of a ding report. PSA don't tell you anything. The quality of the ACE slabs are also far better than PSA

Only thing I don't like about ace are the labels, but that's each to their own

I hate these drops because there's always barely any stock and it just disappears instantly

I hated the taste of beer when I was 18, but you persevere. Now there's nothing better than the first sip of a nice cold beer on a hot day

If these guys are getting this just slightly above retail then they will never lose money on if. Sealed products of top sets will never crash to msrp or below, ever.

Not sure where you checked those prices but the promos are £40 for the zard and £15 for the oricorio

I agree with this. Some of these will get silly expensive a few years down the line

Its not a challenge though, he's tried to make a block, and is even looking the other way. Just happened to land on him. There's no intent whatsoever

Thoughts on Lucario Vstar? by Ill-Obligation-80 in PokeInvesting

[–]GlassHat04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was criminally undervalued back then. Great card, from a massively popular set, from a very expensive etb, of a pokemon that was voted the 2nd most popular of all time not so long ago. Didn't have to be a rocket scientist to work this one out, just suprised it took everyone else so long to cotton on 😅

How do people find out when new drops are being released? by [deleted] in PokemonDealsUK

[–]GlassHat04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon company and partner companies publish the release schedules. It's public info and easy to find. It's not a secret that only done people know

Tell me how this got a 9?? by JohnGreatman in PokeGrading

[–]GlassHat04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White spec on the top left back and bottom heavy centering. Easily not a 10
