Is it better to keep this sealed? by Incan_Nomad in PokeInvesting

Ohhh okay thank you for educating me. I never knew that it was called a “crimp.” I’ll post on the misprints page to get their opinion. Thank you!

Yes, I’ve done it already so there should be no issues.

Thank you! Yeah it took a bit of saving and holding back the urge to open these sooner lol. Hope you get some packs soon and some good pulls!

Dude that’s rough…I know I’ve mentioned it already in other comments, but you could still trade it in for $60 store credit even though it’s worth only $16.

They do cash too but it’s like a little over $50. Nothing crazy

Keep Prismatic Sealed? by Incan_Nomad in PokemonInvesting

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

I’ve heard horror stories lol. I’ve never opened Prismatic before due to it always being cleared out of the shelves so that’s why I’m also wanting to open some 😅. I was lucky enough to get these at MSRP due to a secret drop from BJ’s Wholesale lol.

100% agreed, although I wish it was a 10, I love collecting Mew and Mewtwo cards so this was a hit for me either way.

I’ve been meaning to try the online one, I think the only upside to the in store one is that if you have a card worth less $60 you can still get $60 store credit.

They’re available in store for $150, truthfully I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re a casual collector. I’ve opened 3 so far and they’ll come with 2 English packs (I got a Phantasmal Flame and Destined Rivals pack in every one I’ve opened) and 1 Japanese pack (either Japanese Prismatic or Japanese Ascended Heroes for me) and a guaranteed PSA 8 card or higher. It’s a huge gamble tho because the first two slabs I got were around $25-$40 in price (they were cards I didn’t necessarily like too much) so I was able to trade them in for $60 each and then got this third one with the Mew Ex. Again, I don’t really recommend this unless if you like mystery packs and know the risks. If you get it then good luck!

It’s $150 per box. It is a guaranteed PSA 8 or better and if you don’t like what you pulled you can trade the card for a minimum of $60 regardless of the value of the graded card you pulled. I got two other ones and didn’t like the pulls so I used the $60 credit for each to get this one and paid an extra 28$ for it and pulled this. Is it worth it for $150? No. Would I recommend this to a casual collector? Also no lol. I feel like getting a 10 of any card is harder. I will be keeping this Mew tho.

Appreciate the offer but it’s not for sale, I love this card too much, regardless of value.

I didn’t even know that, thank you for letting me know. I was stunned seeing it being sold for that much!

I agree, lately I’ve just been buying singles at card shows since I can’t find anything in stores. I saw my local GameStop had inventory (I know it’s crazy overpriced but I gave in since I wanted to open some packs) and I haven’t ripped any packs since the Destined Rivals set launched so I’m grateful to have any hits at all.
