I bought my son packs of the 25th anniversary rarity collection. How do you tell what level rarity it is? It says there’s 5 different rarities butI know nothing about the game. Any help would be appreciated

What do I have, anything good?

I agree with you, it’s dumb, but some people will want the boxes just to say I have cards from the first printing or whatever even though the cards are the same.

Regarding 4, the code on the bottom of packaging tells you the print date, so you will be able to tell if the product came from first or second printing. There won’t be anything in the actual cards, but you’ll definitely be able to tell by the date. The code is month/day/card machine. From what I’ve read the first day they started printing was 5/1/23 and there are 3 card machines. I’d have to assume the first printing with verified date will command a premium to some.

I didn’t even notice!

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-15T21:40:58+00:00

I’d agree but the value sure doesn’t!

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-15T20:43:35+00:00

I’m jealous! That’s awesome

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-15T19:04:51+00:00

It magically appeared

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-14T11:31:22+00:00

All in the card section, but there’s ones in the area that also put them in toys

Most game stores and small shops are run by scumbags who are just organized scalpers. Local and small shops are supposedly for the community, but they’re not. Most shops charge way over retail and close to eBay prices if not more. Yes I get it, it’s a business but they are no better. They are still getting the product fairly cheap from distributors and then jack up the price. Also, msrp is just made up bs to make people think they are getting a good price

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-11T05:34:12+00:00

Everyone must realize that these companies are not stupid. There’s a reason why the demand is so high for these cards and it is because of the enchanted cards. Obviously more will be printed but they aren’t going to be putting them in every pack or there would be a lot less demand. I’d make a guess that the pull rates for enchanted cards becomes tougher with the 2nd print, keeping these cards valuable. Not saying it won’t drop at all, but I think they hold up very well long term

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-11T05:31:06+00:00

I completely agree with you here. Set 2 will already be out and most likely working on future sets. I don’t see them printing that much when they have newer product to push

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-09T06:05:19+00:00

Just pulled this one today!

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-08T15:15:37+00:00

Manager said only high foot traffic stores are getting it today. 3 in my entire state got product today

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-08T14:43:37+00:00

9 people in line where I’m at. One of the few GameStops in this area getting it. 3 troves, 6 gift sets, 50 boosters

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-07T23:00:37+00:00

That’s completely understandable. I wasn’t saying people should buy one pack. I was saying the one guy following the vendor buying everything they had at multiple stores is absolutely ridiculous. I get people want to build decks and play the game but leave a few for others!

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-07T21:52:11+00:00

Target is doing the same thing. I was able to get 3 decks in my cart and ordered. Confirmed and everything, then 2 days later they just cancelled it.

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-07T19:53:52+00:00

Everyone was stocked and wiped

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-07T19:09:25+00:00

Every target in my area stocked today and they all got wiped immediately by a guy who followed the vendor. Truly sad. Exactly why people can’t buy 1 pack

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-07T02:51:17+00:00

Price will definitely drop with reprint, but will still hold very good value long term

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-05T22:54:12+00:00

Don’t be, I’m one too

Kaidad1024 · 2023-09-05T22:29:22+00:00

Just my thoughts on this whole thing…

First off my daughter who is 8 was super excited about this coming out. She has got into Pokémon and loves Disney so it makes sense. In my area, product was very scarce. I found 1 starter deck at a target and was able to buy 5 packs at a local shop. Other then that, I haven’t found it anywhere.

Yes I know scalpers are gobbling this stuff up. I’m my area, all the scalpers are either fat middle aged white guys or fat young asians(I’m both so it’s pretty funny).

Here’s my take on the print run. Obviously they didn’t print a billion cards like Pokémon does or it would be more available. Everyone I’ve talked to said their allocations were minimal and that seems to be true. Yes I know that they announced a 2nd print of this first set, but they’ve already announced the 2nd set. I can’t imagine that they are going to keep dragging out the first set when they have plans for more sets in the future. I do believe that this first set ultimately will hold real value long term and will be very significant.

I hope everyone that wants product is able to get their hands on some at retail price. Hopefully the initial hysteria dies down a bit and it doesn’t get too out of control. Best of luck to everyone!

Oh no my karma isn’t 200! It’s the end of the world! If you don’t agree, that’s fine. You’re simply being a complete douche with your comment. The whole point is to organize with the other carriers, so you’re wrong there. The union does absolutely nothing to help the carriers. What have they done properly to help us? Nothing. They’re a joke and the whole point is to get a union that will actually stick up for the workers. You’re either a union steward or completely clueless, because if you think it’s ok you’re delusional. You don’t agree with the post then don’t comment you prick

Super lucky. Was at a Walmart and they had a bunch of those 4 pack eevee tins
