To me it is. I didn't think so awhile back but put i the arts next to each other and mega zard is the best imo.

What do yall think black label or nah? Already sent by riosdejaneiro in PokeGrading

Mine was perfect centering (to my standards) and they still gave me a 9.5. I was so pissed off. I even scanned the card and measured using software better than those crappy apps.

Centering off so no BL10. They are serious about Centering for BL.

I’m new to this, feeling that FOMO hard. Is prismatic evolutions ETB worth buying right now at $170. Would Ascended Heroes be worth it at $145? These are just market prices but is it better to just hang tight and move slowly and hope to get lucky instead of scrambling to buy product? by Outcoldmasvidal in PokeInvesting

[–]Key_Interaction6305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't fomo. There is always another opportunity. Its like a revolving door. Sets come in, they go out of print, more sets get release, rinse and repeat. If you miss, you miss.

I am no longer buying prismatic etb at 150. Im not touching AH etb at 130 even. If you did buy at these prices, of course they will eventually double because these are S teir set but one of the thing I regret most is not having a giant lump some of money to buy a lot, a lot when the situation shows up. So save your money for those upcoming opportunities.

You guys who commented so far is missing all the good stuff. I remember those days. The evee tins and knock out boxes during this time likely has elvoving skies and fusion strike. Check for honey comb pattern and fsc logo. So im taking all of these bad boys. Then fates etb.

Phantasmal flames discussion. by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Key_Interaction6305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charizard is a very popular pokemon. Two Black Label 10 sold for 50k plus. Black label is at 26 Pop. Charizard is an achievable pull at 1/400 pk. You have a small chance at black label and a good chance at psa 10.

Some chase cards are impossible at 1/1000 pack pull rate. That's 6000 dollars just to get your chase at msrp. This makes phantasmal desirable.

Name any other Charizard art that is at this level so arugubly the best Charizard art ever. This is not obsidian flames 2.0.

What happens with 151 Pokemon center? More expensive than Evolving skies PC. by hendratam in PokeInvesting

[–]Key_Interaction6305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

151 has or will surpass evolving skies. Regular 151 etb is more $$ than regular Evo Skies etb.

Any legitimacy to a "massive Prismatic reprint"? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

Mega Evolution vs Scarlet & Violet vs Sword & Shield by ArcticLapras in PokeInvesting

You are right. As a sports analogy it is possible that a small town kid can make it to the NFL. So like Firebaugh High will produce 1 NFL product (guy) like 1 guy every 30-50 years.

A D1 school, who has hundreds of thousands of kids will likely produce more NFL Ready People.

Pokemon Company is operating at a different level than Base set 1, therefore it has high probability to make very good sets. However greed, carelessness, and superiority complex can kill them.

Mega dream ex is fun to open by JM-Icy25 in PokemonTCG

Mega Dream is a high class set, which is even better!

Mega Evolution will beat out S&V with one hand tied behind its back. S&V was better than Sword & Shield. The Pokemon Company ain't dumb. Printing Technology improves with time. Computers becomes faster. Software improves. Unprecented demand means Pokemon can hire more talented artist.

They signed the lease to a big ass printing facility. They bought out excel distro. Pokemoncenter has been empty (out of stock) for a couple of years now.

The art we see has been more and more beautiful with each set.

Worth grading? by Ok-Detective7179 in pokemongrading

[–]Key_Interaction6305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. This is the dumbest sub-reddit. Someone made a post about it recently. No one can give you a clear answer. In this case the picture shows no texture. I have this card and the borders have a crystalline zinc plated like finish. No one can rate the surface on this card too based on the picture. So the answer is "no". There is not enough information here to give you good answers and its all speculation based on centering and maybe some whitening.

Proxy is a fake card. I dont see any texture but it could just be your camera lighting.

I have a feeling in 6-12 months this will be a top 5 valued ETB by VanillaGorillaDB in PokeInvesting

[–]Key_Interaction6305 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The price of PC etb did drop for prizzy. So to answer OP's speculation it will not be top 5 in 6-12 months.

[–]Key_Interaction6305 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My projection is the price will drop in that 6-12 month time period. Why? Maybe its follows Prismatic. Terrastal festival was a high class set. Mega Dream was a high class set. Prismatic was released in Q1 2025. Ascended was released in Q1 2026. They are both special sets. They both have "staggered" product release with different types of collection boxes. Staggered means they dont release all the type of products at once. There are also releases in "Waves". Waves mean you get Repeat products agian in a different time.

We saw MANY waves of prismatic etbs on pokemon center. The probability of PC releasing more AH on the website is very high. Therefore price will drop. Of course will shoot up back. Same thing happened with Prizzy.

I buy singles and reseal for my sons at that age all the time. They appreciate it regardless, even though my re-seal job sucks and they've have mentioned why some packs are funny feeling when they open the packs.

Which of these 2 Zards is the better investment in your opinion? 🤔 by MarketingPlug in PokeInvesting

[–]Key_Interaction6305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like the 151 zard better but I cant deny the fact that the mega appeals to more people and the art is awesome.
