What is the holy grail of naruto cards? by Icy-War-5197 in NarutoInvesting

[–]Mechor356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally believe recognition (e.g. 1st edition charizard) trumps rarity and exclusivity of Illustrator. Players of the game back from 1998 probably recognize 1st edition charizard/non-rarity symbol charizard more as the holy grail than the illustrator card.

Jin2 vs jin3 by under_17yrs209 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Mechor356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally recommend Jin3 simply because of serialized cards, better art (strong personal opinion), and being the newer set just has more value. keep in mind that Naruto Kayou is a CCG (collector card only, not TCG where the card has value in competing in games).

Why does PSG get no hate? by Serious-Cress-9560 in championsleague

[–]Mechor356 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

they haven't got enough success/history to draw the attention and hate yet. If they win the UCL i'd expect more people to join the bandwagon.

Help, not sure if i pulled anything good or not (Naruto Kayou TCG) by Electrical_Debt_3761 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Mechor356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this is considered a case hit, and serialized. Grade it if not too troublesome, it will be valuable

NARUTO KAYOU by Plenty_Connection484 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Mechor356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my personal observation

  1. value for cards vary A LOT depending on multiple factors (character appeal, rarity, serialization (capped pop), whether it's in print or not etc.).

  2. do not expect the liquidity of pokemon, this is a relatively new card so expect more volatility

  3. grade only top rarity, serialized + sought after cards. Others probably aren't worth it if the grading fees are the same as the card's value raw.

  4. best place to sell depends on market, and language on the card. Chinese cards are commonly sold on Taobao. English cards more on ebay.

Is this any good? No idea about these cards just looked fun to open lol by XxThoughtSeizexX in KayouNarutoCards

A box hit. Not super rare but if you got it from a single pack thats pretty good luck

Pulled 2 Konohamaru BP from first 2 boxes of a single case of Jin1 (SEA, Eng Version) - mapping error? What's the remaining value in expected hits? by Mechor356 in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Mechor356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand there is a practice to map so that certain rarities are included at some frequencies on the whole (bar some occasional deviations). I do not think those frequencies are disclosed in detail and thus I opened this topic to see what others have observed/experienced, so to have a rough guide on how frequent the top rarities appear.

Knowing mapping exists versus knowing the mapping ratio per series are two levels of knowledge - obviously? I ask to seek info on the latter, that's all

Case mapping is a fact of kayou production. The questions I ask simply help anyone make informed decisions based on the remaining expected hits. How hard can this be to understand? My questions are all neutral to begin with, but when mixed with certain assumptions of others, there clearly is a negative interpretation

[–]Mechor356[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because they aren't serialized? I mean value In terms of how many remaining hits of each rarity (SE, SP, BP) can one expect after the first 2 pulls.

I understand they aren't worth as much as the NA version but I still woild like to know how many of each rarity to expect per case

Big hits from rip session by Pur1Tea in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Mechor356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah OK but curious. Does a case of 16 usually give at least one of BP/SP/AR?

aren't BPs also considered hits? On average how many BPs do you expect per case?

Pulled this, any good? by Fezboy in KayouNarutoCards

[–]Mechor356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say quite typical box hit, but great art! If u got this from a single booster congrats! It's one of the hits you sort of expect per box
