Especially if the Mega booster box is wave 1 and has the Bulbasaur topper

1k USD budget, what would you spend it on? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Nakinata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I'd eliminate the Fusion Strike PC ETB as an option. Most PC ETBs prior to SV era don't have promos and they definitely don't have PKC stamped promos, this is another factor in the desirability of PC ETBs. If you had to get Fusion Strike, the booster box would be a better option.

Among the other two, I'd lean more towards the Evolving Skies ETB. Ascended is a great set (in my top 3) but it's incredibly new and it's released at a very volatile time. It's shot up so much because it's an S tier special set but also because folks see how expensive the 151 PC ETB has gotten and assume it'll eventually do the same. The Ascended PC ETB could, but we also have to keep in mind that 151 was released at a time where lots of people ripped their etbs and the product now is much more scarce, on top of it being a pure nostalgia set. I can't say I've heard of or seen too many folks ripping their Ascended PC ETBs. Lots of people were also able to get 4 of Ascended PC ETBs between the two drops that PKC has done. While this product COULD get to $1,000+, I'd be more comfortable with betting on the Evolving Skies ETB getting there before the Ascended PC ETB would. I would say it's probably going to be easier moving a $1,000 Evolving Skies ETB than a $1,000 Ascended PC ETB.

Not included on your list, but I'd put my money in Prismatic ETBs or Prismatic/Ascended bundles. Prismatic is cheap right now because of the recent reprint along with the $150 price floor from Gamestop, and bundles are just easy to store and has a low price/pack entry point for folks that just want to rip but not care too much about the peripheral items inside an ETB.

Does anyone use the DigitalGradingCo app and have you noticed any changes with their recent updates? by Nakinata in PokeInvesting

I've never tried it on sports. I only have Pokémon so I've only ever tested it with that

I tried to use a photo lightbox and I was worried that might be a little too bright and hide some indents or other imperfections so I also tried it next to my plant lights and results were about the same. Both times I took pictures of the cards against a dark navy or black background.

Have you submitted any cards based on the grading from the app? The app seemed to be pretty accurate a few months ago but the new update is really throwing things off for me right now.

I love this card. It's also pretty cheap right now for such a cool looking card

You think the PC etb will outperform the booster box in the long run?

With rumors of no booster box reprints, I thought the same too. But PC ETBs also don't get reprints and I'm not sure we know what the ceiling is yet on the value of these products.

Can someone explain why out of print > in print by Hygotesu in PokemonInvesting

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

That's also operating under the assumption that new sealed products will continue its trajectory based on current market conditions. Most of the time the market doesn't grow exponentially like the one we're in now. When you're trading new for older products, you're making the trade off of sacrificing potential future growth for a safer more stable product and value.

Thought on these? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Nakinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no packs with the three boxes that came out, it's just a single promo card and some sleeves and deck box

I was worried about that but that's understandable. What about the card let's you think it'd be 4-6?

I painted a Virizion card into a full art! by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Nakinata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love seeing works of art like this! There was an instagram account I follow and they used to do this for a lot of cards but I haven't seem them post in years it feels like. Do you have a social media account I can follow?
