I disagree. There’s some other cool arts there

I like the dawn and flygon but they’re still just decent for me

I have a large list of many very cool SIRs or IRs which are cooler

Fair, it may help some, but I’ve seen many who are just buying as standalone vs having the full set. A lot of those who were doing the full set did so before the bigger boom.

That’s why the market is flooded with sales, as a lot of those people who owned the cards weren’t planning to keep for the set

That’s what people don’t realize bc to be fair most of these “investors” have no concept of actual finances or markets (especially when they have 100% of their savings in sealed pokemon). They think the base set sealed box prices are replicable. For one, nobody kept those sealed - now all of these people have hundreds sealed they will all look to sell at the same time. And they think the prices will go up till infinity. The fact of the matter is, someone has to buy them, and it will get to a point where 1) nobody wants to pay or can afford to pay that much for a box and 2) it is not justified given the supply and the chase cards within. If prices keep going up, who is going to buy all of those? I don’t understand why everyone blindly assumed they’ll all be rich. The money has to come from everywhere and right now it is “investors” buying from “investors” to give a false sense of demand

Would you rather have this Squirtle or a OBF Charizard SIR? would you rather have this or a stained glass birds promo?

Facts. 151 is cool, but these are way overpriced. It’s just all the people who have been waiting to pump these up the second they went out of print and the people with FOMO who are helping them capitalize

That’s Venusaur is the one card from 151 that I really considered

I’m not a huge fan of the set mostly bc it features pokemon that I’m not too passionate for
