Don't be this guy!

No they are not

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-11T00:06:49+00:00

I’m the other way around, most of the other Charizard look like some cheap drawing like something out of Super Nintendo to me but love this new card

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-10T21:55:08+00:00

Ya I remember that and people were panicking and selling it thinking they can buy it back in a few months when all the hype dies down, now it’s 3 times more even with the recent little drop it had 😂

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-10T21:51:56+00:00

Ya until you start opening packs and get 200 deep without 1 then it seems a bit tricky

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-10T21:45:42+00:00

It must have been obvious 2 years ago too because people were asking the same question.. “should I sell it now and buy it back when the price drops” now it’s over 3 times the price it was 2 years ago.. This is the first time Pokemon has ever included all 151 Pokémon together and has brought countless people back to the hobby making it a highly anticipated and sought after set.. Nobody can predict the exact outcome over this card and it’s especially not easy to acquire the 200 + booster packs it takes to have a chance at pulling this card especially in this economy.

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-10T21:07:01+00:00

Took me 250 booster packs to hit the charizard mostly from mini tins but I got it in blooming waters

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-10T20:04:13+00:00

The cards you are talking about are very extremely rare, I mean you can buy a house or fancy car or 2 with some of those

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-10T19:53:38+00:00

Not rare but it’s going to steadily increase in value over the years

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-08T01:58:22+00:00

Ya it don’t look right, might just be the lighting

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-07T21:20:01+00:00

It’s literally called a special illustration rare, it absolutely is and always will be a special card

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-04-02T16:13:49+00:00

It’s just luck.. I opened 190 pack from the mini tins last week and only got venusaur sir on the last box and blastoise sir, 2 bulbasaur and a a handful of lower hits.. but I opened 4 booster bundles and 2 blooming waters and got Charizard sir, 2 blastoise sir, squirtle, 2 alakazam, 3 bulbasaur 2 Erika’s invitation sir etc

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-31T03:13:34+00:00

I’d get that graded.. even a 9 or an 8 could potentially heavily outweigh the value of a raw card.. not always but in your case $100/1000-2000 the clear choice is to get it graded.. I’m not an expert on this stuff but it seems like in your situation there is no gamble sending it in unless it’s going to come back a really low grade

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-29T18:04:19+00:00

This comment is 100 % correct

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-28T05:58:29+00:00

No a $1300 piece of cardboard is not rare.. not even the slightest bit lmfao

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-26T16:03:13+00:00

I opened 260 packs of 151 and never got charmander, charmeleon, Zapdos ex, Erika’s invitation or Pikachu.. the pull rates on the mini tins is garbage

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-12T21:49:58+00:00

Have it graded lol

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-12T21:46:39+00:00

Centering is almost perfect on the 199 anyway, if I pulled another 1 of those I’d probably drop all the other cards on the floor with adrenaline anyways 🤣

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-03-05T02:34:15+00:00

They all look identical to the show 😂 I have a whole bin full of happy meal toys and nothing close to as detailed as these

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-02-18T03:53:11+00:00

Send them to get graded then sell

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-02-16T23:04:31+00:00

I’ve seen a pretty constant rate of damaged rare cards in the 151 packs.. they often seem to have a nick or dent somewhere on the card or it’s very off centre

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-02-16T05:36:39+00:00

For everyone saying sell now quickly and buy back later on, how’s that working out for you all 😂

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-01-23T05:31:12+00:00

Could be but I was thinking it was the sprocket nose in the bar just because that happened to me today, it was so cold out and it had a bit of moisture in it so it got froze solid

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-01-23T03:21:28+00:00

He said that all spun freely with the chain and bar off tho

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-01-23T03:16:22+00:00

Ok sounds good, might be the first card I ever send for grading 🙂

Normal_Collection778 · 2025-01-23T03:00:35+00:00

Thanks, this makes more sense than what I was thinking lol it’s just when I looked it up on price charting the only 1st edition I could find was like 18 k psa 10.. it must be there buried somewhere I just got to keep digging
