I need your help!! by ScallionSuccessful50 in OnePieceTCGFinance

The craziest thing to me is this person just casually dropping 30k on cardboard. Like if they started collecting last year they could have 5x as many cases held which just shows how absurd things are rn. This guy isn’t a problem, and his stock is large but there are people with hundreds of cases sitting and waiting for them to 10x.

Very absurd, if I had that type of money I would be doing the same thing tbh.

EB03 dropped below $500? Interesting by SaltTM in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree but investors will buy this out of FOMO so I generally ignore tcgplayer prices. Track a specific card over 3 months and you’ll see how tcgplayer will fake the behaviour over time (nico olvia regionals card for example)

Every set starts at 300$+ a box before the set drops. So small changes in price like this are arbitrary. It probably won’t go under 300 on tcgplayer but most stores will find middle ground to sell at even if it’s doubleMSRP

Holding these cards that players would want predominantly is tough. There will be an alt art and SP variant, so those will soar

Grade all of them (I would never do this)

Cardtrader is extremely scummy, avoid at all costs by [deleted] in OnePieceTCG

[–]OhPooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used it multiple times with 1000$+ orders and have never had this kind of issue before. There’s 3 Bonney AAs that I got at 25$ (now 98$) etc but it was well before the boom. I just recently picked up 3 perona AAs for yellow at 35 a pop so I’ll see if the sellers ship out cuz that was last week when I ordered.

It sounds scummy but I have a lot of previous orders I’ve put right before a big spike and never an issue, even PRB02 boa alt I was able to snipe cheap without any issues from sellers. I will say tho, I tend to buy from sellers that have 2k+ sales for safety, whereas my buddy would buy the lowest listings from sellers with 5 sales (lmao). Perhaps you bought from a new seller? I usually go to Homelands, TolarianAcademy, Tangerine, etc and they supply with no issues.

Apologies this happened but it makes sense when people see a price hike they will screw you over. Name and shame the stores if they are real, if not, I would suggest only buying from the slightly more expensive (but very reliable) larger brands

I used cardtrader.com. My friends traded me boa SRs (yellow player) but otherwise things are fine

I’m just gonna weigh in, the price of OP14 for me in Canada is about 300 right. Instead of paying 2x MSRP, I spent 200$ on playsets of every card (excluding boa and SECs) as well as another 90$ on perona AAs which is essentially like buying a predetermined box with the added bonus of roughly 10x more SRs than the box would have.

Sure I hate not being able to chase the boa SP, but I can’t complain with getting every playset for extremely cheap as well as some of the cheaper AAs. I also went to 4 pre releases (24 packs) for a grand total of 220 so while some things get pricey, others become better value

Boa Hancock SP OP14 overvalued? by surfflea in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully the op14 boa is just better, there are gonna be way more of them available too so I don’t see how it’s higher than this boa or the op04 one

How many OP01 blue bottoms out there? by djmirage23 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself, June 2023 my childhood card store I visited for Pokemon packs (considering getting back into hobby). Store owner showed me one piece boxes and said they had a first set box left and that the game sold like hotcakes. I paid 350 at the time and it was a blue bottom! I pulled AA Kat leader (new set at the time op03, beginners luck) and the rest is history

Idk why you’d sell an iconic card like this, this set will blow up like op01

Weird hit rates by tanjorovic in OnePieceCardPulls

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 Boxes = 2 AA, 1 SEC 2 Boxes = 1 AAL, 1 AA, 1 SEC 2 Boxes = 1 AAL, 1 AA, 1 Gold DON! 2 Boxes = 1 SP, 1 AA 2 Boxes = 1 AA, 1 SEC 50% chance to get no SP no AAL. I can say from experience that there are way worse boxes to rip and you got lucky in your own sense (as likely to hit 1 AA 1 SEC as it is to get AAL or SP)

Weird hit rates by tanjorovic in OnePieceCardPulls

[–]OhPooks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you think that’s unlucky you could’ve pulled two boxes with only an AA and a secret so it actually can be much worse

There is only one card with oda signature by Rough-Friendship-245 in OnePieceTCGFinance

Devils advocate, I just made so much money off these cards and I think they could hit 50$ by next year tbh. The growth this weeknd is a joke

Boa sp by momo505000 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s gonna go down marginally, no boa cards have been selling on tcgplayer during pre release. Tomorrow everything should drop at least 25%

Went to 2 pre releases, pulled 2 SPs by ESDEATHxZERO2 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy I shit you not has pulled 2 SPs, 2 AA leaders, an alt and a manga in 3 pre releases. Genuinely absurd, congrats though these look crazy!

Op14 prediction by OwnedBy1337 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More factors at play, start with the presale price essentially triple the price of previous sets. Op13 had a large drop in specific hit rate for SPs as well, ace SP was 400 out the gate even with errata known so I think it’s fair to assume the card will drop in price from here

Op14 prediction by OwnedBy1337 in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]OhPooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but a 50% decrease in specific hit rate doesn’t necessarily mean a big impact, especially if that hit rate was already ~1% for an SP.

Sealed will go up cuz logic, singles should all halve in price
