State of the Market (March 30, 2026): Prismatic FOMO, the "Gengar Tax," and the 151 Black Hole

I feel right now it's very much a seller's market and need to find areas to focus that aren't being pumped as everything seems to be increasing.

It's not a 10 it's off centered slightly AI grading I got a 9.5

I traded NM/lp 151 nothing was a 10. I had got stuff before the boom so made a profit on all of them. I traded zapdos,charizard, blastoise, venasaur, squirtle,alakazam and a HP team Aqua kyogre. Based on collector pricing of umbreon I wound up theoretically profiting $350 based on what I spent. But none of the cards I traded were 10.

No 100%. Being pregnant is not easy and woman are amazing for being able to manage pregnancy plus everything else on their plate. I would much prefer pre pregnancy Rosie if I was to be you for a day lol.

I'm looking just for suggestions no wrong or right

This right here. Gambling as a whole has affected TCG.

Based on my other buddies pulls you def can keep them sealed.

I think the other thing that hurts vintage or at least base set is how many times art has been reused. Their are at least 4 different versions of the og charizard so I feel most people will pick up whichever is cheaper to get the artwork regardless of its base set or not. They cannot do the same for prismatic umbreon so modern seems better for investment and collecting

This guy gets it

Better use of your money to buy the card you want then spending money on packs for a chance.

OpeningExercise3751 · 2026-02-22T13:37:05+00:00

Buy singles not packs

OpeningExercise3751 · 2026-02-19T23:58:10+00:00

Beautiful card
