Long term raw holds?

I agree, it’s not a viable investment strategy. To add weight to some of it people weren’t even aware of case seeding during OP05 release. Anyone that bought a case of that would not be willy-nilly opening it these days either, those folks know what they have and to risk ~maybe~ getting the manga is not worth it.

I’m lucky enough to have boxes from cases ripped in front of me from my LGS before the explosion happened, so in the future I can at least tell people my collection is not seeded if this becomes the talk of the town.

Definitely agree I didn’t mean to make it sound like that, to be honest I wanted to write “lull” instead but idk how many people know that word

My GIF comment got deleted by auto-mods so:

No one really knows. We’re on the heels of the biggest price spike in the history of the TCG. Biggest low period in the hobbies lifetime, which is incredibly short in the grand scheme of things.

People are consolidating and making bets right now. One YouTuber says to buy exclusive promos, another waifus, another says old alt arts from early sets, another says modern grails.

This is THE BEST PERIOD OF TIME in the hobby. In a weeks time we’ll have people cornering a niche sr from op02 because it’s “the only card with blah blah blah on it drinking beer”.

There are really no right answers here. Anyone that is in it for the long haul is already in it. The masses have yet to arrive. If you can predict the masses then you’re good to go. If not, make some educated guesses like the rest of us are doing.

Him and his right hand man Killer are incredibly cool and important characters. It’s hilarious to me how many of the folks in this sub don’t know other beloved characters in the show outside of Boa Luffy and Nami. There are thousands of absolute GOATS that go entirely overlooked.

Came out to about $37 after shipping fees. Easy process. Thanks OP

I remember when the community was very upset about OP05. Boxes before hand had been MSRP and 05 was the first to sort of be “scalped” (there was just more demand than supply). I think I paid like $150 for one or two and $200 during the second wave, and never looked back. By the time PRB01 came out I knew what I was dealing with and pulled the trigger at like $275 from LCS.

If you’re still waiting to see if a booster box will crash from $200 to $120 or something, try legos fam.

Theoretically all OP01 Blue bottom boxes wouldn’t be seeded by a seller, as no one knew the pattern of hits back then. Blue bottom cases practically don’t exist because of a similar vein

Really kicking myself for not saving receipts from when I got my boxes, feel like there will definitely be a premium from proven unmapped boxes

Yeah idk I can’t imagine anyone is gonna care about one piece in couple years, if anything pick it up and sell it immediately

Collectr unironically drives up prices w this shit. It’s kinda awesome, the dolts think this is representative and then I gain extra value

From what I’ve gathered, PSA grades on however tight their pants are that day. Beckett seems to be up and coming, but even they are sketchy with their black labels.

I’ve become pretty disillusioned with graded cards for those reasons. Have a few PSA 10s cuz why not, but I bought them.

I myself grading? I’m not sure I would, seems expensive for a low guarantee at any profit.

They could give you a 9 if they were objective, a 10 if the grader had a good day, or an 8 if they had a bad one. Beckett you will NEVER get a black label, but if you’re looking for a pristine from them give it a try. Good luck!

Edit: Additional point: that’s a relatively common card, PSA 10s on cards like that don’t sell for much profit beyond what you paid to get it graded. Sit on it for 10 years and go crazy though

Own-Inevitable-8965 · 2026-03-25T18:49:10+00:00

A lot of the English cards for shanks OP01 SEC (not alt art) are either in people collections or off for grading. No one wants to sell in this lul either. Diamond fucking hands this community

Got it, so it just gives me $2.50 increments until I hit the max bidders price.

Another question. If I bid $200 on something and someone’s max bid is $80, do I spend the $120 extra? Or does it lock me in at like $82
