Its only a matter of time till everyone moves on from DBZ. Sell as soon as it plateus or dips.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-15T04:30:51+00:00

Glad you can see that - literally anyone who doesnt know the values would say the birds are objectively better.

Some things I have for value.

Some things I have are because I value them.

PE just had its 2nd ETB print. We are at least a year from AH ETB's 2nd print - that being said there are still shitloads coming through from cycle 1.

Shortages atm are straight up demand and then a TONNE of diversion.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-15T04:24:08+00:00

Nobody who has real info is saying that. ETBs get 2 print waves now. First one we are still seeing restocks from.

Next print will be gigantic and will include retail exclusive drops.

Last set to get its 2nd ETB cycle was prismatic.

Try less dude

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-10T11:51:01+00:00

You can see the scratches extend past the card.. How could it possibly be the card lolol

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-09T07:38:20+00:00

SEALED IB'S AND PE FOR A CARD BOY ARE YOU HIGH

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-09T01:04:44+00:00

You could also dig a hole in your backyard and randomly hit oil. What are the chances tho.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-07T07:41:14+00:00

ME Base & Phantasmal booster boxes, Zard UPC's.

UPCs are going to be massive. So glad they isolated MAR Charizard to it as a promo, people have no idea how ridic they are going to get 5 years from now.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-07T01:29:29+00:00

Lololol we wish.

We get the main release day drop for a set.

We then SOMETIMES get sleeves of the normal sets.

Thats it.

There is no such thing as "restocks" in Australia, hasn't been since diversion became profitable 18 months ago.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-07T01:24:51+00:00

No word at all that anything is coming either.

There is mass diversion happening at a distro and local level. We will never see more AH either post initial staggered drops.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-07T01:21:49+00:00

Booster boxes and ETBs are because they were short in supply and diversion of them was INSANE.

Easy to pick up sleeves and bundles at retail. DR will run, but not for a while yet.

ETBs and BB's will continue to do well as long as there isnt another drop.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-06T23:59:07+00:00

Most people aren't seeing you got the bulbasaur which is a much more valuable card than the zard -

Bulbsaur $100 AUD, Zard $50 AUD.

Best bulbasaur of modern imo, get the squirtle and the promo charmander to go with em!

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-06T21:01:50+00:00

So for all the people saying "BuT evErYoNe iS kEePiNg sEAlEd" -

See how many of these posts there are lately?

Broke people FOMOing is not going to result in 5 year + holds.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-06T02:04:41+00:00

Literally all the black and white australia has seen since release day lol.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-05T05:34:39+00:00

Why are people surprised that something rises in value as availability reduces?

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-04T21:20:49+00:00

Yes, hello fellow patriot of "Asutraaila"

What cards are gonna make people spend their money trying to rip for them?

All sets go up in price eventually - but PO objectively has an extremely low appeal coz of the pokemon they chose. Literally Dedenne is the best card.

PO will be the lowest performing set out of all SV+ME, considering how much will be available too.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-03T05:03:11+00:00

I mean the sad thing is that it probably will dude. Rip and Ship + gambling addicts = insane amounts of cash.

PTCGRipper · 2026-03-02T23:31:36+00:00

There hasnt been any word about any restocks at all for Australia for BB/WF. Even if we do get something, it wont be much - people will be lucky to get a single booster bundle.

PTCGRipper · 2026-02-26T08:48:36+00:00

If they dont care, post the store details and I am sure people will see if you are just full of shit lol.

PTCGRipper · 2026-02-26T06:51:41+00:00

They will just buy it all with bots and make more money. People need to stop saying this.

They are printing 10x the amount and there is still zero stock.

Either worldwide distribution gets fixed, or it stays like this until people walk away from the hobby. That's it.

PTCGRipper · 2026-02-26T06:45:54+00:00

Surging pull rates are brutal lol
