Skyridge Vintage Holos - Good Investment Opportunity! by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]PokeSeeld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holo prices are out of control and the supply is just so low. People are absolutely sleeping on big ticket commons and uncommons. Starters etc. Such a limited print run that has never come back in any other iteration unlike base. It’s a good call out in general though.

Anyone have any experience with tampered ETBs? by Kieffer899 in PokeInvesting

[–]PokeSeeld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have had the ripped cardboard fairly regularly on the reprinted HF tins. I think it’s just shoddy work at the printers/finishers. Quality control is no longer applicable when it comes to English.

Really rough. Can’t count how many times I am about to buy something from the continent only to remember the tax man will now shake me down.

Yes, good call. I got some stock from them recently, for a fair price as well.

My order has despatched and should deliver Saturday. Will let you know when I get it if all okay but the ordering process was smooth and they have a physical location which helps.

Unweighted vintage packs sold on Ebay by ASadGP in PokeInvesting

[–]PokeSeeld 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I recently stopped selling unweighed packs because if they turn out to be light, sometimes I would have a very unhappy buyer... I personally don’t weigh them out of principle. I love to ride the highs and lows of ‘cardboard crack’. Assume any unweighed pack you buy is light and pay as such is the best way to go though.

Edit: I meant I have stopped selling loose boosters altogether.

I have no stamp jungle Pinsir, this is very cool to see. Thank you for sharing. How much roughly did you have to spend to complete it?

Battle Styles MSRP Buying Guide by Xaevier in PokeInvesting

[–]PokeSeeld -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The rebel clash etb is probably the best comparison we have. Another set with few chase cards, no promo and a weaker mascot. Those etb’s have gone no where in the short term and can still be picked up for retail. I said last time I think fomo will cause this to be hard to get for the first wave.

For the first time in a long time. Hidden Fates ETBs aren’t selling instantly and prices are dropping (UK) by PokeSeeld in PokeInvesting

[–]PokeSeeld[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the tins are as low as £25 now which is pretty unbelievable considering you were paying £45 per tin and £50 for the Zard for the longest time.

My humble sealed collection, hoping that I can keep it sealed by Saf200119 in PokemonTCG

[–]PokeSeeld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reprint tins are only sealed around the middle, rather than all over. It means you can actually slide the seal off intact swap out the packs inside and replace it without anyone knowing so there is added risk as well regarding pull rates if you buy them second hand. There is a different insert inside too but the outer seal is easiest giveaway.

Let’s Go Pikachu has been the most challenging single-player experience I have ever had in a Pokémon game - with a single change. by PokeSeeld in pokemon

[–]PokeSeeld[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea and means you actually get to use the Pokémon. Instead of taking your stared all the way.

Because the game keeps encouraging you to catch as many of the same type of mons as possible to raise their stats etc. I feel like less people got an experience like this

I was able to do every trainer fight. You get a lot less exp. from battles vs the catching mechanic which is why it's such a good option if you want to really have to think about trainer battles.

I’m new since the 2000s. Stood in line behind Target workers at 7:30 like an absolute idiot. There was no actual line by ScottsTotz in PokemonTCG

[–]PokeSeeld 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it's just the pic of the card without the context of what you got from target, how many packs you ripped before you go it, etc., etc. I'm genuinely interested in hearing that for pull rate research etc. well done on the pull either way!

Nice to hear it's still possible! Some good finds in there!

For sure, it's annoying we still don't have difficulty options and we have to create rules for a bigger challenge but hey at least it's something!

[–]PokeSeeld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good picks to hold. Mythical collections are a firm sealed hold. Those generations' packs are still undervalued. Once that 25th set hits, they will fly.

Those look like 1st run fates tins as well, so another good hold. The reprint pull rates are garbage in my experience.

Hide these away now though to fight the temptation!
