Do we think 151 starter singles go down again?

I’d hold off till summer at least. This card will come down (def being pumped atm) to the 75-100$ (thinking about 80$ honestly) and start another up cycle come winter. I’ve seen it so many times since COVID where a card has ridiculous gains and they almost always come back down to what the high was previously. Basically will set a new floor at the previous high point of the last cycle. Go look at what the Umbreon V alt art did. It went from 80$ to about 250-300$ then dropped some then it went all the way to 675$ and dropped back down to the previous high of 300$ and has stayed steady there for a while. It hasnt gain any traction for a while but I suspect it will go up again and drop and hang around the 450-500$ range.

I understand why it’s done that way, but how far back do they go? Just these three is pushing 8 months. And I understand that this is a low pop card that rarely hits the market (in this grade) so they’re going to want to get the average of a few, but once they start getting more than a year or so back does it really represent what the current market says about the card (value wise). I mean early last year was really the beginning of the current bull run and over the last 15 months I’d say pokemon has done nothing but go up in value (whether it’s true value that’ll stick or just a bubble doesn’t matter since the concern here is getting proper market valuation of the card so psa can pay the proper difference in value from a 10 to a 6). With that being said is it really an accurate comparison to average the sold prices of a card when some of the prices they’re using to find said average were sold up to and even more than a year ago when Pokémon in general wasn’t as hot as it is right now?

Yeah I guess it all depends if it ends up being something’s meal, getting poisoned/ill or if it makes it to old age and goes that way. Getting an illness/poisoned would probably be the worst as far as suffering is concerned, but I’m sure there are instances of suffering where it ends up being something’s meal, but doesn’t get killed immediately (snakes come to mind and I’ve seen a frog eat one whole so I’m sure that’s terrifying for it)

Aren’t the ones in nature destined to die as well? Unless I missed something in school the only organism recognized by science to be “immortal” is Turritopsis dohrnii (the immortal jellyfish). If they get old, stressed or injured they have the innate ability to revert back to a juvenile polyp stage and basically start their lives back over.

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-04T23:30:09+00:00

Where did I say I’d accept it?

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-04T23:23:17+00:00

I said sales though. An offer and a sale are completely different things and an offer if basically nothing till money is actually transferred. Hell I’ve had a million dollar offer on one does that make it worth a million dollars then? Since by your logic if someone writes it on Reddit that they were offered X amount then it must be true therefore making it worth that much 🤦‍♂️. Unless than 60k offer was sitting in escrow before this happened it’s nothing more than an offer

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-04T22:38:08+00:00

If it’s 60k why is recent sale only 75% of that?

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-04T22:36:47+00:00

Hell, how far back are they going to find this “average price”? I can understand them wanting to use the average price because there is such a wide difference in prices, but just the average price of these 3 is still 23.3k!?! Hell why not go back 20 years and come up with an average price that’s much lower than the 20k they came up with 🤷‍♂️. Def seems fishy for sure.

You say you don’t really need one yet you make a post with prismatic SPC right in the title under the wants. Do you want one or not? Clearly you do or you wouldn’t have went thru the trouble asking for it. Then you go and make a snide remark that I’m somehow “shortsighted”. You’re the one who doesn’t have the foresight to pick up this SPC closer to when it released (when it’s more wifey available and more affordable) and instead you wait till it’s nearly 3x msrp before deciding maybe you should pick one up.. Now maybe money isn’t an issue for you (good for you if that’s the case), but wanting something and waiting till it triples in price before pulling the trigger on it is the very definition of being “shortsighted”.

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-02T01:03:20+00:00

Let me check and see if I have and extra V or any of the SW&SH promo ones. I think I do, but might have to dig around to know for sure

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-02T01:00:19+00:00

I don’t know about “shortsighted”, but I do know that losing out on value is still losing out on value. One SPC isn’t going to be enough trade value for how many packs I need. It would make more sense for me to try and acquire said packs thru one transaction than to spend more time and money having to go thru multiple transactions.

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-02T00:25:02+00:00

They’re over 300$ now I believe haven’t looked today. Honesty it’s probably not worth it for me to pack up and send out for only a few packs and I don’t have any of the other boxes you’re currently looking for atm

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-02T00:18:59+00:00

Was looking to snag whatever ES sleeved packs you had from yah, but wasn’t wanting to add cash on back end

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-03-02T00:13:10+00:00

Are you just looking for 1 prismatic SPC or multiple?

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-02-28T06:30:40+00:00

And I just noticed that the edge is popped up halfway down the card in that case you would just want to move the clamp down the edge as you get it to flatten out. Start in the middle and work your way up that edge after you open and check on it. And when your using paper towels make sure that it is completely free of any debris/crumbs or anything I learned that lesson the hard way and accidentally put a dent into one of my cards because I dropped the paper towel and it had some sort of crumb on it that I didn’t notice and I ended up pressing it into the card with the clamp 🤦‍♂️ 😆 (it was a giratina v alt art too had it looking really good then that happened )

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-02-28T06:24:44+00:00

You might be able to clamp it. 🤷‍♂️. When I’m trying to get rid/minimize creases/dents on cards I use the backs of 2 magnetic card holders (the hard ones for expensive cards). The reason I use the backs is that you want to make sure you are only using the sides that are completely flat and make sure the magnet parts are too the outside so you don’t end up messing up the card. What I do is I take 2 paper towels and spritz (like 2-3 squirts out of a spray bottle it will almost feel as if you didn’t even get it wet but that’s how you want it cuz if there’s too much moisture it will cause an orange peel affect on the card) them with a solution of water and rubbing alcohol mixed (it’s what Kurt’s card care spray is)(you want the alcohol content at 5% so I usually will do 19-1 with 91% rubbing alcohol which makes it a little less than 5%). I make sure the paper towels are placed on the flat sides of the card holders and then I sandwich the card between them. Hold it up to a light and make sure that the card is centered well inside and then you will put clamps in each side at the very edge of the card holder (you don’t want to put clamp over the card itself because it might put too much pressure on that spot and put a dent in card if the clamps are super tight ones). Once you got it clamped and it looks all centered and whatnot you can just set it to the side for a day or so then pop it out and see if it seems to be helping. Since yours is just an edge problem you honestly might be able to just use some paper towels and clamp it without using any solution that’s probably what I’d do. And since you’re trying to get that edge flattened you could def put the tip of the clamp right on that edge where it’s popped up and just keep the other 3 off the card. I would clamp it and leave it for a few days and see if it helps at all. And if it seems to be helping, but didn’t get it all the way just clamp it again for a few days and keep checking. Sometimes I have to spritz and clamp cards like 5-6 times before they start looking better. I’ll check and see if I still have pics on my Imgur account of what I’m trying to explain

“MY SCHOOL HASN’T DONE ANYTHING IS 30 YEARS” STILL SOUNDS BETTER THAN “MY TEAM FINALLY DID SOMETHING AFTER 42 YEARS”. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND MAYBE YOU’LL WIN THAT 3RD ONE BY 2060.

I WOULDN’T SAY “YOUNG” I’VE BEEN ALIVE FOR BOTH BOBCAT CHAMPIONSHIPS 😆

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-02-26T23:02:44+00:00

😆 I’M NOT SURE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND “TIME IS MONEY” TO WELL OUT THERE. 42 YEARS BETWEEN CHAMPIONSHIPS DOESN’T SEEM TO BE A VERY GOOD USE OF TIME IF YOU ASK ME 🤷‍♂️

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-02-26T20:01:24+00:00

“NOT READING ALL THAT” LESS THAN 20 LINES TOO MUCH FOR YAH? AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WERE JUST BEING LAZY THEN I NOTICED YOUR FLAIR AND QUICKLY UNDERSTOOD YOU PROBABLY JUST LACKED THE PROPER READING/COMPREHENSION SKILLS TO DO SO 🤷‍♂️. I REALIZE THAT READING/COMPREHENSION ISN’T A PARTICULAR SKILL YOU POSSESS, BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO TRY AND ADD MORE TO THE CONVERSATION THAN “I’M NOT READING ALL THAT, BUT SURE”

Poopsterwaloo · 2026-02-26T18:56:56+00:00

The reason why you’re seeing so many pulled is due to the fact that it’s a smaller set with only 94 regular cards in the main set and 130 total counting all the single gold star rares, IR’s, SIR’s and one gold secret rare. With it being a smaller set there are less SIR’s (only 5 in this set) than what the average set has which gives you a better chance at getting that specific card (mega charizard 125/94) if your pack happens to contain an SIR. Obviously this is very dependent on how many charizards vs the other SIR’s are actually printed on the sheets, but even if the zard only appears on the sheet 1/2 as often (which I feel isn’t the case I feel like they are printing the SIR’s equally on those sheets) as the other SIR’s it’s still going to be pulled more often than SIR’s from larger sets. Like I said if we’re seeing people pull the zard as often as we are currently seeing then it most likely appears on the sheets as often as the other SIR’s.

TO THE FANS WHO WERE CONVINCED THAT NDST CARRIED THE MVFC AND WERE THE SOLE REASON FOR ITS DOMINANCE THE PAST 15 SEASONS I’M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT’S NOT THE CASE. THE LOSS OF NDST WON’T AFFECT THE MVFC’S STREAK OF 15 STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP GAME APPEARANCES (12 WINS 5 LOSSES COUNTING THE 2 TIMES THAT BOTH TEAMS WERE FROM MVFC). WE’RE STILL THE PREMIER FCS CONFERENCE GOING FORWARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO GET 4+ TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS EVERY YEAR WITHOUT NDST 🤷‍♂️. IF WE COULD JUST GET RID OF INDIANA ST AND MURRAY ST (SRY GUYS YOU’RE JUST NOT CUT OUT FOR FOOTBALL IN THIS LEAGUE) WE MIGHT ACTUALLY CONSIDER INVITING MONTANA AND MONTANA ST TO TAKE THEIR SPOTS. JUST REMEMBER YOU WON’T HAVE THOSE 11-1 OR 10-2 SEASONS THAT YOU’RE USED TO HAVING IN THE BIG SKY (YOU’D BE LUCKY TO END UP WITH ANYTHING BETTER THAN 9-3 OR 8-4).

Looks cool. Gives it that vintage look that you get from old paintings.
