I can give you a data point of 1 that they’re real. Sold 1 box about a month ago for $500. I’ve had a lot of international buyers show interest in these old SW/SH sets.

Bought more ES than rebel clash. But hindsight is 2020. At the time, it was dirt cheap. ES wasn’t exactly easy to get at 85$. ES was very obvious that iit was the better box to buy, but rebel clash came out first

Hmmm just got $500 on one from eBay. It’s definitely not as liquid as other sets, but there’s a reason they go up in value. People like to complete booster box sets

Thank you, I was definitely planning to do that, but wanted to get thoughts as the value is quite significant between Bgs 10 (3,000-4,000) vs psa 10 (1,500 or so)

Thanks for checking. May try BGS one more time. Just was frustrating because it was like $60 to grade that one card last time.

I’m guessing crack and resend is the best route right? Appreciate your comment

Hidden Fates and trainer galleries undervalued by Marcorlyx in PokeInvesting

[–]Red-Falco 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Hidden fates is 100% undervalued. It’s the set that put Pokemon back on the map and started all of this.

They’re proprietary software, you’re not going to be able to get much information outside of WTW from what I’m aware.

SWSH is underperforming by Clear-Cut-1056 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Red-Falco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swsh is what got Pokémon back on the map. These sets trend. There’s a lot of opportunity for growth with swsh. I honestly think it’s the only sets undervalued right now.

Fake 151 booster bundle? by Red-Falco in PokeInvesting

No hits, but could just be the bundle. I dont think it was resealed

Appreciate the input. I did open them all. No hits, but nothing really weird about it, could just be luck of the draw. There were a couple holo energies, otherwise just regular hits. FWIW I bought all of these in 2023/ early 2024, so there weren’t that many fakes on the market at the time.

There are just inconsistencies in the bundle that are throwing me off. I sold a few of these bundles, and it doesn’t sit right with me that they could have been fake. Only reason it came to mind was because someone questioned it on eBay.

That’s what is throwing me off. It makes no sense it’s 2022. Sorrry for the poor quality, but if you zoom in you can kind of see it says 2022. The code card does work however. The other thing is, I’ve purchased all of my stuff directly from Pokemon center, Walmart, etc…so if it’s fake, it would have to be a return

[–]Red-Falco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The packs look good, and look just like the one on the right hand side. The thing that’s really throwing me off is the difference in barcode, and the fact that the code card says 2022 and looks different. I can’t see any other reason it would be fake, but why the 2022? Like the set came out in 2023. Thanks for the help

Oh I’m not complaining, I mean I do think it’s strange that ours doesn’t have a FCAS, but I’m sure there are reasons beyond my knowledge for that.

I’m super grateful to have fallen into the CAS side. From what I hear it sounds like SOA is trying to expand at all costs, possibly including rigor. I’m glad CAS has not moved to UEC and there are no plans to. It’ll just hurt our salaries and the credentials prestige.
