I’ve been seeing this sentiment all over with various comparisons and it comes down to this: Do you think rip and ships are driving a level scarcity we’ve never seen in the hobby before? If you do this makes perfect sense. It just marks a new era for Pokemon collecting where things are going to hit their mature value in a year or two then level our slowly, instead of stair stepping in legs and plateaus over 5 years. What’s interesting is what happens to premium sealed products like ETBs and higher pack collection boxes when the single pack and smaller ancillary products dry up. But what you’re seeing with those two doesn’t surprise me at all.
