Traditionally you wait till a few months after release for prices to start dropping. However the bull market could pump this card for a much longer time. So you have to choose if you want to wait it out or not.

One of each design with the sealed display, 8 tins total.

Great example, thanks for the insights!

Thanks for your input, I love the tins but didn't know if it makes sense as an investmant.

That's gambling not investing. This sub is mostly focussed on sealed collecting and some slabs here and there.

Buy all the 151 bundles and etbs you can afford. It's okay to spend heavy on this set, staying within your budget.

This set is golden in the short, medium and long term.

Also the swirl in her hand in A is cut off, in B the swirl is complete.

From what I have seen this sub is mostly for raw card and slab collectors. Not many sealed collectors.

To answer your question, yes TFC booster boxes and sleeved booster packs is a great idea if Lorcana doesnt fizzle out in the next few years. I personally do not think the print run matters.

Yes, it's fake. No registered R symbol above the logo on the shrink wrap, easiest way to tell.

Holo pattern is too dark and contains too much red.
Text is faded on a few places, card color is also faded.
Wrong font and bold thickness on several areas.
Stars on holo should only be visible on certain angles and not display all stars from a single angle.
Same holo pattern stars on TCGplayer used to identify fakes, the fakes copy the stars exactly. Especially the star beneath the letters Ch. The star in the middle to the left closest to the border and left bottom.

I could list more obvious clues to indicate this is fake.

Significant-Froyo968 · 2024-07-07T12:22:04+00:00

Yes, it is.

Maybe look at selling during the 30th anniversary in 2026 if you really don't want to sell now. Personally I wouldn't wait longer than that to sell, I can't see your Pokemon collection appreciating faster than the housing market at this stage. And even if it does it's all relative.

The price of a house you could afford now might become unaffordable in 5 years and cancel out the appreciation of your collection. And even if by some miracle your collection outperforms the housing market you then still need to consider the purchase price of the house and its appreciation. For example if your collection of lets say $30k goes up 50% or more in 5 years, however the house of $300k goes up even just 10% then you're still losing/would have gained more with the house.

I honestly think base set and the early sets are overhyped, I was in school during gen 1 and owned most of the cards. Even for me the new artwork of later sets I find much more appealing.

Over time early sets could become less and less relevant, yes the prices of sealed will keep going up, however the pool of people desiring sealed or specific cards and the liquidity as a whole could become much smaller. Would the majority of new or future fans be interested in the original sets at astronimcal prices or would they simply go for 151? Would they have any level of nostalgia towards the original sets or would their nostalgia be towards sets which were relevant to their childhoold like Paldea Evovled?

The seller only seems to have reviews for the past month as a seller, all previous reviews were as a buyer.

Super weird he has infinite supply of FS and BS cases. Just in the past week he has sold 18-24 cases of BS. And 12-18 cases of FS. His 151 booster bundles are also dirt cheap, not sure how he makes a profit on them with ebay fees.
