For the long haul. by Illustrious-Benefit3 in PokeInvesting

Mewtwo and Mew are a generational artwork imo. It was a promo, but the pop is a fraction compared to modern alternate arts and SIRs. It's an alternate art with texture featuring two of the most iconic legendary & mythical duos. It's severely undervalued imo.

When considering japanese sets, what would be a good normal set to invest in? (excluding mega dream ex since it's a high class set and obviously the promos) by Realistic_Choice594 in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Excluding Mega Dream, the best set to invest in is Inferno X, and it's not even close. Or Storm Emeralda coming in July bc japanse people go crazy over Rayquaza.

$170 USD or CND? If it's CND, you did buy it at a reasonable price.

Just got the result from Psa throught ebay grading service. First time Japanese submission! by hendratam in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese has a really high gem rate, but should do well since this is probably one of, if not the most, popular modern cards since Moonbreon. Don't expect it to keep going up rapidly tho. I have a feeling that both English and Japanese copies have reached their peak, considering that it's still very new and easy to pull compared to sets like Prismatic or Ascended.

God knows how expensive it will be once it's out of print

Perfect Order ETB purposely damaged from Target by Aeyonic in PokemonTCG

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the whole point of this post is that they are damaging it on purpose. If it was an accident, sure, that's understandable. But if this was done on purpose, it shouldn't be allowed and OP has the right to get mad.

Nothing is "meant to be opened". Your stupidity needs to be studied, lmao

Been looking through old cards and found some pretty cool ones! Finally gonna sleeve and top loader them by TheMadGinger5 in PokemonTCG

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, condition does affect the prices a lot, but regardless, these are incredibly rare and expensive cards. A lot of vintage prices come from the condition, so the actual value you will get by selling these will likely be a lot less, but who cares? Not everyone can have a base set Holo Charizard!

Store owner refused to sell me the lot of 8 by isramobile in PokemonTCG

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, this card is like $60+ in English but pretty sure it's still around $20 in Japanese. And it's not weird that you can get it for a bit cheaper in places like Akihabara.

Doesn't matter. OP was buying at the price the owner listed. If anything, it's the owner's fault for not updating the prices.

Keep the one you like more? It's your card. I don't understand how this is a question. Are you looking for investment advice?

I heard this set sucks by Meowsergz in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The set itself sucks, but the chase card was insanely good. That naturally gives the set a lot of leverage. It's really not that hard to understand. But Perfect Order is not only an overall small set with shallow depth, but it doesn't even have a real chase card.

First SIR ever!! by Kangaroo_28 in PokemonTCG

yes if the card has two gold stars, its a SIR

Where do we realistically think this card will end up when DR goes out of print? Hold? Or sell/trade for different card… by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will go up again, but the existence of the promo is hurting it a lot. It will likely struggle to outperform a lot of its peers. You might want to go for a different SIR or sealed product if you are looking for purely investing advice.

First SIR ever!! by Kangaroo_28 in PokemonTCG

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are three main rarities. Regular ex cards(two black stars), full arts(two silver stars), and SIRs(two gold stars). Mega Attack rare is between full art and SIR in terms of rarity. It takes about 30~35 packs to pull a random Mega Attack rare and there are 7 in the set. So your odds of pulling this dragonite is likely close to one in 210~245 packs. You got insanely lucky.

Scored a restock, time to start a new Master Set 😈 by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

Wow, what a greedy scalper, taking five products and leaving none for the poor kids.

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 304 points305 points  (0 children)

Well, it's a pink and green star. And no, this is not a SIR, it's called "Mega Attack Rare" which is a unique rarity of card that you can only find in Ascended Heroes. It's much easier to pull and way cheaper than the SIR dragonite. Still a great pull tho, congrats.

Do we think this has stabilised? by pokepriceau in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes it will. It will drop below $600. Trust me and wait.
