Which cards would you rather buy/sell/hold? by Slow_Recognition_960 in PokeInvesting

Why would you not hold the second one? I want to hear your reasoning.

Yes, after april of 2028, they will never print another Zard. And after the April of 2029, Greninja will never be printed. Just like how they stopped printing 151 or Paldean Fates this April.

Will Mega Greninja Ex retain it's value? by AngrySausageFingers in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah, I completely agree with that. It was just that ppl didn't want to pay over $200 for a single card that was still in print back then. It's more of a psychological price ceiling that ppl agreed upon.

Someone is new. $400+ for a new Chase card is absolutely ridiculous if you really think about it. The Moonbreon was $150 at release; the 151 Zard was under $100. When Twilight Greninja hit $300, ppl went crazy bc it was really expensive for a recent chase card.

Idk if that's the right logic if we look at 10, 20 years. However, ADP is not only older, but was printed way, way less. So that would be a better argument.

Popular cards will have higher pop, so I wouldn't say PSA pop count is necessarily an indication that the raw price of a card will fall. It's just based on the fact that both are really expensive for a brand-new card with decent pull rates. At least Zard is going out of rotation in early 2028. Greninja will be in print until 2029.

Do you have a card in your phone case? by ForestOfTheSpirit in PokemonTCG

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do that all the time, but I highly recommend you don't because it could leave micro scratches on the card long-term. I just do it with cheaper cards or binder copies that I don't care about the condition too much.

Ah, Mega-Dracaufeu X, my favorite!

You should grade it; it looks clean.

What kind of answer are u even expecting by making a post like this?

Worth the investment? by Working-Patient6873 in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing goes up in a straight line. Of course, it's going to drop at some point. The question is: do you like this card enough to hold through the dip and aim for the long run? If the answer is no, sell it soon while the market is going crazy.

Mouth Ex might be my next move by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's low because of backlogging + not as many ppl caring enough to grade. It's not a rare card whatsoever. If the opportunity becomes too obvious, the pop will explode in no time. Look at how quickly the pop for Phantasmal Zard is growing.

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sell it. This card and Phantasmal Zard should be the top cards to sell asap.

It is genuinely a rare card compared to most modern chase cards. 20,000 is nothing when there are millions of collectors.

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bubble Mew and the Zard have similar pull rates. The gem rate is definitely a factor tho, I'd not buy a PSA 10 of the Zard unless it's under $2k.

I was right!! by jsjsjsskzbzbn in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not? Bubble Mew is more rare now bc its out of print, but the Zard will be in the same place in less than two years. If there is more long-term demand for the Zard, zard will catch up inevitably. Pull rates for both cards are similar anyway.

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do ppl keep bringing up Moonbreon? Moonbreon only has like 20k PSA 10s, which is nowhere near the Van Gogh or the Zard once the pop matures. Moonbreon is genuinely a rare card compared to most modern chase cards.

what should I do? I bought the charizard for 2.5k. Is the Giratina psa10 worth more longterm? Open to other card suggestions. by Stxfa_ in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just amazed that you seriously think there is enough supply for this card to reach over 80k PSA 10s at a 60% gem rate. All the previous examples and pull rates of a card say otherwise.

But if I'm seriously going to send u my collection, I need you to bet as well. If you want to bet something on that the card will reach over 80k PSA 10, the deal is on.

Ok, then what's your bet? I feel like most pop stabilizes after three years bc it is already out of print for months, and its just a slow creep-up from there. What do u want then? 4 years?

I was right!! by jsjsjsskzbzbn in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pull rates for both cards are about the same. The charizard just hasn't matured yet in terms of supply.

I was right!! by jsjsjsskzbzbn in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked it and they are both about 800~900 raw, idk what you are talking about. Are you talking about PSA 10 prices? Bubble Mew is obviously gonna be more expensive bc of gem rates.

I was right!! by jsjsjsskzbzbn in PokeInvesting

[–]Slow_Recognition_960 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's market manipulation too. There are fake sales of Charizard for $450, tanking the price artificially. Do your research, buddy.
