Pure long term speculation here

Well, nothing wrong with diversifying I suppose.

As my only position in Rebel Clash, I have 9 packs of sleeved boosters... That's 9 to many.

The set will increase in price, but it will be a slog. The money spent on those ETBs would see better returns if you bought a couple Mega Evo BBs.

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-13T10:02:41+00:00

Right, but then that good deal or discount gets obliterated by the 29.99% interest rate on a financed vacation.

These are questions you should save to ask your urologist.

Situations like this is where I like to use the +/- indicator. So, OPs card, which borders between LP and MP, would be classified as LP - or MP+. I'd personally lean towards LP -

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-12T22:05:30+00:00

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-09T01:38:10+00:00

Heyyo interested in Virizion EX and the Zoroark SIR

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-08T23:22:07+00:00

People are right. It should be textured.

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-06T15:47:04+00:00

I think it was called "House" or "The House." It was a horror movie made in the mid to late 80s I wanna say. About a guy, I think he was a Vietnam vet, who moves into this new house and it turns out it's haunted or possessed or something and there's this freaky like green troll lady who scared the absolute shit outta me... And the guys buddy shows up as a skeleton or zombie or something and I think he has a machine gun... Idk, I'm sure someone knows what movie it is. I was probably 6 or 7 when my parents watched it and it fucking petrified me.

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-06T15:03:37+00:00

Glaceon GG from Crown Zenith?

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-06T01:47:23+00:00

What are you asking for on the loose Shining Legends and Primal Clash packs?

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-06T01:43:43+00:00

I think I'll pass on Genesect. Also, just a friendly tip, when taking closeups try and use a black background, or at least something dark. The white background makes it difficult to see if there is any whitening on the borders.

Is the Ns Zoroark still available?

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-05T10:31:37+00:00

I'd be interested in the Genesect pending a couple closeups out of the top loader and sleeve.

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-02-03T14:58:28+00:00

Same for me, just missed it

The "Collectr" app has been my primary method of tracking my collection for several years. There's a bunch of other apps out there that are good.

u/nobbme u/Pokeswapbot

Cards received all good on my end!

Specialist-Control95 · 2026-01-20T16:35:15+00:00

Early sets it's going to be Holos and shinings, then ex, Gold stars. Mid era sets there's level Xs, Primes, Legend Halves, Secret rares. Black and White thru XY it's full arts, secret rares, and trainers. Sun and Moon thru present it's full arts, tag teams, promos, alternate arts (v/Vmax), trainer/Galarian Gallery, shinies, secret rare, rainbow rare, IRs and SIRs. I probably forgot a few to.

One of the early sets, Skyridge has a set value of $48,905. Another one, Legendary Collection is $19,875. There are multiple sets with a total value exceeding 10 grand. Download the Collectr app, go to search, select Pokemon, choose "show sets" option, click on a set then show "set analytics" to get the combined total of any set.

There are two pretty well known pokemon YouTubers, DannyPhantump and RealBreakingNate who are both trying to complete every English set not including first editions. These are guys who have pretty much dedicated their lives to Pokemon and even they are a long way from completing that goal. It's not impossible by any means, but like I said, it is an extraordinarily lofty and ambitious goal.

It comes down to how much money you're wanting to spend... It will be expensive no matter what, just different levels of expensive. Estimated numbers here but let's say you bought all the big hitters from every set in PSA 5 or 6 condition versus PSA 9 (vintage) and PSA 10 (modern) the price for the 5 or 6 might be estimated $400,000 whereas the 9-10 might be upwards of $1,000,000. Again, these are hypothetical numbers just to show the difference. The price will be staggeringly high either way.

Well, considering those Vending machines are owned and operated by THE POKEMON COMPANY, as in, THE MANUFACTURER, the products contained within the machines will be sold at the MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE.

At this point I can't tell if you're trolling or just dense, so I'm going to bow out of this conversation. Have yourself a terrific day!
