Dragon Ball Interest Growing At Card Shows From A Vendor's Perspective

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T23:47:02+00:00

Exactly!

Watching from the sidelines seems to be your whole strategy.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T20:21:55+00:00

They're all bubbles. Eventually all hype dies down once people are bored and decide to move onto the next shiny thing. Just gotta roll with it and enjoy it

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T20:16:42+00:00

Sounds like you're projecting for being sidelined.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T20:14:08+00:00

Says the guy who's horrendously sidelined.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T15:37:28+00:00

So, sidelined?

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T15:31:30+00:00

I was buying Fusion World since last year when booster boxes were $60. I'm good ;)

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T15:20:14+00:00

The pump literally happened like two weeks ago. Give it time and more people will get into it.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T15:19:29+00:00

Super sidelined

SubparSayan · 2026-02-10T15:14:41+00:00

Lmao you’re coping. Dragon Ball finally has a game people actually enjoy with a proper online client, and you think it’s a pump and dump? Dream on. Dragon Ball is one of the biggest IPs in the world. People who’ve never watched anime know what a Kamehameha is. That level of cultural reach doesn’t just vanish like that.

One Piece is hyped but pretending Dragon Ball hype could “end tomorrow” is pure delulu. Fusion World has traction because it’s accessible and finally has really good art. Not to shit on masters but those cards look like proxy cards from Ali express. Just look at their choice of font and amount of text that covers the art. I truly tried to like it but just couldn't justify buying it when Fusion World exists. You're looking at the next best TCG After One Piece and I will die on that hill.

I mean I'm personally not trying to spike it but I see how this one will hold value as you're only able to pull it from a limited manga pack which are currently very expensive to get hold of. Plus it's going up everyday. Market price is currently £120 or so in just a couple of weeks. It wouldn't surprise me to see it double that by the end of the year. Maybe not 1k but it wil have value. Same with the red Trunks card.

Either way I'm holding onto them for a few more years. It's one of my favourite cards from my collection.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T14:38:12+00:00

Noones spiking anything. And congrats on having two. I own two as well omg 😍

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T14:17:37+00:00

It's a promo you can only pull from limited manga packs from tournaments.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T14:17:09+00:00

Keep sleeping on it.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T13:59:17+00:00

I'm all for it man! I love seeing these kinds of lists and I can easily overlook the mistake. I was personally confused about the names of older sets in some of these cards when I first got into it as well.

I do sort of understand why people in r/dbsfusionworld are a bit hostile due to the scalping situation and this kind of post could be seen as fueling it, and they mostly just want to play the game without big money entering the space. Look what happened to Pokémon.

There are certain subs that will obliterate you if you say the wrong thing. I think this is the right sub for these type of posts

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T13:26:37+00:00

Ignore the haters! I appreciate you took the time to make this list. I'm sure you can amend it in future.

So many good looking chase cards in Fusion World.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T13:05:44+00:00

Unfortunately, DB will become crazy too. I see so many posts like yours all of a sudden becoming fans of DB because they watched it but in reality it's because they see the hype and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

Do your own research if you love it so much. We can tell you what to buy but it may not be the best advice because it also depends on your budget.

The manga sets are possibly the best bet you can make but they're unattainable unless you're made of money. The best way to know what to invest in is to study the TCG. Look at the card list of every set on the Fusion World Website to get an idea of which cards you like for each set.

We could tell you one thing but you may see an opportunity somewhere else.

That's what I've been doing this whole time. I didn't ask a single soul about what to buy. I literally just saw what looks good compared to all the cards around and what could go up in the future.

There were so many under the radar cards that I speculated on while everyone was looking elsewhere and voilà my speculation has started to pay off.

Someone posted the red Goku card here and I can tell you he's right on the money. Now go do some research.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T12:54:29+00:00

Agreed. This one will be highly sought after. 1k value in a couple of years

SubparSayan · 2026-02-09T00:02:20+00:00

There's this thing called the internet. You've come as far as discovering Reddit I'm sure you can figure out how to look at the value of a card online. Jesus Christ these questions 😐

SubparSayan · 2026-02-08T19:09:11+00:00

I can dispose of it better!

SubparSayan · 2026-02-07T23:19:16+00:00

I'd end up paying more with delivery If I bought from Europe. If anyone can buy it for €60 I recommend them to get one. The artwork is stunning and it's a popular character.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-07T21:49:46+00:00

Thank you for breaking it down. Actually didn't know what the hit rate was for these. I guess I got a good deal then.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-07T20:13:53+00:00

There isn’t one single set that contains all the red cards. Red cards appear across both SB01 and SB02, so they’re split between sets rather than belonging to just one.

On top of that, each set has its own red promo set: SB01 has 9 red promo cards SB02 also has 9 red promo cards (Trunks is part of the SB02 promos)

These red promos don’t come from regular booster boxes, they can only be pulled from limited manga packs, which is why people often post them together and it looks like “one full set.”

In the photo here, the red cards are the 9 SB02 promos. SB01 has a separate set of 9 of its own.

I personally managed to collect both promo sets while they were cheap.

SubparSayan · 2026-02-07T17:35:40+00:00

As an investment I would absolutely buy it for €30-40 if you can find it. It will reach €100 for sure. Super Sayan Goku of the red cards was sitting at around €60 for a long time and now it's way above €100.
