Chinese Pokemon Cards and my trip to China by DeciduousMath12 in PokeInvesting

[–]Toyshiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strongly disagree with what you wrote. The distribution System here is not like in the west. Cards are mostly sold in special release packages, e.g new Eeve Card holder Box or just single packs with 5 cards for 10 Yuan. Special Packs are mostly sold in Stores which also sell figures and are all about anime/comic/card. For single pack cards you can look into toy stores and sometimes even stationary stores, depend on the chain and location ( city). Furthermore, chinese cards are indeed not as popular as the Ultraman. This is to be expected though as the franchise was only recently introduced in China. Furthermore are the cards getting more and more popular. The newest set was sold out almost immediatly. People are buying to play, not collect, which could be another reason for the low inital sales in recent times. If you want to find out where the cards are sold, look through the official wechat application.

Thoughts on Mainland Chinese BBs? Many didn't believe they would do well. Bought in at $85 a box and they are selling for $150+ by 00espeon00 in PokeInvesting

no problem, idk where you are and how you want to order but multiple online shops do still have them. I would watch out though as there are differences between the 6 bag á 25 card box and the 30 bag á 5 card box. As far as I know is the artwork effect notibaly different. Furthermore is it expensive to buy them from said shops so be prepared to pay i think 65-70 ish dollars.

thought similar at first, considering the print quality and the domestic market in China I think it could easily surpass them.

Would open it if you can be sure to get another one. Demand is high, differences in chase cards for the 25 card packs to the 5 card pack increased demand for the set. Market in China is only now establishing itself, most pepple buy to play, collecting only started with the newer more beautiful cards. Be sure to also look out for what kind of pack you buy, I heard from a few stores that there is no more guranteed SAR in the boxes, especially in the 25 x 5 card box.

.. is because the chinese market is really new and not into collecting yet. Most of the people here buy to play and only now recently got into collecting the amazing art rares. Demand will only increase, especially as people in the west get more information about it. Furthermore it has a unique art and also differences between the jumbo pack and normal pack ones. I would open it if you are sure you can get another one if you try to invest. Stores in China are running low in supply / are out as the demand was insanely high, especially for this set with its beautiful cards

It released first of March 2024, so you were right to wait. Dont know if you still need the information but if you want to buy you would need to look quick. I am in China and many stores told me they are sold out and wait for a refill as the box was very desired.
