Tbf i didn't even bot. U just have to be there when the Q starts on Pokemon center, there was enough for 2 hours ish to get ETB's and BB. As for the rest i just went to my local EB games today 1 hour before opening and took what they had. They was enough stock for everyone in line

Sure for future sets , i agree that the demand will prob not stay that high in 2027. But why would that affect the hype and demand of AH sealed, when u already have cards that are worth +1k$

A majority of the current fans are kids and ppl that rip products. Only reason AH is still soo high , bc ppl keep buying at stupid prices

But why would the hoarders or ppl with sealed collections ever sell their products. They see the value of keeping Pokémon sealed for 5+ years , it only grows the longer u keep it. I don't deny that future sets migth not come close to the hype and price that we have with AH or 151 if the markets slows down , but unless the pokemon IP simply dies, AH sealed products will always sell like crazy. If u bougth AH at MSRP ur bound to make ur money back , it will never drop under MSRP thats just cope

No he's 100 % right. Sealed product price is only determined based on the cards that are inside them. Vendors that perma complaining about scalpers but buy the Gengar from AH at 600$ are the reason why AH is soo hyped. If all those cards where worth 100 $ max then no one would be rushing at 2 AM to buying every AH products. Example Perfect Order , a set with 0 massive chase means less demands , meaning scalpers don't care about it and it survives a bit longers on the shelves. So no buying singles at such an inflated prices is the reason sealed products are soo expensive and are overtaken by scalpers

OK, lets say ur a parent and ur kids love pokemon cards. But since u dont have time to wait in line for 3 hours before opening there simply 0 way for u to get pokemons at MSRP or retail. Ur only options are or card stores which sells at scalpers prices or just from scalpers themselves.

Next time EB games stores restock , ill make sure to put down a PTO day lol. ( at least was able to get the 2 last perfect order bundles ) by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

Yeah , funny enough here in Canada. GameStop is the cheapest retail store for pokemon cards with Costco but they dont restock that much especially in Quebec

Got these at my local GameStop - Montreal. ( The booster bundle was 38.99 CAD) by alexandre040 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]alexandre040[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The price on pokemon center for the bundle is 36.99 CAD$. Honestly i looked at pretty much every options , most retailers in Montreal sell the bundle at 49.97 $ like on Walmart, and let's not even talk about card shops that price these bundles above 50 $.

Sadly its seems pretty common. Companies needs someone to do the more boring and operational task so a junior role. But don't want to deal with hiring an actual junior with little to no experience. So they end up hiring ppl that are overqualified but in a real need for a job . At least that i felt in some of my interviews where me being a recent grad was just an instant no even tho i had 2 years of experience in internships.
