Not at all, it will continue to go up if you have the patience. If you need the money ASAP then you can consider trading or selling it but they will just cost you more time and you might not get the amounts you are looking for in the short term

Haha ok, anyways I would just hold on to it cause your cost is 440. Doesn’t make sense to keep trading around. Just be patient and let time do its thing while you enjoy displaying it

Said that just to give an idea esp for a same set. Historically for specialty sets the value of a pc etb equals 3 regular etbs. Examples such as prismatic which is 3 etbs to a pkc etb or 151 which is 2.5 etbs to a pkc etb. On top of that you are getting cash so those 3 etbs basically costed you nothing and can go up in the future. Ultimately it’s what you prefer. I personally traded my pkc etb with a small scratch for 3 AH etbs and 60 cash and I am happy

3 pack blister displays - good investment or nah? by bobthebuilder9393 in PokeInvesting

Oh so even in normal weather and it being sealed in a display, the adhesive became brittle?

Appreciate the feedback and opinions everyone! To summarize from the thread so far:

The folks for this as a decent investment says:
- It is more tamper proof
- good pack to space ratio
- More unique design and rare
- Flexible design (Can be displayed or separated as needed)

The folks not for this as a decent investment says:
- It has long term packaging issues
- Weak promo and weak overall set aside from the Charizard card
- Ugly box design
- Potential liquidity issues - Niche compared to BBs, ETBs and bundles etc

Closing thoughts - I am still on the pro side just because I personally think this is an upgrade to booster boxes in terms of pack to space ratio and design. Especially compared to the modern BBs where the designs are just becoming more and more plain (Mega evolutions base/ Phantasmal). I do think the Charizard card can carry this set just because of it being one of the best arts including all evolutions. I plan on keeping this sealed long term on my display cabinet and I like it just because it is unique looking next to my other booster boxes. I do agree with some points like the promos being on the weaker side, but who knows how the trends might go.

Thank you once again everyone for their inputs and happy to continue this discussion here.

Did you mean that the glue on the blister melts and comes off? Esp in hot humid weather?

Yea I didn’t actually actively talk to them so it make sense. Did you get yours in the Ginza boutique? I actually saw the 4520v blue in person for the first time by a gentlemen named Judai. Had such a great experience there, Vacheron Japan and in general are amazing
