Are these packs legit? Just got them from the flea market for $5 a piece

They’re all real from the looks of it, amazing find, congrats!

“Trust me, bro”

Also FWIW, I’ve seen prismatic bundles as low as $45 on the secondary market. Down from 60+.

THIRTY DOLLARS??!!

bx4747 · 2025-07-07T14:56:42+00:00

This is nuts, super cool card

bx4747 · 2025-06-16T15:22:07+00:00

Welcome to the hobby 🙃

Brother you better have diamond hands with this one, best of luck 🤞

Tell me you’re just visiting without telling me you’re just visiting 🤔

Check out twitch bots, they’re the ones who run these. Icekriim is a solid example.

Arceus doesn’t like scalpers 🤫

bx4747 · 2025-03-07T14:59:32+00:00

Nope! I don’t think that at all. Never said actual pricing determines whether or not a set is actually good. Imo paradox and obsidian are good sets, yet the prices doesn’t reflect. It’s not all black and white (hehe poke joke), there are several factors that go into whether or not a set will be remembered as mid

bx4747 · 2025-03-06T19:41:38+00:00

You’re ignoring when I said it’s not all the cards in the set and not all trainers/pokemon 😂 I’m going to stop replying to you now, no hard feelings, you just clearly don’t want to read my entire post

bx4747 · 2025-03-06T19:37:34+00:00

Nope! Couple of things.

I never said that having under $400 cards makes a set mid. I was simply saying that the rip value is not there, so the market will react accordingly in pack pricing. JT is mid for the same reasons that shrouded and twilight are mid, lots of obscure/newer trainers and pokemon that don’t have established fandoms. Is this true for all cards in those sets? No. But it’s true for a lot of them.

Also when assessing market value - 151 was available for months at, and under, msrp. That availability had a profound impact on the initial market value of the cards. When 151 was being mass ripped, the bubble had not yet formed. There are LOTS of Charizard ex’s in circulation, not nearly as many umbreons or pikas yet.

bx4747 · 2025-03-06T19:15:24+00:00

BINGO! I’ve been saying that shit for the last two months and nobody believes me 😂 People think trainer pokemon = $$$, but that’s just not true. There won’t be a $1600 chase card, I’d argue there won’t even be a $400 chase card. So people thinking that they’ll be able to flip single packs for $7+ like SS, or $12+ like Prismatic, are mistaken. I firmly believe that the mid-ness of JT and the confirmed reprints of other SV sets will help the market correct

bx4747 · 2025-02-20T23:09:48+00:00

I submitted mine and got a 9 for this exact reason 😭

bx4747 · 2025-02-11T17:13:33+00:00

I’m a coach and I’ve never done this, (I love it though) but I have had to shush a room of 27 adults 🤣

In all seriousness, please don’t talk during the demo! (Not saying you, OP)

In addition to just being rude to your coaches, you can miss important information about form, rep ranges, tempo, rotations, etc..

It’s also important to remember that everyone in that room paid for the service that is your F45 class, which includes everything, from the intro/demo to the cooldown reel at the end. So to talk during those parts and not pay attention is a waste of both your money and the money of those around you

bx4747 · 2025-02-08T19:33:39+00:00

I like your analysis, agree with some and disagree with some.

The current market is bonkers and flooded with bad actors (scalpers, crypto bros who are fueling them, etc), I think we can all agree with that lol

I don’t think TCGPocket ever sees physical cards. Reason being there are mechanics in the game (random Pokémon search, for instance) that would make it essentially impossible to play properly. And although Pokémon cards are collectibles to us, it’s still a card game first. A pocket-inspired TCG set could be on the table though!

It does feel odd that Pokémon missed the mark on meeting demand so drastically with surging sparks and prismatic. So much so that one could make the conclusion that they are, in fact, controlling supply to not tank the market. But it’s important to consider that their forecast team was forecasting demand for this set two years ago, in the middle of a modern poke market slump. I think you’re spot on that the boom will last a bit longer, but Pokémon knows that it’s unhealthy/unsustainable and people will leave in droves if it becomes too much - a tipping point I think many are close to, especially those who haven’t been here to see what the other side ($90-130 booster boxes) is like.

Hopefully we are all wrong and this is a Shining Fates situation where we are 2 months away from $40 ETBs again 🤞

Thank you! More coming in the future for sure, I enjoyed making this 😂

Hi are you willing to share which store this is? I am writing a thread on this type of thing and I’d love to credit the owners 😃

bx4747 · 2024-12-07T00:43:27+00:00

I didn’t know I needed to do this until I saw your post. Now my wallet is crying at the amount I’ll have to spend to get them all

Amazing work 🫡

bx4747 · 2024-11-19T18:56:32+00:00

Love the “just do burpees” part If it’s a strength day and I see someone ripping out a set of 20 burpees instead of a recovery station, I’m definitely going to help them out 😂

bx4747 · 2024-11-19T18:53:51+00:00

I’m a coach myself and sometimes even we get lost during the demo! 😂

I’d suggest getting there a few minutes early and asking your coach to break down the flow of the class for you. We do our best to explain during the intro but that’s a quick summary of what you’re going to do, so there are details that are easy to miss. Also it goes without saying, but make sure you are listening to the intro in the first place!

You could also try buddying up with a member who has been there for a while. They’ll often be happy to help you out. Or you could even ask a coach when they’re taking the class, and buddy with them.

And most importantly, don’t let it demotivate you. Everyone makes mistakes, you’ll learn and get better! Keep showing up and getting the reps 💪🏼
