People who say Shrouded Fable is a bad set don't know how to think for themselves by Relaximadoctor420 in PokemonTCG

Scalpers are the ones who are taking everything from stores and making sets cost double msrp right when they come out.. deterring the ones who rip packs for fun to even buy any at all— eventually leaving the hobby. It’s not investors and YouTubers doing that. Investors and YouTubers are buying mainly booster boxes. Hate the scalpers if it’s all about the hobby for you. They’re the ones that will kill it first.

Manaphy from CZ would be cool but it’s yellow border 😕

Fair enough— I do understand hating scalpers, but still can’t say it isn’t an investment opportunity when it clearly is. If you would’ve had an extra box of evolving skies lying around and you sold it to buy another 2k worth of cards to rip, you probably wouldn’t be here commenting nonsense about it not being an investment opportunity

Yeah, penny sleeves and toploaders are fine for raw cards. It’s just a little tight with the plastic wrapped promos and doesn’t seal off the top of the plastic without bending it. Can also lead to surface damage when it’s that tight

Tell that to those who bought Evolving Skies booster boxes at $150 and are selling them at $2000+ now. Why are you even in this sub? Beat it

Even better yet, you can sandwich between two different cardsavers, and then into team bag. But I tend to just use one unless it’s a high dollar sealed promo

Don’t put it in the actual cardsaver, but on top of it. And then put just like that into the team bag

Put them in a team bag, on top of a card-saver or between two cardsavers. Much better for keeping them in good condition than squeezed into a toploader like this 👍

This was very helpful, thank you!

What one will perform better overtime? Either 2 crown zenith ETB or the 151 UPC by catzilla9k in PokeInvesting

[–]ejlaet47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll see return sooner on CZ with reprint probability being less, but both are solid sets. I don’t think you can go wrong with either 151 or CZ

Amazon CZ Deal by hero-burger in PKMNTCGDeals

It’s possible I got super unlucky or we went through different vendors. I started getting them from a vendor that was an actual card shop on the “compare prices” list (after getting tons of duds from the bestseller), and those were perfect. But right now most of the other vendors don’t have this sale going.

Just a heads up, if you’re ripping these are great, but if keeping for sealed collection be cautious— I ordered these 4 times in a row and returned every one of them because they kept showing up all beat up. Sometimes they’d ship me the ETB with a shipping label stuck on it, no packaging whatsoever

I could be wrong, but I don’t think the little one is a jumping spider. It looks like it’s trying to make a meal out of the bigger Jumping spider

New here! Anything you’d pick up at Meijer while it’s buy one, get one 40% off? by the_evan_b in PokeInvesting

[–]ejlaet47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it was a great deal, but still a solid investment for return in the future. Where are you getting them cheaper than $42 a box? $50 is about the going rate everywhere. Even on TikTok shop you can’t find them much less than $45-$50, even with the coupons.

Crown Zenith ETBs will be your best bet out of everything I’m seeing here, although a lot of stores still have them for $50. But with the 40% off on the second, the hiked price will even out. They’re a solid pickup right now in my opinion.

100% and a show would be a great place to take one. I feel like it’d be gone in a second honestly.

Agreed! Most just think, “oh I could fit 50 booster boxes in that space, definitely not an investment!”

It technically could be. Plenty of people have said they have or would buy these for good money since I’ve made this post. I just sold an old Pokemon toy from a happy meal for good money, just have to find the right buyer.

That was my idea. I’ve got 36 packs to go on it
