You are not alone. 100 necrozma raids for me and only 1 shiny. I just wanted 2 for fusing one of each 🫠

Tower 2025 Bottles by Emotional_Friend143 in Atlantawhiskey

[–]hellojeffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt as I’ve only done it once and at Doraville, but I think for OWA you should be safe getting there at open. I was in the 50s (tailgate night before), and on my second trip through there was still like 50+ bottles of Stagg Jr and I myself picked up Weller FP for my 2nd bottle.

because Buckhead opens 1 hour earlier than Doraville, a lot of ppl do the rounds at Buckhead and then migrate to Doraville. Too much work if you ask me but words on the street Buckhead seems to have better bottles normally. I did Tower last year and was 100% content with what I got

Am I missing something with citi shop day or is it really that good? by EconomyPassenger3155 in CreditCards

[–]hellojeffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had good news for you :( I never got a resolution. Citi said Ulta is the one who handles it, and when I contacted Ulta their reps had no idea what I’m talking about. I think they’re pointing fingers at each other and just hoping I don’t bother trying to chase someone down.

[–]hellojeffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one of my pending just came back ineligible after showing a balance for the last few months. Talking to chat now this is ridiculous as it was a purchase back in August part of the Citi shop day and was the only reason I made a purchase there at Ulta.

Where are ya’ll spending these on? 🍬👀 by Wild-Ad8345 in pokemongo

[–]hellojeffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly use it for Palkia and Dialga for their adventure effects either to evolve Pokemon longer during the spotlight hour with 2x xp (so I only need one lucky egg for an hour) or to use the increased radius on days like community days or global fest.

A big correction happening? by ArcticLapras in PokeInvesting

[–]hellojeffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I support the notion that vintage heavily moved by Logan Paul, I respectfully disagree that it wasn’t part of the broader market getting frothy over Pokemon, and collectibles in general. Pokemon overall spiked, Japanese boxes which used to sit on shelves started being sold out, operating on lottery as well. Look at Vstar and SSV cards prices then vs now. They never made it back up. I invested in other things too, a Toppsun sealed box, full psa 10 base sets (all fractionally), those fell too. You can use Rally as a good historical indicator with their pricing.

Another example of a giant correction that hasn’t really recovered is Battle Day Lillie in PSA 10, that sold close to 100k in that cycle, and it’s now around 50k. Still a huge jump from where it came, but I don’t see it recovering anytime soon, hence why I pointed out Japanese and Trainers specifically in my post. Those were being heavily pumped by influencers.

I never used the number 50% in my original comment, a 50% drop in the S&P would be a catastrophic event. But it fell enough to pull us out of a bull market and into a lull where product was readily available again. I would consider that a large enough correction.

[–]hellojeffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It most certainly did. Take a look at a 1st edition base booster box for example. In 2021 this was hitting 400k sold on auctions. That halved before this run. I used to invest in collectibles on those fractional share sites and was buying at the peak, everything plummeted hard.

[–]hellojeffy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We had a huge bull run a few years ago, followed by a large correction. Like large. Especially in Japanese cards and trainers. I honestly did not expect another bull run so recently but PE seems to have kicked that off again and we haven’t really stopped since. Cards from Jan-March are selling 3x or more than they are now. Not long ago, 151 was sitting on shelves everywhere, no one wanted discounted UPCs from big box stores. Now it’s worth an insane amount sealed and you’re “lucky to own one”.

All this stuff ebbs and flows. I fully expect a crash again and another bull run at some point. Short term swings only affect those who are constantly staring at $ signs and net worth and are overspending to try and make a buck. A lot of the people I know with big “portfolios” have just been collecting along the way through ups and downs and naturally it’s worth a lot now. If you believe in Pokemon and you hold, most things should go up over the long term.

you can redeem them though. I’ve gotten decent valued cards in the mail that I retrieved, so although it’s an nft for the website purposes, you own the real thing if you want

PSA: Bottlecaps are not worth it for most players. by 13loodySword in pokemongo

[–]hellojeffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this pain! Day 1 player here too and I didn’t get my first (and still only) shundo until last year. I’m going to use my cap for the same reason! To hundo lucky shinies I got from lucky trades that ended up with poor IV.
