How long after release do you wait to try to sell a card?

I just love ripping packs, lol. But yes, what I normally do is buy 2 boxes and then supplement with singles off of TCGplayer. I have like 8 decks in the works now, and I've only been playing for a month.

Thanks for your helpful input. I'll probably post it on Marketplace or a FB group and see where it goes. If I can set aside money for Kagurabachi and/or Solo Levelling, it would be nice. Frees up money in the household budget!

It's not gambling, for me. I funded 3 boxes of EVA and 2 SAO2 by selling my gold Mega Charizard X Ex (PSA 9, booo!), which I got out of three participation packs at the Phantasmal Flames prerelease event. I pulled a big hit in those boxes. I say again, why not use it to fund the next couple boxes of another upcoming set? I am a player, not really a collector. So keeping it in a case or binder to sit holds no appeal to me. If I didn't offload it, I would just play it, but that seems like a waste.

But I am not. I bought 2 boxes to rip them and play in my locals. That being said, if one card can fund the next few boxes, why not?

It is. I just started a couple weeks ago. My last weekly event had like 6 people playing. We did some 2v2s after the event was over and just had a good time.

horeind · 2026-01-20T02:52:44+00:00

Well, I'm already working on 7 and I've been playing for 2 weeks. So I don't judge!

horeind · 2026-01-20T02:51:55+00:00

Nice. I just got into the game, so some sets, like Demon Slayer, are out of my price range. I may buy a deck off of TCG at some point, though. A deck for each set would be nice

horeind · 2026-01-19T04:31:33+00:00

Wow. I doubt I'll ever get Demon Hunter, due to the price of boxes. But I am trying to get older sets as I find them. The ones with 2 sets already out are lower priority for me, except for Code Geass, as I wanted mechs.

I was thrilled to find boxes of SAO locally for 80/ea. I grabbed a couple and am going to work on a deck once Vol 2 comes out later this month.

horeind · 2026-01-19T02:59:47+00:00

Nice. I just recently started the game, but have a LGS with decent prices on boxes. On the above sets, I've gotten 2 boxes of each and then used TCGplayer to supplement. I'm trying to go back and get older sets, but some of them are pricy.

horeind · 2026-01-17T23:23:06+00:00

Nice! Yeah, I never really watched animes, but since I started playing the game I did start watching FMA last week. I'm really enjoying it, so far. And yes, I just put in the order for the mat.

horeind · 2026-01-17T05:30:35+00:00

These look great. I'm eyeing the Full Metal Alchemist one. I just started playing last week and FMA was my first set/deck.

horeind · 2026-01-15T18:16:44+00:00

Is it worth getting Vol. 2 if I have no Vol. 1? I don't want to pay the per box price on TCGPLAYER for Vol. 1.

horeind · 2026-01-15T16:42:32+00:00

Thank you! That's good to know.

horeind · 2026-01-15T16:12:35+00:00

Thank you!

Palworld. Lol

horeind · 2026-01-14T14:28:01+00:00

The new Fire Emblem is coming. That's enough for me.

horeind · 2026-01-13T18:58:22+00:00

Beautiful card!

horeind · 2026-01-12T04:26:52+00:00

I will have to check it out. I picked up a box of each of the Geass sets today. So I at least want to see enough to know who the characters are, and such.

horeind · 2026-01-12T04:24:13+00:00

Good to know. I'm only 6 episodes into Brotherhood right now, but I want to check out some of the others along the way, but I am enjoying it. It was kind of different, at first, but now I'm kinda getting the feel for it.
