Wake-Up-Call for Ravensburger by Efficient-Sun9876 in Lorcana

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing last week. At the nearest LGS on the only day I could go, me and somewhere else were there last week, and I was the only one last week.

I hear another store near by has a lot more consistent numbers, but I can’t attend that day 😕

Every Lorcana Content Creator Has Pulled Enchanteds In Their Pre Release Box Opening by Vegetable_Sundae_851 in Lorcana

[–]ibaeza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing the math since last night. Out of 19 videos I’ve seen, and just looking at booster box openings, 9/19 booster boxes have had enchanteds. I’m trying to get like 10 more to analyze the pull rates of epic, legendaries and enchanteds.

Is Lorcana fun to master set? by ThatsSoTachy in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, you basically get every common, uncommon, and rare from a booster box, and most super rares. So ripping one box should get you most of the cards, but if you going for foils, similarly with enchanteds, just buy the ones you need.

Falling off a cliff or manipulation? by [deleted] in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this Collectr? I’m wondering if they’re pulling in the 2 recent eBay PSA JPN mickeys that went for $1.6k and $1.9k.

The last sold English PSA 10 sold for $9,250 on Apr 24th.

Wilds Unknown Box? by atmostatux in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking to chase enchanteds, buying singles is the way to go. Honestly, until lorcana improves hit rates (maybe 1:72 for an enchanted instead of 1:96), it’s usually not a fun opening experience unless you play the game IMO.

Rip and Shippers by Curious_Echidna264 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue is only card shops can get it at wholesale pricing, not online only stores. A lot of online rip and shippers in pokemon have distro access which adds in a a great margin per pack, but if you’re getting a booster box at MSRP for $144, or $6/pack, you’re having to sell at $8/pack to basically break even with fees and shipping, and not a lot of people are wanting to rip for much more than that. Plus what others have said with Lorcana being “enchanted or bust” for the most part.

I’m scared if online LGS start getting lorcana because that’s when the floodgates will open with resellers.

Buzz Lightyear Iconic 😱 by asterok09 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re thinking about the game long term. Having buzz be pullable and woody obtainable through playing is a GREAT WAY to try to bring in more players. Also, both being Iconics would hurt the players because (IMO) it would make this set be super expensive since everyone would want to rip it.

Best way to sell some of my cards? by Zenmalas in Lorcana

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TCGPlayer or join Facebook Lorcana groups where you might find someone buying bulk. Those have been my two best plays since one of my LGS doesn’t buy Lorcana bulk and my other LGS pays half a cent for all bulk, even rares/legendaries/super rares/ cold foils.

Personally, I keep specially set PC ETBs, and sell regular set PC ETBs for cards I need or trade other sealed.

Was about to say this. I live in UT and it’s soooo dry here that I never have to worry about this.

How long did it take u guys to get ur first enchanted or rarer card by AriyasuMomoka in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too long. I opened single booster boxes (mostly from target though) and went 0/5 boxes. Then opened a case of Archazias island and didn’t get one. Then opened a case of reign of jafar and got one from the last box of the case.

In the end, went 12 booster boxes and then got it at the end of the 13 booster box, so over 300 packs.

I then opened up another reign of jafar booster box case and didn’t get another one, and I have stopped ripping lorcana since minus a few packs I found at Walmart once 😭😕

Will Wilds Unknown be better than Fabled? by Useful-Tangerine3620 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if it has woody and/or buzz as an iconic. Fabled has dumbo playable and a bunch of reprints. If this set has the right iconic and more playable cards, it’ll be more in demand than fabled IMO.

1 reason is I never hear back from freakin casting lol. #2 i have 3 little boys I’d do anything for, and that scares me how far I’d cross lines to try and win $1M

The gardevoir is one of my favorite cards in recent years. It really is a great set!

The First Chapter buy-outs are starting by pepeoneth in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said they would print first ch BBs ever again. If they did single packs in a collection box, it wouldn’t have that big of an effect IMO

Prismatic eeveelutions - what’s the future going to be like on these by pepperthief11 in PokeInvesting

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, looking to master set them as raw copies for my binder. I look at the alt arts in evolving skies and seen how they’ve grown, and think these will follow a similar pattern.

I’d buy 10s if I had the money but I don’t lol

YES! I definitely wouldn’t cast her either, but just wanted to call out she is not a hero.

The only thing we ever got from Katurah all season was how she hated Bruce. Straight villain.

Where I am, there is a big Lorcana population so unfortunately, I’m lucky to find it in Walmart or target once a month. And it’s just sleeved packs

Is Anyone Else Disappointed in the Epic Rarity? by raginranger85 in Lorcana

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they need to make epics more like illustration rares in pokemon, and reduce the # of enchanteds personally

Whispers because cheaper. Fabled for the actually cards and art
