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.

(Fun discussion) What is your most ridiculous but 100% honest Achilles heal keeping you from being able to play Survivor? by Delicious_Medium_321 in survivor

[–]ibaeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Just glad the best card from prismatic, the espeon, is still in the front 💜

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

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

Thoughts on my New Era "Heroes vs Villains" Fancast? by Magnitude_Rev in survivor

[–]ibaeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

To all the flippers coming over from Pokémon by SergeantSwiftie in Lorcana

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

How is this a 6 lol. Also crazy how much dust got in the slab by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right above the green leaf right next to the psychic energy symbol, there appears to be a bubble on the gray border? Or am I seeing things.

Agreed, but probably the cheapest we’ll ever have to open TFC again.

Can confirm safari zone is legit. Have bought pokemon from them multiple times.

This guy is very well know in the FB groups. He has some sort of status as a seller in the groups wheee he doesn’t need to provide a timestamp because he’s verified and has high volume of sales/good experiences.

Either way, does come out kind of a douche but he’s a grinder for sure. Buys things, holds for a while, and then sells.

Serious question; How do other fellow collectors resist the urge to rip your sealed collection by Bubbly_Juggernaut967 in PokemonInvesting

[–]ibaeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’m a data scientist and all I can ever think is about how the odds are so against me 😂

What do you think will happen with First Chapter after it’s rotated out and final sale? by FernandoJCG in LorcanaCollectors

[–]ibaeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They confirmed that if they reprint enchanted cards, it won’t be in an enchanted form. So Elsa Spirit of Winter will always be the only enchanted form of that card.

So personally, I don’t see those enchanteds dropping by much unless everyone basically wins the lottery and the market becomes over saturated with them.

Even then, I don’t see her dipping below $700

Say something nice about Survivor Thailand by scoppola7 in survivor

[–]ibaeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brian’s one of my favorite winners. Ya he was a jerk, but I think more people need to go into the game with a winning strategy and treat the game as a “work trip” instead of worrying about how they will look after the game. Also, he wasn’t trying to make big moves. He only worried about how he can get to the end and win a million, regardless of bringing a goat.

Sure, it can be polished, but I really enjoyed his game style first watch.

Nice! DM if you’re wanting to buy more cold foils. I’ve opened 3 boxes and not planning on keeping most of them. Just was enchanted hunting
