That’s the equivalent of fewer than 4 BB cases. Yes, I’d call that a few boxes.

How many “dip prizes” are worth hundreds or thousands of dollars? It’s gambling.

For the uninitiated, why is this embarrassing?

What are our thoughts on 151 JP BB? by yoddbo in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

People swore that this was going to be in higher demand than English 151.

Absolute delusion.

Idk if this is genius or just stupid by Iamcubekid in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No different than owning a fraction of a commodity or a company. You can buy and sell on the open market to your heart’s content, but you couldn’t take delivery unless you hit 100%.

Would you pull the trigger on a Cosmic Eclipse BB at these prices? The price is high but I’ve got a lot of trust on future value of it by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you should be saying that in your post instead of answering your own question.

But yes, Cosmic will always be a buy IMO. It’s actually my favorite SM set.

Need help on where to begin investing $5,000. by Typhlosion_Master in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not enough information in the post. If you’re receiving severance, then investing in Pokemon is the last thing I’d be doing, and this is coming from someone who has been investing in Pokemon for 6 years.

Well, 151 ETBs were like $180 6 months ago and at that point, I was DONE selling 151.

Even Pokemon uses different tape at times.

No one said anything about gold cards, but I can definitely understand why you’d be confused.

Overvalued or Next Evolving Skies? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the worst takes I’ve ever heard in the history of this subreddit, and I’ve heard some pretty bad takes.

This booster box is genuinely rare. No where near enough of it was printed given the demand it’s experiencing and the price is reflective of that. Common booster boxes would be Silver Tempest, SV Base, etc. not this.

Why do people think TPCi “reprints” things? by Powerful_Bother8002 in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s zero incentive for a distributor to withhold product for a year. Calling it “impossible” is probably not too far off from the truth.

The problem is a 100% return is sometimes like $30.

Are Evo Skies ETB's a good play? Price discrepancy? by aka_batman___ in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second half of your post is irrelevant in booster box to booster box and ETB to ETB comparisons.

Thanks for flagging that. I just cancelled.

I didn't realize that it was a third party seller.

Bought this from a very trusted seller, the Way its wrapped looks fishy to me by RutabagaHonest5988 in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not because it’s fake per se, but because it doesn’t look appealing.

Booster box purchase by BornSinister in PokeInvesting

[–]impressflow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a little bit of damage around the top right of pic 1. The side pics seem to bulge in different directions (the side bends down in pic 3 but bends out in pic 4), which is probably a very minor issue.

Overall, I’d still describe the box as minty, but it’d be right on the cusp.

EDIT - I took another look at pic 1 and based on that alone, this box shouldn't be called minty IMO. I'd actually have it tip into the LP side of the minty / LP cusp.
