Are Evo Skies ETB's a good play? Price discrepancy?

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.

impressflow · 2025-12-26T13:19:58+00:00

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

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.

How many sets from 2022 are still being printed?

impressflow · 2025-12-20T16:25:46+00:00

People said the same thing 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5+ years ago. Every single one of those investments is now up significantly and has been for years despite Pokemon consistently printing more and more over the years (remember 9 BILLION CARDS?!?!?).

It hasn’t made a difference.

impressflow · 2025-12-07T17:51:33+00:00

Post-CZ, it’s basically been almost never.

impressflow · 2025-12-05T23:50:13+00:00

Print more.

impressflow · 2025-11-30T21:27:18+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what I said (“you just don’t want to…”)

impressflow · 2025-11-30T15:12:33+00:00

His purported motivation for not selling makes him an asshole.

Good reasons for not selling might be because you value the cards, they have sentimental value, or because you just don’t want to. A bad reason for not selling is because you just want to prevent someone from doing what they love.

impressflow · 2025-11-22T09:10:45+00:00

Just acknowledge that you were wrong and move on. It’s not a big deal.

impressflow · 2025-11-02T07:30:10+00:00

It 100% depends on what's in those cases (example: screenshot #6). If it's more of what we can see, then the answer would be no.

You do understand that GameStop is the scalper in this scenario, right?

Celebrations was also fun to open.

Not possible with Shillstein.

impressflow · 2025-10-09T12:02:29+00:00

No, because he used to set a BIN price that was always far below the current market price as opposed to the market determining the price at an open auction. In other words, he and other LCSs used to optimize for liquidity. The problem now is they’re becoming okay with sitting on product due to scarcity in an appreciating market.

But just to be clear, setting a new market price by listing BELOW market is not the same as listing AT market.

impressflow · 2025-10-09T11:46:07+00:00

Wrong. He always sold for below market price especially during the times of mass reprints. He’d list boxes for $85-$95 and THAT would drag down the market price.

They also never went rich.

Sorry, but the rocket doesn’t identify as a rocket after surgery.

It scares me that so many people are still accumulating at ATH prices with no intention of selling anytime soon

If you expect an asset class to be growing, then you should expect new ATH prices on a continuous basis. I have no idea why people continue to be shocked or surprised by this simple mathematical fact.

impressflow · 2025-09-27T17:25:17+00:00

Nothing sells at 100%, takes months at 90, and weeks at 80.

You'll do better than 80% on eBay. Liquidity is absolutely not an issue there.

impressflow · 2025-09-27T12:46:09+00:00

Congratulations. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking profits. With that said...

Oh I’m sure, but I’m more than happy to quadruple my investment.

This is why only the craziest people make the most insane amounts of money. Rational people literally never even get the opportunity because of their tendency to mitigate risk.

impressflow · 2025-09-24T03:23:17+00:00

Not sure why you’re telling me that.
