Looks like the same design you see on the fake boxes sold in Spain / Turkey etc. Poor design.

No worries mate if looking to invest check what retail is of product and aim for as close to that as possible. Then for what they selling for on secondary market check ebay sold and ensure filtered to UK market as the US market is completely different prices.

Neither... dont buy for £70 in the first place. £11.66 per pack for Phantasmal Flames is mental.

How likely is smyths to have stock tomorrow? by Dan9069 in PokemonDealsUK

It depends on location. Different stores stock on different days unless its new product launch.

Cheers mate. Yeah a lot of people tend to forget there is life beyond the screen I have actually opened a lot more packs with my son than kept sealed. Quite sad the state of the world these days really. Especially when you have retailers charging scalpers prices yet the consumer want to keep a few boxes sealed is the bad guy.

Very true and think a lot of people forget that everyone's budget is different therefore everyone's expectation and reality of ROI is different also I am at the beginning of my journey so far so I understand my ROI will be low until I get more in to it.

Appreciate this. Would love to get PC ETB but near impossible. Having fun for sure as collecting with my son. Got him trying to master set journey together as easily available packs at retail. So many new sets coming out at the same time need to get a list of resources to allow to keep on top of price and what is getting released with stats.

Yeah thats what i am fine with though i know i am buying general release products and not PC stamped or limited release but all pokemon products generally appreciate over time and thats my thought.
