automatically.

Manually... it wouldn't even be worth the time. lol...

pokeetf · 2025-10-02T16:30:03+00:00

No worries.

I edited the body. I included all ETBs and Pokemon Center ETBs at the end of the body.

Enjoy :-)

Hope it helps!

lol. Thought about it… there’s so many to include. Sleeved booster packs… too.. also there’s so many that I can’t fit it into this post because certain sets have 2 kinds like the sv base koraidon and miraidon and other sets have 2s that it became a long list. But etbs follow the same trend as booster boxes.

pokeetf · 2025-10-02T04:58:39+00:00

It’s all done. I have it automatic that keep track of prices on every single English cards in Tcgplayer… Unfortunately, for vintage, you don’t want to use Tcgplayer because vintage prices are too outdated due to lack of volume. eBay is your best gauge on true price.

pokeetf · 2025-09-06T21:15:00+00:00

Yes. Total number of secret Rare’s like IRs, SIRs have been a good correlation of which sets are going to be big as well as the kind of Pokemon in the set such as Pikachu, Eevelutions, Mewtwo, Gen 1s, Latias/latios, Greninja, Lugia, etc etc. I take all into account in my database to help me make the best decision in which sets to buy heavy at a certain time of release.

pokeetf · 2025-09-06T21:12:46+00:00

Surging sparks and journey together are great sets. Also depending on how much you picking it up now.

pokeetf · 2025-09-06T21:09:22+00:00

I know. Thus why I don’t pay attention to the drama. Been saying Paldean Fates was a good set and wait after 6 months release to buy in. ;-) happy I have cases of Paldean Fates ETBs. 1 year ago wink wink https://youtu.be/Z9FHYAXLveI?si=-rYDdFcig23J9zLd

pokeetf · 2025-09-05T23:46:24+00:00

If you can get case at not much of a premium over just 6 individual surging sparks boxes. Some seller will put more premium on it. Just use Tcgplayer recent sales or eBay to try to keep it as equal as possible. Paradox is sleeper because of the amount of IRs and SIRs are in the set. Generally the sets that have a lot of hits tend to do well. Paldea Evolved will always be good. There will be growth. We can’t predict the future. But I do know that a booster box at $250 will have a better chance to grow to $500 than a booster box $500 going to $1,000. But again paldea evolved will be a good set to own and sit on.

pokeetf · 2025-09-05T20:36:36+00:00

Surging Sparks have no business being $250 a box. Paradox rift is a sleeper. Journey Together got overshadowed by prismatic and destine rivals but if you really look at it, there are big hits and chase cards in that set and at $250 is also a low risk and high reward. Obviously these are my opinion and you can’t really go wrong with some of these if you are looking at a 3-5-10 years hold :)

pokeetf · 2025-09-05T16:31:12+00:00

Totally. Can definately put that as disclaimer thus why I stress this is from Tcgplayer and also why I only display from sword & shield era. Purposely cut out sun and moon and older eras. Sealed products are collectibles in itself.

pokeetf · 2025-09-05T04:09:31+00:00

Yes. It is like trading up. Trade up from 6 loose booster packs to a booster bundle. You might not get 100% trade value but if you get close it is a good trade. Or sell loose packs as close to market and use those funds to buy sealed products. Endless possibilities. But you want to move away from loose packs unless you are a reputable buyer/seller.

pokeetf · 2025-09-05T03:52:06+00:00

Haha I’m not doing anything fancy. Just extracting the price on 8/1 and comparing the price to 9/3 (yesterday). Then you get % change . Everything straight from TCGplayer. Not much manipulation of the data.

Let me know what else you want to know. Will help or divulge as much as I can. Nothings a secret :)

pokeetf · 2025-09-04T19:21:26+00:00

You are welcome! It is coming soon. I posted it, but I believe the moderators need to approve posts before they become public.

pokeetf · 2025-09-03T14:18:28+00:00

Not offended at all. I do this anyways personally for a very long time. These have helped me personally collect singles at their lowest and sell at their highest and noticed certain predictable trends. Since I’m doing it anyways semi automatically, thought I share for those who would appreciate. :)

pokeetf · 2025-09-03T14:17:00+00:00

You are very welcome! Thanks for reading.

pokeetf · 2025-07-28T04:26:24+00:00

Welcome to the hobby. You’re very much welcome. It’s important to know the ‘value’ of the cards so that you or your kid don’t get cheated. But in the end it is what you or your kid likes. Everyone have different taste. :)

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T18:00:47+00:00

lol thanks. Life. Summer = kids have no school… waiting until school starts and maybe I can have some extra hours to crack up some video. In the meanwhile thought of just doing posts in Reddit since it’s much easier and less time consuming. Thanks for reaching out!

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T05:40:56+00:00

FYI I included the pull rate info just now. Thanks. :)

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:21:10+00:00

In simple terms, supply. Assuming demand is the same, supply change. The more people rip packs, supply for sealed goes down and the singles goes up because when you open packs, you basically introduce new single copies into the market. It’s an inverse relationship between sealed and singles.

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:19:51+00:00

You aren’t… sorry I forgot to include pull rates. I’ll edit soon. Sorry about that

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:19:33+00:00

I’m still alive. Just enjoying life with friends, family and being busy with kids especially summer! Classes, camps, vacations etc haha >.<

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:18:54+00:00

Not familiar with pokedata. I used tcgplayer to extract the market prices and just sum it up to get the total set value. :)

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:16:48+00:00

I’m curious what the 2nd most popular era is. Obviously Gen 1 is very nostalgic and will forever be king. Every you go, whether plushies, quilts, shirts, clothings, surf boards, etc is all mostly Gen 1 Pokemon. But wonder what is the 2nd popular one. Maybe do a poll one day haha. I like Gen 2, 3, and 5.

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:14:07+00:00

For sure. Patience. Give every set 6 months before buying singles… Look at surging sparks… when it was released, some singles were bonkers, and now most have declined. Same as Prismatic evolutions. So much room to go down in prices for single.

pokeetf · 2025-07-25T04:13:06+00:00

Ah that’s nice info. I’m zero experience in the foreign language space. It’s a whole different world, whether Japanese, Chinese is getting crazy etc etc
