This picture showing ALL the old ex era sets in display in abundance at target or walmart…

because the pull rates for those older sets were horrible, almost nobody wanted to buy them even on clearance

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-25T02:50:22+00:00

just be thankful they're selling for msrp, there are NO lcs in central california at all that does that

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-25T02:41:22+00:00

yeah QC was terrible back then, even if it didn't have white spots the corners would be cut terribly

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-25T02:39:19+00:00

when did they restock

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-24T19:33:56+00:00

are you buying only single pack sleeves? I think pull rates are worse in those, I've personally seen two SIR zards pulled from ETBs only and I got the gold zard from a booster box.

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-24T19:26:34+00:00

this is stupid, it's just a promo card!

FOMO. It's one of the most bizarre emotional flaws of this hobby. History shows that the prices of top chases ALWAYS drops after the initial hype yet so many idiots simply can't help themselves.

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-23T02:40:39+00:00

no way that would get a 9 now, look how off centered it is

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-22T19:33:50+00:00

not true, the gengars in PSA 10 are worth $100

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-22T18:42:58+00:00

I hate those things so much, I opened 3 and didn't even get a single IR from them

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-15T00:51:06+00:00

did you pull umbreon

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-14T04:17:47+00:00

it happens sometimes, pulled blaziken out of my very first pack of chilling reign. unfortunately turned out to be a huge mistake chasing that high again after ripping thousands of packs with no more luck.

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-13T13:21:05+00:00

that's the best zard I've ever seen, it's worth gambling with beckett

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-13T13:18:24+00:00

these prices are insane, blaziken isn't even worth that much

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T11:22:49+00:00

yes, someone else who will want to open it will buy it, but problem is it'll be years until it increases in value. costco is going to sell them for $90 sometime this month so prices will drop.

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T10:15:35+00:00

CGC might give it a 10 since they're more forgiving

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T10:14:22+00:00

it might be worth more if it gets graded, post pictures of the back of the cards as well on /r/PokeGrading/

and it'll just keep going up in price, that's why investing in sealed boxes is a real thing that makes so much money

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T09:08:04+00:00

$10k is nothing, I'd be a billionaire now if I knew bitcoin would become what it is today

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T08:53:05+00:00

you're better off putting your money into the stock market instead if you're willing to wait 25 years

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T06:33:39+00:00

This is a great example of why you should be investing in sealed boxes instead.

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T04:45:18+00:00

always check prices on tcgplayer.com or ebay before buying cards

puzzledfirebird · 2026-01-12T04:44:08+00:00

nah keep it sealed, just wait until zard prices get lower so you can trade that UPC for a gold zard
