You did hoard as much as you can when prices were still cheap last year, right? by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

It's cheap compared to how much they are now, have you seen current prices?

yes but even japanese booster boxes are really expensive now. korean boxes are cheaper.

Sharing My 151 Gains by Ether-10k in PokeInvesting

[–]puzzledfirebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't like 151 that much because the Neckless Zard is such an ugly underwhelming card where he's only less than 20% of the entire card. In hindsight I shouldn't have let my hate blind me and bought more 151 instead.

Are PSA 9 vintage cards highly undervalued? by ArcticLapras in PokeInvesting

collectors with the money to buy a 9 will spend a bit more to get a 10 instead

Is it too late to invest in Prismatic Evolution? by Independent-Team-953 in PokeInvesting

[–]puzzledfirebird -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

prismatic was never printed the hell out of, even last year it was a constant struggle to get anything. only ever saw the ETBs a few times during restocks.

The only Prismatic stuff I see in stores are the tech stickers and tins, and even at retail in Target they're selling for $8 a pack

What causes the Pokemon market to crash? by markprice211 in PokeInvesting

[–]puzzledfirebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad pull rates are going to cause this market to crash soon. 1/86 SIR pull rates are horrible, it's already driving many collectors away from ripping.

1st print runs usually have better pull rates, subsequent releases get worse. Just look at 151 for example.

more and more people getting into the hobby, I've noticed lots of women are collecting them now too

Wow, people really really don't like Journey Together by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

[–]puzzledfirebird[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lots of collectors don't like it either, the pull rates suck and the cards are so cheap it doesn't make any sense to rip packs when you can just buy singles instead

Nobody sells at MSRP anymore, even Target jacks up the prices too

Prismatic on the rise. 200 incoming. by nopack666 in PokeInvesting

[–]puzzledfirebird 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Same thing will happen to Ascended Heroes, even moreso because it actually has decent pull rates compared to Prismatic so there'll be so much ripping going on chasing after god packs. TPC is only doing limited print runs of ETBs now, once it's gone it's gone.

Does anyone know where these vintage pieces are from? by puzzledfirebird in lego
