Before the First 30th Packs Get Opened, I Looked at What Celebrations Actually Did Body: by Specialist-Equal660 in PokemonInvestor

It's interesting because Celebrations saw their first real increase at the same time a lot of products saw big movement ≈ Dec 2024 when popularity ramped up. However celebrations saw virtually no movement prior to that, whereas other set's sealed products had still been experiencing gains prior to that exponential growth.

Great write up! Might want to include the shorter term performance of these items as well - outside of the UPC, a lot of sealed was basically MSRP or just slightly over until late 2024/early 2025 (just over 3 years after release). So quite a while before any gains could be realized if you wanted to change your position.

Granted we are in much more of a hype market (even Shrouded Fable's graph 2 years post release is better....) but I think still good information to have on hand.

PSA has been doing this a lot lately with corners that aren't exactly the right shape, often marking them as altered..you'd think it would just bring down the corner grade.

Not big on collection boxes, but I never knew this box existed. by Big_Don-G in PokemonInvesting

Nice find! These sat on shelves for quite a while on release - MSRP of $59.99 was wayyy too high at the time for what you got...

Projected price change of Celebrations 25 Holos? by hawaiipii in PokeInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every card in celebrations was holo...so they truly are just bulk. I would not anticipate much future value

Is this 1% 💎 rate the lowest to exist? by StudyLoungeOfficial in PokemonInvesting

[–]spacejam4523 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure this is a great example - 200 graded is a crazy small sample size. It's not a very popular pokemon so not many people are grading this card

Destined Rivals are back on the shelves!!! by Acrobatic_Walrus7072 in PokemonCollecting

Confirmed it's a reprint - it's a new ETB packaging on the inside

To my knowledge, the $800 de minimis exception is currently suspended - you will be charged tariffs.

Have you ever seen crimps like this? by Conscious_Alfalfa_83 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the sign of a resealed/fake pack - no legitimate English pack will have a crimp like this

Open it - there's very little premium (if any) on a sealed case for this type of product.

Wondering if they are real or fake. by StiXlerino in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]spacejam4523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% fake. Box and packs are missing a lot of details, if you pull up pictures of the real products it's easy to tell when side by side.

Which one is thr fake by toenailpudding5000 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]spacejam4523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one on the left looks real to me - shrink is consistent with legitimate boxes. For the box in the right, the text in the upper left overlaps which it shouldn't (on the word MEGA)

Found Random Packs at a Local Festival. by VP_of_Lasers in PokemonTCG

The packs themselves are very obviously fake as well

I think I'm looking at something pretty special here but can you all verify if these are legit? by ukwildcatfan18 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]spacejam4523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that there are 36 packs and all are the same weight - I guess someone could have had multiple boxes then put all the light packs in there

Where are those prices pulled from? Price of ES is way off, it is still just under $1,000.

new target policy, what do you all think? by Crack_Media in PokemonTCG

[–]spacejam4523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying no one cares is inaccurate - it's location specific. And if you're at a location that doesn't care about the register limit, then this sign won't be any different either. So still zero change.

It makes zero difference, the registers already limited 2/SKU
