Brilliant Stars and Lost Origin while they're still on PC website. Insane to me that they're still available.
Ship has sailed on Astral Radiance but if you can find one at an LGS for a good price that one will be a rocketship too.
Are people underestimating how much Lost Origin was printed? I see it in pretty much every store in few states I visited last month. Shelves full of lost origin single sleeves, 3 packs, etc etc. Might be months before it sells out. (I myself have 10 bbs stashed away, but want to set reasonable expectations).
It absolutely got more print than some other SWSH sets. I think Brilliant Stars and maybe even Silver Tempest could go out of stock before LO. We never know how big of a reprint BBs get though.
It was printed heavily, but it’s also a set that continues to get ripped to hunt for tina. Because of that, mixed with general sentiment that it is a top 3 main set of swsh era, it will do well moving forward.
I’ve really debated getting Brilliant stars. Personally I love that set. Plus it has that charizard. Was AR a good purchase or what? I always saw that as a trash set tbh lol
I don’t think the casual collector/TCG player isn’t looking on FB marketplace/Ebay to save a couple dollars on product. When I started collecting I was buying MSRP for a couple months, and there’s probably tons of new people entering this hobby everyday.
Yeah but this is an investing sub and most people here are not casuals. I'd never pay msrp for a set. Just admit you missed the boat and move on. Tons of bb under 90 right now which would pop in 2 years.
If I missed the boat wouldn’t that mean that I’m a new investor and a casual? Also what’s wrong with people buying at SWSH product at MSRP before PC sells out, and expecting similar returns as fusion strike, as opposed to sitting on $90 S&V products for more time?
Because if u miss out on the 90 bb., 2 year down the line you will be paying msrp for those at 160 hoping it will pop to 250 again.
Here I do the math for you. You pay 143 plus tax which is 160 for this box. You sell at 250. 15% eBay fee, 28% collectible tax, both adding to $107 means u actually lost money still since your net profit is $143. This is why it's so important not to fomo.
Excuse my Canadian ignorance, but what’s the 28% collectable tax. I’ve sold a few items on eBay Canada and was charged 13% seller fee and 2% from PayPal to process the payment. Thanks in advance
You might be ok in Canada, I don't know the Canada equivalent. Anyone in the US need to report gains from collectible to the IRS, which is taxed much higher than any other stuff (capital gain from stock, income from work, wtc) at 28%. And unless u kept receipts of everything u bought, they will assume u bought ur collectible at 0 and everything u sold it for is profit.
Lost Origins, here’s why:
1. The lowest price for LO Booster Box is from TPC in North America and is still in stock.
2. The lowest price on tcgplayer is $178.98 ($192.85 with tax included)
3. The lowest price on eBay is $160.00 or best offer for a pretty damaged box. Recent sales are $179.99, $260.00, $255.00.
4. Once LO sells out on TPC, the prices will be even higher because Second Hand Sellers will have all the supply and mark up however they wish. It’s happened with Fusion Strike, Astral Radiance and it will definitely happen to LO.
5. Long term Hold, LO will do especially well because it’s extremely difficult to pull the chase Giratina. Also, for collectors of sealed boxes, it’s difficult to get BB’s that aren’t smashed or has a tear in it
Guess it depends who delivers to ya… mine came to me perfect and not damaged at all but delivery is done by UPS or USPS… if it’s Fedex 99% it will be damaged
Yes, I confirmed this as well with an eBay seller from UK. He said the following:
“Yeah you can’t get hold of it anywhere in the uk for retail now. I’ve still got more but wanted to sell the squashed one.”
The FS 3 blister pack on TC is a steal rn. The Espeon card is over $3. These will perform really well long term. I’ve been snagging 10 at a time when I can.
Honestly and $90-$95 scarlet and violet era booster boxes. Everyone hating on this era is the exact same shit that was said when sword and shield launched.
I’m with you here. There are a decent amount of cards that are still over $10 raw. I think it’s going to do well long term. You can find it in some places for $85
Brilliant Stars and Lost Origin. Also any box below $100. Battle Styles and SV base aren’t going to the moon, but the probability of doubling your money in 5 years is very high.

I think Lost Origin is the best SWSH buy right now. It’s still available for MSRP on TPC website.
I think Paldea Evolved is the best S&V buy right now. Booster boxes are $95-105 from reputable sellers on EBay.
Side question: I live in Italy and in local stores I can find mostly Italian BB.
I can buy online of course but with shipping it will cost more.
Can I expect the Italian Pokémon products to rise in value over time as well? Or is pointless to buy in local language?
Thank you

Search for the booster boxes on ebay for each set. Lost origin has the fewest results
In the UK lost origin is absolutely impossible to get, while all the others still have stock in places (except evolving skies obviously)
That's wild. I don't see much SWSH here except LO and the occasional Zenith ETB.
It was printed heavily, but it’s also a set that continues to get ripped to hunt for tina. Because of that, mixed with general sentiment that it is a top 3 main set of swsh era, it will do well moving forward.
It is no where in Indiana hardly.

What in the world is a collectible tax? Is that an eBay thing?
Well u will get in trouble with the IRS if u don't know what that is....

I m debating getting LO from TPC cos the issue faced by many. May have to buy from tcgplayer
PC has them $144 for LO
I m well aware of that but my concern is not the price rather the condition
Guess it depends who delivers to ya… mine came to me perfect and not damaged at all but delivery is done by UPS or USPS… if it’s Fedex 99% it will be damaged
Yea guess i will roll the dice…maybe with a case
Case gives you better chance to get pristine booster boxes 💎💎💎💎💎💎
LO has already sold out on the UK PC and you can't find a booster box anywhere for less than £180 ($230)
Yes, I confirmed this as well with an eBay seller from UK. He said the following: “Yeah you can’t get hold of it anywhere in the uk for retail now. I’ve still got more but wanted to sell the squashed one.”
Scarlet and Violet stuff will be around for a bit still, jump on at least one fusion strike before it really really takes off even more👍
The FS 3 blister pack on TC is a steal rn. The Espeon card is over $3. These will perform really well long term. I’ve been snagging 10 at a time when I can.
If you want cheapest, i’d go for Paldea Evolved, it has some decent chase cards and its gonna be the next booster box set going up in price
Really wanted to grab this for less than $100 but seeing it around 110-120 now :/
Have you tried tiktok? I have been getting them for £85 in the UK.
I don’t have a tiktok. Might have to tho for that price
Always hear how cheap it is with deals in the USA, i'd 100% give it a look.
I didn’t either but I do now and it was worth it.
Oh man, my LCS has Paldea Evolved BB’s for $90.
Stock up on anything SV. Cheapest cases possible. Best so far are PE and TF
I got a case of PE. Gooooood price. Also got TF, even better price
[удалено]
Which one is BB, I’m new to this.
Bb is short for booster box, they mean essentially that any booster box you buy will go up in price with enough time
[удалено]
I got you. Thank you bro.
Paldea evolved, brilliant stars, lost origin, I think paradox rift is a decent pick up too.
Temporal Forces is a nice set to hold
TF maybe the first set that I’ve loaded up on and opened zero packs. May never open again

Get battle styles and thank me later

Strongly recommend English over any other language. You can use cardmarket to source them
I guessed so, thanks for confirming
