I will probably end up getting 1 of each product that has a promo card I need, keep 1 of each pack artwork sealed, and open the rest of the packs for fun for the first time in a long time
Smart idea. The only one Iām worried about is the Pokemon Center ETB. It always just seems like they sell out the initial batch immediately and then that specific edition of the ETB never restocks.
Yeah this sounds super weird as Iām generally very anti pack gambling but ripping a pack sounds idkā¦fun

Can pre order the ETB now on PokƩmon Center. If I had to guess, the 2 promo cards you get will make up most of the value. So you get 11 packs and some deck sleeves.
I would bet the non stamped promo is $1-2 on tcgplayer a month after release. The stamp idk maybe $20-30. Thatās what happened with ogerpon at least
I donāt even know who that PokĆ©mon is, haha. Eevee is a different animal
I can see the PC stamp Eevee going for $30+, seems itāll be a high demand promo. Pikachu, Charmander, and Snolax promos are $50+ now.
ok so PC ETB it is
Yeah. I generally donāt go opening packs unless itās with some friends where we rip for fun, or itās an Eevee set. Got lucky pulling some alt arts in Eevee Heroes, so it was definitely worth the price.
The only reason Iām considering it is the combination of 1) an eevee set and 2) a bunch of other collectors with complementary collections also looking at pulling.
besides, to the point above, i want the stamp promo, and thatās likely to be half the price of the box
Easy decision there since you would buy both promos anyways. The packs are under $2 each then
boy math
well at least I got the PC ETB pre-ordered. Now I need to see about maybe a BB from Japan before going through the hell thatās going to be sourcing singles.
Japan being a high class pack means extra availability and decent pull rates. And with tcgplayer doing Japanese now, I am less concerned about this set vs Eevee Heroes
Thatās true. Availability and TCGPlayer should make singles easy to get. But I havenāt ripped any packs since Eevee Heroes I think. So I kind of want to.
Itās the same relaxed home pet vibe as AR Litten which Makura Tami also did. Food and slice-of-life themes are rather pleasant this year, though I admit with this being Eeveeās 4th special art (+ sowsowās) I am a little desensitised to Eevee in general
ā¦ETB preorder acquired
Well. I just realized I need to update my spreadsheet to add all these cards. Fun
