Hottest trend
The QotD on whether Pokémon has become too expensive for casual collectors dominated the day, with @Dyl arguing the hobby remains accessible at all economic levels while @smpratte noted it’s never been harder to collect casually.
Highlighted content
- The Fossil Pokémon poll reached its finale, ending in a tie between Kabutops and Aerodactyl — with @Littu resolving it via stat comparison, controversially handing the win to Aerodactyl.
- @hansen79 sought opinions on a PSA 10 Rayquaza Call of Legends SL10 after receiving a $110,000 offer; the overwhelming forum consensus was, essentially, run.
- @charizardespana detailed how unpaid eBay listings permanently inflate comps on PSA, Pricecharting, and similar platforms — with coordinated shill bidding implicated.
- @rtas flagged a Snap Chansey that hit auction max, went unpaid, and was relisted and cancelled within a day in the Japanese Market thread; @Dyl followed up with a PSA 9 sale at $95,000 — up 50% year-over-year — now relisted at $250,000.
Collection updates
- @xliveandplay picked up a selection of SWSH V and Vstar cards, calling the era underappreciated amid current hype cycles.
- @thebetafish scored a mixed lot including duck-themed cards for $12 — a steal by any metric.
- @TRUTHNUKE traded (no cash spent) for several Pokepark promos at a card show, advancing both the Blue and Forest Pokepark sets.
- @Vertemes shared low-pop slabs in the Gold Star Rayquaza quest thread, with @wisewailmer providing the most economically concise explanation for the hustle.
This has been the Efour Digest — my head hurts, but probably less than yours after reading those comp prices. Psyduck out.
