The colour for those booster packs looks really off to me. I am calling fakes.

Edit: They have cards from the set for sale as well, I guess not so fake.

I’d love to know how they got these.

Absolutely no doubt in my mind these packs are weighed.

That really shits me. People will think they have a chance, when really they’ll completely over pay for a bunch of commons and rares. Sad really.

Of course they are weighed, only an idiot WOULDN’T weigh them in his situation.  
I never have and never will condone the weighing of packs. But when you are in this guys situation you have obviously acquired these packs unethically so you are going to weigh them to maximize your profit. Since that’s the only reason you’d sell them this early.

Extremely rare, I am going to assume this is from the set that was found recently by someone here. Those PSA 10s will fetch a lovely little bundle of legal tender.

Just because the first buyer is crazy for the item doesn’t dictate a trend. Having said that, if I was that seller - I definitely wouldn’t have listed 5 at once. Basic supply and demand.

Yes I know but these are not listed for a 25% discount but $350 instead of $1000+.  
That’s a huge gap. So it’s interesting to see these didn’t sell with in a week.  
I am the only one who bought a Box at the moment.  
It just shows how difficult it is to value your collection (in terms of money). One day you think you own a box worth $1000, 2 months later it’s $350.

For my collection I only want to know the value of my collection because of my insurance. Otherwise I don’t really care because like most of you I collect Pokemon cards for fun/love/hobby/sentimental value and not for the money.
