Continued to go up? Prices dropped massively after the 1st Logan hype, psa 9 zards sold as high as $6k and now they have settled around $2-2.5k

You are right. I misread your original post that’s my fault. Was talking about market in general.

Curious. Does anyone here live in Southern California? Does anyone know a place where I could sell PSA cards for cash in-person? I don’t mind selling below market price. I just don’t want to deal selling on ebay anymore.
Thank you!

If I could respond simply with a toilet flush sound, followed by a cartoon bomb whistle explosion sound… I would.
^In regards to prices on base unlimited. Please don’t ban me mods.
I would absolutely wait, and buy the big a$$ dip that follows.

So, this is interesting.
According to terrapeak research on ebay, for CHP since release we’ve seen
67,000 units sold
$6m in total sold
The release date of CHP was September 25th, or almost exactly 6 months ago
Now compare that to Shining Fates, which was released around 1 month ago
44,000 units sold
$4.6m in sales
That is shocking to me. What are your theories on what the reasoning could be for this? So many LCGs and retailers got their orders cut short on Shining Fates, yet there seems to be AS MUCH market movement in 30 days as it took CHP 4 or 5 months to achieve. We were told Pokemon was having trouble printing to meet demand, but it seems as though they potentially have printed nearly as much SF as they have CHP in 1 month*
* I understand the ebay market isn’t a perfect indicator, but you can at least treat it as somewhat of a proxy for overall market trends

I live in a decent sized city, Wichita, and there has been a LOT of Shining Fates available at all retailers since it’s release.

yup. and as a retailer, I got 2 ETB when I normally would get 10-30 cases.
I think TCPi gave a directive to sell almost exclusively to brick and mortar big box stores over LGS, internet retailers

Shining fates is more available in my experience as well. Especially considering this is the first “wave” of product.

Interesting comparison, Shiny Star V which has been out since late November (so around 4 months) has significantly more volume than CHP, SF as well as sales. Of course, it’s been thru 4 print runs now - and there are other ways to buy both CHP and SF beyond ETBs. but it shows the Japanese market is going just as strong, in arguably a secondary market to Japan (aka not inclusive of the primary market by which it is resold)

Perhaps this comparison could be improved. In your first two, you included “elite trainer box” in the search parameters, but here you don’t include “booster box” or something that limits it to sealed product. So we’re comparing the sales of ETBs for the main sets to ALL Shiny Star V sales (box, singles, packs, graded cards, assorted product). I’d be interested to see how Shiny Star V boxes compare, and how all sales measure up as well.

yup, good point. Volume cuts nearly in half but still high sales numbers. However to your point yet again, this is still relatively apples to oranges - SSV comes in 2 form factors - packs and booster boxes. Shining Fates comes in many, many forms so measuring markets between the two doesn’t really work. I did try to include all Shining Fates ETBs, Pins, Tins, etc. but came up a little short due to ebay’s lackluster support for boolean searching in this research tool.
