The Giant English Market Thread

Okay, but can you agree that the proportions are completely failed ? It’s the anorexic ttar long neck equivalent of short neck 151 charizard

“loses against” – the ttar is worth substantially more more than the Ampharos in every single grade and every single grading company except specifically PSA 10 in specifically late April 2026 lol.

So the broader market doesn’t agree with you.

And frankly, neither do I. I think dark ttar #19 is among the nicest reverse holos from the entire EX era, whereas that Ampharos is unremarkable.

I think this a longstanding market sentiment, too. When I was collecting my raw mint set in 2020/21, that ttar was by far the most expensive reverse holo (more than Dragonite even, at that point). That Ampharos was a $10 card at the time when ttar was >$100.

So I’m glad you prefer the Ampharos, but it’s not fair to say that’s the prevailing sentiment.

People in here smoking crack saying dark Tyranitar has weak art :smiling_face_with_tear:

Seriously. I always found TRR #19 to be one of the strongest arts from the set. Looks straight out of a graphic novel.

You would have to pay me to keep a SWSH era reverse holo in my collection

The stripy pattern is absolutely horrendous I agree. Some of the XY ones are nice, and I do actually like the current pattern-less ones

Yup, I think that swing back to SV modern at least has been happening for the past couple weeks.

A lot of IRs and SIRs both raw and graded have gone up 50-100%.

For example Gastly from Temporal is currently sitting at $600 in a 10 and $110 raw now :exploding_head:

My modern stuff is mostly starting to go down. Not by much, but down nonetheless.

If you are paying $$$'s+ for mid tier modern IR’s and reverses with pops in the XXXX’s… we are running out of pumps. I think I am pulling the rip cord shortly.

Wow, so that means you can have the Togepi + Togetic set for under $30k??? Crazy, steal.

If people don’t mind getting cancer, feel free to watch what I’m referring to :face_vomiting:

Kantoshark just reported a $4k sale of Team Up Gengar/Mimikyu GX. Previous 3 sales all $5k+ on ebay…hhhmmm.

On a side note and because I have sour grapes. Base set JP No Rarity Zard PSA 7’s went $7k $7k then $17k and $17k all within one month. I am indeed sour.

do ppl really pay 40k for reverse holo :thinking: there aint no way that was more than 200 bux in 2024 :rofl:

I do think if ppl are paying 5k for trendy modern garbo, these cards should have some value. they are great sumiyoshi arts. 20k+ is hilarious though, you can have an expedition grail or a reverse holo

maybe only 1/10th of an expedition grail if it happens to be mew :rofl:

Couple items that went unpaid. Interestingly, first 2 sellers got greedy over a couple hundred extra bucks, lul.
