The year is 20XX. Everyone invests in modern JP waifu cards at TAS levels of perfection.

I can’t even tell what is going on with the art in that card either. Looks likes she’s crouching and her head is absolutely enormous?

Ironically, the misty & lorelei full art from the tag team era is still under 100 bucks… Proof these current prices are ridiculous for the new chase cards.

If Dendra can go for that much then Miriam SAR is still underrated and should be shooting up 50% within the next couple months and Iono will be 3x that price. Don’t see dendra price holding otherwise.

I never thought the day would come but I just got VSTAR Universe at retail on PCJ before it sold out:

Must have been available for 10 minutes. I also got those Eeveelution sleeves that they briefly restocked. A rare proxy W for me :slight_smile:

Exactly lol, even green’s exploration from tag team is around $200 ish.

048/SV-P Miraidon and 049/SV-P Koraidon winner promo sales on mercari are more than their set SAR counterparts

I think these are a lot rarer aren’t they?

Still I do feel like modern JP is in an unsustainable, speculative bubble at the moment. Not sure when it will burst though but something has to give eventually.

These remind me of the 2017 Champion’s League Solgaleo & Lunala winner promos which were also rare and almost as expensive. You also only get 1 of 2 in both cases

Whether this can sustain remains to be seen. Things have been consistently chaotic since Magi’s buylists and China entered the market

What is PCJ and what are some good resources to try and get Japanese boxes at MSRP? I’m new around here and honestly not sure. Thanks for any advice and apologies if this has been asked before.

PCJ = Pokemon Center Japan.

As far as I am aware, PCJ usually announces the dates for set releases / lottery application announcements / reprints etc and provides a timing window open to purchase or apply for them at MSRP. You need to use middleman services like Blackship or Tenso to be able to do so, since PCJ only ships to local addresses. However, these middlemen also have their fees and a usually higher shipping costs attached, so nothing will be truly MSRP.

Other than that you can use secondary markets to try and get boxes but will have to pay the premium for the same.

Cheers!

This is the greatest listing for middle era cards that I have seen on Yahoo Japan.
