Is that so? Was watching it during my commute and missed it was canceled. Still cool to see!

[rtas]

Not the first time! I thought it was kind of funny when it popped up

Anniversary make anniversary cards go

On a more serious note, I’m almost more surprised it took this long to get to this price point. As far as I’m concerned this card is a nearly perfect collectible.

[Slade]

If I said it once, I said it a thousands times: If you want to bet on one long-term characteristic of any collectible, bet on the Instant value recognition or in other terms instagram-ability of a collectable:

1. Mario Pikachu
2. Luigi Pikachu
3. Any Poncho Pikachu
4. 20th Anniversary Pikachu
5. Munch Set
6. Post Office Pikachu
7. Grey Felt Hat
8. Etc.

Instant Value Recognition: “If you can’t explain a card’s value in 15 seconds or less, it will always lag behind cards whose desirability outshine their price.”

Explain the reason why gem pack 2 cards are behind considering they have a short print window and are only eeveelutions?

[eeveeteam]

Gem Pack 2 cards are like little league compared to that list of cards (the big leagues)

[ddk]

1. Chinese cards and not everyone can read Japanese

2. Lots of cases of fake cards coming out of China, creating doubt for many buyers

3. Oversaturation from a ton of graded copies hitting the market in a short period of time

4. Modern in general expericing a dip from its earlier ATHs

5. At the end of the day, these cards are merely ARs and the foil doesn’t pop as much as the texture of the higher rarity SIR alt arts

6. People can tell Vertemes is invested in Gem Pack 2 boxes so they are intentionally tanking the market until he sells (only then they will pump)

[eeveeteam]

@ddk

Vertemes is invested in Gem Pack 2 boxes

Rumor has it Vert has 2, not just 1, 2 boxes of Gem Pack 2. Sweating bullets daily on market price

[banks]

Great Points!

@ddk

these cards are merely ARs

I would add that the pull rates are tantamount to SIRs

[Vertemes]

I’ve been sold them btw,I have no stock in gem 2.

• Chinese
• High Volatility
• New Market
• Speculative Market

These can perform well into the future, they just need time to mature and people to believe in them since some of them are unique artwork.

It is just yet to be seen if they are truly specialized Chinese exclusive artwork.

[hero]

To add to this list, at least in my opinion, the Chinese exclusive cards are a bit harder to search on eBay for. Between the cards all having the same card numbering on the PSA label…and CBB2C vs. CBB3 C-GEM (Gengar / Cubone set) especially in the days where consignments are titling things IMO its easier to miss.

ironically i dont think this is applicable to pokemans as other collecting categories. something like a yanma, blissey, ampharos, slowking etc will likely outsell all of these nowadays due to their absurd rarity that ppl outside of pokemans wouldnt have a clue about (bgs 10 slowking just sold for like 60k or something after the guy supposely paid 100 for it )

compared to something like sealed video games where the actual rare games (e.g. the ones with the highest cib pricechart value) would sell for basically nothing compared to a vintage sealed mario/zelda/poke

Posted and pinned on Pokémon’s IG: “Celebrate 30 years of Pokemon with a special video debuting during Super Bowl LX on February 8!”

I think the 1996 CoroCoro Comic Jigglypuff promo will climb in value because of this. What other Jigglypuff cards might too?

[Vertemes]

My mom is gonna experience her first bubble

[festa]

Hey guys, selling my efour username for $2,650. It’s part of history! FCFS!

[festa]

inb4 1996 corocoro reprint

[connorc]

I love that card, but idk how a promo for a commercial with Jigglypuff would necessarily translate to interest in the ‘96 Coro

[brendantheclayboy]

He’s just here to shill the cards

[connorc]

unfortunately that’s the reality for most people who joined the forum in the last year or so
