日本のマーケット部分 The Giant Japanese Market Thread

And yet late last year a PSA 10 GS Espeon sold for $13.5k. Shows that the price of these can wildly vary based on the market and platform

The box I ordered from the Pokemon Centre is currently preparing for shipping (出荷準備中) but has been in that phase for a few days now.

Was this the reprint?

My seller cancelled my original purchase…

Yeah. Ordered it on December 3rd. It was available for about a day but it has been completely scrubbed from the site now.

Yeah the 13.5k was in September. Since that sale they have steadily been going up since 4 have sold since. Now reaching the 32k mark. That sale of the umbreon for $40k was crazy as well. But these cards have reacted a lot like everything else in market lately just without the dip.

These 2 cards are driving me nuts. Like, it’s absolutely cursed. When the Espeon was 10k, I didn’t have 10k to spend. Then I had 10k to spend and it was 20k. Now I have 20k to spend and it’s 30k. Christ, I’m already multiplying my expendable money at exponential rate and it’s still not enough. Like fighting against windmills :sob:

That has been my curse with the 99 tropical wind and it’s a great lesson in rarity & what popularity does for rare cards. :dizzy_face:

Yeah. Unfortunately I gave up for similar reason after buying the easier three. Just can’t justify the price.

This is the one bugcatherdave purchased from Adam known as teammagma on IG. Believe it or not but that was a record at the time as the last known sale before that was $6500 about a year prior. Card exploded right after the sale the same month with one hitting $17.5k and $20.5k and so on.

I don’t want to thumb-up your comment but I definitely feel you. The realist in me sees the chances of getting these cards dwindling, but the dreamer in me says “No problem, I’ll just become a millionaire, that will fix things”…

I think you were the one that grabbed the sealed flareon recently right? Did it get graded yet? That was a great buy

Thanks. I’ll probably be keeping it despite others being out of reach since the “price was right”. If I can get magically get Espeon for the same price I’ll go after Umbreon LOL.

Haha I haven’t found an Umbreon anywhere since radar picked that one up. Did your flareon get graded?

Sort of? PSA damaged it despite $500 walk through service and it’s currently being reviewed in their damage review process. Didn’t answer your question before because it’s been an exhausting & disappointing process would rather not discuss but don’t want to make up some weird lie here. Please don’t DM or ask further sorry.

Looks very suspicious. “no bidding allowed, only BIN at 2000$ through this email…”
But hey if it’s legit go ahead, 2000$ sounds good right :grin:
