On the Master Ball from the Quickstarter…

People don’t need to list cards for exactly what the last sale price is. If the only people that own them and would consider selling them all have them listed for $500 or more despite sold being $300, that’s their choice. If someone else comes in and undercuts sufficiently to the point you feel comfortable paying, good for you. If you can make an offer that one of these users will accept, good for you. Otherwise this is a natural thing that happens when the sealed item gets more expensive and it’s less and less worth it to sell the card quickly for its liquid price. This is something you see more commonly with Japanese cards. The listings at these new high prices may sit for a while until people get impatient and realize that these cards are not getting any easier to find in gem mint condition and the new price will be realized… or maybe they won’t. So long as the people that own a card don’t need to desperately liquidate, they can hold their prices wherever they want and wait for someone to pay them what they want. Again, I don’t personally notice this as obviously with many English cards. It’s mostly Japanese promos from my experience. But look at Mysterious Pearl. There were a few months there where the last public sale was around $1500 and all the copies on eBay were $8000+. The sellers were choosing to be firm on their prices. A copy recently auctioned, revealing a price of $7500. Imagine how stupid a seller must have felt if they privately just accepted an offer equal to the last sold somewhere in that several-month period. It’s a different mindset that I’m not going to pretend to fully understand (and I’m not saying it 100% accurately applies to the Quickstarter situation) but I think it’s worth thinking about.

I wish I could highlight this post. This needed to be said and I think a lot of people forget we’re dealing with collectibles, which do not have to follow market trends. Value =/= Price

Just a heads up for anyone looking to collect the Pal City stadium cards — a NM/LP set just sold a few days ago (listed individually) for around 95k yen on Y!J.

Don’t know whether anyone else is actively looking for this set, but those prices surprised me! It’s such a fantastic set, and I think it’s undervalued, but I didn’t expected it to go so high.

I just skim through the last few pages. So I’m not sure if this has already been mentioned, but wow a BGS 10 Munch Pikachu recently ended at 4k. I watched every single munch auction and they all have been performing pretty well and active.

I understand BGS 10 normally carry a slight more premium than PSA 10. But this is awesome, the munch Pikachu has been selling pretty damn consistent at 1.8 - 2k lately. There is a PWCC & Probstein auction for one right now. I have a feeling those 2 will crack the 2.1 mark this time around.

I have a bunch of the munch pikachus and even 2000 usd seems a little expensive in my opinion. It’s currently at the same price in psa 10 as the Mario pikachu.

Just a year ago, the munch pikachu was 50 usd raw and Mario pikachu was 150-200 usd raw. The growth is definitely not proportional and I think the price might just stay where it is.

Thing is, those pikachu prices are just for a Pika. I doubt most people knows Mimikyu is the hardest to get by, and that pikachu is “common”. Of course pikachu is the most popular one so it compensates the rarity by sheer popularity.

Does anyone know where you can buy Japanese ‘vintage’ 2010-2015 boosterboxes? I can’t really find many on yahoo or mercari

@icollectr

Don’t expect a quote reply to this, but if someone with a private hookup feels like sharing their person’s info, I’m looking for a new Japanese supplier and would greatly appreciate some help. The guy who I have used on IG has become less and less reliable. Not looking to buy anything right this second, but drop $500-$1000 on sealed Japanese product every couple months.

I’m trying to contact every japanese store I can find on tournament maps haven’t had any answers out of 7 ish stores yet. But if you find one can you please @ me or dm me on ig? My instagram is @poketies. Thanks.

[smpratte]

There isn’t a secret oasis of product. If you can’t find items in the second hand market they simply aren’t available.

This might not be exactly what you’re looking for but this seller has a handful of sealed product that may be of interest

Lol sorry I think I just max bid like 32k yen for 3 of those individually and didnt care how high the price went below that. Just wanted to finish the set and was missing the Snowver and Jirachi ones.

Any tried one of these pot luck booster pack auctions?

Risk always seemed to high for me. I have this deep fear that there are loads of energies on the bottom of half the box in these lots.

No need to apologise! Congrats on the pickup, your bid made me BIN a listing that had the full set so… I’m just glad the cards are getting a little more attention

Fairplay buddy. Great card, I’ll scoop it one day! While that was my main target, I was able to get a decent consolation prize

What’d you get instead? Did you outbid me on the 2005?

Marnie FA from Shiny V is now more expensive than Charizard VMAX from the same set.

Discuss.

No it’s not, it’s more expensive than the v though
