Iām guessing itās ebucks or a coupon or he has some kind of special connection.
@pokeaddict84 Thereās 1 recent sale of $120 but most recent sales show cards selling for $60-70. Not surprised about reputable stores selling out and overpricing the card, they usually get premiums for cards like these. Iām pretty sure anyone here could get it for $60-70 or even cheaper pretty easily
Tbh, I expect it to either stay where it is or decrease over time. Itās just so lame, all they did was take an already existing card and make it gold while increasing the rarity, how contrived is that? These gold cards donāt have a fraction of the creativity and appeal that other secret rares have had, such as gold stars, crystals and shinings. I have a feeling that these cards will be forgotten in due time.
I donāt think anyone should be buying a card like this for $60+ there are better investments in old school singles.
If youāve gotten lucky and opened one on your own thatās awesome youāre pretty fortunate!
But as someone said earlier the gold zekrom, reshiram, and silver dialga havenāt really increased in price since they were released. So youāre investing in a Pokemon card that only sees increase because of its playability in standard format. If you do buy one, be prepared to see the price drop once itās rotated out.
Youāre probably right, but I think itās a very small risk for people to take a gamble on. It can really go either way, but I honestly donāt see them drop much lower if they do drop. At sub $50 Iād personally buy them all.
Thereās a small chance they increase a lot and a big chance they just hold their value like the other gold/silver cards.
yeah, I think youāre mostly right. However, this set is apparently annoying to grade, as the centering and out of pack conditions are pretty terrible. Most ultra rares are still pop 0 or 1, still. I guarantee thatās gonna change later, especially if they start printing again, but who knows if grading premiums will affect prices in the future.
Another thing to note is 2013 isnāt like 2017-2018 where Pokemon is at a peakā¦
Iām still kicking myself for not buying HR Rainbow Zards at lower prices a few months back. I was trusting some of the guys here telling me to wait for the price drops, but I just donāt see it anymore. There was even someone expecting the PSA 10s to drop as low as $150⦠lol You can barely get a raw copy at that price.
I know Charizard is a different beast, but Iām just saying people paying $60-80 for the gold cards wonāt expect any less if they ever sell them. So unless thereās 0 demand, it would be silly to expect a price drop. Thatās not even taking into consideration the premium for graded copies.
same here for my Solgaleo haha. Itās pretty hard to find one thatās actually well-centered and clean on the back. Nearly everyone I see of these cards are cut bad and too far to the left/upwards. Iām almost hoping they just stop printing the boxes so we might have a somewhat collectible set in recent time (besides maybe Evo and Shining Legends). Any word on that? Youd think now that Forbidden is coming soon, thered be a change lol
I have both solgaleo gold and lunala gold. There both centered perfect on the back and in mint condition. The front of the cards are off centered towards the left of the card. I wonder how psa would grade this seeing as the backs are perfectly centered.
thats what im saying. Usually the front is completely to the left and up. Sometimes itās also the back. Very rarely is it good on both sides, and itās clean on the back. With cards that have the extra borders, like the GXs, they actually tend to focus on the back more, since itās easier to see any discrepancy in centering on a larger scale. But with how obvious it can be off on the front, theyāll usually knock off for it, sadly.
