I do not believe build and battles have ever been reprinted but that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t ever be. I’d bet on them not being reprinted though personally.

There is a second print wave which is releasing 11/27 so I would say do not buy anything until December. This is more of an outlier since Pokémon couldn’t print enough to meet the 10/28 deadline. No clue on how big the 11/27 release is but you can already see people selling preorders for it on ebay and similar sites. I’m personally expecting the prices on all B&B kits and the promos to decline rapidly over the next few weeks.
Also based on my analysis of seeing people open the kits that the zard is seeded at way above 25% odds. Feels more like 50% odds to me!
I was going to stop with Pokémon cards but I really want some amazing rare they look cool

how would they decline rapidly?
B&B kits are always rumoured to pull more Secret Rares, Full Arts etc. etc. than just normal packs. So people like to buy and open them before release so they can make a quick buck selling the chase cards. Once the set is out in normal boosters, the B&B kits will no longer be desired because they the price on Full Arts and alike will drop to the usual 2-5$

Did cosmic eclipse have 2 secret rare per box ?
Hype declines and people were expecting that the B&B were cut heavily…thus would be rare but pokemon company simply split the production into two shipments basically. I’d say wait until December 15th at least to see a more realistic price for it. It was going for $150 about a week ago and now it is at $100. It will decline further once the next shipment is released.
Hopefully the restock/reprint in December helps meet the current demand, or are print quantities (for the second wave) already determined by this point?
I think youre only seeing the posts which brag about zard. I know people who have gotten 0 in a case
Never rely on posts online to get an idea of pulls. Most people don’t bother posting average or close to average pulls. I open a ebt and pul 2 normal V’s, dont want to post. I pull a charizard, I want to post.

I did every single set at pre-release since launch of Sun and Moon. I always pulled a Full Art or GX from every Build and Battle Kit I got. Even the “extra” one I bought after the event I pulled at least one. I’ve seen one guy pulling a full play set of Persian GX’ out of 2 kits. The pulls are higher, but with % you have to pull the gold one dunno, but I’ve seen even gold full arts being pulled every other event.
As always, too small of a sample size.

I’m so happy to see these amazing rares in English! They look so nice.
The amazing rares are nice but I just want the ampharos cards for my collections. So excited for another full art one, wish they did a rainbow as well though.
That is also a possibility probably.
Can I summon Shenron now?

The Raikou really takes a hit with the yellow border, imo Jirachi and Raikou are the most beautiful.

Hey all!
I bought a sealed Charizard pre release for my collection. My question is, do you guys break the seal and sleeve/topload the Charizard? Or do you keep it sealed with the other cards? Will it lose value if i break it out and sleeve it? I really want to take it out but i dont want to lose value already on it.
You can grade sealed promos, but I’m pretty sure they just grade the condition of the packaging and not the card. Usually the sealed packaging holds value with age, but otherwise in the short term, if its PSA 10 quality its often worth cracking
