What do you all think of the high priced Dragon Ball Cards?

Not Goku, Vegito. Signed by both voice actors.

Do we know if they have the pull rate of a normal special rare?

Were the TB1 signatures the same as the other special rares in the set?

Oh sweet love the signed cards, Ryan please dont buy out all of just cards stock i want some haha :blush:

  1. The set releases is August. Bandai doesn’t publish pull rate data. It’s always been up to the people that open the product.

  2. In ToP, there were only 4 SPR, being the signature cards.

1 month later lets see what has happened to Awakened Power Son Goku.

June 4 we were at 141 PSA 10 copies, as of July 4 we’re at 163. 22 PSA 10 copies have entered the population this month.

I have been watching the Ebay auctions. I haven’t seen a bid above $650 for a PSA 10 the last few weeks (this wasn’t the sale price as the bid didn’t meet the reserve). They were going for $1000+ in April. I think the prices will continue to decrease.

I like the artwork on the card

The price run up was too strong since 12 months ago. $400-$1400 in 6 months. That kind of increase was unsustainable with the total amount of available copies for sale when the card broke $1200.

It was the same as the PSA 9 Shadowless Charizard in 2017. The run up was from $500-$3000 in 6 months and after a $2500 sale, more than 10 copies became available as opposed to the 0-1 before that.

I can see it floating around the $500-$800 range once it’s stabilized.

Yet cards like the HR Charizard continue to increase in population and value.

We can’t say it’s got anywhere near the level of art that any DBS Card has, yet up she goes. It’s fascinating!

At some point, grading of the SCR Goku will taper off and then the supply vs demand will truly reflect the value. I’m glad I’m not actually invested in it, not from a monetary perspective but rather the speculation is just weird to me. The value on all of these cards heavily relies on Bandai continuing support for the game and they keep making very interesting decisions lately =\

I agree that the increase in the supply of PSA 10s and availability will go down one day. When will that be is anyone’s guess.

The HR zard example you supplied didn’t have such a strong run up though. $400 right out the gate to $700-$800 today. 100% increase in price in 6 months is not uncommon in Pokémon, but it is rare in DBS. Only the TOP box, SPRs and the SCR in the TOP set experienced that, and those are the items that retraced.

You are saying it’s rare in DBS, but grading in DBS has only been a thing for 18-20 months tops.

I was among the first people to start grading them, so historically, they don’t really have anything behind them that could show any reliable trend.

ToP is an interesting set. It had one wave of printing which Bandai communicated right off the bat. The expensive cards in that set are highly playable or collectable, then there is a massive drop off in terms of card value.

Pokemon, in English, has no real comparison set.

@ozenigma I agree with everything you say. I don’t know how prices were after Pokémon/MTG/YGO got into grading but for DBS, a lot of Pokémon guys are into it and are buying/grading/selling the more expensive cards. A lot of collectors who spend a significant amount of money in DBS like yourself came from other trading card game hobbies.

Relative to the other TCG hobbies, DBS cards are cheap, even at the highest end. It hit its peak during last year Aug-Dec like Pokémon hit its peak in ‘99 and YGO in ‘04 I think. What follows next on the survivability of the card game is entirely based on Bandai’s decision however with Bandai deciding to released Naruto and Godzilla cards, they are spreading out resources when they could be doing a much better job with DBS players especially for regionals
