I’ve been casually picking up Gym Heroes PSA 10’s since they’ve been pretty cheap the past couple of weeks, and I’m pretty baffled by the sealed premium on the booster box. Especially given how hard the Moltres and Gengar are to grade in a 10.
As said, people who desperately want a box they can’t afford.
The last (?) Jungle 1st Edition sale was $7,900 (a new low), so we’re talking 25% or $1,600 difference. The spread was closer to 100% just 6 months ago, meaning ~$8,000. That was arguably more difficult to stomach and to justify.
The difference got to be covered in holo’s expected value alone. Quick calculation :
Those who settle for an unlimited Jungle box also get a consolation prize: a chance that it contains the “no symbol” holos. I could be wrong but I don’t think there’s a way to know one way or another just from looking at the outside of the box?
