WOTC Box Market Discussion Thread

This goes back to mid summer tho when everything was on the rise. Gym and neo went thru the roof at the time as well. Some big YT names have opened skyride, gym. neo, etc within the last year or 2 so the exposure to the set is there.

i’m not trying to compare it to base cuz base was so under valued for so long. i Just think the growth neo/gym got was not on par to the growth skyridge should have gotten for a sealed box. The singles for sure went way up for eseries tho.

That growth of gym and neo was all just us collectors, no “investors” or celebs really. It was about pop reports and undervalued cards. Soon they’ll reach the status of “any wotc set with a charizard = 25k” when someone famous notices

*25k+++

Doubtful D&A will tell you their sales price Bart. If it did sell, I would assume it was very close to their asking price

Plz no I still need many Shinings

Yeah, you’re right :slightly_frowning_face:

But VERY interesting news regarding 1st edition Team Rocket!

On the 17th of October a box sold for $16.1k

HOWEVER, 4 days later the box is at $17.8k with over 6 days left?!

When D&A sells, its no less than 10% of asking price. I bought their PSA 9 1st ed Neo disc holo set and they raised the price on it lol. Was lited for $4500 then they raised it to 5400. I bought it for $5k.

Interesting :open_mouth:

So the question is whether the listing sold, or whether they simply took it out (unsurprisingly as @dbmoney10 suggested: they’ve not replied to my question) ~

I asked them the same question a few days ago about the EX Dragon box they had up for $18k (although I worded it as “I noticed this listing is no longer up; I’m assuming that this is no longer available?”). Also didn’t get a response. Although I’m not certain that we can assume that any of the boxes they had up sold, because it looks like they don’t have a single non-current Pokemon box listed for sale on either their website or eBay. Maybe they were bought out but it’s not clear at this point :/.

HOLY MOLY! PWCC’s box 1st Team Rocket has almost hit $19k!

@zorloth I don’t have faith in them after that :slightly_frowning_face:

I see 2 other auctions for 1st edition Team Rocket box right around 15k that end sooner, so I’m skeptical at best about pwcc’s current price.

Here is Dacard world’s New wotc box buylist. (just received email from them)
1st Base 250k
1st Jungle 20k
1st Fossil 13k
1st Rocket 10k
1st Gym Heroes 9,5k
1st Gym Challenge 12,5k
1st Neo Gen 15k
1st Neo Discovery 11k
1st Neo Rev 19k
Skyridge 30k…

Wow…wasn’t it just a week or two ago that people were laughing at Logan Paul for paying $200k for 1st Ed. Base box? And now it’s already probably double that based on the $250k buylist price and the recent $375k sale…

Also, for reference, the buylist prices of the other WotC sets are:

1st Ed. Neo Destiny - $29k
Expedition - $11k
Aquapolis - $13k

Honestly, the e-Series buylist prices seem low to me relative to how high some of their other offers are.

Yeh sry missed those boxes, thanks for filling. I guess they judge the market by completed sales offers etc… Who knows…

For them to post that means to me these boxes are getting hard to find and they are getting less and less of people selling them their boxes.

They judge the market by how soon and easy it would be to flip it for money. And I’m not saying that as a bad thing. They are a business and they would need to be sure if they decide to liquidate or sell would they get their money back or not. Or on a day-to-day basis, make a healthy profit

Guy on Collectible Guru IG bought a base set unlimited box and 1st ed gym challenge for 65k?? That can’t be real or is it…

He seems to have a way with making people overpay for items. That and he’s already demonstrated his willingness to shill and artificially inflate prices. I wouldn’t trust anything that guy’s involved in.

Base green wing is $40k on their buy list. I wonder if they specify single or multiple country code, nothing was on the listing though
