Its a shame about the reprints imo. Hurts collector confidence. The unlimited boxes of the og era are surprising affordable because of it and I would surprised to see a great movement compared to first ed boxes. I would also be a bit wary of 5ds boxes are Ghost rares could come back, there is nothing stopping Konami doing so. Although one would hope boxes always hold a premium to loose packs. But investing is always a risk.
That is true but it would only make the 1st ed ghosts jump even more in value. Also they have already changed the card stock again since 5ds so there will be differences. Just like how LOB has different print sets with the original being more valuable when you find it and it is distinguished as such, it will be the same for the original versus reprinted ghosts.
Anyone check the new side set coming out “Toon Chaos”? They’re introducing a new rarity to the TCG called “collector rare”. The OCG has this rarity and it looks like an ultimate rare that is on drugs. I think they look pretty sweet! Nice to have a new rarity targeted at collector’s now that ghosts are gone (other than starlight rares which I find kind of ugly).
I will be interested to see which cards are the collectors rare and the pull rates. The new Toon cards are kinda underwhelming playablity wise but I am a big fan of them so always good to have more. Starlight rares are a big no from me so am interested to see what these look like irl.
I have a binder with some! I have like 4 ultimate stratos and a bunch of ulti 1st cards like diamond dude and alius etc, but I need two more ulti dark laws to complete the playset, but he’s getting sooo expensive.
A rainbow parallel finish. How deflating if that’s the finish on these. Basically a super rare finish on the whole card. Not premium enough to be called a collector rare. Now secret rare holo over the whole card would be sick.
