    You hit the nail on the head… supply/scarcity is correlated to demand… there are like 15,000 PSA 10 moonbreons, and countless more ungraded, but the demand is so high, the price keeps going up… don’t look at how much is out there, look at how many people are competing for the amount that is out there. That’s is a better determination of value than supply/population.

    @AcesPrune 52 минуты назад +1

    It's against the law to state a release date, and sell out fully in pre-order state. There are, however, loop holes, all of which, though, involve digital products. They legally have to fulfil a release. Now, that said, that release will also instantly sell out, now doubt. But they cannot and will not, not release product, on the marketed release. It is fraud to call a sale a "pre-order" if there is no ability or intention to launch the product in retail market. That said, It's entirely possible that they honour a very small amount on full release. However, instant sell out on products in pre-order, only intensifies companies to capitalise a full release. Though, I agree, overtime, the Pokémon card market is going to start seeing scarcity, as you imply. Basically, in summary, get ready to spam click through check out on release. Lol.

    Big difference that no one seems to talk about is GameStop. GameStop has everything in stock except for booster boxes for preorder at normal prices still. Even booster boxes just switched to unavailable the last few days. They are going to have these booster boxes in stores and they have 2,915 stores. one box per store? 3 boxes? 1 case? something we've never seen with booster boxes. I wouldn't doubt it if GameStop's first order for Surging Sparks is more than any other large account when it comes to booster boxes. As for Pokémon Center "out of stock" in my experience checking daily they always go out of stock with each set a week or 2 before release then everything is back on release day. Even Shrouded Fable was out of stock with ETBs a few weeks before release. Makes sense to me to keep the demand high as possible. Really need to see what happens on release and a few weeks after to really know what's true and false on either side.

  • @cStatix

    This has happened everytime they release a set in the SV era. It's just close to release so they disable the add to card function so they can fulfill all the orders in time. It'll come back 100%. For how long no idea but it'll be back.

  • @tdmorton29

    This is more significant than people probably think, I am definitely seeing the trends changing with S&V. Do we think this is driven by the pull rates changing (ie: no guaranteed SIR in a booster box)? Or is the artwork and sets really getting better? Or just needed time for the market to get used to the S&V changes coming out of SWSH?
    Probably a mix of all the above but curious to hear if anybody has feedback on this.
    I love the hot market but I do also agree when Rudy said it was nicer when you could get boxes at release for under $90 or could wait to see if you like the set before you decide to buy.

  • @Heyits_Cesar
    @Heyits_Cesar 3 часа назад +5

    I was skeptical at first, but I’m grateful for the position I have in SS now; 6 booster boxes and one case of PC ETB’s.
    Obviously a reprint/restock could happen; but we haven’t had any major ones, and the fact we’re moving into expansion number 8 outta 12.
    With that said, I’m not as confident they will occur but if they do then I’ll be taking on a bigger position in restocks/reprints for specific products.

    Not related but the scalet and violet era might be longer than just 12 mainline sets. Pokemon did not release a game this year and we still don’t know when gen 10 will be released. Not to mention Pokemon ZA isn’t going to be released until sometime in 2025 and that is still technically part of scarlet and violet. I doubt they only do one or two sets since that game will reintroduce mega evolutions. Could be the biggest era since ex era which had 16 mainline sets.

      Maybe... even with restocks coming I think it'll be hard to ever find surging sparks BB under $120-130. There's a good chance that unless the economy completely crashes (like 2008-esque) SS BB are $200 plus 12 months from now. The demand is just insane. And there's so many streamers ripping now too that it's not even all going to sealed investment closets... wild times.

      @@trevordonnelly4185 I just don't know how more people don't realize this. I think the set is kinda cool but I think this is a boom more than anything and the set being this popular is a byproduct of the 2nd boom. People are also so impatient. Waiting til big box release for non-pokemon center exclusives is pretty easy to do and all sets historically have leveled off. We gotta remember this set is actively being printed.

    As someone new to the hobby and getting into the investing side of things. If we don’t have access to distributer prices and we can’t expect to find boxes for 100 or around there for the new sets coming out what will be a good entry point do you think? Surely buying them from Pokémon center pre release isn’t the move but are sites like safari zone or smoke and mirrors going to be bad options?

But that aside... you still weren't able to order anything in booster box form on pre-order without severely overpaying the original box cost, these same preorders PC is about to send out that are transferring hands multiple times in trades before anyone even gets a hold of one, and somehow people think it's not going to get crazy.

      Right now. In this hype. You wont get in unless you start a physical location and even then you will get very small amounts of product starting out.

    This literally happened with Stellar Crown... I have a screenshot of sold out items just before release date. This is just the period where they cant fulfill preorders due to being close to release date. This "I told you so video" is pointless until we see whether or not Pokémon Center restocks the website after release.

    I don't get ppl saying this set is "mid" or "below average". So many good cards! Pikachu, Latios, Hydreigon, Exeggutor, Milotic, Lisia, Jasmine and a ton of fun IRs. Are these ppl just angry because they didn't order enough? Or just stuck in some weird fantasy land where every set should be ES.

    *Disclaimer* this happened with Stellar Crown and it’s $100 on many sites.
    But the points made here are true. Overall this is good short term for people who buy in early and got boxes at $95-$110 before the hype.
    Bad long term because this will cause a ripple effect. Let’s say the eeveelutions isn’t as great it’ll still be sold at significantly higher than previous special sets. Even if the first main set of 2025 is ass, the boxes will be listed at $120-$130 out the gate.
    This will happen until a few sets in a row happen that don’t meet the hype and stores have to cut prices.
    So overall bad for the hobby long term. 30 year anniversary is around the corner. I’d rather be in a market where I can get boxes and they slowly but consistently go up. Instead of this possible current get half the product you want at higher prices. Leads to a flippers market not an investing or collecting market. Obviously you can still invest but instead of getting 20 cases you get 10. That’s not fun.

    Things come in waves. I bet it was a lot of people who quit for a year or 2 after the pandemic that are coming back as well as people like myself who didn't get into during the pandemic getting into it now. So the market size has got to be getting close to the same levels of the pandemic and might even surpass it as more and more people stay long term after seeing the value and the fun in the hobby. I don't really think it's manipulation of any kind, it's just demand. Yea sure, a few things here and there have been manipulated *cough Charizard SIR* lol, but overall there are just a lot of people buying Pokemon. I definitely have the income to invest thousands on a release, so there are new people coming in with the money to bring to it.
