A reprint is no different to a capital raise by listed companies. Dilution of value. The difference is, the reprinted packs are opened, and for every opened pack, increases the value of unopened packs. Eventually, reprints stop... unlike companies who continue to capital raise.
That’s why I like investing in sealed product, eventually everything will go up as supply drys up. It’s an easy way to almost ensure returns down the line
I sold my SIR Charizard that I pulled and probably cost me less than $30 for $250. Going to buy one with better centering when it goes down. $150ish is fine with me.
graded prices are fun to look at. 150-200 for a card is nice but sunzard hitting $710 in a psa 10(last highest i saw) is even more exciting. 38% gem rate!
I really dont think this new product coming to market will have much affect on 151. Even if it does deflate the prices on sealed and singles, the market will eat up this product so fast and bounce back almost immediately. This will likely be one of the last chances to get a freshly released 151 product and give collectors the opportunity to add these promos to their master set. Everyone will want to open a box.
Good point. It seems more and more product is popping up at the big box stores. I too doubt value will fall much but it will fall and recover. Like I said, even if you buy in over MSRP this will be a product that flies up in value long term
I’m not super excited for surging sparks. I think it’s a solid set but it’s not that damn amazing. People will realize this once we get into the next 3-4 sets.
I’d imagine most people are only excited because pretty much all of 2024 sets have been mid. Imo this is the strongest of the year but when you compare to what’s to come in 2025 yeah this one won’t be anything too special. Maybe the chilling reign of the sv era
Don’t be fooled. This article does not confirm an English reprint, just the fact that a new product is being created. Most likely this is with left over stock. The fact that they specifically state that there will be a Japanese reprint but avoid the verbiage all together for English makes me believe even stronger that there will not be an English 151 reprint. Obviously every company likes making money, but Pokémon is very strategic on how they make theirs. Think about how easy it would be for them to port the old games to switch, add online battling and a ranking ladder. TAKE MY MONEY. Pokémon forgoes this option, but why? Because they believe it will pull from their new products. With the next special set right around the corner and all the new sets due to be released within the next year (sparks, rocket, trainers) PC will look to push these products onto the surge of new customers, not just have them stuck on 151
Pokémon’s playing all of us like a fiddle… I think they are just DIALED IN and are crushing everything right now. Really handling the amount of product just flawlessly, I think they are pushing for more/earlier purchases at msrp from their website!
That’s a good point. I do feel like a reprint is still possible for English 151 and a restock could be massive in size, obviously we don’t know for sure but I do see where you’re coming from with Pokémon always wanting us to look forward to the next! If they ported old games to the switch it would effect sales of games like SWSH and SV even tho everyone would be happy lol I’d happily drop hundreds of dollars for all old GB-DS games in the switch just so I don’t have to emulate them and sit on my PC. Either way im interested go see what’s in store and even with a Japanese reprint confirmed, if that price drops again lots of people will focus funds on more of that product over the english
@@Trevor-TCG I really don’t understand the hype around the SiR zard but people will like what they like and I’m ok with that. If I miss out, oh well. My loss 🤷♂️
i got extremely lucky i pulled 2 zards in 1 upc last year. got them graded and both came back a 10 i’ll be selling one of them now that it’s hot
That’s solid
That’s awesome! Good plan to sell! I think it’s gonna go down before going any higher so now might be a good time! Congrats on the hits

it isn't going down gl
Right on! I feel like it’ll get there if you give it time! Nice come up on the sale

Yeah that card is going crazy in a 10! A lot of these SIRs are getting expensive but low chance at a 10 is great for the ones who get em!

Would you be willing to sell those dice? I like to do art with them 😅 love your content!
For sure! Message me on Instagram and we can chat about it! If your in Toronto area I can just give ya some
I don’t like the SiR zard from 151…at all. The charmeleon and charmander are cool but the zard is not it. I do love the 151 full art zard though.
I’m the same! I prefer OBF or PAF zard anyday. Full art zard is a beaut tho!
