Pokemon can't print enough for everyone and with all these rip and shippers supply on sets that are out of print are about to become really scarce. I think we're going to see some crazy numbers on old products once they start to sell out. Investors are going to be the real winners in this. I know someone on whatnot who buys from me for market price and sells for a slight upcharge from that. He's not even popular, has like 5 viewers at a time but still goes through hundreds if not thousands of packs a week. They are all over the place. Those who hold until the drought hits will make a lot!
I dont understand rip and ship. Im currently holding over 200 english booster boxes. I have over 100 japanese booster boxes. Super proud of my collection and my investment. I love pokemon. Ive been a fan since the first episode aired and my first gameboy game was pokemon blue.
I’ll pay to open vintage packs on live stream but I don’t know about modern right now that’s my only concern with rip n ship they buy at whatever price to support the rip anything popular that dips below market price they will but it all up now you have to go to rip n ship to open just released sets 😮💨😮💨😮💨
I don't partake in it, but in this day and age, everything is all about instant gratification. People do it because they can buy and "open" up packs then and there. No having to deal with out of stock things. Also for higher end products, they know they're getting a clean pack, one that likely hasn't been tampered with/weighed as it's coming from a sealed box.
@monkey39128 I'm not saying it will be an extended bear market like 2021-2023 was, but we are in for some turbulence as the S&P 500 and crypto rebalances
@@mototcg337 Yeah you're right. I'm still trying to work out how it'll affect me here in the UK. It'd be nice if Trump let us off to protect his businesses over here. 😂 Mind you most of my money is in the US markets so probably won't make a difference either way.
I personally don't get the appeal of rip n ship. I bought 1 overpriced "rip till you hit" and never again, for me it's not worth it. What I don't understand is how whatnot streamers have unlimited packs, I saw a dude with a great wall of prismatic easily $1000s of it. It's much more satisfying to open up packs yourself. Theres also so much risk involved, lets say you pull a PE God pack, whats stopping the streamer from just blocking you and keeping the cards for themselves lol. Seen it happen so many times
You do realize that you say before people used to just open a couple packs a night… but rip and ship is more… we’ll have you ever thought that those people that were going to open a couple packs a night are the ones buying into the rip n ship
The only difference rip and ship makes is it’s a little more expensive and. It’s one person opening the packs for all those people that would just open 1 or 2 packs it makes no difference who opens the pack
But at the end of the day we have a choice to participate in the Rip n Ship save your money have some self control imo they are the necessary evil to make this hobby grow. Easy at it may sound we just have to secure under MSRP pre-orders if possible.
Well, through rip n ships, those people basically just take a gamble to potentially get an expensive card, by buying 1 or a couple of packs. So, without risking hundreds or thousands of dollars by buying and opening a full booster boxes, they get a chance to pull an amazing card. Of course those chances are low, but losing 5 or 10 dollars is not that big of a deal for them as the cost of a full booster box, whilst the reward can be far greater of course. That said, I completely understand your opinion on this. I too believe people like to be part of the community by being in the those livestream. It's just going to be interesting to find out how much Pokémon can actually print. Right now, it seems they can't print enough for the high demand but you never know, right?
rip & ship - unregulated gambling
It makes it go up

I did a box break once. It was roaring skies, got the $20 mega rayquaza, graded it and got an 8. After that, I never did it again.
XY was so hard to grade. 😭

It's called a gambling addiction
Pokerev actually stole the Rip N Ship idea from Vapor.
Facts
Pokerev stole my hat.
@@monkey39128 bro is making good money sorry about your hat
Pokerev stole my ETB

The only difference rip and ship makes is it’s a little more expensive and. It’s one person opening the packs for all those people that would just open 1 or 2 packs it makes no difference who opens the pack
The take away is that the rip n shippers are just opening the packs for those casual “a couple pack a night” people
CTR is the goat
lots of ppl in those big streams just for givvys lets be honest about that.
Vapor. -mototcg, maybe
