Great presentation. When I started collecting years ago I was buying XY Evolutions booster boxes at $90.00 per box and the supply was plentiful, sold those boxes for $600.00 per box, they are now at the $800.00 price. Dang, I should have bought more. Lucky to get 3 sealed Surging Sparks booster boxes from the Pokémon Center before they sold out. I think if you wait you will see more products become available especially with the hype on Prismatic Evolutions coming soon.
Actually your point about the holiday season is something I never considered, especially with Pikachu on the box. Compare that to the last set where a DLC newcomer (Terapagos) that most casual fans won’t recognize is the headliner
Stopped by my local target last night, shelves were pretty cleaned out. but i did pick up a single Polchageist/Sinistcha Promo Booster and it happened to have a Surging Sparks in it if someone really needs their fix and try their luck!
Its scalping...pure and simple. Same with other collectibles..as soon as ppl can make money on it these things happen...Trust me, been collecting stuff for over 30 years.
That’s all it is. Not buying isn’t going to get you a pack. Only people who buy in bulk and have distributors are telling you to stop buying. Because they need the inventory to sell back to us later lmao.
Sure yall, keep waiting. Prince won’t go up. It will only go down lmao. Trend is different for now. Eventually this will be the case. Not happening at the moment though. If you want a set that has just released or is coming out you are going to have to pay over msrp. And the longer you wait the more expensive it will most likely be. I work in finances, and this is simplest form economics. Supply and demand. So stop buying and listen so everyone who buys in bulk or has a distributor can get more and sell to you instead. Listen sheeples!

I just sold a surging sparks master set on eBay with all promos for $2,100 on 12/20/2024
Thank you Tiger. Hope you’re doing well.🙌 Seems like an excellent investment before it really sky rockets btw
Thanks!! You too ✌️Definitely a set to hang on to at the right price at or below retail. Just need to give it time 😁
Was it a PC ETB that they were talking about it? I can understand the $100 for that, but a regular SS ETB for that price is crazy.
@@PokePharmD exactly. Guy doesn't know the difference
How can certain cards be so expensive when it's mass produced?
You will get what you want if your patience

Supply and demand... maybe?🤷♀️ Oh ya, and cRaZy inflation!
^^ I paused the video when I wrote that before I watched the rest of what you said.😍

Man, I don't even have the ETB Promo of Magneton 😢
Dang bro 😢You'll get one 💯⚡

Somehow I pulled the Pikachu twice out of about 20 packs 😂
On Amazon its $45 bucks on my country (México) Should i buy it for investment??? Or not, serios question
btw it's English ver.
I honestly hope you're wrong. Banking on surging sparks to soar
Only true Pokémon fans, wear a DBZ shirt 😂
You forget it's Christmas time so it's not scalping it's just an opportunity
