I opened up several booster bundle displays of Paldean Fates and an entire ETB case earlier this year. The batching was horrible but I was able to pull most of the big cards from the set. ETBs were as low as $50 CAD this past summer in my local area and now they are $75 and rising. I think the Mew is a legit chase card and people will want to open up this set more in the future. Sealed ETBs and booster bundles will be very valuable unless a reprint comes.
It's a good set but I think it is helped by the fact that the core sets so far have actually been fairly weak for S&V era, so the holiday sets like Paldean and 151 stand out more. Paldean Fates is easily a better set than Shining Fates but I am not sure it is as stacked as Hidden Fates to be able to replicate it imo. Like Hidden Fates is soooo stacked that it was genuinely one of the best pack opening experiences. I think also with the new sets coming up like Prismatic and Team Rocket, Paldean potentially could fall by the wayside a little bit again especially if it gets reprints like Shining.
I agree, there are so many reasons why I wont be investing in paldean fates especially not right now when it's less than 10 months old, at high risk of reprinting, and in competition with drastically more popular sets like surging sparks and prismatic evolutions I wouldn't dream of parking my money in this set. I think it's half decent, it's certainly not bad, but it definitely is tainted by past sets like shining fates which failed miserably, to the point that it's STILL available everywhere here at retail, and even hidden fates, which got reprinted literally to death. It's a set that scares investors off, and I absolutely don't think the possible investment value makes it worth buying at all. This is absolute artificial inflation to move stock, anyone who falls for it is a foolish fool.
Good content 👍 I missed the Pokémon centre etbs as I was still chasing 151 heavy at the time but I did manage to grab a lot of regular ones a few months back for £32-36 each and then bubble took off so I’m pretty happy with that. Don’t see this getting reprinted much if at all.
@@ViolentRainbowi like how this and scalpers is always the answer for people when prices go up. Did you miss the part he mentioned the prices went up on tcgplayer and ebay? This is organic growth due to supply and demand.
eh idk man. Seems like people are just scrambling to random sets because everything else is just gone. Also the only thing worth would be the PC ETB version tbh. Aint no way a regular etb going at $70-80 lmao
My personally fav set of this year. The reason is I still have to do baby shiny master set !!!! and I love how they look !!!

This set was there for the taking all year- Target had ETB's as low as $37.49 for months. Glad I took those opportunities

Got 1 random etb of Paldean fates for $48 a coupla days ago, so happy
Dang I remember pulling bubble mew on my first ever etb when paldean fates came out! So glad I’ve held on to it
Pulled my first Bubble Mew two days ago. I was opening some lose packs I had sitting around and it surprised me.
You were looking at the lightly played chart for the charizard

Brought two sealed displays for $400 for both sold them yesterday cor $700
Can’t blame you for taking profits, though I think it’s less likely than other sets to get reprinted based on priority.
If your in the UK I would take advantage of the Tik Tok vouchers this weekend 👍 Picked up x2 temporal forces £61 each and x2 paradox rift £70 each 🙌
glad i hanged onto my 3 pokemon center etbs, and 6 booster bundles
It's just artificial inflation. This set isn't even 10 months old yet. Don't fall for it gang.
Got a case of booster bundles for £165 a couple months ago
This set is available everywhere I live for slashed prices. Nobody seems to want it
Yeah this is called artificial inflation.

Just bought a case two weeks ago i noticed i couldnt find any and the price of the mew i knew this was coming lol
Paldean fates was on sale on smyths for £12 for a booster bundle
Paldean Fates is gonna be a sleeper set until is rises with hype around the newer sets
Paldean Fates Booster Bundles for under 30€ are a great deal right now

I have a ton of paldean fates. I have 4 Pokemon center etb cases.
i got that Charizard in first etb!
I've bought as many etbs as I can store without awakening the fury of my other half
Bad move.
i have got 4 pokemon center ETB for 72€ each
Bundles are kings, hate etbs
It has to happen honestly
Got 1 random etb of Paldean fates for $48 a coupla days ago, so happy
