Thanks for the video. I am also someone who has never had to sell any of my cards because I only ever spend what I can afford on the hobby. This limits my ability to compete with people who are sinking all their available capital into pokemon as an 'investment'. I love watching your videos because it makes me remember why I love this hobby in the first place.
About the English product... I wouldn't worry. I feel that it is unsustainable for the "Investors" to keep buying all the first product just to sit on it. Just wait and the retailers will eventually get their product for there is demand there as well. Hopefully, Terestal festival and the coming anticipated releases will be printed INTO THE GROUND, and even the rarest cards will be attainable (even to a casual like me)!
For Prismatic it boils down to patience. A lot of RUclipsrs have shops and are monetized for big videos so any sensational fomo, hype, debate, "hot take" and investment content is rampant. People are hoarding, scalping, new people and people who have been in the hobby for a while or way longer. Meanwhile I got preorders that are being fulfilled (at MSRP) and if I see some when I go to the store for actual shopping I'll grab some. 7 month print run span with the Trainer and Rocket set on the way means all the rat racers will move to the next thing. Pokemon cards are the only thing I collect and I hope to get a few chases from this set along with 1 of each sealed product to display. (I hope the 2 english premium collections look incredible like the eeveeloution vmax premium collections did) Hope you get all your wants when the hype levels out!
