[@shmick19]

So I saw the recent bull in a poke shop video where you got a load of the dip right now (August 23)....its so interesting to watch a similar video here from 8 months ago. The narrative layers on how these sets prices fluctuate....you mentioned Chilling Reign 2nd re-print here and on someone elses video they explained with hindsight that CR suffered mainly due to the fact it released just before Evolving Skies, but actually the hits are great and the market just wasn't there for it at the time. Then you have the over-arching narratives of Pokemon itself and the trends you see. Truly interesting stuff. Its fun to retrospectively see these narratives....and to hear Rudy make stupid noises and tell his anecdotes.

[@H-M-S-Gravy]

The Pokemon Company honestly put out some of the best products they ever have over the last two years, not even including the japanese stuff, my god that's a whole 'nother level. The main sets are still fun to open (mostly), and the special/premium sets have been homeruns pretty much every time. It's crazy how well they've been running the company, and all they did was give people the shit they fucking wanted

Probably just jealousy. Literally Rudy's game plan is buy product. Sell some product. Keep some product to invest in. When I see people whine about pump and dump its like... he invests in it too you Timmy 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@NL_the_Godfather]

I think the prices stay this high because of the time and effort they put into making the hype go on for new generations. I see this with my own son. The kids all know pokemon from TV and love to buy cards, they will be the ones buying them in 30-40 years, for insane prices. They already hear stories of insanely expensive charizards, so they look up the value of each card they pull online right away. When you look at Dragon ball z for example nobody had heard of it in my son’s class, until they put something in it in Fortnite. A collaboration deal. Also these cards are less popular even though my son likes DBZ more now that i introduced him to the anime series. MTG is missing this kind of content and i think that’s what’s making it less popular among younger players these days. Which is a shame, because they will in time be the ones that will keep playing it and buying more cards each year, once they get hooked.

[@tormmac]
