History of the Current Pokemon TCG Boom - Pokemon TCG

[@erncollects]

The sight unseen buying point I 100% agree with. We’re entering some interesting times

[@refineme]

If you have been holding for a few years waiting to sell, this is the moment.

[@monkey39128]

You dumping everything?

[@medcardman]

I agree. I think im selling most of my stuff right now with the goal to buy back in 2026ish. I think we go bear after rocket/start of new era

[@refineme]

@ About half and then what ever I’m holding is practically free now. I keep the money in the hobby so I’ll hold cash until I see more opportunities.

[@FlaminHotChips]

ehh i would wait until team rocket set....that will be more hype than prismatic

[@hudco.]

​@@medcardmanyeah, so pokemon will be celebrating 30 years in 2026 so idk if that'll bring prices down. I think it's a good strat to sell some, maybe enough to cover the cost of your inventory, but not all. That way you'll be playing with house money and prices going down won't hurt as much since you've already made your initial investment back.

This market started spiking after the election results. This was the same kinda boom that had crypto boom as well.

[@MartySumo]

LOL

[@lukes5392]

So i have 2 boxes boxes of twilight masquerade and one paldea evolved that i was saving for a rainy day 10 years down the line is that a good idea?

[@monkey39128]

How can anyone possibly know that?

[@agentcrypto7741]

Great breakdown of timeline. Imo it all started with twm greninja reaching and holding at $300+ that proved sv era isn’t complete sh*t which started the pump.

[@PokéMarketLab-t7j]

Yes that was a massive signal to the market.

[@luciangray3791]

I cant believe I managed to snag a pre-order from rarecandy on a surging sparks booster box and etb combo for just 150. Wasnt too long ago at all

[@finksworld]

I bought that exact same deal on rare candy (and an extra BB). And it was my first order so got an extra 10% off. Never dreamed the market would get so crazy so fast.

[@ethanbarton]

Next video idea: I want to hear your thoughts on the TEF and SSP reprint which has been confirmed

[@monkey39128]

Where'd you get that from?

[@EeveelutionaryTree196]

What do you mean confirmed? By who? Where? When? Why would TEF be prioritized over all other sets?

[@PokéMarketLab-t7j]

I’ve not heard that and have some deep distributor roots. Would love to talk about it if it was public knowledge.

[@ethanbarton]

@PokéMarketLab-t7j AnonTCG posted a video about it

[@nonyia17]

I think we’re touching the euphoria period of this market. I would think after the team rocket set the market will correct but we got a whole mega evolutions set coming too so who knows when this euphoria period will end

[@PokéMarketLab-t7j]

That will be the tell. Once we get past that we’ll see how sustainable it really is.

[@luked4587]

You completely missed the main reason for the sudden surge and start of the bull run in October/November - the release of Pokemon pocket

[@PokéMarketLab-t7j]

Separate video about that coming out soon.

[@kevon465]

My friend in Japan said its absolutely nuts there since launch. Loving it!

[@BRV2728]

This boom is not sustainable. If you’re in this hobby for the long run then you’ll be okay, new “scalpers/investors” will be out of this hobby just as quick as they entered

[@jamesgraves9858]

I'm not sure you understand

[@PokéMarketLab-t7j]

No boom is, and no bear market lasts forever. People will be left holding the bag when they buy high, they get crushed and never touch the product again.

[@-dmm]

JT is mediocre. It will ruin the boom

[@Icethebb]

Unfortunately this market will remain bullish until 2027 everyone is in for a ride baby!
