7:25 so true! I picked up several around 400 and never had a double about it.

The great thing about EVO is that I can hold it and have no desire to rip it. I have been stomped on enough to want any more.

[@PokePond]

Yeah hit rates can be brutal for evo!

[@SDCISHERE]

Great fun

I know there's always the looming threat of an American reprint but the Japanese and American markets are so set apart that the cards inherent value in Japanese are fractions of the price of the American counterpart. If they were to reprint scarlet and Violet in english it would completely devalue every single or set. Pokemon does not have a problem with demand when it comes to buyers. They have some wonderful problem with specific demand of order sets that are no longer in print but that is healthy. It increases the price and rarity of certain sets at the same time leaving newer sets completely available for the general public at MSRP. I feel like the only thing that would drive in english reprint would be a demand that is not able to be met. Pokémon also uses Japanese cards as their right hand , Meaning that they will test things in the Japanese market to later than bring to the American market if it is successful. I feel like right now the reprint in Japanese is Pokémon's way of making all sets available without actually having to reprent the english sets that are unavailable or higher then msrp. If the Japanese and American market were interchangeable then I would be completely concerned But they have always been too completely different markets when things came down to it. Overall the demand for Japanese is different than the demand for American as weird as that seems.

True, in the past though they have destroyed a few english sets by printing them into the ground when it wasn’t needed. There seems to be a few in each era. 👍

For me, its all about rainbows, multiple copies of IRs, and securing chase SIRs. But i never buy cards i think are ugly. That way i have art if the value crashes

[@PokePond]

Yeah it sounds strange but its important to question what you like.

[@Chickentorchic]

Reprints are amazing! Make the TCG great again ❤

[@Wayoutofdate]

I picked up a heap of es etbs at £65ea, it made sense as booster boxes were £360 at the time. So etb price per pack was 20% less. The etb play is still a win imo. Space is the only pain.

[@PokePond]

Yup and shipping is annoying but hey 👍

[@Wayoutofdate]

@@PokePond shipping in the uk is easy, small package up to 2KG with Royal Mail second class is approx £3 and if purchased online comes with free tracking. It’s not even a consideration.

[@PokePond]

@@Wayoutofdate Yeah but for me I don’t have a car so I have to carry all my orders to the post office 😂

[@parkerC1990s]

People are sleeping on these ETBs and Blisters! Fusion strike blisters are dirt cheap on Pokemon center

[@PokePond]

Agreed, they will look very cheap looking back in a years time. 👍

[@PokeSeph]

I'm still losing money with my luck 😢

[@PokePond]

Ah she does go that way some times 😅
