The Most Expensive Weiss Schwarz Card (Set Card) - Bunny Girl Mai Sakurajima

[@rhymestyle]

VERY well made video!

[@PokeMike]

Thank you man! I would have shouted out your stream in the video but I literally recorded this a month ago and only got around to editing it this week 😆 can’t wait! 🙏

[@PalletTK]

This was genuinely like a cinematic movie! Super interesting story and very entertaining watch 👏🏼

[@PokeMike]

Thank you mate!! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@marcoabrillo6854]

Very interesting, i think ill give the anime a try now

Pricing data points at around the Trade-in Campaign 1.- Before the trade-in campaign there were ZERO Nodokas and Mai's price was 150 2.- At the trade-in campaign announcement Mai's price sky-rocketted to 400 3.- 6+ Months after the trade-in campaign was announced and Mai was around 2000 USD Price was it's also clear that exchanging Mai (a 400-2000 usd card) wasn't very rewarding if Nodoka was just playable, that's also a good indicator that IMO would favor Nodoka to be rarer. ok let's evaluate some of today's data: 1.- Mai pop counts as of today are higher than Nodoka's 2.- Nodoka started with a count of ZERO since it was only available via exchange 3.- Mai was available in both sealed products (double the chance?) 4.- Nodoka was more playable, but Mai is/was a more popular character - decision making 5.- if Nodoka was more played, does that mean the available copies are either more damaged and/or ungraded? 6.- if Mai was the more desirable character at the time, then people who got it, kept it? 7.- it is assumed all Mai's pulled were sent but there's evidence of not many people noticing Weiss announcement (18 shares or so, very few comments) some reddit posts mentioning about the announcement 7-8 months in and not willing to trade it, not to mention some regions like LATAM was definitely see this like a challenge (logistics wise) and clearly pricier than the price of the "gift/apology" box to be given for a "very low chance" of pulling another Gold Signature card. - aka very unlikely that many exchanged in some regions. 8.- Sure, Mai's pop counts have the "crack and re-sub" factor but still, at the end of 2021 Mai was priced at around 4-5K if not more, not very rewarding to crack anymore. All things considered I'd say Nodoka is rarer (at least graded) and if so, it might be incorrectly priced.

Having mai is the dream , love this series

[@PokeMike]

I know I wish I never let her go but at least I have the artwork in Japanese now! Thank you!

[@pixeltrainerf7012]

Very true! Mai is the dream.

[@SMCollectibles1]

[@benjamincotterill2859]

Great video, it is such a beautiful card

[@PokeMike]

thanks! I wish I still had my english copy haha

[@aguspranata1098]

nice video.. can you tell me about stellar galaxy suisei with sign to?.. i want to know more about that card

[@PokeMike]

Thanks! Tbh I don’t know much about hololive but I’ll follow it a bit more when vol 2 comes out in English later this year. Hololive has a tone of SPs making it harder/rarer to get certain ones. That means a chase SP is going to be quite a bit more expensive than the typical Weiss Schwarz chase SP.

There's been a few sales since your last update. A BGS 10 was traded for a 1st Ed Neo Destiny Booster Box Sealed (worth more than $45k) by Rhymestyle. SGC 10 was sold on eBay for $15.5k (probably a solid bgs 9.5). I see a BGS 10 listed on private sales for $44k right now.

[@PokeMike]

Thanks for the update! I'll make the updates now

[@pixeltrainerf7012]

Absolutely epic video. Love your content!

[@PokeMike]

Thanks 🙏 Glad you enjoy it!

[@wizauz]

I love the editing on this video great job!! So informative and I love that card! Im gonna hope and pray I get in on that case break! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PokeMike]

Thanks man! It was sort of the ideal video that I really had to push the editing on! 🙏 ah man I hope you do to, that would be insane!! 🤞🎉

[@pixeltrainerf7012]

Whoa, what case break?!?! I need in on this lol

[@pikallo1995]

Awesome vid mike great content and very knowledgeable 👌

[@PokeMike]

😁🙏 thanks mate!

[@xXPain256Xx]

Is it still possible to pull the card from the reprint displays?

[@PokeMike]

No, the error was corrected in the reprints so it’s not there

[@xXPain256Xx]

@@PokeMike Damn it. For a moment i had a little hope

[@JaspersPacks]

great video mike!

[@PokeMike]

Thanks 😁🙏

[@JimmyjoansPizzaloans-s4h]

What’s the song pls 1:45

[@Graves92-y4l]

So can it be pulled in the second edition? I'm just needing to know specifically?

[@PokeMike]

Nope

[@Zero_Two_ist_meine_Frau]

I can this booster box for 90$

[@PokeMike]

That's probably the reprint version, which doesn't have this error in and the SP cards are not signed but just a generic stamp

[@poke7188]

I know why, but I personally don’t think an error justifies that price tag. It’s only 5 years old, if there were only 1 or two in the world then 38k is justified, but it isn’t there’s a lot out there. Just because it was an error doesn’t mean it should be expensive. Every sealed BGSP booster box probably still has it

[@pixeltrainerf7012]

Weiss print runs are really low to begin with. Especially pre-2020 Weiss, which virtually no one collected back then. That single, low print run plus the error leads to extremely low supply, especially compared to something like modern, over printed tcgs like Pokemon. The PSA pops on ALL modern Charizard are astronomically high.

[@pixeltrainerf7012]

SPs are really hard to pull with Weiss too. About one SP every 6-7 booster boxes. And there are about 12 different SPs in this set, you weren't guaranteed to hit the Mai. Doing the math, that's about One guaranteed Mai around every 72 booster boxes. Now imagine nearly all of those being traded in, and that is why the price is so high.

[@rhymestyle]

Basically to add what @Pixeltrainerf7012 said, you can probably count on one hand how many Mai's could exist in sealed boxes. Cases are almost impossible to find and pull rate per box were insanely low. PSA pop is only like 12 and BGS is like 10 for 10s. While I dont understand the price myself, I do understand the scarcity of it.

[@PokeMike]

To add to this. I think most people in the community were seriously shocked that a sealed case was even found at this point for the break you are doing 🤯

[@pixeltrainerf7012]

Case break, you say?! Who's doing one?? I need in on this 😅

[@superspice5659]

Damn, butchered Weiß schwarz Name.

[@PokeMike]

[@SamsGottaCatchEmAll]

[@PokeMike]
