Great analysis. Typically with new releases do you buy singles when you find them at best timing to buy? Or do you buy products to open? if so which products do you prefer?

I have kept track of set releases and prices crashing since SM era. 6 years at least? It’s all the same story. Yes you will have some singles exception. But most all crash the first 3 months. Then stabilizes up and down the next 6 months. The best time to buy singles is when the set is right about to rotate. Maybe like 3 months before it rotates. You don’t want it but it after it rotates or else it may be too late. When it rotates out is usually when packs and products for that set dwindles and no longer be massively available thus hamper down the available supply. Then it’s really just sloward natural demand from there as time go by. I am also a sealed collector and investor so I do buy the bread and butter booster boxes and cases for collecting, investing and hopefully get to enjoy ripping them with my kids later on. I don’t really buy other sealed unless it’s really marked down. Hope that helps. But at the end of day, it’s to have fun and enjoy. Not a sin to once awhile splurge and have fun ripping packs to get that dopamine ;)

@@pokeetf Thank you for the reply, for instance of your rotation example, lets say for Twilight Masquerade - would you buy 3 months before the next set comes out for singles? I'm Just making sure I understand what you're saying correctly. and thanks for the insight.

There’s a couple things to know. First, rotation happens every April. Every Pokemon cards have a letter on the bottom left. In these cases, twilight masquerade cards have the letter H. Right now rotation is F, G and H. So… April 2025, cards with F will rotate out. April 2026, cards with G will rotate out. Then April 2027, those twilight masquerade cards will rotate out. So there’s a 3 year window where the pokemon company can potential keep busting out new products that contain twilight masquerade cards. Thus 3 years of potential new supplies of cards. Thus why I think it’s crazy to buy cards now because I am pretty certain all of these prices will go down in a year or so. My experience buy at least in 2026-2027. But because people or collectors can’t wait that long, people want the cards now! So I won’t blame them. I can wait. Right now you should be picking up cards that have the F letter because they will rotate out. Those would be in the sword and shield era astral radiance lost origin and silver tempest etc.
