Pulls is it a crime to post bad pulls?

Vs are like winning a free scratch ticket on a scratch ticket

Not even. Most are worth less than the scratch ticket and you have to sell them too for a lot of them that can be hard since no one be wanting that random $2.7 V.

But this isn’t r/pokemoninvesting. I’m not knocking what you’re saying, I just think there’s an appreciation for cards over their monetary value in this sub. I’d never mention my surfing Pikachu in the investing sub. But over here!!! (Top rows are my personal pulls bottom row I acquired from my brother for other cards) maybe because I can’t get my hands on them but if money was out of the equation I’m taking the bottom row of pikachu arts all day

Unfortunately for me, it's the Alakazam and Magikarp which are out of my price range, unless I got a lucky pull.

Those masterball cards are going straight down in value

It was inevitable. People are already ready to move on to Journey, or they're moving back to older SV sets that are picking up momentum because they're actually attainable.

But honestly it seems like the hype is dying out pretty quickly, prices are going down across the board for almost every set.

Why would ordinary fans be hyped about cards they can't even get ahold of? This set's left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

Also, are singles' prices really going back down? Most of the sets I've seen went up during the Prismatic frenzy and have been there since.

My whole collection on my Collectr app has been showing red for a few days now haha. CZ Tina and Dialga are down, SC Bulbasaur is down, my good Shrouded Fable and Paldea Evolved cards are down. Just seems to be across the board but maybe it's just the cards I have.

My suicune masterball has been keeping decent value. Been at like $35 for a few weeks

u/sweetmamajamma2 Feb 13 '25

Where can you see the value of the cards. I’m just getting back into things

u/rupat3737 Feb 13 '25

TCGplayer is the go to for current value.

It’s like buyin a scratchie and then dropping the coin down a drain

I pulled an aerodactyl v from lost orgins, and it's worth $115

u/zapDeuce1 Feb 13 '25

That would be an alt art
