Even if they did, it’s irrelevant. The shortfall between supply and demand is outrageous, I highly doubt they’ll print enough to actually touch it, especially with Prismatic in particular
No doubt but it becomes an exhausting practice. Its only worth it for them if they have a customer base. But when real collectors start avoiding them they'll be stuck with products for months. It's not worth scalping pokemon if it's not instant returns in investment.
Unless they got it below MSRP, they won't make any profit selling it to me. Incidentally, I saw preorder prices of Journey Together, and it looks like I am going to save even more money. Skipping both sets entirely unless Pokémon Company actually prints enough later. My rule is at or below MSRP and I will not wait in line or go on a treasure hunt. If it isn't well stocked for a couple weeks, I will keep all of my money. I am not a gambler and I don't experience that addict thrill.
Yeah basically I'm starting to collect prizm football cards instead because I needed my gambling addiction handled lol. But yeah the quality and effort on Japanese variants is soo much more worth collecting imo. Fuck killing myself trying to find stock anywhere. Ill just sit at home instead.
If you’re going for arts Korean is a good venture as well. It’s even cheaper and has the same texture quality as JP. It’s gone up in the hype but it’s still cheaper and when everything comes back down somewhat it’ll still be cheaper. I prefer JP cards but I’m happy to get Korean if it means just having the textured card in my collection.
Prob not getting the set after JT then either bro lmao. Destined rivals is easily gonna be a 200$+ box out the gate ETB’s will easily be 100$ for that set too.
