reminds me of the fool who bought the first PSA 10 Van Gogh Pikachu on the market, it was like 1-2k I believe. These people will be watching that price fall soon enough
It's a crazy price, but the logic for why someone would still buy it holds water. I've spent about $400 on SF, and I have almost nothing to show for it except 5 ace spec cards.
I've opened 44 packs total and scored 11 hits. 4 EX, 3 full art, 3 IR and 1 SIR. My best hits were the Houndoom and the Cassiopeia. Hit rates seem like a hit or miss with people.
@@keemeister larger pull rates have pointed towards it being rougher, smaller sample sizes have been all over the place. Glad you’ve done well though 👌🏼
Honestly i thought that this houndoom not being such a good playable card that it would drop like the battle styles houndoom very quickly. But its all the opposite. I guess i got lucky, just opened six packs and found it.
I didn’t realize the pull rates were that bad, I personally haven’t touched that set. But after hearing your take, I’d rather just buy the single at 40$ and have it for the binder. But it just doesn’t speak to me or my collection.
Great video and great points 👍 when I first saw shrouded fable I thought this set has the best illustration rares so far. I didn’t look at price tags just the beautiful artwork- that’s what I go for in a card 👌
I really hate the artificial market manipulation that has been rampaging through the card collecting market (very specifically in Pokémon) Ever since 2020. There are all of these groups that collude in buyouts and then artificial price hikes trying to get a quick buck. And as a collector of cards and a player of card games, it's so upsetting to me. Yeah some cards were always expensive or hard to get, but the prices that they've reached nowadays through online hype training just breaks my heart. This used to be hobby accessible to almost anyone, from young children, to teenagers, to full grown adults with a real adult paycheck. And now, I feel like the majority collector market has just kind of tarnished it in a way that it wasn't before
Pokemon card investors are just hiveminds man, like can i just enjoy the game and build the deck witout looking to find a card and then realize its now $300 for a single like its infuriating
This space can be pretty exhausting sometimes hey.. these things don't necessarily hit me hard because I don't pay silly prices but it's pretty annoying to see stuff stonking all the time
As much as I want to be wrong I feel like a lot of Illustration Rares can climb hard in the future. Just so many of them and most if not all are very nice looking
@@captainslow5676 aside from the super niche batching incidents, hit rates have been really rough overall. Definitely be happy you ran into a good batch👌🏼
Bro funny thing is I pulled this on my 1st pack of S.f from the ninja box. I hate manipulation but if it stays I'll just sell it lol I could use the money
I traded one of these for a prize pack iron hands ex lol. It's not rare enough to be worth these prices even though shrouded fable has hard pull rates.
Are you new to eBay? You are able to see exactly what the “crossed out” listing sold for and buyers choose what is the minimum offer they will take and can choose to allow much less than 10%
The statement you make starting at 1:46 is not true. The seller can accept an offer of $1 if they want, on any set listing price. The automatic offer accept feature is something the seller sets, not ebay. The only way to know what the sold price was on a best offer is to check a site like 130point
@@Westernfish9001 Sure they can, just like anyone can sell any $100 card for $1. Thing is, nobody does it and data supports that. Most typically go off the base system in place with 10-20% lower from ask as the minimum offer. Also, this specific sale was ended at $390, so the statement made checks out.
@@DamaCollectsCardsI just mean that ebay itself doesn't force a rejected offer if it is greater than 10% off the listing price. The seller has total control either by setting automatic rejection of offers below a certain amount or just manually rejecting offers
@@Westernfish9001 no for sure, but in the case an individual makes an offer below the seller’s base accepted % under when listing, it will reject offers below that.
It’s seriously so frustrating. Quality control is terrible. Hard enough to get some of the hard pulls, and then incredibly disappointing when they’re super off center
MoonDoom time I see 👀

It's the cleanest card in the set. Addictively beautiful. Not surprised people are milking it.
@@SpringBudEyes definitely one of the best houndoom cards ever

My kid pulled 2 of these Houndooms (yes, duplicates!) out of the same regular 9-pack ETB. Not complaining, but batching really is all over the place.

Have you been watching the pokemon center charmander? That guy is going for $500 now too lmao
Is houndoom ir the new Moonbreon? 😱
@@frogartti uh oh🥴
@@Theu131 we found him😩
It's decent but I doubt they are comparable 😅
it's a good looking card, but it's not thattt good...
No
Love this card and the art on it, but definitely crazy !!
I’ve pulled two houndoom in like 100 packs no Persian. I’ve had the best hits in mini tins.
It really sounds like you need to buyout the bewears. Gotta fight fire with fire🔥
WE RIDE AT DAWN
Trainer gallery vmaxes has a hard hit rate..why aren’t those cards going to the moon 😂😂
@@s0ur_deeI mean they’ve been pumped before👀
I agree someone out there invested way too much in shrouded fable and everyone hates it. There’s no way that card should be taking off like that lol
I did just sell a Persian for 51 on eBay though tcg says it’s at 26 and crashing. That’s why I don’t like tcg. Price charting still has it at 38
Definitely manipulation of this card
Houndoom is my favorite fire dog/wolf Pokémon. I got him in my first 3 pack with the other week
I just pulled it the other day out of a booster bundle

Great points and video as always 👏
I like dog. Dog don’t like me.

I hate that houndoom artwork. If that's the best card of the set I'm glad im passing on shrouded fable.
We've ALL seen this happen, this isn't news... it's not even a month. Just wait.
Feel sorry for the people buying it now though.
I’ve opened a case of greninja/Kingdra boxes and pulled casi, the bird and the this dog. Idk how ppl can’t pull stuff

I’ve been on eBay for 7+ years. Not my primary form of sales though. What was the sale if that’s the case?
Raging Bolt and Morty's conviction both shot up then calmed back down
Wonder how that happened 👀
Just buy Japanese, look at gorgeous art and safe some money 😎

I pull it in my first pack 😂
I dont understand why is Persian not the one being manipulated
@@BigtheJoes his time will come eventually
This Houndoom is super clean. It has the "it" factor. No, I wasn't paid by the scalpers to say this, lol.
Not gonna lie I do love this card
@@PokeRetroFan it do be fire
But why? Did the buyer buy it himself??
The problem is all the cards are fuckin warped and mis cut it’s impossible to get a 10

Doge to the moon!
Why does this not surprise me?
I’m glad I don’t give a f$&k about Shrouded fable or stellar crown. Like Obsidian flames they’re all terrible boring sets. 😂😂😂
Market manipulation for sure
Pulled this when they released didn't know what I had then lol
i fucks with you
I pulled a Houndoom in the first pack I opened.
I smell hot dog doo
