    As long as you’re confident in your purchase, FOMO should not be a bad thing. Good luck on your purchases!! 🎉
    I preordered 4 pc etbs of surging sparks, just to see if they would sell out before release date. If they do I will keep them. If they don’t sell out before release date, I’d probably just get my money back. 😅 It allows me to know how excited people are about this set and if they like it enough to buy it, while locking in some product.

    I sold my Lugia V full art for $160 that I pulled from a booster pack back in 2022. Then I rebought it for $130 in 2024 right before it shot up in price at $200. So it looks like it’s coming back down in price. It truly is one of the most beautiful cards in the sword in shield era.

    Thank you for posting about the 151 booster bundles at Walmart. Here in Canada we got a small re-stock about a week later and because of your video, I had been checking daily. I decided to buy the maximum 10 allowed per purchase when I saw them in stock. They were sold-out within a few hours.

    Probably the only person in the U.S doing this, but I'm trying to complete the Shrouded Fable Master Set 😅. It's a small set, not very expensive, and I actually like it. I played the game (Scarlet) so I'm familiar with the main pokemon in that set. I like it better than Twilight Masquerade, but that's just my very unpopular opinion. Stellar Crown has a few beautiful cards, but overall an average set in my eyes. Surging Sparks, however, looks promising as hell 😎 To whoever reading this let me ask: Top 3 sets from the Scarlet and Violet era? And why? 🤔

    Im having a rough time determining how much I want to spend on 151 sealed. I just got 4 Poster sets for $12.50 each on sale from Dollar general, some sneaky drops there. I didn't have it in me to drive all over town, but I saw these Booster boxes pop up and didn't buy some, decided not to miss out on those. Opened one and pulled SIR Venasaur so thats a $30+ already. I ordered like $300 in tins too. I'm not thinking that im an every set collector so I really feel like its worth it to sink in some dollars on 151 while its available.

    the persian seems to still be around the mid 30s range, there are still some going for 40-50 on ebay. I think the japanese version being around 10ish brings the average down, but i feel like getting it at low 30s is a decent buy.

    What's your advice? Is preorder bundles for Surging going to be cheaper than black-Friday? Should we order now or wait for those deals? I've got a PC ETB pre-ordered but wondering about a BB/ETB combo or two and if the current deals (around 120-130 for both) will be cheaper than black friday or not. First year watching poke-market so I don't know what it normally does over holidays.

    • @Itwasneveraphasecards

      Great question! With the hype that the set is getting it’s possible that the box prices could rise above preorder pricing quickly. This isn’t a guarantee but that’s why I got my boxes already. My sealed boxes I plant to hold for years so if I ended up paying a little more per box it’s not a big deal to me.
