Sealed product prices in your country — how bad is it?
Hey everyone — just curious, how are sealed product prices looking in your country right now? Are you also experiencing shortages? Here in the Czech Republic, new sets are already starting at 2–4x MSRP at most retailers the moment they drop. Would love to know if this is a global thing or just our region.

@Jesse Kroon Is there any way to buy the Japan Post Box in physical stores? Or do they not sell such exclusive products in those stores? I wanted to know so I can decide whether to look for it when I go or just forget about it.

@Jesse Kroon If I go next year, I will definitely bring that box back with me. I thought it would be impossible to find, but I guess with a little bit of luck, you can find it. Thanks

Fake PSA Slabs?
Has anyone come across fake PSA slabs before? I bought this online and it turned out to be fake… I’m in negotiations now to try and get a refund but the vendor platform support is useless… I’m not sure if the seller knew it was fake as he said he bought it from a card fair and he had lots of good reviews. I’m gutted as I love that card and finally had chance to buy it in a PSA10 😭

@Nikolaj Salling Thygesen This specific card is an Illustration Rare (AR), which means it only has a smooth holographic foil finish. The rral Magikarp card does not have any physical texture or embossing. This one has texture so it's fake. You can also check the slab with a UV blacklight. Real PSA labels have hidden logos that glow under UV light, while fakes usually don't

Current market and plays
Hey everyone, I would like to share my thoughts and wanted to have a discussion about the current state of teh market. I’ve noticed it’s getting increasingly difficult to find good and affordable sealed products with real potential. The market has exploded in 2025 – products sell out quickly, prices are way above MSRP and even (small) reprints seem to make investment outcomes less predictable. That’s why I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what sealed Pokémon products are currently the best investment opportunities in this current market. This could be recent sets, upcoming releases, or more niche items like special ETBs, promo boxes, or Japanese sealed products. A few questions I’d love to discuss: - Which recent or upcoming sets do you still see growth potential in? - What’s your view on the risks of reprints? - Are Japanese products a better play right now? - Are there alternative sealed items (like pin collections, holiday sets, etc.) that might be flying under the radar? Personally, I’ve been looking at 151(ETBS, boosterbundles), Prismatic evolutions (ETBS and bundles), and possibly some older Sword & Shield sets that are still somewhat accessible(Fusion Strike, Lost Origin, Chilling Reign, Astral RAdiance, Silver Tempest or Brilliant Stars). But I’d love to hear your strategies and opinions! I think reprints wont hurt as they used to like lost origin and fusion strike in de Sword and Shield era. They will dip maybe 20% but at what pricepoint are you prepared to pay for a BB? For me its around 150 euro for a BB (Journey and and Destined Rivals (maybe 160) In my opinion Japanese are a good alternatieve in this kind of boom market but English will always be preferred when the market is down. So i dont have allot of japanese myself (i have VStar uni and 151 bb) Looking forward to the discussion! Edit 31-12-2025 Right now im trying to buy surging sparks and twilight mascarade bb for under 200 euro. Prismatic bundels for 50/60 ish. And any bb or etb at MSRP:)

Hi, I think the best investments right now are 151, Prismatic Evolution, and Destined Rivals. Rushing to get them, also makes them more expensive. For example, I got the Journey Together box set for 120€, but I reserved it in December when the market wasn't so crazy. I got the ETB much later, through patience and waiting for Amazon to have it in stock. I also wait for notifications about products I'm interested in at a price similar to the MSRP.I'm not buying anything for more than 5-10€ off the MSRP. Stores are going crazy with their prices, often almost double their usual price. I'm a collector, not a millionaire, and I don't like being ripped off directly from the store. In fact, I'm ruling out buying more from all those stores that are taking advantage of a booming market. I've also received resealed products from Amazon on a couple of times. The current situation is quite shameful....

@Nick Meesterberends Thats the problem, this is a product that should not be eligible for a return, except for something like a language error that is not clear in the page.

Welcome @Marf Shoe Great card. This is one of the cards I'm missing in English. In the beginning, I just collected the art. So, getting the card in one language was enough for me. Over the years, I started organizing my sets by language. Luckily, although I prioritized different cards, I never traded a card in different languages that didn't have a duplicate. So, I have this card in Japanese, not even in NM condition, and it's one of the three I'm missing to complete my Neo4 set. Do you prefer/collect vintage or from all sets?

Hi, my name is Adrian, I'm located in Poland. My favorite card in my collection is Ancient Mew. The reason I collect is I love Pokemon, I love money - If you can combine both then sign me up ;).

Welcome @Adrian Goldee yes, thats a gorgeous card, even is not playable. They should do more cards like this, is much better than actual metal cards.
