Been buying these raw for around $8-$10, and I got psa 10s of them all when they were around $100 (around $300 now or so) I think these are crazy slept on still due to this 1. Eeveelutions 2. Hard to grade (yellow border trainer galleries have horrible QC! So many fuzzy edges) 3. pop counts / gem rate 4. Brilliant stars has first ever trainer gallery 5. feel good cards with trainers :) Flareon PSA 10 count 1042 , gem rate 24% Jolteon PSA 10 count 990, gem rate 27% Vaporeon PSA 10 count 1434, gem rate 30% Eevee PSA 10 count 886, gem rate 20% these remind me of the piplup / mimikyu / magnemite from cosmic eclipse although brilliant stars was the first set with a official trainer gallery sub set, yet another reason why I think these will do amazing. Would also highlight the Kingdra and Gardevoir from astral radiance trainer gallery.

I currently have $1,000 USD to invest in pokemon. Whether it be sealed, singles, graded, etc. what would you buy with that budget? I’m talking short term stuff that will give me good returns in around 6 months or less. What would be the best play in this volatile market?

A booster bundle is almost 2.5, 3x MSRP. Is it still worth getting?
