Top 5 buys - December
This list isn’t in any specific order. What you buy should depend on whether you’re aiming for short-term gains or long-term upside, your risk-reward tolerance, and honestly — what you personally like. Nothing here is guaranteed. That said, sealed as a category tends to perform well over time. As a general framework: - Out-of-print sets usually move faster in the short term because supply is fixed. - High total set value is what drives the biggest long-term winners once sets leave print. With that in mind, here are my top sealed product buys and why: 1. 151 Booster Bundles 151 taps into pure nostalgia in a way modern sets almost never do, and booster bundles sit at the perfect intersection of affordability, liquidity, and pack count. Everyone Knows 151. New collectors keep entering through 151, and existing collectors keep stacking it. Steady demand + iconic Pokémon = continued growth pressure. 2. Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles Still early. Still in print. And still — in my view — the best long-term sealed asset of the next decade. The total set value here is the highest of any modern set, and history consistently rewards sets with deep value across many cards (Eveelutions just kill it) once supply shuts off. This is not a quick flip — it’s a patience play — but it’s exactly the kind of set people regret not buying when it was easy to find. 3. Black Bolt ETBs (White Flare is solid too) Completely overlooked, which is why it made the list. Black Bolt has a strong total set value but got overshadowed by Mega Evolutions and Phantasmal Flames. Right now, ETBs around ~$80 give you more packs per dollar than many booster bundle markets sitting closer to $50. This disconnect won't last forever. 4. Crown Zenith bundles/ETBS More expensive, but for good reason. Crown Zenith is fully out of print, universally loved, and already proven to move when demand spikes. Unlike newer sets that still face reprints, this set’s supply is locked, which is why it tends to grow faster in the short term.

I’m working with a friend to pick up a crown zenith etb from him in the first of next month. I can see it doing numbers like 151
How would I price this if I’m looking to sell / trade this card?
I got this card a year or two ago off a stream. When I pulled it from that stream it was priced around 340. This week it’s had its biggest jump, according to Collectr, it’s around 30-40 less than the inferno x mega zard x ex SAR. If I’m looking to move it, is it justifiable for me to go with its current market value OR based on its sales?

UPDATE: sold it on eBay. After fees and shipping label; final sale income was 430. Sold at 500, which is 88% of market

I think solid, since you’re getting sealed back, especially since it’s DR & 151

@Visakh Viswam the slab I can see staying steady is the mimikyu pc etb promo slab I think that’s the only slab I would have kept hold of a little longer.
Phantasmal flames booster boxes being seeded?
@Bryant Jen i saw your reel where you discussed about a Reddit post where the OP opened up many boxes to determine pull rates. What I understood from the reel is that the Reddit OP found that there are guaranteed hits from booster boxes. I am familiar with how terastal festival boxes can be mapped( meaning what ever pack you pull the ace spec card will tell you where you will pull the hit of the box) Is that similar to what the Reddit post was talking about ?

@Nick Alexiou I say try and get a copy of the jpn mega Gengar ex SIR before you take your break tho, I think that card might turn out like fusion strike Gengar vmax alt art

@Nick Alexiou that’s sick! I was fortunate to pull the gold zard and the SAR inferno X in my first two boxes Manifesting the same with mega dream 🤞🏾
Phantasmal Flames
What are y’all thoughts on Phantasmal Flames? Is it a BUST or MUST have?

I’m just ripping this set for fun since I pulled most of what I needed from the jpn set, including the Charizard SAR! I’ve heard that they’re going to print this into the ground, so I’d say investing wise- I’d get an upc from Costco for my sealed, one to rip to grade the promo
