Marill 204/193
I wanted to share my personal thought on this card - it’s a beautiful card probably second to the magikarp. While marill isn’t a big fan favourite, this still sitting at $20-25 doesn’t quite make sense to me with how much paldea evolved bbs are going for. What do you guys think?

What I bought
This is what I’ve bought over the past two weeks. If you already have a lot of Galarian cards, there are other opportunities out there. Personally, I like yellow border cards and the Scarlet & Violet set. This was mostly a portfolio readjustment — I sold some stock and moved that money into Pokémon. It’s not new money coming in, which is why the buys were heavy. When new money comes in, my approach is different: I focus mainly on single booster boxes. That’s the tried-and-true investing strategy. - Deoxys VSTAR (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – $28.14 - Lapras (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – $24.00 - Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – 2 x $22.00 - Riolu (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – $3.75 - Latias (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – 2 × $9.15 = $18.30 - Deoxys VSTAR (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – $24.75 - Deoxys VMAX (Crown Zenith: Galarian Gallery) – $45.00 - Salamence ex - 187/159 (SV09: Journey Together) – $77.28 - Radiant Charizard (Crown Zenith) – $6.93 - Pokemon Center ETB Twilight Masquerade x 1 - $220 - SV Base Booster Box x 3 - $220 - SV Base Booster Case x 1 - $1500 - DR Booster Box Case x 1 - $2300 - DR Tins Case x 1- $235 This isn’t prescriptive — everyone should make their own decisions based on their collection and goals.

What’s your strategy with buying raw singles? If you have to buy at market and not as a vendor at 80%

My Personal Buy Recs: Everything goes pretty in line with what's just going out of stock and what sealed is pumping. CZ and 151 - which i've been sounding the alarm on for months and months: Crown Zenith All Galarian Gallery cards and products https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/pokemon/crown-zenith-galarian-gallery?productLineName=pokemon&setName=crown-zenith-galarian-gallery&productTypeName=Cards&page=1&view=grid Still an opportunity to buy as there's room to grow, specially with some of the cheaper cards like Lapras, mew, deoxys, etc. Look through this list.. buy what YOU LIKE, you cannot go wrong if you follow that intuition for a set that's going OUT OF PRINT. The likelihood of missing is hard, and if you like it, it'll be MUCH easier to hold if it doesn't move. 151 Cards 151 singles hit a low, and now they're rising up again. Sealed and singles are both fine to invest in. This will keep going up, hit a NEW high then correct back down. Watch out for the cycles they ALWAYS happen. Up down up down, but usually the new lows get higher, especially for OUT OF PRINT SETS. Fukuoka/Hiroshima/Tohoku Pokemon Center Box's When this group first started, these were still all available in lower 200s. Today average box price is now $350. During last night's call I said EBAY prices didn't make sense, when we were still seeing boxes in the 200's. I checked today and all the Ebay prices have been jacked up with Fukuoka listing prices up to $500. When our SUPPLIER prices increase, that's a HUGE flag that things are about to go crazy in the public market. At CURRENT Tran's prices... it's not cheap anymore. I think Tohoku is still a buy around $260 but and with Fukuoka close to $400, it's not an easy buy. We don't know how much they will reprint. For these limited Pokemon center drops, It's always a good idea to grab a little for preorder, a little more once they release (prices almost always drop), but then they rise up FAST, especially if people don't think more are coming out. This does NOT apply to main line booster boxes which will print for years to come. ONLY for limited edition sets would i recommend you getting some exposure early.

Great take as usual Bryant. Thoughts on buying single raw vs psa10? For sealed booster boxes - swsh are a bit out of reach at the moment. But for S&V, which set are you picking? Looking at a full case potentially
Saturday Pick Up - Prismatic
I either have a problem or I’m a genius! 216 Booster Bundles Buy Price $46 each = $9936 Current Market Price $56.92 = $12,294.72 All Time High Price $109.41 = $23,632.56 Instant value increase of $2,358.72 Profit at ATH = $13,696.56 Could be my best play yet! Where does everyone see the price a year from now?

Holy cow that’s a pyramid
Buying Booster Cases
1.5 months ago I bought a DR case for 1900. They are now going for 2500+. I am now targeting other SV booster box cases between 1400-2000. SV may stay dormant for a bit as Mega takes attention but I don’t think any significant SV reprints will occur enough to significantly drop SV price. Just secured a twilight masquerade case for 1900 all in.

@Lou Lou it’s a really hyped set so it’ll be expensive, I’m holding off unless you can get it at MSRP since you’re expecting to be holding it for a while.
