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!

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 ;).

I propose build a post where everyone can post some proposal cards about there is a possibility of skyrocket in early future. If you justify your proposal beyond being a favorite illustration, it will always be more valid for the purpose of this post for other users. ❗❗❗Remember that this post is not an investment recommendation, simply an informative post where we share our tastes and proposals. Each user must be responsible for their financial situation and never spend or invest more than their financial capabilities. 🚫 For example this illustrations from Komiya. 1. Card Drowze sv1v Violet 086/078 in JP. Low price: 1$ High price: 25$ Actual price: 19,17$ (+666% up in last 3 months). 2. Card Frigibax sv2p Snow Hazard 075/071 in JP. Low price: 2,50$ High price: 7,18$ Actual price: 7,18$ (+99% up in last 3 months). 3. Card Actibax sv2p Snow Hazard 076/071 in JP. Low price: 2,50$ High price: 4,58$ Actual price: 3,98$ (+54,26% up in last 3 months). 4. Card Braxcalibur sv2p Snow Hazard 077/071 in JP. Low price: 3,38$ High price: 15,99$ Actual price: 11,27$ (+217% up in last 3 months). All of them in English have experienced even more skyrocketing but actual price is over 30-50€ in mostly of cases so is less attractive to get into you collection. ,
