How does everyone feel about the current PC ETB prices? In particular the SV ones with the stamped promos. Do you think its all hype or do you think theres actually some potential to these products long term?
I cannot believe how expensive they are especially since there is the possibility for future reprints like they did for the SWSH sets. That said, there is steady consistent sales for the promos and the sealed boxes so maybe its not all hype?
I know how you feel. I bought them along the way instead of the regular ETBs and they were never particularly sought-after or coveted. All of a sudden the stamped promos became the hotness and the boxes sold out overnight. I would normally say its manipulation or its just hype but the sales are so steady and consistent on them that its throwing me off.
Although i would like Pokemon to reprint them, I’m not sure they will have the capacity with everything else they are reprinting.
I mean they really aren’t that different from regular etbs it wouldn’t be that hard to take some regular etbs put a stamp on them then throw in the extra promo
Ask yourself if it’s normal for a $50-$60 mass produced product to be selling for 5x-8x on the secondary market within months to a few years of its release.
ETBs were always second fiddle to booster boxes. The intro of the PC ETB has been cool, but they’re not that limited to command the prices they do in the long term imo.
It was fun to own! I only own a handful now, don’t have plasma storm anymore.
As far as the pokeball wrap, they only did it for swsh base, and it was just for a limited time. My guess is an excess of pokeball wrap or a lack of clear wrap at the factory, and they just went with it
As much as I think the PC ETBs are gimmicky, this definitely is normal for these specific products. It will be interesting to see what happens over time but I imagine the PC ETB will continue to rise in value over time.
