Not Pokemon cards but I have 5 Dragon Ball Super Tournament of Power booster boxes that are going for $400-600 right now. I'm afraid someone will try and scam me for their money back on Ebay though. Heard horror stories.

Isn't there a way to prevent this? How are they doing it? Record a vid of you putting the item in the box and taping it up with the delivery sticker on it so you have proof.

I did buy a repackaged primal clash pack (original booster pack in cardboard and plastic?) that promised "legacy pack + 1 foil card." Now the foil promised could just be a reverse holo, but I pulled a FA Professor Birch's Observations.
I guess if packs were weighable, they could promise a rare holo or above, but I'm not sure if you could weigh x/y. ... Copied to Clipboard!

For what it's worth, Gamestop has Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off on the Hidden Fates tins right now. So that's 2 tins for $34.50
EDIT: Well it's Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off on trading cards in general so maybe there's a better combination that works out cheaper. EDIT2: Looking at the sellers sites, that seems like a crazy good offer. It looks like they are selling those tins for $50? That can't be right... ... Copied to Clipboard!

Do people buy these to collect or are people in here buying them to resell?Both, mostly! For me, I'm trying to let my collecting sustain itself so I essentially can collect for free or at a big discount. Chris runs a card business so for him it's buying them under msrp, selling sealed for msrp, and opening for singles (I'd assume!) Pokemon cards seems like easy money if you're playing the long game, tbh. Some Black and White series packs sell for $50-100 and weren't as limited as hidden fates. ... Copied to Clipboard!

What types of cards appreciate in value with time? I never followed Pokemon TCG, but I know it uses a rotating format unlike YGO, so I'm curious if it's predictable what kind of cards are worth collecting that will appreciate in value down the line

THAT IS GOOD! I would buy all! I bought 2 Tins which is the limit per purchase. Annoying thing is it comes out to like 50 cents under the free shipping total. I had a $5 voucher a wallet I was going to buy for $10 anyway so I threw that in there just to get the free shipping. I figure worst case, I sell them on sealed. So theoretically I could buy more if I could find the cheapest item on the site to bundle with them to hit the free shipping. It's a flash sale that only lasts for another 10 hours. It's online so anyone can buy. Annoying thing is I discovered the Final Fantasy Opus game whilst browsing. They had starter decks for $8 and boosters for $1 that fell under the same sale. So I was going to buy 3 of each starter deck and a ton of boosters too just to play it with the missus. However those must have been cheap prices (which they seemed to be when I googled) as it went out of stock on everything in like 5 mins. I assume someone just bought them all up. ...
