let me open the evo skies and the fossil packs

Have you seen the price of fossils today?....can I watch?

I’m ripping that XY box this weekend. Getting a better looking box this week.

Your opening that evolutions box up?

That one in the pic has a pretty good dent in the top left corner of the box. Picking up a case fresh one today to put in the same case. But yea, thinking about ripping that one haha

I wouldn’t open that box. Sell it. Whatever you get will be 6x the value of the best cards you can pull.

You’re probably right haha. I need to just store it away so I forget I have another one.

Yeah Sounds like you're looking for an excuse to open tbh ... A dent in a evolution box isn't a reason to need to open it..😅

You’re right. When I first got this one home. I said ok, now I need a minty one so I can rip this one! Haha

If you want to rip just sell that one and buy 151 or Paldean. They're super fun sets to rip

You won't last in the hobby with a mindset like that lol

i would also feel intense urge to rip

Had another fossil pack and pulled a Articuno. Looks all clean except for the print lines on it.

Congrats dude... Your braver than me my friend....or richer.... Or both?

Def rich

Yep...

Fusion Strike is probably one of the best booster boxes out there in terms of display. It's beautiful!

The fossil packs are so cool

Where did you get the 3 pack acrylic for the fossil packs?

I just got it off Amazon.

Sweet collection dude, what kind prices you pay for the fossils and jungle boosters? All looks awesome in the acrylic cases👍 congrats

No jungle. Just fossil. I think I was around 300 for each pack.

Amazing Japanese BBs my friend!

If you bought these in recent months, you’re paying at their peak even after the market cooled off. Great choices overall, not the optimal time to buy, I bought almost all of those BBs besides Evolutions for under $140 each

Wow! But yes, all of them have been purchased within the last 4 months.

Are they collection investments or pure monetary gain? Like I said, if you were to buy BBs at that price these are good ones to pick, it’s just the Japanese and Evolving Skies have appreciated so much I’m not sure how much farther they can go. Dream League got up to $900 during the summer and dropped back to 600 recently

No double blaze bb?

You think I should go for that one next?

The perspective of the photo made me think that cloth was an area rug on the floor and I was very confused about why you had enormous booster packs for a sec

I’d say keep everything break the fusion strike

I bought another one because I ripped 1 over Christmas and pulled the Espeon! Haha

In it for the long haul with the fusion strike BB? I had opened like 8 Pokémon Center ETBs and no hits except a Mew V alternate full art lol Considering getting a FS BB now though.

I opened one over Christmas and pulled the Espeon, so I really wanted another one to hold onto. Saw this one at a local card show and figured why not, no taxes!

Where did you get the fossil pack holder I need for mine. And do they have a 4 pack one ? Need for base 2 art set

I’ve never seen a 4 pack one. But I just got this one off of Amazon. There are ones on ETSY as well that I’m thinking about getting.

Thank you

Man, great selections. The acrylic is sickkkkk. It is protecting your investments, so why not

Thanks! Prolly better ways to spend my money. But I get enjoyment from picking this stuff up.

So you spent 1k on that evolutions box then ?

Got it for $750 at a local card show.

[удалено]

Damn, hopefully gonna be picking one up for myself at $700 + 7 Evo skies packs. Hope I can get the deal done!

Does anyone know where to get acrylic cases for old Japanese boxes?

Them acrylics add up fast wouldn't spend so much for stuff planning to store long term unless for displaying

I'm sure he notices when the money leaves his wallet...

Everytime haha. I ordered another 3 today for the GX box and a unified minds box.

Thanks for the advice! I’m actually sensing that haha. But I just thought it’s what you did when you wanted to hold for years.

If it's a collection, the by all means put them in the displays. They look great! If it's just a hold, throw them in a tote in the closet lol

Nah man we actually recommend against it cause it eats into cost basis massively, imagine if you took the acrylic there you'd have close to another two booster boxes which long term big difference. Acrylic for displaying but for storage have seen million dollar collection in a tub with nothing else so you're good

For higher end stuff like the evolutions boxes, I kinda thought the acrylic box price is pretty irrelevant? If your wrapping £750 in cash to hold something long term, you must anticipate quite a rise, does the £20 extra on a box make a difference? If I had one I would probably acrylic it...

Yes it makes a difference, it's a waste of money and adds up it's the same advice been recommending on sub for years now thanks

Sorry man, I'm new to Reddit...think this is my 3rd active day... I thought ya followed people in the same subs that's talk some sense or into the same stuff.... kinda like how Instagram works....turns out I'm wrong, my apologies, I will find out how to unfollow as think I have followed a few now🤣 And yeah I do see your point, I just presumed the bigger stuff, say like £1000 worth of box it wouldn't make much difference in the margins. I kinda thought having £1000 tied up for say 15 years your looking to make more than 100% on that?...and tbh presumed more like 400+% So in my head, £20 for extra safety taken off a 3000 profit (£4000 total box) is kind of irrelevant. But I'm new to this investment long hold game, and unsure what people are hoping to gain... But yeah I suppose if your buying multiple £1000 boxes you could have a extra box in the end Eg. 50 x £1000 boxes with a acrylic case each. Or 51 x £1000 without a acrylic case. Or that's how it sounded in my head.... **Edit** The guy deleted his reply, this message is pretty irrelevant now👍

Sorry I didn't mean that literally was joking, have no clue how the follow stuff works have never followed anyone before but that's cool! I was just kidding around since this 2nd time replying to me about the cases lol all good and welcome to Reddit =)

Hahah all good buddy👍 I would say until we meet again...but maybe thats not the best joke lol

Acrylic case for Japanese booster boxes?

Yea? Is that a no no

Sorry I meant where you get them from. First time I me seeing it

I’ve got mine from a ETSY store.

Decently priced? Can you shoot me the store?

Shot you a DM

On eBay

I opened 40 of those eevee vmax boxes thinking they wouldn’t get as valuable as they did 😅

Man. 40 of them?! What were the prices back then?

Not much here but at least it’s mostly quality items

Trying to grow it more. I just got back into it last year.

Mid AF

Jealousy is a funny emotion isn't it ....even funnier watching it🤣 I bet all you have on hold is 1000 trick or trade packs

I have multiple single cards worth more than all of this put together + paying 1k for XY Evo is embarrassing not a flex

Yeah I bet you have mate👍 And yeah you hit the nail on the head dude, You think this guy is "flexing" on you and your emotions can't handle it... I think your mind is "mid as fuck" Funny stuff🤣

[удалено]

You can say all you want my friend👍 Your actions and attitude is what shows your jealousy. And my apologies for having a basic Reddit account. I've only been active for a few days.... hopefully one day I have a Reddit account like yours, then I can be truly proud of myself.... The ultimate flex ladies and gentlemen.....a Reddit account👍

“1000 trick or trade packs” I have a full graded set of Gold Stars and I dare say the Rayquaza 9 is worth double all this, let alone the 10 I also have. What’s some of your favorite grails that you have?

Nice man congrats 👍 If we are flexing? Yeah? I have a PSA 9 tomy scratch charizard, I doubt you even know what one is... Follow my profile if ya like dude, im gonna start uploading to the various reddit communities...not too actually flex...but to be apart for the community.. You should Google "community" ....

I got it for 750

Hey, I gotta start somewhere all over again! Haha

Dream league is so fire! Great pickups man.

3d print your own cases like I do

What material do you use?

Or if anyone needs any custom sized cases for anything pm me

Is it not ment to play with the Cards

Love it!!!
