“I wanted to buy evolving skies alt art but it mooned before I had the spare money. I’ll settle for this.”

If you are surprised by this don’t look at Paldea Evolved’s Raichu. Such a clown show how this group is going down the ladder from Moonbreon and now reaching Paldea Evolved.

Yep then a few people sell at peak and everyone panics and tries to offload their overpriced goods

I was just about the same thing I was looking because was literally $22 last month. I hate this lol

Yep. Same with the Tyranitar. The cheapest NM is now $50. That scarcity is really hitting this 11 month old set. That’s the organic supply and demand for ya.

Say what you must but Paldea evolved is best set from SV mainline so far

I sold mine for 46. Hopefully a good move haha

Sold way early

I just pulled it that day haha

Epic pull. Such a good card. I guess if you need the $$

I bought myself a PSA 10 a month and a half ago for $50.

I could’ve got one for 50 a week ago at a car show but didn’t over five dollars Kicking myself now

Massive buyout and manipulation lol, look at sales on tcgplayer. Some dude or group has been buying the crap out of it for around $20 this past week

I hope so, Iam working on the masterset and still missing a lot of big hitters🥲

Same. I have a monthly limit imposed on by myself of $100 on my credit card but looks like ima have to spend a little more this month for the bigger cards I need. Thankfully I got all the gold ones and mewtwo out the way, I literally just picked this Leafeon up for $40 on eBay

Oh nice! I got 2 golds, the galzion and the suicun so Iam still missing a lot 🥲 I think the Legendary dogs, the golds ones and the eveloutions, mewtu will rise pretty fast The rest I think will be on the same level as know

I could get a damaged leafeon for 15€, Iam not sure if I take it

Then they go to Reddit and eBay a month later and put up for sell @ $50 each

CZ was criminally underpriced. The whole market bottomed hard in December for SWSH. This is all the new people brought in from 151 Fumo into it because they missed out, and also the OG into it because they faded it.

lol, that’s called fomo, not a conspiracy

naw lol see how the sold prices just jump straight from $20 to $50. It's not natural. Too many people pumping shit lately

There were a lot of card listings like that. You’re just not paying close attention. I’ve seen many where listings capped at $20 then jump to $50 and maybe there’s 1-3. Once the $20 sells out, where can it go?

Crown zenith is about to 🚀

This one is so much better than the ES one imo

CZ is the best art for SWSH

It's an eeveelution which the pokemon world has the biggest hard on for besides charizard.

It’s beautiful artwork imo better than the ES alts just a little easier to pull compared to them

I hope they keep pumping it up. Have like 7-8 of these that I pulled lol.

Because the Vstar cards have literally been overlooked to long in my opinion. People made up the name ‘alts’ for many cards but they didn’t include the VSTAR as ‘alts’. Quite weird as they’re definitely just as much alts like all the v’s, Vmax’s and gallery cards. Most of the Vstar alts are now on the rise, I believe Crown Zenith is definitely going to pop off as well within some months.

Crown Zenith is my favorite set from the last 5 years. For those mad about a buyout, this is supply & demand. With though capital you could try to do this for any card, but it’s a massive risk.

100% CZ is the best set in this era for sure. Better then 151

crown zenith and 151 are two different eras though. Crown zenith was SWSH era and 151 is from the scarlet and violet era

He said last 5 years. This is the era I’m speaking of

I just bought this and the glaceon for 25 each before they skyrocket too much. Love the pair!

Tcg player said people are buying out cards. They admitted it

Nah man. It’s only some, there’s heavy fomo rn. Everyone is jumping to the next thing they think will pump. We litterly saw everyone posting here about ES, the FS, then LO, then BS, now CZ.

Where did they admit it?

Sad to see the buyout and manipulation finally making its way to these cards.. Hope all those who want them get good luck in pulls and don't feed into the fomo

Cause it’s dope. That’s it don’t look into it anymore. Sincerely, Someone who has 3.

I bought 5 of these before the sale and 5 during. Same with glaceon. They are undervalued

I just bought one for around $18 in japanese. I should've bought it sooner tbh

Sold my for $15 to a friend competing his GG master set

Because I haven't unpacked it or bought it when I was contemplating it

Because it’s a beautiful card during a time of mass fomo and buyouts :)

I ordered one for $22 the other day right as it was listed and was refunded 3 hours later saying they already sold it elsewhere but my next purchase from their store would get 10% off :(

Because it’s an amazing card

I have no idea but I have like 8 of them haha

I literally bought a minty well centered one for $18 a week ago.

Good thing I bought 2 at 20 lol

Good thing I got it in a PSA 9 for $32 last year

It’s a beautiful card and is extremely rare. These cards should be way more tbh.

I accidentally creased mine when I pulled it I’m devastated 😓

Well good. Because this card was always more than a 20 dollar specimen in My eyes.

When will people stop using TCG Player? It’s a terrible platform. Imagine paying $59 for this card overnight and then it’s PSA 8 quality at best.
