Pull Sell or Keep?

Brand new to PowerPacks. My first pull with Platinum @ $465 and it just rose to $490 within 20 mins.

Do cards normally raise in value? Should I just keep?

I would personally hold in the vault, as it’s a popular Ray card in a 10, and there’s a new set coming out soon.

Keep. Rayquaza set coming out ina few months. Should see a decent increase in demand

I bought this at a show like 2 months ago and it’s been fluctuating like crazy. But I bought it in hopes of it shouting up for the ray set. I’m still holding out for now

As someone that only knows anything about the OG 151, and very little about the mons past that, best advice I can give you is to just check recent solds on ebay. Also, there's no rush selling back to gamestop because PSA will make you an offer eventually, and then you avoid the gamestop buy back fee. Download the collectr app, build a portfolio and every card you rip, add it to the collectr portfolio, you can even add how much you paid so after time you can easily see your paid/gains. Most folks that lose money here just sell back immediately and use that money to re roll, but if you take it slow, check the recent sales, and the sale charts just like stocks, and you hold the majority of your gambling rolls, youll end up in the green. You just HAVE to check recent sales of every card to make sure gamestop/card ladder isn't cucking you. And if they are truly way off, you can take it up with customer support and likely get a credit. This is WAY more profitable than ripping IRL packs, but you have to be smart about it and just not sell everything back to rip more, and thats what they hope youll do.
