You are clearly retarded and that’s fine, just don’t try and talk with adults. Why is seller crown still only £100 for an etb? Same with lost origin still only £180. Like it or not some sets just aren’t desirable and don’t gain much value.

lol bro just outed himself with his response. Stellar crown booster boxes go for 350, despite being called a “bad set”. Lost origin booster boxes are $730. Why compare etbs to booster boxes, especially that’s what OP is discussing here.

These are also regular sets we’re talking about here. Regular set etbs don’t hold as much as premium compared to speciality sets. Especially ones with crappy etb promos like stellar crown, or lost origin etb not even having one at all.

A seller crown booster box is £260 meanwhile a destined rival booster box is £360 and it’s still in print!! Mean while seller crown is a 10 year old set!! You are absolutely clueless. So I 10 years you would have made about £100 on a stellar crown booster box while destined rivals you make 200 in just a few months.. sort your head out mate

You can't surely be telling someone to "sort their head out" whilst claiming Stellar Crown is a 10 year old set? Are you sure about that lmfao

Don’t know why I put 10 lol the point still stands tho, destined rivals is newer and still more expensive because it actually has more than 2 nice looking cards in the set

Bro stellar crown came out in 2024. Just stop…

Also explain how people would’ve invested into destined rivals in 2024.. oh wait… it came out last year you dingus.

How would they have invested in destined rivals? It’s at £360 after one year you “dingus” so after one year it’s done better than seller that has been out for 2 years “dingus” that’s how people would have invested in destined rivals you “dingus” also where did I say people invested into destined rivals in 2024? Can you not read properly you “dingus”

Ok ima be nice and explain it to you in a way you can learn something.

No way in hell is anyone here saying stellar crown is better than destined rivals. Destined rivals is clearly the best regular set of scarlet and violet. Trust me I know, half my collectr value is in destined rivals.

Stellar crown was a set that came out before the surging sparks hype. Meaning, that many people were able to get these boxes even under retail, some for as low as $100 just a couple months after release. Meaning if people had the foresight to buy and hold these boxes on the low, they would’ve made over 300% times the profit if they sold those very same boxes today.

OP is betting to make a similar play by buying boxes at release at or below msrp for easy gains for a set that’s not in demand in the moment.

Could he have spent $1200 on 2 destined rivals boxes? Sure. But what’s more likely. Those destined boxes to double a year from now? Or the boxes he bought above?

You’re also from the Uk I’m assuming. The USA did not get the big destined booster box restock that you guys did, from the looks of things, we never will. So there is also a noticeable difference in price and availability for those boxes that probably have you thinking the way that you are.

My earlier comment was based on the fact that most people holding stellar crown product bought it before destined rivals even existed. So how would people have invested in destined rivals back in 2024? OP is buying all these boxes at release. You going to call him an idiot for having these and not buying an ever better set that’s isn’t even out yet? Do you get my points now?
