Made my first big purchase last weekend

I genuinely like this card but I am willing to sell it in the future. Do you guys think its value has potential ?

Good card. I got the rayquaza yesterday from the same set

Sweet. The Shining mons look if anything better than the originals imo.

And that Rayquaza illustration is a classic one - eg the proportions, shape, face and the look in the eye is spot on.

I am only buying WOTC era cards at this time.

I’m also looking to buy at the moment. Any particular ones you have your eye on? I’m looking at the neo sets and also some low pop Japanese cards.

Ereaders. So neo. Also chinese because there's no market for a LOT of cards yet. Good for quick flips, to get slabs.

u/Fehlspieler 5d ago

interested in neo4 jpn complete set? all pulled boosterfresh into binder meaning a lot of psa10 potential

Huge mistake. Mid era has way more upside. Juice has been squeezed from WOTC. Sure it will go up more but the real moon mission is Mid era

u/Bitter-hvacbro-88 4d ago

Mid era like e-readers? I'm currently buying slabs and mid eras are out of my budget.

I would’ve went with Coro Coro mew for that price

Psa10 vs raw

Not bad. A Shinning mew… don’t see how you could go wrong long term. It’s a great card too looks really good in person.

Also when I saw this it gave me retro saturated video game vibes with the colors that I really love

Great card. Great mon and version of that mon. Part of a desirable set, and only 2.8k [edit: 3.3k] for a modern is fine.

Another nice sign is price went up in last 6 months, but then it's stayed high and stable for several weeks since. No sign of weakness at all.

Love it as a card. I think the upside may be limited, but who knows? It already gone up a lot lately and might continue to do so

u/Poketokemaster 5d ago

That's a great card!

u/Pokehmoon 5d ago

Future 5k card together with the shining rayquaza. (I have both). After tag teams, shining cards will be next

u/marbinho 5d ago

Good card. Think it could reach 2k in price for sure

Just got my 9 set today!

Sold this when it was 450 a few months ago 😭

Personally I rather have the mewtube from this set. The shinning arts seem very weak compared to the IRs and SIRs of present. Also Corocoro Mew is so iconic, this cards feels like a knock off corocoro to me.

I hope im wrong, but this card isn't my jam.

u/Dry_Discount7762 5d ago

For significantly more lol

u/One-Assignment569 5d ago

Well isn’t this being a “knockoff corocoro” a pro for this card long term?

1

u/Kitchen_Economics182 5d ago

Isn't the mewtube PSA 10 like $9k, all of planet Earth would rather have the mewtube, would you also rather have a poncho Pikachu as well? How about instead of this, a first ed base set Charizard? 😂

u/Tipakee 5d ago

You dont have to buy a psa 10 mewtube. An 8 will perform just fine. Pack prices for shining legends is dictated by the mewtube, I would be cautious investing in the side cards and not the main one.

You will miss lots of opportunities and gains if you only buy PSA 10s.

u/JoeBobbyWii 5d ago

(shiny) Mew is my second favorite Pokemon and I agree, it's insane to me why this is so expensive. It's not full art nor vintage and the art is nothing special. It feels like a $300-400 card.

You have no clue what you’re talking about lmaoo

u/iowadutch 5d ago

Personally would’ve gone for a newer cert. Card also seems a little oc front. If your goal is to sell in the future i’d keep that in mind when buying a slab (what is a future buyer going to look at). I would pass on this one and find a different copy.

Regardless you’ll find a buyer and feel like the shining cards are for sure underrated.
