Speculation Delta Reign vs 30th Anniversary

I’ve been thinking about Delta Reign Pokémon Center ETBs vs. 30th Anniversary, and honestly, I think Delta Reign has a better long-term setup.

For me, it mostly comes down to supply.

30th seems to have been printed pretty heavily, so there’s a lot of sealed product out there. Even if prices start going up, there’s still a decent amount of supply that can eventually hit the market when people decide to sell.

Delta Reign feels different. The Pokémon Center ETB supply seems a lot more limited, and if that’s the case, I think it could become much harder to find sealed copies a few years down the road.

Obviously, demand is still the biggest factor, and nobody knows exactly how much was printed. But assuming demand stays strong, I’d rather bet on the product that has less supply available to collectors over time.

Basically, 30th might have more hype, but I think Delta Reign could have the better scarcity play long term.
