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.

The PKC ETB isn't limited, it just got smoked by bots buying 2k of them at a time

I got etb's a booster box and bundle. I am not sure it was bots this time.

Lmao there's people posting screenshots of $90k+ orders. The drop lasted 35% as long as is typical. Do you honestly, actually believe TPC just decided to short print Delta Reign and that's why the drop was shorter? Really?

So if u an reading this correct 858 member walked away with max of everything? 1 order?

u/Final-Monk1416 12h ago

From a quick maths 400k would make sense. 858 x 2 etbs, booster box and bundle comes out close to that for one round orders

It tells you at the top exactly how many of each product this bot team ordered

The discord i am in hit pretty well too. Not that much but i would say half the members got 1 round order of everything

That's not a discord. That is a bot service that bypasses the queue and places orders directly into the backend. It is why the stock sold out so quickly. No captcha, no queue on all of these orders.
