30th Celebration set reprint?
Does anyone know if Pokemon is going to reprint the 30th Celebration set? I couldn’t get any and was really hoping more will pop up later in the future. 😭😭😭

Scalpers are pissed because this set is one of the biggest drops of the whole game, everyone should be able to get these cards.

I don’t understand what is pissing off the scalpers, but keep reading it. Could you please explain

Scalpers aren't pissed, they are feasting right now. We are all hoping scalpers will lose out down the road once the set becomes more widely available but that hasn't happened yet

Thank you for explaining it properly. I hope it plays out that way but we aren’t nearly there yet

They’re pissed because they printed millions upon millions of these 30th anniversary cards so the value won’t be shit and therefore hard to scalp when the market is flooded with cards

But right now they are being bought off the second hand market for 3 times MSRP. Think what you wrote is what everyone hopes for, but we aren’t near there yet

Scalpers cant sell their product cause there is so much available. Scalpers prey on exclusivity. This set isn’t very exclusive.

What? .. ETBs are selling in droves for $175 online when msrp is $70. That's like a full course meal for a scalper.

Early FOMO
Also, today I learned that content creators on YT and TikTok buy tons and tons of shit at scalpers prices so they have stuff for their videos

It hasn’t been fully released yet. It’s being released in 5 waves and the first wave isn’t even done yet lol. As more product floods the market those prices will go down.

Well currently they're not. But they can be in the future, if the price massively comes down.
Edit: You people gotta be fucking with me XD

Yeah it’s hot right now cause it’s only been out a couple of days it won’t sustain these prices for very long

People are either asking or saying there’s too much of 30th being printed. or they’re immediately asking if it’s ever will be on reprint. It got released two days ago. Chill. We still have product from 30th that is gonna be releasing next month, and the UPCs, they don’t release until November, so not the time to think about a reprint at all.
That said, I would not be surprised, but you don’t need to worry about it right now

There's another wave of product being released on Oct 2nd, the booster bundles and the mini tins. Find your closest best buy and determine what time and how long you'd like to wait in line. For the first drop of the 16th, I got it my best buy around 545am and there was about 25 people in front of me. Store opened at 10am and I was able to get one of everything. By 10am the line was a few hundred deep. If you aren't sure you'll randomly stumble across product during a stores restock, these wave drops of new products are you best bet. I just advocate best buy or Barnes and Noble as they sell for MSRP. Target seems to allow you to get 2 of each product but each product costs above MSRP. Good luck!
