Are $600 UPC and $1,000 Luffy The New Normal | Ep #77 | Card Lounge

GameStop is pre-ordering the Pokemon 30th anniversary UPC at $600, triple MSRP, and the ETB at 3-4x retail. Jake and Rob break down whether any of it is worth it: the new ETB configuration with only nine packs and five cards each, the 128-card main set plus 30 secret rares, and why the booster bundle is the best pack-to-cost ratio in the entire product lineup. They also cover the One Piece x LA Dodgers batting Luffy promo hitting $1,000, the Round One collab sellout, the upcoming Naruto TCG, and the crash vs. correction debate: why a 20-30% pullback in Pokemon prices is normal market behavior, not a crash, and what an actual crash looks like (Metazoo). Plus Lorcana tag teams and whether collabs are diluting promo card value.Check out the Collectr App for all your collecting tracking needs! https://app.getcollectr.com/
