The reprints. While it probably isn't much to matter for Hidden Fates, compared to CP or VV, the PSA10 of sv49 is at its all time lowest at 850 a peice. Dropping daily. The pop report has been trending up on that shiny bastard.
I'm lucky I Flipped the two I had quickly for a small profit right before reprints were confirmed. Had a feeling it would cause a market dive.
I understand Eevee may be a very popular character but so is Charizard and Pikachu and CP ETBs and VV ETBs are also at their lowest market value since release.
And even in busy and flipper crowded socal I managed to find both in retail stores, at MSRP. Not right at release, But eventually.
Also most the Gary Vee and Co, who joined in this past summer (like myself) have been flipping the cards to get back into basketball and football. Then it will be soccer to.
Other than the Charizard, which I will just buy as a single. I really would not mess with modern pokemon, especially on pre order.
Poke man card print machine go brrrrr
And there's nothing that will stop it.

Yeah, all this. TPC is not going to let the scalpers just soak up all the profits. If people will buy stuff off the shelves, they are going to keep printing. I'd rather be in Shining Fates and Hidden Fates long term than Champion's Path because the sets are just deeper in cool cards, but I wouldn't go buying tons of cases of Shining Fates at $950 expecting to make money.
I bought 3 ETBs just to be guaranteed to have a few to open at release. If I can get more at $60 or less from LGS, great - otherwise, screw it, I'll buy a few raw singles to grade for my PC and leave the rest alone.
