Pokémon 30th cards crash scalpers' market after generous pull rates

Generous pull rates collapse resale market, devastate speculators

2 Sep 21 · 2d ago · 1 article · 1 post · 2 sources · development 2 of 3

The set's unexpectedly high pull rates for chase cards flooded the market. Future Mew and Mewtwo, predicted to fetch $3,000 each, dropped to under $100. The Special Illustration Rare Mew ex (highest-priced card) settled at $177—a fraction of historical chase card prices. Scalpers who bought pre-release inventory at inflated prices faced massive losses.

“The new set, released last week, has pull-rates so generous that the resale market is absolutely flooded with what were expected to be the most expensive chase cards, and as a result the prices continue to plummet.”
