The Death of Investing In English Weiss Schwarz! A Look Back at all the Products for 2023. 

Yeah buying after release during the dip is a good way to maximize profit. Not something people had a chance of doing in the past when sets sold out in the first weekend.

it is a nice plan unless people stop over ordering. that is a good lesson to learn from this.

the english exclusives have been the most oversaturated. they pull in such a vast amount of new people that the supply is pretty amazing. avatar seems to be the biggest. rwby did well but as u have saw just not enough since this was during the boom period.

yep weiss has a lot of poitives and can be disasterous if someone goes all in on one set.cost basis really matters.

definitely good reasons for the jp side. i dont like jp's resaleability if a english version comes out with signs like azur lane though.

@@BigBAnimeTCG Oh yeah, I'd still definitely prefer English signed but they usually don't confirm sigs until after pre-order dates 😥

that i need to go back and check. i thought they tell u right away if they are nonsigned. when they dont then they are signed.

@@BigBAnimeTCG I think they're better at it now, but I definitely got burned by Bunny girl and Saekano

@@Pat-Tea oh that sucks :(

same

i like the thought but that wouldnt work. that was a different period of time: before covid and after. the print sizes were different and interest in anime grew.

yes. when considering set to set vs blindly buying a set, anyone can be successful at weiss investing. they would still need a proper investment thesis and exit strategy.

sorry for the late reply. rares and below i know some people just put up bulk lots on the fb weiss schwarz groups or on ebay. i would just make sure the rare isnt worth a ton. some uncommons from other sets can be worth a bit. with srs, i have seen people do a bulk on those as well. however i see them more commonly sold singly.

depends on what kind of cards you are buying. the general thing we see is the higher rarity cards are more expensive than the jp ones. there are always exceptions but u can always check jp prices and availability compared to english. some people like getting jp since it is cheaper in price. the best part of collections is there are no wrong answers. if u like the jp cards for a collection, go for it. they may sell lower in price and resale may be harder but if u never plan to sell it doesn't matter then. the base rarity cards may be more expensive or less depending on set. if u play want to play and the store only allows eng then it would be better to get eng. if u have more details or questions to add on feel free.

so youre saying i got a shot a band uniform kaguya in 2030 for the same cheap prices. that was my attempt at a joke but yes some of these will be like that a good while. bushi really put out some not good sets this year.

that generally makes sense but there have been some that have done quite well. it is nice to have cheaper singles

nice! those are definitely lovely cards! i know some have been trying to sell the jp ones so hopefully u got a nice deal on those.

they really went for quantity and not quality. they really tried to capitalize on the boom.

@@BigBAnimeTCG i noticed you didn't mention Damachi which is one of the biggest Ips this year, i made vaule on that for sure on the sealed cases

@@HarvestLYlee that was a 2022 set. good u made out on it.

+ the IPs of 2023 have been not so great and people bought them without thinking about it.

quints always seems to rebound thankfully due to its playability and collectibility. that dip was shortlived on those rrs.

cards are showing up everywhere and pretty much in line with jp. i havent looked at them all yet though. i gurss it may take a little bit to see if some get discounted due to different regions.

for now there is. some sellers might change to order just what was preordered. hololive will be fun! gl on the case!

that it does lol

ty!

100% on the after release cases. rght now that seems like a strategy but eventually it should not work as seller cut back on orders. when it comes to boxes vs cases, it really is how much spending power people have and the willingness to gamble.

I've seen clips of Nene (Hololive) opening boosters and had no idea what they were, but they looked cool. Realized recently it's a card game and that there's an English version. Picked up a couple boxes (not cases). Am I crazy for planning to enjoy it for what it is (a card game with characters I like)?

@@Dai10zin My first weiss cards were just from a Madoka trial deck cause i wanted cheap Madoka merch, looked at the game and saw the clock zone and phase and thought "that sounds stupid" and didn't bother to learn at the time, lmao. Then Hololive came along and now not only have I learned the game, I have like, 16 decks?! a bunch are just hololive brews, but I even have two constructed AOT decks in there, and its a decently fun game! Not exactly perfect when taking damage is a roll of the dice, even if you compress your deck well, which can be frustrating, but its a neat game! and thats important, its A GAAAAAMMEE

@Dai10zin welcome! and no you are not. that is probably 99% of people get into weiss. gl on the boxes!

yep. other coniderations would be quantity, price, and if excess supply will actually be available.

are u talking about dead packs or live ones

i like the thought but it depends on the reason for the price drop. some sets dont get opened and once the cards are gone someone will have to open boxes and gacha it. unless youre saying you like the low box prices since u will be opening it.

@@BigBAnimeTCG I'll be opening the boxing so low prices are good in my favor. To have fun opening packs and collecting is what I find enjoyable in some products, some stuff I like holding on to sealed for later and some things I like to just open for the enjoyment. Like pokemon stuff I like to keep sealed depending on the products cause they can hold there vaule over time the weiss is hard to find not everyone can get there hands on it easily and I don't like the whole I'll by a case find the ssr and sell the rest of the boxs cause you found your 1000 dollar card it's not random there set up like that, and that screws up the market and people trusting to buy products in my opinion online. Its all fucked up and not random like other tcg products for the most part and unfair to the people who cNt afford 1000 bucks . People buy a case and know I'll probably find that signature card and sell rest of boxs that are trash. Don't like it. They need to find better way I think when it comes to it as well. 🤷‍♂️ either way I'd rather buy low and open them it's not for long term enless it's a good gross selling anime. Market is down right now so nows a good time to buy if you wanna hold on to stuff, take advantage.

sorry i never got an alert to this. i think the alerts dont happen if the comment is really long. weiss has the dead box problem and it has been "known" for awhile. i only ever started doing my videos with this being one of my main focuses. every time i did talk about changing it, i was met with people wouldnt want that cause they want the guaranteed rates. if brought up again, u will still see people saying that. really the only hope u have is actually just trusting people or if it is old enough, not thinking it is something to open. sadly until enough people complain about it, this wont change.

that isnt the main idea. ill take about this in the future.

Depends on the set. It's not bad but the price is the key unless it's bunko sets

@@hieinh exactly

i just saw some comments didnt appear in my feed or not replied to. this one actually got filtered since you wrote xxx. weiss schwarz has always been different due to the ips involved. pokemon is just pokemon and until recently for the most part mtg has been mtg. it has been an ok investment as long as the person considered the ip vs blindly buying all the 2023 sets and attempting to sell them. part of the point of the video was the terrible sets we got this year from a IP and meta strength viewpoint. we all make our purchases differently. i know you see the money as spent and you are just generalizing without saying price points and quantities. using the generics provided, i dont think you would call what you are doing investing. to me i would say a collector who is willing to sell if the opportunity presents itself. investing to me is making educated purchases at specific price points and quantities with a clear sense of potential growth and exit strategies. i think weiss still has that ability. i think people havent quite thought it completely through.

Schrödinger's cards.

@@Dai10zin hahaha yes that’s it 😂

it is whatever people want it to be irregardless of another's wants, hopes, or desires.

poor Revue Starlight 😭

are u talking about base rarity cards or higher? investor/collector side made base rarity cheaper. then u have what happened to nazarick set 1 cards. was that players, collectors, or investors?

likely but not always. safer to always think nothing is in it.

Exactly why I don't like how they do their rates to pull . It's almost set where they want you to buy a case. Fucked up. Not everyone has a 1000 bucks laying around to spend on a case. Make it truly random so you can buy boxs knowing you have a fair chance

that is always the concern but some re legit cheap boxes.

lol

Yep, I've finally realized this. No more pre-ordering from me even for the most popular sets that I try and focus on. Chainsaw Man will be the next set I buy a case of after release.

that makes sense. the only other consideration is if there will ever be the day when people give up and the cases at a discount wont be available.

🙀

Everyone knows the people taking losses on tcg player boxes are selling dead boxes.

modern boxes are pretty weak ip and meta wise for 2023 so far. i also know for sure some of those cheap boxes arent dead.

lol! hopefully u get some more choclatey waifus in releases in the future. ya some of those dead games got some nice art. harder to find but that is part of collecting.

@BigBAnimeTCG I hope so but I got to give it to pokemon cause they got 3 new ones I gotta get

theyre really working the ladies lately. i always wondered if this will gateway people into anime waifus like weiss

on the english side totally agree
