if anyone needs a perspective on this item, I offer this from my previous post from the Mega Zygarde box deal thread:
the only reason this box is available is the demand for it is low. It is part of a trio of recent sets (Chaos Rising, Pitch Black, and Perfect Order) that are the three least-liked sets in years that, for the most part, don't have desirable chase cards. for that reason, this box is good for those who just want to rip some packs at MSRP and don't really care that much about getting specific chase cards. you will have a much, much harder time finding products from more popular sets, so if you just want to scratch the pack ripping itch at MSRP, this is fine, just keep your expectations in check. Maybe your kids won't care either that it's not a very popular set and they'll have fun opening the packs anyway (unless they watch youtube or instagram videos of people opening packs, then they'll probably have learned a preference). this set does at least have Greninja which is moderately popular.
for Pokemon card investing purposes, like all sets, this will eventually be worth more than it's worth today despite its unpopularity particularly when it goes out of print (still a year or two away probably?), but it will likely never grow in value at the rate some of the other recent sets will because the chase cards are just not popular and it doesn't contain possible God Packs. Personally, I would NOT waste the space in my house for 5-15 years waiting for this set to gain a respectable amount of value, unless you are happy to just acquire it because it's more easily available and you aren't willing to hunt down the more-popular, harder-to-find sets at MSRP and want to start your investing journey somewhere.
I've seen this exact point be brought up each year for the past 6 years or so and it fails to materialize. Even the most mundane sets are going up in value after 2-3 years. Shrouded Fable is a great example of general concensus being wrong at the time and it also beat the snot out of the SP 500.
Part of me hopes you're right and this dies down but I doubt it.
This is purely because of speculation. Before 2019 I was able to get the legendary collection cards for under $50 and got ALL of the costume pikachus for under $100.
Yes, they have beat the S&P recently but no one wanted these cards a decade ago. This growth isn't sustainable because it's not natural.
I grew up as a 90s kid and still love the game, but I hate what's happened to it and the fact that I have to beat scalpers to get my son some cards to rip.

Thanks because I got the sneaking suspicion that these last sets just aren't that popular but I really think it might have also to do with the fact that people just have fatigue about pokémon cards. It happens every few years.

Demand for pokemon cards remains high, but these particular sets just aren't very exciting. Rather than continue spending money on these sets, they'd rather wait and spend their money on the 30th anniversary set which is releasing in a few weeks. Demand for that will, at least at the beginning, be enormous, and may die down a bit after 6 months, but the speculators/investors will be buying as much of it as they can. Anniversary sets always do well over time.
FWIW, I grabbed a bunch of the less desirable ETBs 3-4 years ago and they're all "worth" 3-4x MSRP now. They'll probably sit there in storage for another few years because I'm too lazy to actually ever sell them.
Things going out of print will always help the value. These will definitely grow in value in the future, collectors and investors right now would just rather focus their money on the 30th anniversary stuff coming soon. I like Chaos Rising the most out of these three "lower tier" sets, and it'll probably do well in a few years after it's out of print. But it won't do as well as ascended, destined, black bolt/white flare, mega evolution, 30th, delta reign, etc.
I buy these for the nephews and they say to skip this ETB for some reason. I just follow orders, I haven't collected Pokemon in 25 years and I'm happy holding on to my youth collection.

The Pokemon Center ETBs have 2 additional packs and an extra promo at an MSRP of $59.99.
