Pokémon 30th Elite Trainer Box is $89.99 on Amazon — open it or keep it sealed?
Deal news is saying the Pokémon 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box is way below market price at $89.99 on Amazon right now. I have never bought a sealed Pokémon product in my life but the 30th anniversary thing makes it feel special. Question for people who actually collect: at $90, is this a buy-to-open-and-have-fun thing, or a buy-and-keep-sealed thing? What is the actual play here for someone who just wants one nice box and is not trying to become a TCG investor?

- Open it. You are buying fun, not an investment.
Short version: at 90 bucks you are not buying an investment. Sealed holds value only if you keep it pristine for years and the 30th anniversary line actually appreciates, which is a gamble. You said you are not trying to be a TCG investor. So open it. You get the pulls, the sleeves, the dice, the actual experience. One rule though: set a hard cap. One box. Do not let one box turn into five boxes because a YouTube opening looked fun.
