I found the Pokemon 30th anniversary Elite Trainer Box !

It just not that easy to buy 30th anniversary Pokemon Trading Card Game ! I have been searching for it at every possible store selling Pokemon cards. 

I would say the demand for older series of ETB are incredibly low. It probably reserved for super elite Pokemon card collector.  If anyone could hoard the product, then you going to have a hard time selling the older version of ETB. Even if you found a buyer with a desire to buy let say 25TH anniversary Pokemon card, why would it buy from you and not from the thousands of ETB hoarder ? 

With the high price tag on older version of ETB which is according to some website, it should deter most of the Pokemon card collector unless he found the one Pokemon card collector with sizable financial means. 

Why would anyone not interested to buy the newly released Pokemon Elite Trainer Box and choose the older series of ETB with higher price tag in secondary market? I strongly believe they will always release a much better ETB to the market. Besides Pokemon Trading Card Game, There are One Piece, Riftbound, Lorcana. As for Pokemon Trading Card Game, there are so many other languages as well. I was personally suprised Pokemon 30th anniversary are available in Thailand and Indonesia languages

To date, Literally no one is rushing to get Chaos Rising series and Pitch Black series. It have been on the shelves with a little interest from the consumer. Most of the Pokemon card collectors would like to buy ascended heroes series and 30th anniversary series. However, no stores are able to deliver such huge demands for the ascended heroes and 30th anniversary series. 

One Pitch Black pack is RM21 which is considered quite expensive for a kids to possess. This will be a benchmark for you to buy any Pokemon cards anything higher should be considered overpriced. 

Just cant get enough of Pikachu !

Pokemon 30th anniversary pack is a satisfaction guaranteed products. Much like every pack of 30th anniversary come with one Pikachu card. There are like 30 Pikachu to be collected for your binder.

 Pitch Black 

How do we know the ETB is fake with sealed plastic ? 

Pokemon card collector should buy from trusted source (Pokemon Pop up Store Kuala Lumpur). It is the only way to uncover the truth. 

Are you sure there is fake ETB in the market ? 

In fact, most of the high-end products have been plagued by counterfeit issue. It just a matter of time they could replicate said products. What they could not replicate probably the digital code meant for Pokemon Trading Card Game Live inside the loose pack. 

Pokemon 30th anniversary Elite Trainer Box are selling so well that products supply could not keep up with product demand.  No visible seal mark at the back of the ETB. 

There is no seal mark at the top of the Pokemon Elite Trainer Box. 

This is the important part of the ETB to ensure authenticity of the Pokemon 30th Anniversary Elite Trainer Box. The seal mark is not reaching the top and there is a curve (to the right ) seal mark at the bottom.

The seal mark not reaching the top of the product. The shrink wrap line only visible on the left, right and bottom Elite Trainer Box. The shrink wrap line do not appear on the top, back and front of the product. 

This should be substantial for you to identify shrink wrapped Pokemon 30th anniversary Elite Trainer Box.  

Why some of the ETB shrink wrap has been removed ?

 It is probably a preventative measure by the store for potential scalper re-sell to the market. 

 

Unboxing 30th Anniversary Pokemon TCG Cards is just so fun. This is actually my first time collecting genuine Pokemon Cards. In fact, Pokemon cards is not something new. Back in old days, there were so many Pokemon cards available in the market and it not something limited edition. I bet no one was doing card trading back then. 

There is a huge demand on 30th Celebration Pokemon Trading Card Game. Although the product launch date is 16 September 2026, most of the products have been in a sold-out. You cant actually get it from Pokemon.com website. The price of Elite Trainer Box for a specific region such as in Singapore is SGD $90. Besides, one ETB in USA is priced at USD $60

Stock Market Malaysia March 27, 2020

Above picture describes Stock Market falls to its lowest akin to 2008 Stock market Crash. Same year Coronavirus Lockdown happened nationwide. The bear market lasted few month only.

Not the right guy to say Bursa Malaysia slowed down due to Covid-19 Pandemic simply because I am not a savvy and rich investor. Nobody could have predicted the Covid-19 Pandemic. As if nobody predicted the pandemic then surely no one predicted the crash in stock market. Besides, it make sense to say it slow down the economy and put everyone out of job. That day, it felt like the end of the world.

The author may have stumbled upon the rare opportunity to witness the "Dip" in the Stock Market. As someone that do not have any prior knowledge about stock market investment, this seem to be a window of opportunity to learn about the stock market right now. Author have been very passionate about the stock market and it could take us 10 years to have enough courage for the first step in this investment journey.

Stock Market Platform always put up this warning "90 percents of the Retail Investors might lose all their savings in the stock market". The warning send off many retail investors. This is the only truth in the stock market. You could still lose money in the bear market without proper guidance.

The risk of investing in Malaysia stock market may have been greatly reduced due to the crash. To actually "Buy the Dip" the stock market has to be in bear market.  Imagine once in your lifetime You could actually experience buying the undervalued stock. Would you still be hesitant ?  

But the risks are still there what if the stock market never recover to its former glory ? Stock market is never a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a secondary market may or may not reflect the company. Even a good company in PN17 or delisted on the Bursa Saham, the company can still survive. Yet, your capital investment may not survive.

Throughout the years author have learnt the stock market in Malaysia are not for the fainthearted. The perfect example were the glove and medical counters that used to be rising in the Bursa during that time is not performing well now after the end of pandemic. 

The incredible stock rally on the glove stock counters were phenomenon to see. Also during this period of time there are many self proclaimed investment gurus came out and trying to get you to buy certain stock counters. If it really good, why it need recommendation. Most gullible people will fall to this as these gurus honeypot you to their scheme. 

The hard lesson are most of the stock counters listed in the Bursa are meant for institutional investors with deep pocket. The one for the retail investors are just few and you could only get the sweet deal from the "dip". But the "dip" is like once in a blue moon. 

Some of the the blue chip counters in Bursa Malaysia were so resilient that even during Pandemic the stock entry price never drop too much. It is very sad case for retail investors.

The moral of the story is retail investor will lose money. Do not invest too much money and only invest the money you afford to lose it. Malaysia stock market is an eye-opening experience and meaningful knowledge !!

The biggest stock market crash was not in Malaysia. Perhaps, the biggest stock market crash happened in China stock market. Its real estate companies listed in China stock market never recover from bear market. One of the giant real estate company in China had gone delisted and some of them went penny stocks. 

Grab disrupted Taxi business offering exorbitant fares. Consumer are the biggest winner. Taxi market are now much more balanced without too much taxi on the road and too expensive for average people as consumer shifted to e-hailing as they always know e-hailing is for the good of next generation.

The paradigm shift did not encourage more taxi to use metered fare. Consumer felt cheated as Taxi quotes unrealistic fare price.

Without emergence of Grab, there will be more taxi on the road, more unsustainable fare quote, probably more Traumatized consumer and Sad Tourists. But with Grab, there will be competition for Uber, metered fare quote, job creation for food delivery and ride-hailing.

Despite all that, today we are not going to talk about Grab listed on NASDAQ in USA. Today, we are going to talk about Grab's first digital bank in Malaysia.

As i ponder, did the traditional banks have been earning too much profits ? In fact, they do earn lots of money and the best and brightest often wanted to secure a job in a bank. Having a Digital Bank in the market somehow make us less dependent on the "Too big to fail" organization. 

There are so much competition in this Digital Banks. Just to name a few, Aeon Bank, Boost Bank even the Touch N Go have some similarity. 

Never in my Life I have a Bank card with a Cash Back Feature. I just need to try it out in local store buying some body soap. 

Honestly, Grab as a company does not earn lots of profit based on their stock market performance in USA. Their brands and values however, bring enormous impact to other people lives.
