Description: Is the Pokémon market entering a new "Savage" era? 📈 In Episode 3 of The Savage Poke Pod, we’re breaking down the massive headlines dominating the Pokémon TCG world this week—from record-breaking auctions at Goldin to the launch of the highly anticipated Ascended Heroes set.

First, we dive into the Goldin Auction madness. We discuss Logan Paul’s PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card (and that $10M rejection!), alongside the "Holy Trinity" of 1st Edition Base Set: the PSA 10 Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. Is the market for vintage Grails actually cooling down, or are we about to see new records?

Next, we look at the surprising resilience of Destined Rivals. Despite reprints and restocks, this set is on a tear. We analyze why collectors are holding long-term and what the "Team Rocket" nostalgia is doing for secondary market values. 🚀

In this episode:

• The Goldin Auction Deep Dive: Logan Paul’s Illustrator, 1st Edition Base Set Booster Boxes, and the PSA 10 Big Three.

• Destined Rivals Market Watch: Why this set is "unphased" by restocks and our long-term price predictions.

• Ascended Heroes Release Day: We track the pricing for sealed ETBs and chase singles on the eve of the official launch.

• Birthday Pack Rip: A special birthday opening for Kota! Did we pull the "Savage" hit?

• The Vending Tangent: Our unfiltered thoughts on the current state of Pokémon vending and card accessibility.
