I’m changing my attention away from the value of Celestial Storm for the moment and onto some new sets I have been tracking. This time it’s Sun and Moon - Unbroken Bonds.

I started opening packs back in mid May 2019 and in my last post I was discussing a rather large run up that was occuring with my set. Well that seems to have been short lived as pretty soon after that everything started tanking pretty hard. As of the 15th October the value of the cards that I pulled from that booster were worth US$115.22 (AUD$170.02), and I paid AUD$139.95, so in that regard im ahead, if I were to be able to sell each card individually. At its peak the value was US$128.41 (AUD$189.48) about a 10% decrease from its high in September.
