👀 How to Spot a Real Grail

Not all high-priced Pops are created equal. Here’s what makes something grail-worthy:

• Limited Edition Count

• Convention Exclusivity

• Vaulted Status (No Longer in Production)

• Pop Culture Relevance (Movies, franchises, major anniversaries)

• Collector Sentiment (Sometimes hype = value)

🔍 Final Tip: Track, Don’t Panic-Buy

Just because something’s valuable doesn’t mean it’s unattainable. Watch price trends on eBay, Mercari, and Facebook groups. You’d be surprised how often grails resurface — especially around tax season or during big con months.
