Are Pre-Platinum cards still worth buying?

I heard a lot of speculation that the rotation will be Platinum-on. So I want some cards but I don't know if they will be unusable for the new year. Is it worth it?
 
It's at least a year away and were not even sure if all the sets are rotated. If you even want to be good you have to have cards from DP-SF.
 
When exactly is it? If you don't mind...
I also realized that same thing when I was making my current Deck but I heard about the rotation and got fearful. =T
 
the announcement of what will be rotated is made about a month or so before worlds...the actual rotation happens when the new season begins, which is technically Sept. 1st
 
It's probably not worth buying a bunch of pre-platinum packs, but singles yes. If you want to do well this year you will most likely still need some pre-platinum cards.

I plan to buy single not pre-plat packs, btw.
I just want to have a clear understanding before I start buying some singles.
Pre-Platinum cards are still usable/good until next year, September 1, after worlds and then the roatation happens where nobody as of now, knows what will be rotated. If this is correct just acknowledge it and that would answer my questions =).
 
hmm, let's think:

-Claydol
-Uxie
-Uxie Lv. X
-Azelf
-Azelf Lv. X
-Mesprit
-Mesprit Lv. X
-Machamp
-Machamp Lv. X
-T-Tar
-Darkrai Lv. X
-Dark Palm Dusknoir.

I think that sums it all up.

agreed

Please elaborate more on your post. It is fine to agree with another member, as long as your provide your own opinion and find other ways to contribute to the discussion. ~DRK176
 
It's still good to by older cards if you get them cheap. Never buy anything pre-GE though. The frmat will most likely be PT-on since they wouldn't let champ off the hook. You have over a year to use them, so it's not a total loss buying pre-PT cards,

Even more, that sums about only a 4th of it up, but they're the main valuable cards.

Since when are those noteworthy cards? I can't even get $5 for a Mesprit, Azelf, or Darkrai.

Gengar!!! Weavile SW! Gardevoir SW! Gallade SW! Call Energy!

There's a lot of good pre-PT stuff.
 
Claydol and Uxie are going to be given away as League Promos as well as Roseanne's and Bebe's. That drastically reduces a staple card list that you need to buy.

dmaster out.
