The Special 25th anniversary of Pokemon Cards was celebrated just under 3 short years ago with the release of Celebrations. This specialty Pokemon Card set was met with mixed reviews as it was much smaller and lacked a true chase that many Pokemon Card Fans were used to. Instead of the difficult Pokemon Card Pull Rates we were used to in the Sword and Shield Block, Celebrations featured easier pull rates with the likelihood of fulfilling a Pokemon Card Master Set much quicker than normal sets.
During it's release, Pokemon Card Collecting was at an all time high with a lot of focus being paid to the money side of things. The idea behind Pokemon Card Investing was sweeping the community with thoughts of Celebrations being a sure-fire hit. However, nearly 3 years later, the mass amount of Celebrations Pokemon Cards that were printed seems to have stymied the idea behind big returns on a Pokemon Card Investment. Many Pokemon Card Collectors have expressed regret regarding their investment. While money could have been made at a higher rate in something else, was Celebrations truly a poor investment? With the amount of stories these Pokemon Cards tell and the enjoyment coupled with the nostalgic feeling of opening Celebrations Booster Packs is it possible that Celebrations will be loved for a long time? Let's talk about it!

I love this set because it got me back into the hobby! I hate this set because it got me back into the hobby…😅
Same ! 😢😅
Same!
Absolutely love Celebrations. Don’t care if it appreciates or not, I collect what I like and won’t stop buying Celebrations. Off load it by all means.
I love celebrations. The little packs with nothing but holos. My first master set completed. Now onto CZ
I hope they make a similar set for the 30th in two years. Just something with a different pack configuration and a bunch of cool products.
Celebrations was so fun to open
Agreed 100%
First set I mastered, small set obviously but I’m new to the space and it is fantastic to see some of the stuff I had missed over the years.
Celebrations will always hold a special place in my heart.
I have a complete master set with every English promo, including the UPC promos, and including the McDonald’s set.
celebrations was my first master set after coming back in
So many of us either came back to Pokemon, or just got into Pokemon when Celebrations dropped. I don't know if that means it's a good investment. Nobody knows the answer.
Sometimes we forget the intent of Pokémon cards.
No they are to resell
If only they made it a bigger set imo.
Those 25th anniversary collector chests are the biggest sleepers because they come with 6 Celebrations packs and 2 additional regular set packs, so for $42, the 6 Celebrations packs inside alone are worth about the same as the entire chest, then there are 3 actually nice promos that are in vintage format. One of my favorite products for the price right now. It was awesome when they were $25 though lol
Loved those lunchboxes. The Amazon bundle was better still because it came with not only a lunchbox but also a Dragapult Prime box. The cherry on top was getting the jumbos for the lunchbox promos, if you like that sorta thing.
I Agree. even at release, celebration packs are more worth than the box itself, so most probably, worth it.
Was a great set! 2021 is arguably the best year for Pokémon cards. SF, BS, ES, FS and Celebrations... BTW, cool seeing you at the Majestic in Brookfield!
Got my sub today. I appreciate the honesty and transparency
This set holds a great place in my heart because I started collecting cards during the hype/start of celebrations set.
Great content DP! Keeping it relevant. This set got a lot of people back into the hobby because of exactly what you’re talking about. Well thought out and laid out for people to make some opinions of their own! 🎉
Is that shirt a souvenir from your recent Disney World visit? Pretty cool, man.
Celebrations... that was a fun set to rip. The only set I mastered from ripping packs because it's so small and had no reverses. It still wasn't easy, tho. It took me a ton of packs to do.
That said, it was fun to rip at MSRP but I personally wouldn't pay current secondary market prices just for that hit of nostalgia.
If you want to rip current sets in the future, buy them when they're widely available. Paying double, triple MSRP just to rip something you could've got way cheaper isn't too fun.
Good to kno ❤Appreciate the info
Celebrations made me start collect in pokemon cards, I am 42 yrs old …i watch all the pokemon movie from the very start until the most recent one, so celebrations has a special place in my heart…so i have keeped alot of sealed products…
I recently picked up the 25 card base set and stuck it in my binder. Love how the cards look.
Recently started revisiting older formats of the tcg and having a budget option for a rain dance Blastoise deck thanks to celebrations is great.
Love celebrations!
What's wild is I think most of us wanted to open it to feel the joy of pulling a WOTC card or other chase cards from years past. It took us back to those times.
I predict once rotation kicks out all SwSh well see another boost and yeah the 30th set (wild to type that).
Celebrations was fun even though it was small, I had bad luck with it took several etbs to not finish 😂
Celebrations is an amazing set. It's fun to open, and even though it's a smaller set, it is hard to get a master set. I was lucky enough to pull everything. That Lance's Charizard set I even saw at Walmart this year. There is still a chance you could find it if you search.
Instructions unclear; just bought 20k worth Buddy-Buddy Poffin singles
Celebrations is one of the only master sets I have. I plan on getting a lot of the cards from generations too. That radiant collection is beautiful 😍
I like celebrations as well. There was also that Gamestop exclusive box with Sylveon and Charizard combined.
I think if you look back to 1999 when pokemon really kicked off no one would expect it to be where it is now. Stuff like xy evolution and the 25th anniversary play to all the 90’s kids which is why people love it. That said I’d be curious if Pokemon will make sets in the future that will make current sets “vintage”. Imagine unbroken bonds being redone lol
Another great video Phanny. I'm still disappointed they did such a poor job of producing the most desired products like the UPC and the PC ETB.
Danny boyy i was waiting for you to post a video, this is off the subject i was selling at the flea market today some of my pokemon stuff and teenaged girl asked about steam seige cards wasn't expecting that 😅😅😅
Need another 151 style set for gen 2 called simply johto
Thanks Danny!
Now’s a good time to invest in this set.
Great content!
little bit over my budget to invest in bulk... but an interesting position overall. thank you
I still have some sealed Celebrations 25th anniversary set! I'm just happy to see growth
Love the celebrations set. Unfortunately, we did rip everything we bought. But I was able to master the complete set. All 25 classic, all 25 modern, & all the promos as well. Also combined with all normal & holo 2021 McDonald's 25th cards, it does make for a beautiful set. Now I just need to round up all the jumbo cards 😊
The UPC a better buy than an evolving skies booster box imo.
I love celebration. I am 2 card away from a master set, excluding the promo from the UPC.
❤
Love it!!
Would u recommend getting in on celebrations for the 250-300$ price range
I didn’t realize the msrp for some of these products were low. I mean if you bought at msrp, you doubled your money.
I loved this set, but it would have been nice if the set had like 30 cards more!
give it a couple more years
Love the tshirt man… Trinidad 🇹🇹 in da house!!!
Celebrations was too small of a set. It feels like you get the same cards in every pack aside from the rare hits
Hey Danny! You are such a humble king :) know that you are the smartest and most helpful pokemon TH-camr. I listen to your awesome pokemon advice every day 😊
You forgot the mini tins!
I love celebrations! Don’t care if I get any crap for it or not. It gets a lot of hate.
I love this set!!! I put a set of the Mcdonalds 25th Celebrations cards with the regular 50 card set!!😊😊😊
I really hope the new team rocket isn’t a short specialty set ,, , really hoping it’s a big main set
Celebrations is fun, but ive lost alot money having that fun 😅
Keep it sealed if you ask me
Nice try Danny, I'm not folding, I'm buying a mansion with my sealed collection
I got a steal when I picked up three of those collectors boxes from an eBay seller. He wrote in his listing description that he was open to offers, so I made an offer on all three and he accepted since it worked out for him shipping wise. He also said that although he had other offers, I was the only one to reach out politely and chat with him and not just low ball him for one box
Celebrations is also why I’m bullish on 151. It’s not the same but there’s a little fear that it’s to gimmick
151 is way more fun to open and the set is way bigger. It's a regular set with only gen 1. That's a winner all day. The SIRs that are worth the most are almost always in the first few generations. When they reprint 151 buy a little to hold onto.
@@bbq1040 all true. I have 151 mastered and several sealed boxes I just have anxiety about it.
@@bbq1040151 is a holiday set not a regular set. The jury is still out on 151. We still are unsure how many reprints are coming and how big they will be.
master setted the entire subset and got 2 gold mews. Absolutely love this set to this day. I mean the reprinted gold star umbreons and old exes what's not to love.
The lack of high rarity cards. The fact you get the same reprinted worthless cards over and over and over again.
When the guy I get all my info from Says he has no idea 😂😂
Lmao gotta keep things 💯
@@DannyPhantump and that's why you are the only person I sub to lol
I definitely wish english had also received the “25th” logo like the Japanese cards did
1 PokeRev video can change the whole course of celebrations. I have a bunch because the set it is perfectly unique.
Similar to Pokémon Go, do you think that putting a symbol on the art was the right choice? They could have made the symbol so much smaller
Gardivior is the hardest card to pull in the set then umbreon and magikarp love that set classic art work people will need to let time do its thing on that sleeping beauty let her slumber for a few years the people that's missed out with definitely be interested
Celebrations was too small of a set. They had a chance to put new spins on old cards but instead we got reprints with stamps. It reminds me of opening pokemon go because you get a lot of the same cards over and over and over. That said, every set eventually goes up in price. Even burning shadows and darkness ablaze will reach a point that they are worth significantly more per pack.
Exactly. Not sure why people love it so much. I'm not a fan.
👍🏽
I got PSA gem mint 10 celebrations Charizard, Venasuar, Blastoise, and Shiny Mew. Price fallen, yup. But its only been 3 years. Just wait it out 5 or at least 10 years to get your true answer. This might be worth something in 10 years. If you're looking for a quick flip, you will fail.
I like tht 1 my favourites
not much ROI in pokemon just sealed products that you hang onto until the market it fire then sell high as you can and get rid of it all otherwise pokemon is not very valuable
It really sucks. It's a poor attempt to cash in on vintage value. Nothing else great, just a pikachu on old cards.
I enjoyed opening Celebrations Collector's chest which I bought on clearance for 5 a piece. Never knew they were more like 45-50. 😅 Pulled the Mew, Umbreon star and Blastoise along many pikachu.
I still got a copy of the Pikachu V union sealed. I'm not really into jumbo cards. Would rather have the Charizard one instead. The UPC and etb I'm going to miss out but that is okay. Got the base set complete and got to enjoy base set arts with the 25th stamp on it.
Would love to pull the Charizard and Venusaur but maybe around the 30th anniversary. My 3 nephews did like the bulk and collectors chest with all the extra. Gonna surprise them in a few years with some more packs. Untill that moment I'm okay with prices being flat.
dannys the best!
You are
Celebrations was small and boring. Easy to keep sealed though.
Look at generations.will celebrations do the same?generations is so expensive now
I think it’s different because my assumption is celebrations was produced at a much higher rate, and stored sealed at much higher quantities. That’s not to say it will never see that type of growth, but I think sets like Generations and Shining Legends were more produced for the level of demand at that time, where as demand was at an all time high for Pokemon with Celebrations
I’ll probably end up picking up a celebrations UPC once it hits its low. It’s just crazy how expensive it is though.
That was one of the first things I opened after coming back into the hobby. Pulled Charizard & Umbreon, the rainbow pikachu, and the reg Charizard VMax. It was nuts.
@@deathbymazdathat is an outrageous run, excellent opening!! 😮🎉
@@ChilleBruh My hands were shaking lol. Two of my friends were chasing the rainbow pikachu for months back then so it was a huge card at the time. They were pissed that I pulled it on basically my first try haha
@@deathbymazdawhat is the rainbow pikachu in Celebrations?
@@deathbymazda wow I need some luck like that!!
Evolving skies is the one set that’ll be big in the future i think
Ya people who are complaining about celebrations not appreciating materially in 3 years are not investing, they are speculating/flipping.
That’s a good way of putting it
I think the metal charizard are brilliant investment, limited supply, a charzard and picachu and if you can get a raw one to garde a 10 what a investment that is. Wait 10 year's. I 2 to gift my daughter on her 18th birthday.
@@MRTENESTI got grade 9s of the zard and chu and then bought raw ones for my master set. Those cards are great
right. People looking for a quick flip with Pokémon cards will fail. Since the market is so volatile, just buy what you like when it come out and get it graded (if you're into that). Wait it out (like 5-10 years). Then sell at the right time. If not, just keep it.
Celebrations never hit for me but there is a long term argument.
Someone said they were going to wait for celebrations UPC to hit it's low. That ship set sale I doubt it will ever get cheaper then what it's cheapest resale value was and that was $300. I have 6 celebrations ETBs and 1 pokemon center one also.
Danny you are absolutely right your goal as an investor isn’t to turn and burn. If you are really investing in my opinion you shouldn’t be selling anything later than Sun and Moon, the point is for it to grow over time in my opinion 5-10 years out of print (so 7-12 years from release give or take.) I really love Celebrations it got me back into Pokémon cards!! However it definitely doesn’t help the value of the set when they say there is no more but oh baby people just keep finding it in stores/on the Pokémon center lol!! Super thankful for the content Danny I always appreciate the insight!! God bless you and the family!!!
Celibrations was a crappy set.. Way overprinted. Fun to open though, but value wise. very weak..
Generations was WAY more fun to open..
I agree generations did it better with better value. I like the set for what it is personally as a celebration of the entire tcg as a whole but, they should've made the main set spicier besides the gold mew really.
Celebrations was a huge disappointment. So much history to draw from and we got a small set entirely of reprints with stamps. Hopefully they learn for the 30th anniversary.
I think the bad thing about celebrations is the size of the set and how small it is. Less cards in set means easier to master. Therefor less people cracking packs and product
I love the Celebrations collectors chests up until a few months ago when people finally caught on. I was buying them up from $25-$30 whenever I could find them being the cheapest way to get 6 packs. I Even scored my last sealed case of 9 for $228 shipped a few months ago. 5 sealed cases and 47 loose chests in my collection so far as well as 9 cases of Pikachu vmax collections that I buy for less than MSRP around $40 each. Last case I bought a few weeks ago the seller paid $86 to ship so that is the biggest drawback for sure. The Walgreens tins have done really well and the regular tins and Mini tins display have done really well also. I have a few cases of UPC's and ETB's but I wouldn't be buying any now.
You say you don’t know anything about Pokémon investing, well here’s the thing, nobody really does. It is essentially 100% speculative. All you can really do is buy what you like or sets that seem to be loaded with great cards, which is also subjective and most likely going to still be based on what you like.
Buying what you like is the best advice in the Pokémon TCG. Well said!
I feel like the stamp is so ugly that it kills the set
Disagree, as I love the stamp and Mastered a set of every card with it.
Definitely room for all kinds of collectors in this space, Celebrations is one of my favorites though!
@@ChilleBruhsame opened it two days ago with my niece who is just getting into the hobby. Every other pack had a small story, kinda fun. She got a blastoise so it was a W.
i love stamps
Don’t let something so insignificant kill a set for you. Enjoy the remaining aspects.
Agreed. The Japanese stamp is miles better.
1st?
1st
Hey danny 1st again let's go!!!!
The king
First
What’s your name in Pv’s discord?!
Celebrations ETBs were going for full retail here, $80AUD. Now you can sell them for $130AUD+. If I bought a house for 800k 3 years ago and sold it now for 1.3mil I’d be considered a genius. So anyone who bought these when Celebrations came out is sitting pretty. These ETBs will spike in the lead up to the 30th anniversary.
