Im surprised most of the swsh alts arent more expensive, they are deathly hard to pull. As someone who opened at least 300 packs of all the sets with alt arts, and over 600 of evo skies brill stars and lost origin, alts are TOUGH to pull man
Best set of all time by miles. Will always be the most iconic set. People must be realizing that.. and rainbows, it has the best now extinct rainbows. There's like a hundred good cards in the set.. owning a BB is owning a piece of Poke History during the most historic time in Poke-History
I can't believe the skyrocketing prices! Battle styles you can still get a booster box for around $100-120 and there are great alt Arts in that set too
the professor juniper ptc boxes do have an evolving skies in it! I stocked up on those boxes because i believe theyre underrated and got them for about $25 shipped (7 total packs in each box)
your not the only one who likes base umbreon artwork more. the reason the umbreon vmax is so expensive is a combination of the good artwork, the popularity of the mon, and the rarity of alt art vmaxes. alt art vmaxes are more than 3x harder to pull than alt art vs in evo skies meaning even if the base umbreon artwork is better its not going to be more valuable than the umbreon vmax due to the difference in rarity. personally i like the rayquaza vmax artwork more and rayquaza more as a mon, yet the ray ray vmax is half the price of the umbreon despite being a similarly popular pokemon and being just as hard to pull. this is the thing that makes no sense to me. the only reason i can think of for this price disparity is that in order to get all the evolution alt arts as a set you need the moonbreon which means people are going to be willing to pay more for it in order to compete the set. ive always said the only thing worse for a collector than needing a ton of cards to complete a set is needing just 1 card to complete a set. when your 99 percent complete with a set your willing to spend absolutely insane amounts of money to finish it lol.
The eeveelutions are just so popular and you throw in rayqayza and dragonite you make a set that is a no brainer for collectors, no other set hits so many peoples favorites.
In Australia this booster box is going for over $1500 Australian dollars, the singles are just as expensive for the top cards. At this rate I’ll never have evo sky’s master set.
Since the box is worth more than the moonbreon at this point, it would be better to just get the moonbreon and have about 200 buck left for other Pokemon products if the budget is 700 😊
When you look through the card set of evolving skies and compare it to other sets from vivid voltage to now, I can see why evolving skies is so desired and admired.
At this point all the main Evolving Skies sets are so expensive (sealed) that it's better to go on this thrilling treasure hunt just to find loose packs in mixed tins from on/after the release time period.
That beginning part where prices are affected by lower prices is the same thing with price charting… sometimes you’ll have super expensive cards sold super cheap due to the condition. That being said that’s why you get the price of what you’re selling by adding the ungraded price + approximate grade in PSA or BGS divided by 2 to get your price worth of your card.
You aren’t the only one. I’ve said that as well that I think the Umbreon V alt is better than the Vmax. I like how Umbreon is at the top of the stairs and all the other pokemon are looking up to him. It’s really cool artwork!
Just saw a ton of pokeball tins in my local Aldis with evolving skies inside (A22), so you're right about how you can still find them around. Only recently got into collecting again so I missed when evolving skies was actually affordable everywhere, so it was cool to see they still occasionally get stocked for msrp every now and then.
I like how the Moonbreon is the most expensive umbreon card rn; overtaking the "original" moonbreon holo rare from neo discovery. Even a 1st edition isnt too bad.
The only reason I'd open an Evolving Skies booster box now is that one of the boxes I have got a bit crushed in transit when I bought it a few years ago. Essentially got it for free though because they gave me a refund and let me keep the box. I think the packs inside are mostly okay.
DUDUE WITH YOUR BACKBOARD PUT VELCRO ON THE BOTTOM AND ON THE TABLE AND IT WILL NEVER FALL AGAIN THEY MAKE VELCRO (HOOK AND LOOP) WITH ADHESIVE ON THE BOTTOM... The over exposure can be fixed by lowering your ISO you can probably get away with an iso of like 600-800 depending on your lights and generally you wanna go with the lowest ISO you can get away with. The higher the ISO the more likely you are to get over exposure you can also change the aperture a little but probably not enough if you wanna keep the blurred effect behind you. But if you don't mind having a deeper depth of field then you could maybe close the aperture a bit that would let less light in which would help the over exposure a bit.
People on the internet: "The Pokemon bubble has burst, prices are crashing back to pre covid levels" Me on eBay looking at ES prices: "£700 for an ES booster box that won't have any hits in it, wtf!"
My 12 year old son fell in love with all things Pokemon because of Evolving Skies. He loves all of the Eeveelutions, with Umbreon being his favorite. We have yet to pull a Moonbreon, so I always keep an eye out for these packs.
@15:56 bro as soon as you said they were erasers it took a sec to register, but i thought the same exact thing then you said it. That'd be Crazy to use them smh. So when's the E.S. Booster Box opening lol
There’s an Aldi’s I went to yesterday. They have like 40 pokeball tins with evolving skies, chilling reign, and fusion strike for $12 . Going back in the morning to get a bunch of them.
Evolving Skies will be the Team Up of sword and shield
Yeah but with much more overrated cards...
yoooo wsg
I wonder if Pokemon 151 will have bigger price increases than both of those sets in time.
@@IAmPetekachu not overrated at all, if anything, team up is the one with overrated arts lol
I used to l{very ur channel I watched u every day 😅
I really like the Volcarona V art at 19:03
Im surprised most of the swsh alts arent more expensive, they are deathly hard to pull. As someone who opened at least 300 packs of all the sets with alt arts, and over 600 of evo skies brill stars and lost origin, alts are TOUGH to pull man
you gotta have that chase
Can you send me a 200 dollar box of pokémon cards please
Same Ive Had Some Rought Evo Boxes Especially Later Prints!
Note to the Pokémon Company: put pencils in the pencil case. LOL.
So true
Radient grednija isn't $1 either..it's $11 - 20 bro. He filmed this in 2021 and is scamming us. Or he just that dumb
Totally agree, the Umbreon V is a way cooler card than the Vmax. IMO of course.
0:36 Rev looking like He-Man...damn
Regardless of no pulls, the attitude during the recordings is what made me get back with the TCG
11:30 double code card LMAO
Omg yeah! Lol
what!!!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHABAHAHAHAA FREAKING HILARIOUS 😂 AND YOU KNOW WHAT 😂😂😂
Best set of all time by miles. Will always be the most iconic set. People must be realizing that.. and rainbows, it has the best now extinct rainbows. There's like a hundred good cards in the set.. owning a BB is owning a piece of Poke History during the most historic time in Poke-History
$700?! Crazyyyyyyy
In the background is like 45 base set packs but love your channel 😂
I can't believe the skyrocketing prices! Battle styles you can still get a booster box for around $100-120 and there are great alt Arts in that set too
Probably the worst set. The sets would be fusion strike, Lost Origin or Brillant stars
Ew battle styles is bad smelly nasty
the professor juniper ptc boxes do have an evolving skies in it! I stocked up on those boxes because i believe theyre underrated and got them for about $25 shipped (7 total packs in each box)

Rarity is an illusion
The eeveelutions are just so popular and you throw in rayqayza and dragonite you make a set that is a no brainer for collectors, no other set hits so many peoples favorites.
I love how he didn't notice the extra cold card in the chilling rain pack at 11:40 lol
Cold card lol😂
Cold card lmaoo
Big fan of these videos where you just talk to the camera about your honest take on the hobby at the moment.
I would love some evolving skies back in stores here in Europe
They still are😂
@@bodylanbuuron4961 at affordable prices I meant 😭
I’ll pick Umbreon vmax rather than umbreon v cuz or the colors. Both are epic but the vmax is just so lively and beautiful
Still remember the Leafeon Vmax I pulled from ES, so awesome 👍
a little late but appreciate you helping pump/hype up ES booster box. with your following it's gonna moon now tyty
Every single like I run a mile
3
You’re up to 9 miles now
29 likes so far. You should get in good shape
In Australia this booster box is going for over $1500 Australian dollars, the singles are just as expensive for the top cards. At this rate I’ll never have evo sky’s master set.
I don’t see the price coming back down I would legitimately be shocked if this box hit $500 again before it hits $1000
I think pokemon has way too much battle style and would be that in collection first
Since the box is worth more than the moonbreon at this point, it would be better to just get the moonbreon and have about 200 buck left for other Pokemon products if the budget is 700 😊
Sword and Shield era was fire for the TCG
Glashion 😂😂 17:14
I’m a simple man. I see Evolving Skies, I click on video.
Seen the exact same comment for food theory…🧐
We got him boys 15:54 Lock him up
Such a good set
When you look through the card set of evolving skies and compare it to other sets from vivid voltage to now, I can see why evolving skies is so desired and admired.
I would like that to have the two pack blister eith the eevee or Pikachu erasure. Such a cool blister pack esp with evolving skies
For every like this comment gets i'll do a burpie
16:54 I agree completely!!!!
Q: Do I grade then hold on to my Moonbreon I pulled or sell it raw?
Raw the moonbreon is 650 Beckett 10 black 26k sold listenings
At this point all the main Evolving Skies sets are so expensive (sealed) that it's better to go on this thrilling treasure hunt just to find loose packs in mixed tins from on/after the release time period.
i pulled the golden snorlax from the chilling reign set such a cool card. still wanna pull some embreon from evolving skies tho

Totally agree the umbreon v is a cooler card than the moonbreon
9:01-9:02 video seems cut. I’m wondering what happened there 🤨 love watching your videos though but found this interesting
100% agree with Rev, the Umby V in my opinion is a nicer card than the VMax .
You aren’t the only one. I’ve said that as well that I think the Umbreon V alt is better than the Vmax. I like how Umbreon is at the top of the stairs and all the other pokemon are looking up to him. It’s really cool artwork!
I agree with you on the Umbreon. 😅
Let’s just hope it stops exploding in price soon 🙏
Just saw a ton of pokeball tins in my local Aldis with evolving skies inside (A22), so you're right about how you can still find them around. Only recently got into collecting again so I missed when evolving skies was actually affordable everywhere, so it was cool to see they still occasionally get stocked for msrp every now and then.
I love Lucario, Umbreon and snorlax😍
I agree with you on the "other umbreon" being preferrable.
hella addictive watching pulls from old packs lol gonna hunt my local stores now
I honestly prefer the gray borders over the yellow ones
Extra code card in the chilling reign pack 11:30 PokeRev
You have gotten me more into the Pokémon card hobby. I love watching every day and seeing all the sets. Thank you for what you do!
I agree with you Nick, the Umbreon V alt has much better artwork than the Vmax😊
The pack that he opened near 11:47 had 2 code cards in it
I agree. I like the v alt artwork more
I like how the Moonbreon is the most expensive umbreon card rn; overtaking the "original" moonbreon holo rare from neo discovery. Even a 1st edition isnt too bad.
I love evolving skies but it's to expensive nowadays
I’m not finding evolving in stores but I am finding cosmic eclipse
I love the evolving skies set
I am right there with you on Umbreon. I like V version much better.
I’m with Rev, the Umbreon V alt art is better than the Vmax
My 8 year old son has learned the joy of collecting thanks to you. Thank you.
I pulled the moonbreon from an etb. Sold it for 150 the same day. Good money for it at the time. Wish I'd kept hold of it though.
love opening random boxes and being plesantly surprised by the packs inside
I opened 20 booster boxes of this when it released, wasn’t able to pull neither umbreon or Rayquaza VMax alts :/
What monster would use the Pikachu or Eevee rubbers.
Which site do you use for checking prices?
It’s insane how expensive some of these sets can get
Agree about the tough nature of pulls for Evolving Skies. Have my own theories on why that is.
It’s cool to see all these different Pokemon products. A pencil tin would be a slight flex on my desk at the school I work at lol.
This is why I watch people open up Pokémon cards instead of opening them up myself, $700 box is crazy
Fun video and still great to see other sets being opened!
I like the Umbreon V Alt more than the vmax alt too
That green code card is a real buzz killer, glad they changed that in the newer sets
11:30 DOUBLE CODE CARD
Umbreon V alt >>>
I enjoyed the build-up to this video with the intro.
so it's now time to stock evo skies pack while we can get it?
I 100% agree that the umbreon v is a way cooler art. Also, the noivern flying through the city is an incredibly card that no one cares about
I watch these vids and I just wonder how much his WHOLE collection is worth
I totally agree, sword and shield except 151
11:34 did anyone else notice the double code cards…?
The only reason I'd open an Evolving Skies booster box now is that one of the boxes I have got a bit crushed in transit when I bought it a few years ago. Essentially got it for free though because they gave me a refund and let me keep the box. I think the packs inside are mostly okay.
I love Evo Skies, but I hate the pull rates...
Should be getting my Temporal forces box today!! So hyped!!
insane to even get the hands on a sealed ES nowadays!
DUDUE WITH YOUR BACKBOARD PUT VELCRO ON THE BOTTOM AND ON THE TABLE AND IT WILL NEVER FALL AGAIN THEY MAKE VELCRO (HOOK AND LOOP) WITH ADHESIVE ON THE BOTTOM... The over exposure can be fixed by lowering your ISO you can probably get away with an iso of like 600-800 depending on your lights and generally you wanna go with the lowest ISO you can get away with.

It’s wild that it’s going for that much. Packs themselves haven’t gone up that much, but the booster boxes just keep going crazy.
People on the internet: "The Pokemon bubble has burst, prices are crashing back to pre covid levels"
Me on eBay looking at ES prices: "£700 for an ES booster box that won't have any hits in it, wtf!"
My 12 year old son fell in love with all things Pokemon because of Evolving Skies. He loves all of the Eeveelutions, with Umbreon being his favorite. We have yet to pull a Moonbreon, so I always keep an eye out for these packs.
I knew that when I was a kid that they had pencils but I didn't know about the pencil box. Pretty neat and wouldn't mind having one.
I too prefer the other Umbreon V over the Moonbreon
Got two boxes last year. Wish I got in on a case earlier.
A nice look back at older products, many of which still clutter the shelves at Walmart.
@15:56 bro as soon as you said they were erasers it took a sec to register, but i thought the same exact thing then you said it. That'd be Crazy to use them smh.
So when's the E.S. Booster Box opening lol
I agree 100 percent on the umbreon cards I still don’t get the hype on that moombreon card
There’s an Aldi’s I went to yesterday. They have like 40 pokeball tins with evolving skies, chilling reign, and fusion strike for $12 . Going back in the morning to get a bunch of them.
I appreciate you putting up the link to get the 4.0 packs!! Let's goooo!! 🎉 I don't see evolving skies to much around here.
These are the types of videos I like so I can what items have what fun stuff
I think there are 2 Evolving skies packs in the Typhlosion tin
