Literally got to open packs like yesterday. Thought “Eh, why not” and bought five packs yesterday, and another five today, I got the Eevee and thought to myself “Huh, that’s a cute card” not realizing I had one of the most fun expensive cards in my possession, my friend saw it and almost lost his shit.
Fun fact: The Eevee Illustration rare has 8 Eevees, one for each eeveelution, and most of them are positionned to emulate their V & VMAX Alt Arts from Evolving Skies and Fusion Strike, or their VMAX Premium Collection promos. I think they are: jumping down from the top left: Jolteon (see SWSH183 and SWSH184 promos) playing with the mug: Leafeon (see its VMAX AA where it's playing with a haybale) sleeping in the basket: Espeon (VMAX AA from Fusion Strike) sitting on the armrest: Umbreon (same pose as the Umbreon V AA) resting on the table: Glaceon (similar pose to the V AA where it's resting on the park bench) playing with the Hydreigon toy/plushie: Sylveon (bit of a stretch but I think it's due to it not being bothered by Dark/Dragon types and in both its AAs it's either playing for objects or Pokémon - and its toy is a combination of both. The last two I'm not convinced... But I think the one sitting next to "Sylveon" is Flareon. It has a similar facial expression to its VMAX AA (SWSH180 promo) and is depicted from slightly above, a little like its V AA (SWSH179 promo). Which leaves Vaporeon which would be the one sitting behind the sleeping one. I think it looks sad or bored because it would rather go play in the water... Curious to know what other people think which eeveelution each of them represents!!
That's awesome information thank you!!! I just pulled the Eevee THIS MORNING! I was stoked cause I had done ripped a few packs of just low value cards finding nothing then I was like wouldn't it be cool if I got a gold then I pulled the Eevee I'll take it!
to be honest, the art has never been better. for investing, it's probably not the right time for single cards (and may never be), but you could definitely get away with stockpiling lots of sealed product long term and seeing prices increase (they already are for SWSH as we know; only one generation behind).
I think these prices will actually increase unlike most sets once people realize how hard the pull rates are and how competitive some of the cards in the set are.
I agree these Ogerpon cards are a bit underwhelming, they just look like Full Arts with a larger Pokémon and since they are the main focus of the set, it makes it look a bit underwhelming... But this set has a lot of potential. But the Greninja SIR is a beautiful card of a fan favorite Pokémon (I pulled it in Crimson Haze and it is incredible - probably top 3 SIR from this era so far). The Eevee (with 8 Eevees, one for each eeveelution) and Tatsugiri IRs also are fantastic, the H-Growlithe IR and Perrin SIR are brilliant together as each card is a POV of each other, and both female SIR trainers will have their fans and chasers. I don't think it will be as good as Paldea Evolved (which I rank as the #1 SV main set, and I think most people will agree), but not that far behind. It has a few IRs that could stay in the $15-25 range and I wouldn't be surprised if Eevee keeps an even higher value, comparable to Raichu and Groudon in the $30-40 range. Overall it will mostly depend on the pull rates, if they are similar to Temporal Forces the top chases will hold their value, but I hope they bring back similar rates to Paldea Evolved where you at least got one HR/SIR in almost every booster box. I currently rank it as the #3 set out of 6, so between Paradox Rift and Temporal Forces.
haha I opened a booster box and got the greninja first pack, posted it for $140 on ebay, sold for 125 at best offer and I only payed $108 for the whole bosster box. now i cant wait to buy it again for 20 bucks in like a month.
The next set will be the Evolving Skies set of scarlet and violet era. This is the Dragon set that will hopefully deliver. Saving my coins for the drop in August 24’….
Highly disagree honestly, It might seem underwhelming because your seeing all the good pulls on screen, but in my opinion this is the best thing in scarlet and violet besides 151. maybe paldea evolved if im not being biased but i actually hated that set alot more. I think if you were to actually sit down and open some packs without seeing this video you would be more hyped to see the arts.
It doesn’t make sense that people pay this much for these cards at prerelease. They drop immediately. That being said, I’ll buy the greninja if I can get it for $50 lol.
This set sucks so bad. The fact someone paid $70 for a gold item card is ridiculous. Modern gold cards are typically worth $8-$15 at most. Yeah… will look forward to getting this set for mad cheap like $600.

@RollTide24-7 it's a fantastic card. I wish I had it too :(
I look forward to buying all these in a PSA 10 for $10-$15 in a year or 2.
Keep dreaming, alt arts are not steam siege full art GXs.
Yup, Imma gonna trade in my Tesla for a private jet in a year or 2
Just like sword and shield right 🤓🤓
Idiotic prices! All these cards will all be worth less then 60 dollars in a couple months.
They won’t tank that much 😂
Love that Lana's Aid card! Also loved the Clive in PAF. This seems to be my type of cards.
Bro I just pulled that Eevee this MORNING!! I wanna get it graded but who do you suggest between PSA or Beckett?? Thanks for the time much respect! 🙏

Exactly… everybody hated Chilling Reign and Fusion Strike just 2 years ago, hindsight is always 20/20

The growlithe complements the perrin one!
I want that greninja
how do people not see value and beauty in the infernape card. its literally the best one of the set
It’s ogre like shrek then pawn.
I got the carmine on my second pack!
haha I opened a booster box and got the greninja first pack, posted it for $140 on ebay, sold for 125 at best offer and I only payed $108 for the whole bosster box. now i cant wait to buy it again for 20 bucks in like a month.
haha "augerpon"
Isn't the Greninja a promo with the new box set?
Not the same artwork, but there is a greninja promo for that new set.
Wait that carmine was the one i bought 🤣
Number eight looks like the main antagonist in samurai jack
I can't wait to open packs of this set. 🙂
these prices and top cards will be different once it comes out
I was excited to purchase my first case of booster boxes but this set is super underwhelming so I shall wait
Glad to see you back bro ❤❤❤
The next set will be the Evolving Skies set of scarlet and violet era. This is the Dragon set that will hopefully deliver. Saving my coins for the drop in August 24’….
What’s dropping on August 24th?
@@JavierGarcia-o3t we don’t know yet… It’s heating up in Japan… Tge sets releasing next two months will make up the English release in August… 👍
Feels like Ultra Prism, only Trainer Cards wich are good. Greeninja is also decent
Why do people ghink because sword and shield is going up earlier than expected it means every new card printed is an automatic gold mine
This set is really really MID…

A lot of these cards are being picked up for competitive play. The meta game is heavily reliant on some of these.
It doesn’t make sense that people pay this much for these cards at prerelease. They drop immediately. That being said, I’ll buy the greninja if I can get it for $50 lol.
Fomo. IMO ppl are looking for the next big “chase” card that will keep rising in value. Most won’t.
That Greninja is like 200 now
These cards will go down in value in 2 weeks
Good Video My Friend!
This set sucks so bad. The fact someone paid $70 for a gold item card is ridiculous. Modern gold cards are typically worth $8-$15 at most.
Yeah… will look forward to getting this set for mad cheap like $600.
Yep hard pass
I’m buying 1 P.C. ETB only
Greninja is the only one good
Hard pass as well but cool to see the cards!
I’m gonna take a hard pass as well! Lol
Every s&v set absolutely sucks except for 151. Get it together Nintendo
Definitely not right. Your opinion tho 🤷
Could at least put in the effort to make sure you're saying things correctly.
How so?
Hard pass on this set.
Trash besides eevee 😢
Horrible set
