The reason all this bums me out is I don’t want to buy to invest or whatever, I just wanted some packs of 151 to open and relive some childhood nostalgia. I wanted to do what these cards were intended for and open, collect, trade and play. But now that’s not feasible. I went to buy a pack of 151 from a local shop and it was $12. Insane! What’s worse is I saw a kid buy one because he wanted it so bad, but he could only buy one because of the steep price. They aren’t just ruining it for us, they’re ruining it for the kids
You and the kids can buy shrouded fable. Like 3 bucks a pack. Available at every store near anyone! 151 is probably the second most popular set of the last 10 years. It was widely available all last year. If you didn’t buy it then, you didn’t really want it.
Prismatic evolution in the other hand is a different beast. That really is ruined by scalpers. I think it’s the most expensive pre release of any set in a long time
@ in defense of myself and the children, I didn’t even know about 151 until last month. I don’t finite the TCG but I’m a classic fan that has renewed interest in a childhood hobby. Sadly that childhood hobby has been taken over by scalpers. Either way this isn’t something people should do anyways, much less with products intended for kids where the ones who are probably paying the insane prices are parents just trying to buy their kids that one gift they really want
@@TylrMorgnProductionsif you want to relive your childhood nostalgia, open up Pokemon go. It’s cheap, everywhere and has a charizard, blastoise, venusaur, ditto, dragonite and mewtwo as the chase cards. If you don’t want that set because it’s cheap and nothing is worth anything, then you aren’t going after 151 and these other sets because of nostalgia, you aren’t going after them because they are worth money, everyone wants them and you feel you could pull some $$. It would mean you are just like everyone else.
I honestly highly doubt that the PC Prismatic ETBs will last more than 5m, I think we will crash the site and take forever to be able to check out and that would be the only reason it would last 5m tops😂
Why are people paying $500 for an ETB? Paying that much also contributes to ruining the market. I thankfully was able to preorder 2 PE ETBs and 2 surprise boxes from the Pokemon center when they first got announced. It’s hard to pass up selling those ETBs if they go for $500, but I feel like I can’t do that in good conscience. I’ll open them and probably send the Evee promos off for grading and go from there
Honestly, I'm not even trying to get prismatic evolution. Because ridiculous the price is. I will stick with trying to finish my base set 2 and fossil.
Damn, that sucks! I randomly looked and found these a couple days ago and bought 2 boxes to open with my son. We actually opened the Sams club box a while back and my son pulled that Giratina Vstar and then proceeded to damage it by putting it in a magnetic display wrongly…sent to PSA and got it graded as a 1! Haha
i’m really hoping sams club restocks sea and sky, i’m getting back into collecting and based on researching for days on end i’ve decided that set is the most worth it 🤞🏼🤞🏼
That Sea and Sky box is such a good deal. Got one for my son recently and we pulled a lot of hits, including the Giratina Vstar. 14 packs for $40 is awesome and just a tad better than 11 packs for $500 haha
@@RK-fh4bp that’s so awesome!! i was debating on getting the shiny zamazenta box for $60 but sea and sky is a much better deal by far. i’m just worried they won’t restock it again 💔
I honestly think the day PE releases it will be sold out on the Pokemon center in a few min with how many people are going to be trying to get it. This set is nuts 🥜
I'm so happy that I decided to sign on to pokémon center the day they dropped the ETBs for Prismatic evolutions I was able to pick up a few and I'm also thankful for the discord groups cuz I was able to catch a few restocks at Target and Walmart for it I feel bad for people trying to go on release day that's not going to work too well but hey hopefully it does
I'm currently debating showing up at my Target early for PE or spam-refreshing the Pokemon Center page. I'm a bit nervous to attempt both at the same time...
my small card store near me gets them on the 17th and i will be first in line ima line up super early and hardly anyone knows about the spot. plus they have limits so they cant be all bought out. they will prob have the etbs for 100 ish
I can’t even buy an 151 ETB smh. Just got into the hobby and I see myself getting out of it for awhile. Maybe I’ll get back to it in the next 5 months. I love pokemon and all but I don’t see myself paying for that much for pieces of cardboards. The art is really good with some cards and I only see myself spending $100 for these anything beyond that is not practical
Zap-uh-dos . lol. Don’t hate men I just notice it every video . Did you guys know it’s pronounced “ray-kway-zuh. Not ray-kwa-zuh ? Only learned that last month.
Any store who cancels and relists should lose their entire allocation
I agree with you there. That is ridiculous
Been happening to me on ebay lately. I keep finding deals just for into be canceled and re listed
Well said.
How dare those stores make money

Absolutely hate this Pokemon Boom!
Been a fan since a kid and now I can’t buy the stuff I love, it’s sad af.
waaaaaah waaaaah
Serious FIMO . (Furious I missed out)
It's got me to the point where I'm debating whether or not to even open things - situation's wild
Only reason to open packs is to have fun. You will never make your money back and very likely never pull your chase card.
My team rocket mystery pack arrives today! A bright light in these dark times.
I'm so pumped for you! I hope you love it!

Wow that set is going wild!

Local card shops have the etb at 75 for the release date DEAL.
Thank you so much for making this video! It was really helpful and gave me a great price guide for stuff. 😊 I appreciate you.
£109 (around $136) for temporal forces booster box a good deal then to hold?
Yes, you should hold everything for at least 20+ years, treat it like a 401k don't sell until you're 59 years old! 💎🙌
Yeah I'm a big 5 years and hold kind of guy.

Have you bought any vivid voltage?
I actually have one booster box of vivid voltage just to have one.

I would check pokemon center a week out surging sparks restocked a week out I think.

Yeah get the terestal festivals japanese booster box, I got the umbreon from mine
I got achance to buy a shadowless charizard (4/102) for $600. Its moderately to heavily played. To me it seems a little high, your take?
That is tough... I honestly don't know. My gut says that is too much.
@WhereismyPidgey thats where I was at to but you know waaaay more than I do. Thanks a ton for the opinion/help
