Greninja is definitely my favorite card this year. Not a charizard and looks absolutely amazing in person. Plus Greninja is an all time favorite from a lot of people. 😂 i see why its high, plus pull rates!
Grateful I could genuinely enjoy cracking packs with my sister when ES was readily available and “average”. We pulled quite a few big hits, and now the monetary cost seems completely validated.
The ARs are just easier to pull in Japanese, you can get a box for £30-£40, you’re guaranteed 3 ARs per box, you can basically get 3 Japanese boxes for the price of one English. There is also usually only 12 ARs in a Japanese set. And we’re not even guaranteed 3 IRs in the English boxes… So basically it’s FAR cheaper to get Japanese AR cards and you’re pulling from a smaller pool of artworks, so are more likely to get the card you want…pretty simple 🤷🏼♂️
I can see why Magikarp is up there from a grading (love it or hate it) stand point. PSA population reports show that only about 23% of all submitted are 10s. That coupled with an approximately 1 in 500 chance of pulling it in the larger set like Paldea Evolved makes it a not so unreasonable price point.
Got the Japanese version of Greninja and it looks pretty cool when in hand. ✨ Not sure if it’s worth $170 but it’s a really really vibrant card and a fan favourite Pokemon. So can see it staying at a high price for a while.
I got the shodow rider for 40$ at my lcs a month ago on the advice of this and a few other channels. Now let’s see what happens with the Galarian rapidash.
I think we should do our best to give AS LITTLE attention and coverage as possible to these kinds of price surges. It's well known that there are orchestrated groups of people who cause this to occur. I suppose if they cause the baseline to permanetnely to change, then we can only temporarily call it an "artifical" fluctuation. Nevertheless, we should at least agree that these buyouts are meant to cause a frenzy. If you didn't already own these cards and then you buy in response to the surge, then you play into these people's hands.
English cards hold more value and cost more just how it is lol 😂 we should know this already . Just like some Japanese cards have more value than English .
So tired of scalpers doing buyouts of cards and manipulating the market. I am only missing the Syoveon and Leafeon to complete my entire alt art collection, but I'm about to give up on them.
I think the illustration rares are more rare than you think and a lot of them look better than the SIR's in the sets of

Paldea evolved has 36 illustration rares and you get 3 per box. People really just dont get it huh
Possibility of a Magikarp still not guaranteed
@@rounackshome1411 I was making a case for how hard it is to pull. Very low pull rate when you take duplicates into consideration

Somehow got my greninja ex for 80

I am glad I have a decent stock of Chilling Reign and Evolving Skies Booster packs on hand. Gonna just sit on them for a minute
Never understood why leafeon is more than sylveon the sylveon card is gorgeous and has looks better imo

I remember on the time you even over a trade for your sylveon
so glad I bought 20 magikarp japanese psa 10's before they end up jumping
that Greninja card is super mid...people see bright colors and think expensive. Next!
Go look at the Mega Rayquaza cards spike in price.
I think alot of price increases is because of people hoping to discover the new 'moonbreon'
Greninja is $185 ☠️
I saw one on eBay sell for over $400 raw about a week ago…crazy
Cheapest one right now on TCGplayer is $230..I deeply regret selling mine when I did
Thank the kiddos who watched the XY anime with the Ash Graninja- they’re the reason Graninja is so popular
@@Zerathina That makes me wonder how much will the Greninja ex Promo from the Special Illustration Collection cost
I want that Leafeon… but I ain’t payin that ‘ice for a piece of cardboard with art on it
I bought a psa10 japanese magikarp an 2 days later at my LCS I bought a PE booster box an pulled english magikarp IR on my first pack
Im glad I bought that Glaceon Vmax at a con for 200$ the other day then.
Me too! Last month I bought mine for $201.
buddy of mine traded his greninja for a lugia v SAR from silver tempest and the celebi V alt art from fusion strike, insane deal
Magikarp is going to be a 250-300$ card with ease
That's insane lmao the art is decent but no way it should even be $100
Leafeon is the best Evolving Skies card in my opinion.

Leave Magikarp alone!
Magikarp a lot harder to pull in English than Japanese
perhaps the japanese are better fishermen.
Damn, Pokémon card collecting is about to cost as much as NFL.
Leafeon
If it's not a Eeveelution or Charizard it's not a top tier elite card for Wossy.
I have seen magic in Japanese and it's better looking than English.. so confusing

English coming for the crown

This greninja the ugliest card in this era, I’d never pay over 20 for this ugly card I’d prefer other card
I’m sick of evolving skies 😂 ever other video some TH-camr is making another video about it isn’t there more to Pokémon that just that
First
No I’m first bitch!
Magi to the 🌙
Second!!! Great content
