I was in my local cardshop yesterday, and this kid was talking with his mom about "how long he had to save his allowance" to get some surging sparks products. Kid wasnt happy, but the mom told him it was a new product, and its expensive. The kid then saw a PE poster and sayd he wanted to save for that instead. I was flipping trough the binders in the store at the time, and as soon as the kid sayd he wanted PE products, the clerk and I made eyecontact, and I knew we were thinking the same thing: "Ye, this kid aint never getting a PE pack" It was kinda sad. It made me think about when i was a kid and MY mom took me to get a couple of baseset or jungle packs, and how happy that made me. The prices now are just too insane.
What's worse is the pull rates are being compared to evolving skies and fusion strike and we kinda see that in this video. It's insanity what made the Pokémon company decide to go down this route of unforgiving pull rates.
@@Baker_memesI am with you on that. I hope they print this set to demand for years to come. If we as players and collectors refuse to pay what the scalpers want for it hopefully they get stuck with it and have to sell at MSRP or lower just to recoup their funds. These scalpers are not part of the community, they are just lowlifes trying to make a quick buck off the hype. I’ve been a collector for years and have recently started playing and building decks. I absolutely refuse to pay these people these prices especially after seeing the pull rate. It’s disgusting all around.
just wait its going to drop fast pokemon company is probably going to have 5 times as much product coming out of there.stores they have to know how much people want this and im praying best buy and target aand other places implement 1 per person
How would that make sense if Japanese, Chinese, and Korean have better Evolving Skies pull rates, but the English singles cost more than their foreign counterparts?
Thank you for the break down on the expected prices vs what it is in stores if you can get it. I appreciate that since it helps put things into perspective.
It really sucks that i only recently got back into Pokémon cards, just to find people taking all the product and ruining it for everyone else. It’s just a small thing that makes me happy and I wish it was more accessible. Giving some of this stuff away is really awesome man, i really appreciate your videos. I use them to decide what sets to open all the time.
I got back into it because of 151 and finally having the disposable income to buy Pokémon cards. Wasn’t going to buy cards over repaying student loans or saving money for a home, etc.
As someone who recently came back to this hobby, I found it insane when you talked about the market for these cards. I thought prismatic evolutions was going to be the first set that I open up in over a decade but when I saw more and more videos about what's going on it seems like I might have to start on another set, even thought I was looking forward to this set. I hope that in time the craziness dies down so that everyone can enjoy this set but for now I'll enjoy watching people open cards because I just love the artwork for this set.
My interest sparked back into Pokemon when this set was announced. The prices for these products are absolutely insane. Just wanted to get some new Eevolutions!
@@royalsoul1125 Vstar Universe had easy pull rates for SARs, or the full art galarian gallery cards. About one in 8 or 10. Same as opening a booster box of the japanese high class set. For this one, it was expected to have better pull rates not only to make sense in comparison to japanese, as Crown Zenith, but because there are so many SIRs on the set. Specific SIRs like Eeveelutions are going to be worth hundreds...
Most likely, since he got it from a distro, it was below or around MSRP, so closer to the 690 figure he showed in the video. But yes, it's wild regardless
Definitely interested in a collection video vlog in the future! 👀 I just want to see your favorite pieces/binders/cards/nostalgic stories and stuff. I think its safe to say theres enough "hype" videos out there in the space right now.. itd be nice to just have something to watch that brings us down to earth instead of ratcheting up anxieties with allocations and availability and fomo and pull rates🫣😮💨 I think most people in the hobby (myself , especially) could really use some grass-fondling, feel-good, personal joy in Pokemon.

Dont get me wrong, that can certainly be a point of pride for any collector, but i think we could all use some real content that doesnt focus almost exclusively on what a collection or card is WORTH to base our happiness in the hobby on🤷🏽♀️ Is it possible to watch a video without wishing there was a volume warning?? 😂 ISO chill, inside-voice Rev 🤫🙃🙏🏽

I saw someone said they believe big hits were stolen off the production line and that it’s happened in the past. Hard to believe but, for as many packs as I’ve watched be opened and as little Eeveelution SARs that I’ve seen, it’s starting to seem believable.
@@tommycampbell5227 Where did you hear that btw? i keep thinking about how many scummy people i come across in this hobby, theres bound to be some of them working in a printing house stealing cards.
@ So I was watching a WhatNot stream of Prismatic Evolution to get a gauge on pull rates and it was mentioned in the chat by another viewer. BUT he also said that apparently this has happened in the past with Gengar Vmax from Fusion Strike. And a quick little google search on that brings up conversations about it happening. So the fact that it’s happened before, who’s to say it hasn’t happened again. I’ve watched a lot of packs be opened. I’ve seen one God pack, and an SAR Flareon. The rest were less desirable SARs. However I was watching another PokeTuber today (I forgot his name or else I’d give him a plug) and he was discussing pull rates. He said based on the statistics, you could easily rip 1k packs and never see an eeveelution SAR. So it would just be that difficult.
the skyrocketing prices are actually making me want to find my exit out of the hobby just as quick as I reentered it.

Still having fun but there was(is) a part of me that's like "I was happy and fine before I got back into collecting, I almost wish I didn't reenter" With all this craze and prices hitting unreasonable heights, this is actually a tempting time to sell off all of my collection and quit the hobby for good. Such a shame because despite the overspending and the high costs, it was still manageable and it was FUN, and after 20 years I found a way back in to my childhood. But these recent sets are having a very much reverse appeal on the hobby as a whole for me. It seems like it wouldn't be a bad time to sell with prices so high, I could recoup a good chuck of my money and move on to better things in life.
It's inevitable that your videos do produce more hype and make more people want to buy, but I always appreciate that you stick to distributor level when buying stuff so that's one less person fighting in a Target or online for them. Also I really like that they've been coming out with binder collections more - I like having themed binders for my cards :D
Honestly your videos usually make opening seem like a dream, but this time it shows honesty and I'm so glad I couldn't find these. Sorry to keep commenting, but I've been really struggling to get these for the channel.
That is absolutely not true. Pokemon is printing more cards than ever and the numbers are increasing every year. Its just that the demand is so crazy right now it feels like they are printing less.
@@melficealmasy9591 that's not what I said, they've cut down total production per set compared to sw&sh era because production then exceeded demand by a lot.. That's why you can still find a lot of sw&sh products. Nowadays they try to meet demand while not overprinting cards - that has created problems with certain sets. This has been confirmed by anybody in the Pokemon business, look it up
The masterball is something the English set needed to keep things alive. The add of the texture to the cards outside of the ex or better improves the quality and product all around.
You realise this will just make speculators more excited? Bad pull rates means expensive cards which eventually leads to the set going up even more. SWSH alt art sets were horrible as well and look where they've all ended up.
@jordannorris4029 Evo skys didn't have batching issues and the Art is way better. I would go buy vintage before I pay these prices and I have no vintage. YET I will sooner then later 😂
I remember when Shining Fates came out during Covid and were selling for $100 per ETB. Just have to give it time but this will probably stay high for a while.
It'll probably get multiple reprints like SF but I doubt it'll have the same effect. The set is too good. It might be similar to what happened with Japanese 151 where there was a short window to buy at the reduced price post reprint.
Idk this time is different more people seem to just be hoarding stuff now and not even reselling them or openening them people are investing in them like stocks 😂
This year, how things have changed has made collecting with my boys such a task. The fun in all isn't there like it used to be sadly. Thank you for all you do man, we greatly appreciate it!
** He gets his stuff from distributors. TPCi sends all the product to distributors who send it out to stores. He has a few distributors on speed dial that will sell to him before they sell to everyone else.
Ultra rares have been a consistent 1 in 15 packs through SV sets. SIRs have been 1 in 70 to 80ish lately. I was hoping they'd increase the SIR pull rates with so many in Prismatic. Looks like my hope was misplaced
I would love a collection video! Bummed my pre orders were canceled. Thank you for letting us experience the joy of opening this set. You the real MVP!
@ it was my local GameStop, I live in a relatively small town and had preordered 2 ETB’s and a binder pack to start my master set of this set and received an email from them saying that they canceled my order. I only paid the minimum for pre-orders which was $5 bucks each, no not a major loss. After seeing these videos though, with the batching issues it may have been a blessing in disguise. I hope Pokemon will make it right and print more to hopefully make up, I know it’s a *special set but still would be cool to have some. With how crazy these prices are it is making the hobby not even enjoyable.
@@Papaj2024 gotcha, I was curious because I heard of people getting their orders cancelled but wasn’t sure what business it was. I had also preordered and was worried mine may get canceled without warning. Hopefully this set gets printed a ton and prices go down so all of the collectors who love the hobby get to have some of this set 🥲
Please do a full collection videos, I have been waiting for this for years

Started collecting again at the end of 2024. I've been loving seeing all the new collections but with how expensive everything is I'm just hoping that by spring or summer time they'll be a bit cheaper so everyone can collect without having to spend thousands of dollars.
So a video like this does many things at once, some good and some bad. One bad thing it does is makes very clear that there is money to be made reselling this set... So this video will incite many folks to want to buy in in order to profit.
I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you for making this video! So many new collectors or people getting back into the hobby are going to be confused at how expensive everything is rn
@@ram1420 so the scary part is $2000 is a lot of money for the average person to just spend on their hobby and 5 pc etbs should cost way less than $2000. That is like 55 packs for $2000. Correct me if I'm wrong!
I love these types of videos! Not only are they more interactive and informative but also allow the viewer to experience the world of Pokémon purchasing. Thank you
I'm thinking it's cuz of Pokemon Pocket. Like even a lot of my friends got back/are interested in collecting now and are asking me for tips since I was the only one in the group collecting pokemon cards
It's Pokemon Pocket mostly. My friends have been trying to collect real cards because of it and it's actually annoying. All they do is send me photos ALL THE TIME of their normal ex cards and talk about how good they are at collecting. They just buy random boxes and don't research the sets at all. They keep asking me how much stuff is worth. I've been collecting for years and I'm not gatekeeping, but if someone doesn't want to do their own research on the sets then I'm not willing to help them.
One last Tiktok pump and dump before potential ban. So many drop shipped sellers potentially banned. All attempts to avoid legitimate employment a bit longer. Let's hope 2025 is the death of the box break scam.
Supporters give the same vibe as Paldean Students in PAF, but in P.Fates we also had shiny full arts and shiny ARs, when this set has no full art poks at all :/
For ppl who keep it sealed its very good that SIR are rare. There is a reason ppl love to play the lottery/jackpot games. Its the "what if i pull the 10 000 usd god pack" feeling that will cause the prices of sealed to skyrocket when this is out of print
And whats funny is Terastal Festival packs are $10CAD (dunmow how much they are usd) and youre guaranteed a hit in every pack and a SIR in every box. To me, the japanese version will always be better for collectors
Agreed that prices kinda crazy for this new release set (not even officially released yet), but for my country here many members of the community had placed their Pre-Order from LGS (Local Game Stores) and some were bulk order. However, what happened was alot of their PO was cancelled by the LGS and believed that the LGS cancelled POs so as to resell it to outside at the "current market" price which is about 3x of the PO price.
Yeah, price surge is really insane. We hobbyst just want to enjoy some pack openings, and some stands in the 10-20 max number range per expansion. Knowing that there's very little affordable MSRP priced products left on the Earth is very very sad😢
Rev, you're an absolute champ for going through this. It's incredibly sad to hear all the insanity going on with this set. It's been hyped for so long, and to see [this] degree of scalping, bad batches, horrible pull rates, impossible to find Eeveelutions...absolute sad. Especially after seeing the Japanese boxes yield much better.
I swear that the prices are so high because the set hasn't officially been released yet, so there are only a few boxes going out into the public. I think that on January 17, when these are officially released by pokemon, there will be more packs to go around, and the price will drop.
It's kinda sad that this is such a bad time to collect pokemon. I js feel like it never used to be so expensive, and the fact that we're being forced to pay $15+/per pack of a literal unreleased set is crazy.
Just getting back into collecting pokemon cards and it's rough for someone wanting to start again, especially as someone who plays MTG where thats also getting really expensive as each year passes. I don't even care about reselling anything I just like how much prettier Pokemon is than magic and the foils are so much better.
I am hoping that if everyone just holds out long enough the scalpers will be bored and move on to the next thing and prices will be better. Unfortunately that might look like not being able to get the next few sets but if that means in the future we can actually open stuff at a reasonable price it may be worth
I feel like the pull rates are the same as past SV sets but we have a lot less full art cards, which is what a lot of people think as hits. Pokeballs and masterballs aren't too bad, but I'd prefer gettinf full illustrations for masterballs if its just the pokeball but more shiny.
Batching issues aren't a huge issue when a kid can buy 4 packs at the store at MSRP and enjoy them for that it is. Its only an issue for grown adults buying pallets of them only to resell.
I would love for these prices to drop. Getting one of those binder collections & one etb would be so awesome. Just 1, but the price must drop!! Good luck everyone!
yessir youre pumpin video's left and right! appreciate the hard work you put it, i love coming home and relaxing and watching you rip some packs. helps me because i always wanna go buy and rip cards but cant find them ahaha
There are two key problems;
1- scalpers that sells the stuff at high prices
2-the people that buy it

The pull rates might drop the price of this set but increase the price of the cards. Terastal festival will become even more popular.

Pull rates will do nothing to the price
How would that make sense if Japanese, Chinese, and Korean have better Evolving Skies pull rates, but the English singles cost more than their foreign counterparts?
Pull rates bad, price of cards up, price of PE will go up
Sadly wrong. If cards go up the set will go up. If the cards go down > the set goes down. Simple as that, it has nothing to do with pull rates.
I feel like the hits got stolen in the factory again :D

Man I love binder collections. Imagine having a master set of this set in the exclusive binder!
Not gonna fit in that binder
Ultra rares have been a consistent 1 in 15 packs through SV sets. SIRs have been 1 in 70 to 80ish lately. I was hoping they'd increase the SIR pull rates with so many in Prismatic. Looks like my hope was misplaced
I would love a collection video! Bummed my pre orders were canceled. Thank you for letting us experience the joy of opening this set. You the real MVP!
What store/stores canceled your pre orders?
@ it was my local GameStop, I live in a relatively small town and had preordered 2 ETB’s and a binder pack to start my master set of this set and received an email from them saying that they canceled my order. I only paid the minimum for pre-orders which was $5 bucks each, no not a major loss. After seeing these videos though, with the batching issues it may have been a blessing in disguise. I hope Pokemon will make it right and print more to hopefully make up, I know it’s a *special set but still would be cool to have some. With how crazy these prices are it is making the hobby not even enjoyable.
@@Papaj2024 gotcha, I was curious because I heard of people getting their orders cancelled but wasn’t sure what business it was. I had also preordered and was worried mine may get canceled without warning. Hopefully this set gets printed a ton and prices go down so all of the collectors who love the hobby get to have some of this set 🥲
Please do a full collection videos, I have been waiting for this for years
Started collecting again at the end of 2024. I've been loving seeing all the new collections but with how expensive everything is I'm just hoping that by spring or summer time they'll be a bit cheaper so everyone can collect without having to spend thousands of dollars.
$17 a pack. I started collecting with my son with SV base. The most expensive set was 151, and poster bundles were $15 for over half a year.
So a video like this does many things at once, some good and some bad. One bad thing it does is makes very clear that there is money to be made reselling this set... So this video will incite many folks to want to buy in in order to profit.
You missed a pokeball holo 16:33. lol most likely just ignored it because of the master ball.
I wanted you to show the massive stack of crown zenith you could get for 2k and I guarantee you’d get so much more in value in pulls too!
I just bought so many packs of cz from tcg for around $5/pack im hype
I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you for making this video! So many new collectors or people getting back into the hobby are going to be confused at how expensive everything is rn
I appreciate this more realistic look at this set. Watching other openings they made it feel like God packs were in every box.
What other opening you watch that had this?
Crazy bad rates
Brother the vid has been out for a minute what do you mean bad rates
@@PrismaWfrom what I’ve seen in other videos and the video he posted yesterday I’m just assuming he got bad stuff in this one as well lol
1 in 50 sar. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet
The master and poke ball reverse in one pack!!! That’s crazy
@@Nblackburnn1 in 50 pack is it what you are saying?
26:21 You can get double balls in this set people. DOUBLE BALLS
It happened earlier in the video too.. around the 17 minute mark. He missed it.
@@kimberleyclarke2957 it happened at 16:35 he was probably excited about the Master Ball that's why he missed it
They’re just reveres lol don’t get the hype on those just because they have the balls
@@Rynik05 they have texture tho reverses don't have texture
The prices of these are insane just for one box of eeveelutions which aren't guaranteed any good pull rates
$2000 being half a case of pc etbs is actually scary lol
scary? what r u scared of the pokemon monster chasing you? what the hell are u talking about
@@ram1420 so the scary part is $2000 is a lot of money for the average person to just spend on their hobby and 5 pc etbs should cost way less than $2000. That is like 55 packs for $2000. Correct me if I'm wrong!
A case of PC etbs is 4....
@@SomeoneNamedMark oh man teensy tiny cases
that's one full case
I love these types of videos! Not only are they more interactive and informative but also allow the viewer to experience the world of Pokémon purchasing. Thank you
BINDER COLLECTION !!!!!!! Subscribed & LIked!!!! 5:39
Letssss gooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@Coooodddeeeyyyy😂😂😂
The worst batching issue I ever experienced was with Stellar Crown. Pulled over 10 of the Terapagos EX cards
16:33 you pulled both a pokeball and a masterball but missed the pokeball
their so common it doesnt really matter
@@billyfisher6072 Well he made a big deal out of it later in the video, so...
This is absolutely insane prices for this set, and I agree it will most likely drop down once the hype is dead
Hype will never die
@ it may die down due to the pull rates man 😭
@saraheg07 That will make people open more 🙌
@@DoctorDimes true, everyone’s bank accounts will be empty bc of the two new sets 😭
@saraheg07I'm stoked 🙌🙌
It’s crazy how much popularity pokemon cards gained over just a few months.
Me too think about it's
I'm thinking it's cuz of Pokemon Pocket. Like even a lot of my friends got back/are interested in collecting now and are asking me for tips since I was the only one in the group collecting pokemon cards
It's Pokemon Pocket mostly. My friends have been trying to collect real cards because of it and it's actually annoying. All they do is send me photos ALL THE TIME of their normal ex cards and talk about how good they are at collecting. They just buy random boxes and don't research the sets at all. They keep asking me how much stuff is worth. I've been collecting for years and I'm not gatekeeping, but if someone doesn't want to do their own research on the sets then I'm not willing to help them.
One last Tiktok pump and dump before potential ban. So many drop shipped sellers potentially banned. All attempts to avoid legitimate employment a bit longer. Let's hope 2025 is the death of the box break scam.
Supporters give the same vibe as Paldean Students in PAF, but in P.Fates we also had shiny full arts and shiny ARs, when this set has no full art poks at all :/
This set will be bigger than skies
Yeap esp with the pull rates as bad as they are
Nah the set sucks, evo has insane artwork in it this is just shit set, only people hyping it up is scalpers to make some short term money
For ppl who keep it sealed its very good that SIR are rare. There is a reason ppl love to play the lottery/jackpot games. Its the "what if i pull the 10 000 usd god pack" feeling that will cause the prices of sealed to skyrocket when this is out of print
@@ApostleThe344true. Will make stuff super rare
I would love to see a full tour of all your collections. Not just the pokemon but the graded games, yugioh, disney, and other collectibles
I so badly wanted him to say, "bro, what? you can get double..you can get double balls?" lol I def wanna see the updated collection vid!
A collection video would be super cool to see. With your years of collecting, there will probably be sets I have never seen.
Fiance and I just got into the hobby since we were kids. Hype is real but the pull rates seem rough. Thanks for the video!
I really hope the prices will drop, even though the droprates suck it makes the sar's even more special. Love the vids lately
And whats funny is Terastal Festival packs are $10CAD (dunmow how much they are usd) and youre guaranteed a hit in every pack and a SIR in every box. To me, the japanese version will always be better for collectors
Agreed that prices kinda crazy for this new release set (not even officially released yet), but for my country here many members of the community had placed their Pre-Order from LGS (Local Game Stores) and some were bulk order. However, what happened was alot of their PO was cancelled by the LGS and believed that the LGS cancelled POs so as to resell it to outside at the "current market" price which is about 3x of the PO price.
Thank you for showing the comparisons with stores like Target. I appreciate that.
Yeah, price surge is really insane. We hobbyst just want to enjoy some pack openings, and some stands in the 10-20 max number range per expansion. Knowing that there's very little affordable MSRP priced products left on the Earth is very very sad😢
Rev, you're an absolute champ for going through this. It's incredibly sad to hear all the insanity going on with this set. It's been hyped for so long, and to see [this] degree of scalping, bad batches, horrible pull rates, impossible to find Eeveelutions...absolute sad. Especially after seeing the Japanese boxes yield much better.
I swear that the prices are so high because the set hasn't officially been released yet, so there are only a few boxes going out into the public. I think that on January 17, when these are officially released by pokemon, there will be more packs to go around, and the price will drop.
I do hope they make the pull rates for SARs better. That's crazy.
The binders look awesome as well as the stickers packs
Love this video! Really enjoyed how you showed how inflated pricing is. The hype is insane! ❤
I would definitely love to see a collection video… it’s wonderful how passionate you are about the pokemon hobby ❤🎉😊
Need that binder collection and poster collection 🔥
It's kinda sad that this is such a bad time to collect pokemon. I js feel like it never used to be so expensive, and the fact that we're being forced to pay $15+/per pack of a literal unreleased set is crazy.
Just getting back into collecting pokemon cards and it's rough for someone wanting to start again, especially as someone who plays MTG where thats also getting really expensive as each year passes. I don't even care about reselling anything I just like how much prettier Pokemon is than magic and the foils are so much better.
I am hoping that if everyone just holds out long enough the scalpers will be bored and move on to the next thing and prices will be better. Unfortunately that might look like not being able to get the next few sets but if that means in the future we can actually open stuff at a reasonable price it may be worth
That binder is beautiful!!❤
16:03 it’s not in this, it’s from a starter deck in japan
Along with the pikachu and snorlax EXs etc
You're so right about the market being crazy. Can't see this being sustainable!!
Hopefully the rates improve in the future, Great video for info on this
Man I started collecting again during crown zenith I didn't think I would see a set go this crazy.
Hit rates are insane in this set. Always grateful for the content, thank you!
I feel like the pull rates are the same as past SV sets but we have a lot less full art cards, which is what a lot of people think as hits. Pokeballs and masterballs aren't too bad, but I'd prefer gettinf full illustrations for masterballs if its just the pokeball but more shiny.
For the poster collection you can buy a different etb for less
Man that Pokemon Nintendo 64 memories. Would love to see a room tour of your collection
Batching issues aren't a huge issue when a kid can buy 4 packs at the store at MSRP and enjoy them for that it is. Its only an issue for grown adults buying pallets of them only to resell.
Love that you’re giving back to people! Scalpers are insane now
This is just insane, there’s no way these prices are staying like this. Also, please do a collection tour!
I would love for these prices to drop. Getting one of those binder collections & one etb would be so awesome. Just 1, but the price must drop!!
Good luck everyone!
The binder collection is so cute ❤
I preordered the binder but after seeing that poster set with those promos I wished I got that as well. They're so pretty!
new to the scene me and my 6 yr old boy started around Christmas ! love the content!
The little accessory bag is super cool
Just found you through this Prismatic Eeveeloutions pulls saga and I like your stuff! 🎉
Also your collections and set up are sweet!! 😊
yessir youre pumpin video's left and right! appreciate the hard work you put it, i love coming home and relaxing and watching you rip some packs. helps me because i always wanna go buy and rip cards but cant find them ahaha
Awesome video love how you’re always giving back to your supporters
These prices are crazy for a product that is not yet out. Hopefully it gets more accessible to everyone
Man these prices are insane. I’m just glad I managed to pre-order an etb at standard retail price before they sold out 😅
pull rates for 2nd / 3rd print run might get better....who knows
the eevee binder is so cute!!
