Rudy here is what happend with Roaring Skies: Reason why the price of the box was that high was due to the TCG, Shaymin EX was played in EVERY deck and were 70-100 dollar a card. The reprint happend close to rotation, so the set both got reprinted PLUS Shaymin rotated, so it lost all its value EDIT: Also Base set 2 dont have a 1st edition version
@Joseph Fruge there are basically 2 formats for pokemon: standard and expanded. Standard gets rotated every competitive season and usually consists of 6-7 of the most recent sets.
Rudy, I am someone who is incredibly involved in the pokemon hobby and there are a few things I wanted to say. Pokemon sealed product out preforms magic sealed product 9/10 times in the long run. There are multiple sets of pokemon over 10 grand for a box (examples: skyridge, 1st ed neo destiny, ex deoxys, team rocket returns, etc) and even product from 5-10 years ago is doing insane numbers. Flashfire came out in 2014 and is already $500+ a box. Call of legends came out in 2011 and is 2.5k a box. etc etc etc where pokemon struggles quite a bit is with singles. Because pokemon is printed so much and yet is played so little, there are so many singles on the market so it takes some time for the cards to get pricey once they are out of rotation (yes there are exceptions but this is a general idea). If I was in your position, I think approaching pokemon in the same manner as you have been doing with magic, selling half within the first couple months of release and holding, you would see numbers that would, again, out preform your magic boxes. You even mentioned Ultra prism, that box is currently selling for $180+ and it came out in 2018.
I can't agree more. As a collector, I wish I had purchased more boxes and packs in the past. If I had Rudy's capital right now, I would go in heavy on the boxes from the last 5-10 years and continue to hold large positions as new sets get released. Sealed Pokemon boxes are practically guaranteed to go way up in value, given enough time.
There were people who invested in Cynthia. Then the new draw 7 supporter came and Cynthia's dying. Next rotation's gonna be epic, because I like Cynthia and my Cynthia binder's gonna be happy.
@Pokemon2019 describing the state of the hobby is not "ruining" the hobby. This is something I am incredibly passionate about and I found an opportunity to share my knowledge with a comment section that is actively involved in learning about various hobbies, including the one I pride myself in. If you think forcing people out of a hobby is good for it then that is your own prerogative but it is not one that I share.
Rudy you and smpratte need to collaborate finally, I’d love for you and him to discuss some of the old Pokémon product (especially since he’s been showing off more magic lately). He’s great, you’re great, seems like a match made in the ivory Pikachu over Seattle
Rudy, I’ve never owned a magic card in my life, but I’ve been watching your videos for the past 6 months because I love your analysis of the collectors market. I love vintage Pokemon and I’m so pleased you’ve done a video on it! Please do more vintage Pokemon videos! (Don’t step on Scott’s toes tho :D)
I really like these Pokémon content videos Rudy, as I have been dabbling a little bit with it. Please continue to make them I believe it will also help grow your channel.
If I knew the vintage WOTC booster boxes would be blasting off again like Team Rocket, I would have bought way more than I did from a couple years ago. The prices from 2-3 years ago was expensive, but now were at insane tech bubble prices where it doesn't make any sense to open any of these packs with there being 99% chance you lost money if you open the pack.
@@TheeNextLevel9000 I know. Every time I see these “influencers” posting “THE $10000 BOX OPENING” it hurts my heart. They are destroying the population of sealed product that is left, and are risking taking total losses. They act as if a card is pulled from a pack, it’s an instant “PSA 10” that will fetch them enough money to pay for the box. I’m dipping into modern Pokémon (I have a large collection and have been collecting for years, because I love Pokémon and the lore), but I’m following Uncle Rudy’s advice. Not breaking my bank, just getting 1-2 boxes of new sets, but leaving them sealed. These people trying to flip boxes and busting boxes and clamoring for “PSA 10” cards are nuts...
I remember realizing this channel was satire when you advocated for all modern product in the greatest boom of vintage. Of the hundreds of thousands of booster boxes printed, most sets have single digits available on eBay. Nostalgic demand in its purest form.
Somewhere, in Florida, there is a bathroom. In this bathroom there is a stockpile of highly valuable vintage pokemon cards. This fall... Starring Nicolas Cage.... It's... National Trasure: Ultra Prism Boogaloo
i collect the same thing. the biggest thing if you can find it is aquapolis boxes/packs. its like $500+ a pack and ive still got 12 sealed boxes (2 cases) and some loose packs unweighed. if you find those buy them up if you can.
Funny that you mention the message boards. Pokemon and MTG message boards are night and day. It's absolutely mind blowing. I like both games and the attitude.. the people..the tone is truly night and day.
God no, they're destroying MTG with an abundance of so many products and just reprinted Black Lotus for commanders. People are pissed, Hasbro overlords want as much money as possible and gameplay is becoming less and less important to them. Am thankful Nintendo is running Pokemon. It won't be going anywhere.
Welcoming the buys with open arms rudy! Nostalgia wins with Pokemon well more than Magic. Instead of playablily or rarity only Pokemon SORES with the nostalgia. As Gem Mint said above, it's in it's purest form in the Pokemon community. As you said, the communities are much more pleasant as well :D. Come join us as e4ProBoards!
nppokemon I definitely agree, I’ve been in magic for years and upon transferring to Pokémon I’ve experienced a lot more positivity. And prices based entirely on nostalgic (with a mix of rarity like gold stars and shining) it’s a lot more sustainable
I agree with your thoughts on spreading your investments out. I personally collect original theater issued movie posters. With a specific focus on Disney, Horror, and the 80s. As the years have gone by, I have managed to collect/invest/horde around 600 different posters. And with the strength of Disney as a whole for example, they have continued to age very nicely. Just like the card world, condition is everything. Rarity is also key. Anyhow, slightly off topic. But diversity is key.
Could you make a video going into more detail about the differences in the community, and any impact on the market you think that those differences might be responsible for? Also, a foreign pokemon box? Did you say you think it's French? If you're holding, doesn't that go against your general investing standards and practices?
Yo alpha what agoooood investment u did on vintage pokemon boxxes they are going threw the roof , plus just saw your BATHROOM FULL OFF pokemon stuff should check the prices for them they went alll up crazy .
I am sad that I didn't stay pokemon train longer. I was wondering what you thought about adventure time card wars? With the show being over and the type of people that liked the show I see likening the cards even just to play and be light hearted.
So i've been dumping money into sealed Argent Saga boxes. Mostly Betrayal 1.0 boxes. It's the first set and the print run is super low. And they will never be printed again because they got replaced by the 2.0 boxes Am i crazy???
He says NOT EVEN FIRST EDITION! While talking about Base set 2. Rudy you are out of your element. Joking. As a pokemon collector your insight on the market is cool from a vintage MTG investor.
Pokémon surprised me when I looked to buy a box in summer 2019 and they continued to grow until today. Very limited supply on wotc and EX boxes. Extremely hard to find
Yeah, try finding Ultra Prism Boxes for under $150-$200 minimum. Good luck. Especially with the set still in Standard legal play and being out of print since day one. Also, Skyridge and Aquapolis sets, as well as any of the Neo Series (first edition or unlimited) are incredibly difficult to get ahold of and are easily $10k plus boxes. Skyridge itself rivals Base Set in price on many levels.
Base set boxes are dime a dozen. Could buy one for 3500-3800 all day, and almost any non English 1st ed box for 4.5-5.5k (besides spanish which is cheaper). Skyridge boxes are hitting towards 19k+ now and good luck even finding a seller that does not want 25k+ at the moment. It being the last wotc set and it's such short print run with amazing artwork and boxes toppers.
Somewhere in a tub of stuff from a desk that got packed up over, umm yeesh 15 or 20 years ago now I guess it is. I have a very first printing Charizard from that very first release I pulled from a pack. I immediately put that in one of those old school stupid thick ultra pro card holders with the screws in four corners. You all know the one if you played or collected cards back then, it would have been whatever the summer/fall was that the 1rst Edition hit the States. Anyway I remember it because my son and I pulled 2 or 3 of them from that first box so I really didn't take it serious. I gave him 2 of them to play and trade and stuck that one on my desk in that stupid expensive display brick/holder just to look at it and smile from time to time at the fun we had with that very first box. I remember it was also weird and what I thought may have been a misprint because it had these weird type of shadow box like bevels to the art around the edges or frame of the art. Anyway I wonder if it's worth finding that thing in all the crap from moves we've made in the past that has now been moved at least 3 times resting in that same tub with all the other stuff from that old desk. Anyone know if it's worth anything, not that I'd every sell it. Hell that's one of the reasons it's remained packed away, that way I wouldn't be tempted to sell it as I did my play sets of Power 9 or assorted sets of Dual Lands that now my Old Retired ass could have really retired in style by selling. Instead of the few grand I got for my collection back in '03 or '04... Anyway thought I'd share my memories just for the hell of it and give Rudy some traffic as far as the TH-cam interaction...
*BASE SET ALPHA EDITION JUNGLE GYM INVESTMENTS* Honestly though, I've waited for this day. Lowkey always wanted to know the extent of your position within the older PTCG product was. Now I know. In my personal opinion Trainer Rudy, you don't need to follow Pokémon. You're parking your capital in a poké-perfect place. "Pokétubers" are ripping through this kind of stuff so fast that I don't think people realize how quickly the population of sealed product is likely dwindling... Or maybe I'm just on the hot sauce. Anyways, the Pokémmunity welcomes everyone, but especially you, with open hairy arms. Can you take me into your bathroom now? 🖤
The WOTC booster boxes I was buying up 2-3 years ago have 4X-5X their value, which is an insane amount to go up by in that short period of time. I should have built an even bigger position when these WOTC booster boxes were going for $500-600 on average other than Base Set. I still think the prices are in a bubble, but as more and more people are opening the vintage booster boxes combined with some collectors who will buy and will never sell, scarcity will only grow.
I am trying to find dutch, unlimited fossil pokemon cards. For some reason, almost every card I see are 1st editions.. It's like they are almost not produced in dutch.
Ok. If Rudy is making a Pokemon video again (yeah I know he did it a couple years ago... I bought Pokemon from him), but if he is doing it again now.... That means he really does see MtG starting to implode. This is a little bigger than people realize.
If Rudy is shocked by 1st ed Gym Challenge, wait until he sees the prices of sealed Neos, e series, and ex series boxes.
Lol like Skyridge
Right lol
And eseries WOTC
E series will blow his mind XD
@@nicorans451 thats what i posted (look up skyridge if you can even find a sealed box ) shits crazy xd
Rudy here is what happend with Roaring Skies:
Reason why the price of the box was that high was due to the TCG, Shaymin EX was played in EVERY deck and were 70-100 dollar a card.
The reprint happend close to rotation, so the set both got reprinted PLUS Shaymin rotated, so it lost all its value
EDIT: Also Base set 2 dont have a 1st edition version
Yeah that late reprint of roaring skies was brutal!
Super important post ^ Pokemon competitive scene is much different from Magic. Once a staple gets rotated out, it is dead.
@Joseph Fruge there are basically 2 formats for pokemon: standard and expanded. Standard gets rotated every competitive season and usually consists of 6-7 of the most recent sets.

Pokemon vintage is in the middle of a spike right now. Prices have soared for about 6 months. Sealed, PSA, everything.

There's no First Edition for Base Set 2.

that bothered me aswell :D

where do you guys get to buy these boxes from people (other than ebay) antique sales, garage sales, wonder if there is something like this in uk
Hey Rudy, just letting you know that there's no 1st edition Base set 2. The set is already a reprint of earlier cards, thus they had no 1st edition.
You need to get the neo sets, sky ridge and legendary collection. Super super valuable
Love the Pokemon content you produce on the channel, looking forward to seeing more.
Under eBay sold, Ultra Prism boxes are all selling for over $150. Kinda crazy for how new they are

As a set collector Gym Challenge and Gym Heroes drives me nuts because they have the same number of cards in the set and very similar set symbols.
Come on over to the Pokemon community Rudy we welcome everyone no judging . You could crack the box and sell the packs and make a profit .

Do you have any sun & moon base set booster box and xy base set booster box?
Thanks for the life lessons, Rudy. Really appreciate it!
