I could see a Japanese strategy where someone only considers buying the special sets. English booster box main set, Japanese booster box specialty
Literally what I am doing xD, But I also add Pokemon Center ETBs only not original unless I dig the artwork! example Vivid Voltage. And I love adding triple blisters and sleeved blisters :)
That's definitely the best way. Just pick and choose depending on the set. Going all in on one or the other feels like you're limiting your options.
This is probably the best video on Pokémon investing on TH-cam right, no emotion, no agenda, no stupid baseless claims - I’ll defs share this one my dude
The man the myth the legend! Really appreciate that brother!
IDk Japanese cards seemed to be made for the customer/collector more, the cards we all know are much better quality, if you grade for 9's and 10's Japanese cards are great and I also find the hit rates for great cards are just way better, less bulk and even the bulk cards are such good quality, me I don't play the game like most collectors, I like the art work and Japanese is the best for that
Japanese is modern 1st edition. I'll gladly stock up on cool arts for cheaper than English!
Collect what you like man...
Regardless of the video bro just wanted to say I like how you’re pumping out content ! One these days I want to catch you doing some rips on a live break !
Really appreciate it brother. Every Thursday 7pm central for the breaks.
Everyone is hating on Shiny Treasures. I still think it's cool. I was able to buy some at MSRP. 😎
Great message. There’s just too many plays for us to focus on them all. Sometimes it’s important to stick to what you believe in / know best.
That’s what I tell people too - there may be plays in other things but I don’t always have the resources to explore other things.
Not sure why this is controversial.
It really shouldn't be but it is... strange hobby we are in these days 😅
I will have to check that data myself because I keep hearing conflicting sides.
I don’t understand how you need to continue to explain the same thing.
You only speak facts, with hardcore facts behind it.
I can hear you talk all day about the plays and it makes so much sense. ❤
Appreciate that man
The one Japanese set I really like and buying is the 151 set, mostly because it has something the English set doesn't have, master ball reverse holos. I really wish they included that in the English set.
Appreciate the advice Nomics!
The specialty set difference with bundle option is why I'm grabbing up all the booster bundles I can from Crown Zenith. I've only ever seen them at Walmart and it seems like a secondhand product adaptation, but it's a great idea imo
My guy back at it again let’s talk about it !
English Pokemon is the way to go, but recently just got my hands on some PSA10 Japanese cards for the art work only because the English versions are too expensive.
Not gonna lie, I’m buying $27-33 JP boosters and 151 but also stacking English boosters. Trying to stay diversified😊
Same. Hard to turn down boxes that cheap. If they do nothing then you haven't lost much. Nice to mix a bit in with be English.
No way you’re buying jpn 151 for 33$ a box
@@UrAveragePlayer0 not 151 lol but other JP set
@@RektAtHeart which sets are you buying if you dont mind me asking in JP.
@@Christopher-ej6xr my average buy into 151 is $80. Stacking shiny treasures at $30 shipped. Picked up a small stack of cyber judge, ancient roar and future flash. Not the best sets but all under or at $30 shipped. Also grabbed some vstar universe for $53 shipped.
For the algorithm! Keep it up Alex !
Appreciate it
Hey, I’m a young guy from France passionate about Pokémon and I have a little money on the side that I want to use to invest, idk where to start or what to do… if you have any advice, on what, where or when should I buy things (I only have like a hundred bucks) thanks!
I would say to try to start off buying and selling to build more capital to invest with in the beggining.
Great video, i agree 100% about TCGs like Sorcery and One Piece. I'm new to Pokemon been in Magic for 25+ years and I've learned a lot from you.
Awesome to hear!
I think you've made some very reasonable points here. I will throw out there we've seen in the past where an English set card goes up a bunch in price and then the Japanese follows. Might be some plays there. Also if you have a Japanese set card that was made into a promo in English this may give the Japanese card more desirability due to it being the harder chase.
Buy Japanese PSA 9s because they're more scarce. Got it, thank you Alex.
Great video, appreciate your opinions!
Agree with it all! Special sets Japanese and the rest English and PC ETB 👌🏼
Been collecting Japanese since 2019. From that time until S&V Japanese booster boxes were good plays. All my sealed Japanese SW&SH have seen growth. S&V changed that, sellers were selling at a high price point the market correction has seen those sealed products fall in value. I overpaid for S&V, but still happy with my purchases in the SW&SH. Win some, loose some. With the gong show that is going on with 151 and price manipulation, it has turned me off of going so hard with Japanese and I'm going to focus on sealed English more.
I agree with you on the specialty sets and rare cards that English don’t have . I’m not gonna lie tho I collect certain cards in Japanese that are cheaper to get in a psa 10 then English but that’s just for my collection and not an investment lol 😂. But yes there are good plays with Japanese but it’s not everything lol do your research watch the market !
Absolutely 💯
Yeah I wanted those Baxcalibur art cards in 10's. Couldn't find any in English but you can get all three for under £100 in Japanese. Like you say probably not investable but it's a nice option.
Good point of view Alex. Keep being you bro!
Always man. Thanks!!
Love ur advice! Ur background is an inspiration 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Appreciate that!
Well said❤
Great vid as alvast 🤝🏼
when i see you upload! no hesitation. i watch.
Appreciate that!!
@@NostalgiaNomics Is this video done in relation to my question about jap bb in your last vid? if yes, I really appreciate your time making this vid. I understand your points and opinions so I may research more on this.
I LOVE your take on this and I completely agree, but you are incorrect when you say 20% of english gets psa 10, it's more like 60%+ get psa 10 in modern, that's why I mostly invest in BL. The print quality is much worse in english but not that bad lol
It depends... the IRs are much harder to grade than the SIRs and a lot of them have lower pop reports but I get what you mean.
New to your channel and loving the content. Factual and on point.
I feel the conversation from yesterday's live stream missed the point of your response video in using 10/20 years of historical data for investment and the hypothetical of if you compare dollar for dollar (even with matching 401k contributions) where the different investment streams would land you.
As I like your approach to videos, I'd really appreciate if you could share some recommendations of English speaking creators focusing on the Japanese Pokemon TCG markets.
I'm interested in building a foundation of knowledge before doing anything more than the one off collecting. I also prefer the Japanese products more so far after having multiple cards side by side in hand. Would love to arm myself with more knowledge and lower my risk. Your points about the differences in the BB are duly noted. Thank you looking into this and sharing the info.
Appreciate the feedback!
I unfortunately don't know too many on the Japanese side of things or I would give some recommendations. Sorry about that.
Good thinking to get more informed before making any moves!
@@NostalgiaNomics No worries. Thank you for getting back to me.
keep crushin it - love your content
Eh... English may sell faster, but japanese booster box prices go higher and do it faster. Lost Abyss recently sold on eBay for $190. They costed $35 at one point. That's about 5x. You aren't seeing that anytime soon on english side. In addition, more product isn't always good. There's a million booster boxes being held onto to dump later on the english side.
I think this was what Alex was harping on about. If you can get in at a good entry point then he would consider it especially now given the japanese boxes are going for below msrp.
Its all about a good entry point :) doesnt matter if english or japanese
Is Japanese 151 considered a specialty set? Also I think a huge buy is the Mew ultra premium collection on Walmart it is $90. That is a steal, only thing is they are massive so you will need a lot of room to store them
Yes it is becuase no booster boxes in English.
One thing I will say is for 151 Japanese set is way better than English. Print quality of Japanese is so much better and the master ball holo is amazing. English psa10s are much harder to get 10s than Japanese, which could have a huge influence in price. I am collecting both for sealed and graded cards but have a feeling Japanese will perform better. Master ball holo are just way more rare than any English 151 card. I honestly collect more for fun than investment though. The investment side of it is really just an excuse to spend money on cards 😂😂
Alex! On the subject of 151, at what price point would you be a buyer for a Japanese booster box?
I would look for $60 to $70
100% agree with you! I don’t collect English because I have no connection with it…I don’t like the quality, I don’t like the art more, colors looks dull and cheap, I don’t like feel of it….i don’t like the blue back, who needs a billion code cards and energies, pull rates are terrible. Japanese is just King. Point blank period.
What's your take on investing in sleeved boosters over booster boxes?
I still feel booster boxes are king but when the BBs appreciate and the sleeved haven't moved yet there could be a play there on some!
Like stocks (and any investments)…people have to set their emotions aside and look at the fundamentals and data…😎
I knew there was a problem back 6 months ago when everyone was trying to force me to get into Japanese and said how easy it is to make money etc .
Most of the people were trying to dump there single cards on me saying how good the quality is .
The funny part about that is that if there all perfect quality then no one cares about the rarity of the graded cards. Now they've plummeted ha ha ha
Any chance to do a Dragon Ball Fusion video? I have been looking at the market, but like you about Japanese cads, don't know where to start, also, not many TH-camrs on it as far as I can tell.
Alright I'll keep that in mind
Long time viewer, nice video
Question bro.. why do people keep mentioning my name? (Anderson authintics)? Is there another seller with that name?
I'm not on ebay, I do tcg, and I'm a new seller
Just curious , peace - will
For Real?!?! That's crazy! Yes they are a pretty large seller on ebay that usually has one of those lowest prices on products.
@@NostalgiaNomics oh lmao that explains it 🤣 😂 💀
Isn’t Japanese no rarity psa 10 worth more than 1st edition psa 10?
Japanese 151 total cards graded 275k, english 151 graded 103k. English is certainly more popular here, but its hard to make a blanket statement that its more popular worldwide. Just depends on what metric you want to use. English is usually harder to grade so the 10s usually carry a premieum.
What? English is produced for and sold in 40+ countries. Japanese is produced for and sold in just 1. It's widely known that English is the highest selling language of Pokemon cards.
@@JohnDoe-ld8nr TPC doesnt release statements with logistics in the way you might hope. Theres no "proof" that more english cards are made than japanese per year. Pokemon doesn't release print numbers in that fashion. Only way I could think of to get any glimpse at how many are made, are population reports. Japanese cards graded per set usually dwarf english. Not the most reliable metric, but I cant think of a much better one🤷♂️.
That’s crazy….. because Japanese Pokemon cards are always way better quality than the English version
Folks! He really did copy Rudy's intro
He's always had the Rudy intro lol
I think that's the point. Paying homage to the big man.
@labutter420 Right, that's Rudy's intro
L o L
What made me hate "investing" in japanese product is that nowadays there are a lot of people doing scummy things with importing products from japan to europe. In europe you have to pay rather high taxes (18%-25%) everytime you import things so if you are a criminal and declare incorrectly or use blackship etc you can obv get product way cheaper than the rest making it an very uneven playingfield which benefits criminals. That s why I sold 99% of my collection last year in june which turned out to be the perfect time. Another thing thats bad about japanese product is that there is no way to know if it s resealed or not no matter how much you know about the product there is no way finding out if it s good or not unless you open it but then again it s the same with most products(looking at magic etc.). Also the people investing in japanese product (outside of japan) realy suck most of the time or atleast i ve made a lot of shitty experiences.
I like this one already last 2 videos where a bit of a rant.
Appreciate that!
You name me an English booster box that has increased by 1000% in the last 4 years...I can name at least 3 Japanese sets that have. I know you dont like the fact you dont like the language. But lets face it you cant tell the difference between a Gallade and a Gardevoir.
i thought you gonna start the video by saying konnichiwa instead of folks. LUL
Damnit! I missed that opportunity 😟
I been in the hobby 4 years and I can already see that Japanese had a boom because it was cheaper during covid and English was crazy expensive and the wifu era . I seen it like common sense the English market stabilized and ppl went back to English 😂 simple market reading
Ya it's just hard to talk about becuase anyone who holds those things gets triggered so I try to just stay away from it...
@@NostalgiaNomics I’m already knowing brother . But they shouldn’t make you out to be the bad guy bro honestly you speak facts and with knowledge from years of investing . You give your best analysis of things about Pokemon . And honestly everything you say makes perfect sense to me. Specially if ppl watch the videos when you drop them with what’s currently going on . Cant wait for the next one have a good day brother 💯
And what has happened to vintage, and japanese, can and likely will at some point, happen to English.
Great take man keep up the good work!!!
FREE Tendies!!!
There is definitely opportunity in both. Personally I like that Japanese is cooling off. All I see is opportunity (if you know what you're doing). I've personally done extremely well with my Japanese plays dating back to 2017. Thus why I continue to add both Japanese and English plays.
In terms of collecting, Japanese cards just shit all over their English counterparts. English are basically wish versions in comparison.
🤣🤣🤣
Your going a little far with that one this made me laugh so hard . Honestly for your investment sake I hope it goes well for you . Everytime I look at English cards at 200 for a psa10 then see 40 psa 10 Japanese . One play I know that does exist tho is ppl get booster boxes for cheap open up a set that is not out yet in English and grade everycard from the set and sell high first to market . I noticed that is a huge play with Japanese with slabs . But as soon as the English cards come out and stabilize and get graded that market collapses and English cards go up and Japanese goes way down . So I have to admit I noticed some plays with Japanese not gonna lie and I do feel like quality is better as a whole . But I don’t believe the Japanese market will ever pass the English . Unless it’s a specialty set or certain card they don’t have in English or the wifu craze . English will always hold way more value to me in the end for sealed and slabs
at least he's honest japanese has originally never performed as well as english sealed that's the reality.....now that all the japanese pumpers are gone it's guaranteed to be a bad play unless you wanna hold a bag liquidity is very important and compared to english; the japanese market isn't as desirable....
You gotta give the collector youtubers some time to retaliate.
This video and Rudys video yesterday probbaly deleted all of their arguments of how pokemon isnt investable then they saw Rudys video ( position)😂😂😂
Thanks for constant Pokemon investment view points.
When it comes to japanese, you want the sets with the waifu's lol
a good rule is "invest in where you understand". I don't understand japanese so I don't invest in OP and pokemon versions.
GOAT
Opinion: I hope you continue to do well, too! Thanks for sharing all of your experience here with us.
Appreciate that! Same here
nice video, im on the side of liking English more aswell but for some reason the japanese promo cards are amazing, only thing i like collecting when it comes to japanese cards

English sealed, japanese/ English singles. End of debate
Well i guess No Domo Origato Mr Nomics for you. The hate for Japanese is so strong here. jk. Gotta cover what you Dig! There are more than enough Japanese or Korean, or even Simplified Chinese pokemon coverage channels out there.
Absolutely 💯
Much agreed, a MSRP of $40/box is a long way to fall for any Japanese sets still in print. And yes, also less liquid.
Arigato 😁
Always facts 💯 delusional people get in tune!
Korean Eevee heroes booster boxes to the moon! Forget the high prices of Japanese and English 😂
Wtf will do Star Wars for me if I collect Pokemon?
Haha
Nomics, you should do a bit of research before advancing arguments that are quite weak. Like one piece, pokemon japanese language is preferred than english for all Asian continent, do your math. Japanese Sword & Shield booster boxes relative to their msrp , have outperform english even in in scarlet & violet(english sells ar 30-50% discount, while japanese at msrp). I do collect both but lately im a bit nervous how the english market is overheating, probably symptomatic of a small bubble forming. Also sets like lost origin, I won't touch as stepmothers & ex wives have all but bought a case of it...not saying all the hype that pushed people to clean the pokemon center...meaning the supply must be huge, now like in the musical chair game, many will fall probably, the smarter are already selling.
If you look at those numbers only up until 2021 it tells a different story though. The last couple years have thrown things off and in my opinion are not indicative of the future so be careful is all I'm saying..
Not sure we are looking at the same data, look at lost origin japanese compared to its msrp , and compare it with the english one... there's many other 151 being the last..
@moonbreon lost origin wasn't even released until during the Japanese boom lol. I said look at data before this bubble formed. I am expecting things to return to that normal is what I am saying.
If you look at how sets from xy sm performed up until 2022 or so it's a very different story
Why don't you show the numbers, the current prices, 151 aside in Pokemon do not reflect your opinion.
go nihongo
That means Japanese
