- In this video on pokemon card investing I go over a bunch of frustrations I have in the pokemon card world at the moment, including another lacklustre set of twilight masquerade.
Thanks everyone who shares the investing channel around, it really means a lot!

The fact you only have 12k subscribers is madness! Keep up the great work, mate
Thanks heaps mate, really appreciate it!
Good vibes mine we need people like you! Sick of jelous prats hating!
@@theoneandonlyconnection appreciate it bro!
The other possible positive is taking this period as a breather, enjoying the collecting side getting one of every booster box and letting cash build up. Buffet welcomed these potentially long periods, while other managed funds felt they had to deploy their cash to keep their investors happy. Another bonus with cash here is that it then actually earns an income!
Some really sound advice there mate, thanks for the comment! 👌
Twilight Masquerade is exactly the kind of set people say is mid until it’s out of print.
I get that people are burned out. And I’m by no means trying to say that people should “buy buy buy”. But TWM feels similar to a mid-SM where the top cards were trainers, except this set has Art Rares that people will eventually fall in love with. Anyone’s who’s pacing themselves will find value in TWM and all these other sets people think are mid.
Yeah it's not a bad set. People were disappointed with the Ogerpon SIR's but take them out and there's still tons of cool cards. I quite like how it doesn't feel like a traditional Pokemon card set, it's very unique in the look of some of the cards. You're right, it'll get there.
It really depends what surrounds it as well. I mean what's to say the following sets are all 'mid' too in collectors eyes. Then we could leave with temporal forces and paldea evolved being the top main sets from the era.
PokeOz the type of guy to hold his homies hand on the rollercoaster! 🎢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Screw rollercoasters, I can't handle the damn teacups!
🤣🤣🤣
My wallet needed this SooOOOooooOoo bad!!! I basically have like 2-3 months to save up money or invest in other stuff!!
Agreed
Scarlet and violet has definitely given some time to go harder into sword and shield!
PokeOz, your opinion,knowledge and experience on the hobby is second to none in my eyes much appreciated my old mate 💙
Thanks so much man!
S&V has some very good standard illustrations but they aren't rare enough. The SIRs have been rather poor. The fact that Magikarp is the top S&V chase card speaks volumes
Totally agree. Weird they departed so far from some of the amazing latter sword and shield sets..
151 still needs more time to appreciate both in value and collector interest. Everyone that joins the hobby over the next 4-5 years is going to be chasing 15-20 cards from 151 that they will want to add to their sets.
@@julietbausemer agreed. 151 is the standout by far
Temporal at least gave us some harder pull rates. It is funny that Magikarp is the number 1 chase hey 😅
My thoughts on the latter half of SV - if they do chained scenes in the SIRs between sets it will drive the price/sentiment up drastically. Imagine an era where we are not just hunting hits to complete sets, but rather hunting hits over multiple consecutive sets in order to complete a 30+ card mosaic. They've dabbled in this but if they really make it epic and go all-in, I believe SV could be the greatest era to date. What u think?
Thanks for speaking out. I agree. Scarlett and Violet needs to hit us with a banger or two and quickly.
Exactly right!
The great thing about cheap, abundant product is that it will get into people's hands who will then become Pokemon fans forever and be buying our old product in the future years once they branch out of S&V. On top of that there are scalpers, flippers and investors leaving product alone which means even more supply. This is good for the hobby overall and good for investing long term, only scalpers and flippers suffer which I don't mind one bit as they add little value for the rest of us.
Very true mate!
I totally agree
Thanks legend!
I haven't been buying any of the new sets since 151. I have hope they are holding the heavy hitting big chase card sets for the final slots in the generation.
Let's see hey!
Targets and walmarts in the states are $5 for 1 pack to $7 a pack if it has a coin and promo
Wow! So dear hey.
I’m excited for the dragon set that is coming later this year, should be good. That have already announced Latias & Latios will be in the set
Sweet, 2 bangers there!
QC will only improve if demand suffers. Sportscards are the case study, prices have skyrocketed for sealed product and checklists have been super water down, so your EV is worse and worse each year post-2020 boom. No incentive to change if people keep buying / breaking. I also think people are hyper critical. The QC is disappointing (I agree 100%) but Scarlet and Violet has solid sets and their SIR’s beat out trainer gallery from sword and shield just not the alt arts. People were also hyper critical of sword and shield era sets now they are beloved…. (ES, fusion strike ect..) people love what goes up in value, so there is that bias. S & V hasn’t done that yet, but will.
Given enough time, and especially if some sets are short printed, they'll go up+
Very insightful. I agree 👍 this is the hamster wheel of ptcg. People bash most new sets (i believe this stems from our predisposition to be afraid of change) and then when they hit a certain scarcity people fawn over them. Grab your investment board and ride the waves 😊
I agree with most of what you said. Paradox is 266 cards - it’s very difficult to complete sets, if that’s your thing of course. As a fan of the games I’m torn as I like how they reflect/ celebrate the game. I do understand others want more early gen stuff. Perhaps it’s ok that these are not investment sets and are just for kids, collectors and players?
Kids would be loving opening Scarlet and Violet, I 100% agree. We also never know what time will do for a set, hey!
A key difference between the start of SWSH is that the Pokémon Company increased their manufacturing and printing capabilities in the US. With those now fully operational I would expect all of the SV sets to be reprinted or at least heavily printed to begin with…but we’ll see
Yep, pokemon own millennium print group now!
I am looking at the cards in Twilight and there are a solid amount of sick cards that I want from it! I think it’s looking like a really solid set
Paradox Rift is my favorite! That set is deeeeeep with cool cards
Glad you're loving the look of the set 👌
Im only buying a case of pokemon center etb's and thats it for twilight masquerade. Might try and get a couple of the hits as well
I'll definitely grab that Eevee!
If TPC stays on the same track for the second half, its possible temporal forces is our evolving skies and we just dont know it yet. But Id bet we see some more cool cards with non paldea pokemon and some higher pull rates with the megas.
I look forward to seeing what comes bro!
TWM as a whole is a bit disappointing, I will buy a booster box and a etb for the collection.
As for singles I like the Tatsugiri & Eevee illustration rares and that’s about it.
Top vid Michael 🤙
The Eevee is really nice hey! Thanks legend!
I do want a set that everyone can get excited about. The next one seems to be darkness based and is maybe a holiday set. Will it mean an umbreon card? I was trying to complete all the s and v sets - fates fixed that for me. 120 baby shinnies - out of my reach for sure
Haha it's way too many hey. Would love to see your collection with all those!
I for sure agree with your sorta tier list of scarlet violet era sets, sv base and OBF just don’t have cards that excite me, and their prices are so low per card that unless you just wanna open that set to open it it’s kinda pointless, paradox rift and paldea evolved at least have cards that are exciting and cards that are valuable, to me a good set is all about the hits, I want my favorite pokemon with super quality artwork and of course cards with heavy value are always fun to pull
Exactly right mate!
My attempt at a positive spin... Would a kid prefer a top chase card that has a 1/900 chance of a pull and 60% chance of a 10 or a 1/250 and 35% chance of a 10? Seems like the SV sets are going to be more fun to open even if the quality has taken a bit of a hit. For the collectors, getting a 10 is still a tough hit so the set still has a top hit with some value
That's a different take on it for sure man!
This is why I buy 99% vintage(yes, it can get pricey), but imo it's worth it. These newer sets have no life to them. Look at the vintage 3 pack blisters; different packs from different eras at times even. And the promos are fire. Like nowadays, pokemon is just releasing sets like it's on auto pilot.
Are you talking modern vintage or wotc era man?
100% agree! As a Master Set Collector myself, there are too many sets and too many cards in each set. If there were fewer, larger sets... OK. If there were more smaller sets... OK. But by the time a get my teeth into one set, the leaks for the next set are already out. I mean, c'mon...
Yep, exactly right mate!
Hey PokeOz, idea for your next video(s) background:
Arrange your ETBs according to colour as best as possible. Might be interesting to see how it will look 😎
Switch it up, you reckon! Man, it takes so long to move them around 😅
This new set is for TCG players not collecting, that's the same reason there is more sets. The game was created to be played not make money off of. I see each side because I do both. But the pokemon company will always favor there player base first...
I see MTG as a purely player based TCG where as I see Pokemon as a hybrid for both collectors and players 👌
Poke Oz the guru of the hobby🎉
Thanks legend 😌
quantity is a quality of its own.
I guess so 😌
I've only ever pulled 1 rainbow card, the Blastoise from Unbroken Bonds, and I loved it. I sold it for pre-fees $160.
Nice mate!
There are some older Pokemon in this set. Zapdos, Lairon, JigglyPuff, Eevee, and some guest appearances from Snorlax, Bellsprout, etc. just gotta know where to look 😉
The Eevee is amazing!
@@pokeoz91 There’s so many awesome cards in this set. Not too keen on the Masks but the some of the IR’s and SIR’s are beautiful. Pull rates aren’t the easiest. I opened 2 Booster boxes and the quality control is probably there worst I’ve seen in S&V sets so far.
Trainer Ryan thinks the set may be short printed at the moment due to poor allocation fulfilments. Think I’ll buy a case. Fingers crossed the sets move on up from here.
Too true
👌👌
Brother it has always been like this. The first like 5 sets of an era featuring mostly the newer Pokémon until they notice nobody likes them and they start going back to older Pokémon like in Evolving Skies.
It does follow a similar trend, that's for sure!
To have memorable sets, there has to be lack lustre sets that put the good ones on a pedestal. If we only had great sets after great sets, nothing is great.
That's very true mate!
Where do you buy booster box cases for a good price ?
The guy I was getting them off is battling to get them now. I'm actually due to get some more and was about to suss out some options. Love the magnetic acrylic ultra pro cases.
You hit it over the head with this one. Agree 100% S&V is very lackluster compared to SWSH. I haven’t seen any nicely cut corners YET. Frankly idk how any “10’s” are true 10’s at this point.
Yep, every card is average. I mean, it's not the worst thing. It'll drive up psa 10 prices...
I got the rainbow mew from fs and it was bent pack fresh the quailty is much worse.
Ah man, that sucks!
So far I think 151 has left the biggest impact on Pokemon enthusiasts since the S&V era has began. Having somewhat difficult pull rates with chase cards people actually want goes a long way.
Biggest set by a long shot!
It is honestly too much. To collect and invest every three months is a very quick turnaround. Plus I try to pick up a little bit Lorcana and they are on an every 3 month set drop as well. Hard to keep up at times.
Oh yeah, Lorcana is cool hey!
We are all just waiting for S & V's version of Evolving Skies to hit. I think we'll just know when we get a glimpse after sooooo many weaker character sets this far. A "Yep, take my money set".
Similar to 151 but a main set with a mix of different gen pokemon including paldean pokemon, that's what we need
Hey PokeOz I want to become a channel member can’t see a “join” button due to an ios glitch. Can you post a link to your membership page in your bio? Should be a workaround. If not all good, keep up the awesome vids man!
Hey legend, really appreciate that! I think you should be able to join on Android or a pc. It glitches on Apple for some reason.
Could you post a link to the membership url in your bio? Apple products can join that way.
@@SteveF3798 will do mate!
Packs at walmart in the u.s are $5
Dearer than I thought!
Completely agree on TWM.
Nice arts, but overall a very mid set.
Agree mate!
Just so u know everyone thought chilling regin was a mid set and everyone thought that blazikian vmax alt art was a joke of a card and know one cared about it. I would agree that they are releasing to many to quickly but saying their isn’t a chase is crazy to me. Not everything has to be high price just so you know even evolving skies umbreom vmax used to be a 100£ and people said that expensive as well. I’m not hating but just so you know I think it’s a bit of exaggeration of what ur saying maybe just me who knows 🤷♂️
20 years from now those kids that are wow'd by the rainbow and gold cards will be the ones seeking them out as adults.
Let's hope so, it'll add more weight to the sword and shield boxes we have!
Just wait until they release a SHINY MEGA CHARIZARD X ALT ART this year.
U mean next year? Coz the game comes next year...
I hope scarlet and violet really kicks into gear next year!
@@pokeoz91 dido mate! Love your content btw👌
Basically said sweet f all
For us Pokémon fans, the more cards the better.
So many to chase though man! 😅
So, put on your running shoes. Gotta Catch’em All!
There isn’t one card that I think looks nice in mask of change
It's a battle hey!
Off topic but have you seen the video that okjluv made calling you out?
I did man. He shot me an email asking to come on the channel yesterday morning with nostalgia nomics and Opposis Bud but I had to work the day job unfortunately. I'm not sure if the video went ahead or not?
You can't expect me to buy every pokemon case
Just a couple of Booster Boxes then 😉
Towards the end of the video when you said Pokémon should be trying to excite the consumers and pull them. Twilight mascarade is not that set. I couldn’t help but laugh. They need to stop giving us crap, improve the quality and delete Ogerpon from existence. I will say the print quality on temporal forces has been good for the most part. A lot of the art rares are not centered.
Its definitely not hey!
Call me crazy but i don't like the Greninja S.I.R. AT ALL!
And I love Greninja but that card is just a mess of colours where I can't make out the shape of anything in it...
I agree, it is hard to make it out!
Twilight masquerade is a big disappointment for me, 4 SIR slots wasted on a lame Pokémon is a shame imo
I mean sure, give us 1 but fill the other 3 slots up with something else 👌
Should be a short print
We'll have to wait and see!
@@pokeoz91 let's hope so. This set is so ihly
garbage SAR, with these pull rates I would be pissed off to get one of those ugly masks. I might still get a box if it gets cheap just for my collection. At least there are a few nice illustration rares.
The Eevee and Infernape are nice but there's not much else hey!
@@pokeoz91 I like the photographer and arcanine, the eevee and some of the OG pokemon that got illustration rares. not much else.
PokeOz the type of guy if his buddy asked a girl out and she said no he’d say lets go see star wars its the anniversary.
Very true! 😅
It's coming in September good sir. Paradise Dragona will be the one that turns everyone into psychos. Chomping at the bit and fomo and price gouging and all that fun stuff the investors love to see. So don't worry your time in the sun is coming again soon.
I think it's going to be a holiday set isn't it? But still, can't wait!
Yeah September I believe nonetheless it will be massively popular. We all know what a dragon set means.
@@The_Card_Father can't wait!
I mean if u keep expecting ES its gonna keep disappointing yourself and the DLC run of SV hasn’t ended yet. Nothing of surprise here and ofc the special set for english is gonna get roasted into the ground i can tell 😂
I can feel a nice set coming!
Do you have a Twitter?
I do but I never go on there. I think it's Pokeoz 🤔
Im really thinking tf and pr dont get a huge reprint. Im not guessing anymore I just buy em all when no one wants them
One set from scarlet and violet will surely miss out!
This set looks so ugly.
Absolutely horrendous set
It hasn't done anything for me. There is a few nice trainers and SIRs though.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with TM.. is it worse than Forbidden Light (6th s&m set) No… is it worse than Chilling Reign & Roaring skies? Even go back to B&W and Dragons Exalted… the 6th set from all the previous eras.. And say it’s worse than all them? 😑😂😂
People will be sheep and follow the herd… it happened with Evolutions, Chilling Pain, Fusion Pain.. All were shit sets “not investable” and hated by the masses… Lone behold then 5 years later (for evolutions) and 2 ish years later for fusion and chilling and now look at the prices for “shit sets”.
The first 3 B&W era sets are four figure boxes. No one with a brain can say anything from SV so far is worse than those 3 B&W sets. People and content creators need to expand their horizon past the SWSH era and see SV is off to the best start to any era in history of the TCG and realize that sets having cards not worth more than the booster box is how it was for every era before all the money bros came in during SWSH 😮💨
Yup its crazy how people only think stonks = good set nowadays its pretty lame lol
I just did a whole video a few weeks back stating Scarlet and Violets first sets are all better than sword and shields first sets 👌
The voice of wisdom, thanks!💪🏻
Bro you are getting delusional. This kind of financial advice is getting ludicrous. Behave
Haha will do 😎
Oh wow another set without a Charizard, eeveelution or Gengar alt .... the world is gonna end!! Pokemon is doomed!!! Shut up and stop complaining. Pokemon doesn't make sets so that you can make money. They are selling more than ever and ar'nt worried about your bank account. So tired of the whining
A study of 31 stores reported a huge decline in the ability to shift product, with margins dropping significantly compared to S&S. Also, yes it's a players game, but it's also a collectors game. And the mass, rushed printing and huge increase in sets makes it harder for collectors to enjoy and find value.
Yea the state of poketubing is pretty sad lmao
@@pokeoz91the game is in a great state competitively and investors are making more money than ever right now. I have no clue what you’re crying about. Sword and shield is skyrocketing and SV is still too new to even call it an investment. How can you actually be complaining ?
@WeyHighDesigns I'm not sure I complained about any of those points? I never complained about sword and shield sky rocketing. My complaints were about set size, frequency, and the lack lustre nature of new sets, namely TWM. Just feels like it's been pushed out for the sake of another set being pushed out. And none of them were personal complaints, I'm fine with the state of the hobby and navigating it. It was more a voice for other / collectors wanting to complete sets or feel they're getting value. It's a nightmare!
@@pokeoz91 I mean your title is literally pokemon investing frustrations but ya okay. I guess the title was for clickbait sakes. Seems like any other set to me. Pokemon needs to make money. They can’t just slow down the frequency for no reason. They have shareholders and investors. Maybe a few lackluster sets in there for sure but every block has some duds. There’s only so many pokemon that people get hyped for and if you over use the in every set people just complain about that also. I think Nintendo is doing a great job balancing everything. Collectors investors and players are all pretty happy right now from everything I’m seeing and hearing. I’m at tournament events and card conventions all the time. Hobby is in a great spot overall.
In my opinion, they augmented the quality of the common cards in Mask of change, lot of them are very beautiful, even better than the alternate full art.
I like needing more time to admire an “insignificant “ common, instead of actually ignoring them.
I agree, some commons art is amazing!
