Have a bunch of slabs I’m trying to move and didn’t feel like listing all of them. Just shipped out my first order to Arizona TCG and used the promo code.
Charizard UPC has awesome promos and Evo Skies packs. 151 UPC has awesome promos and 151 packs. These new UPCs have subpar promos and no packs on the level of Evo Skies or 151. These were immediate passes for me.
Pick one up for the personal collection and if it hits a high price down the road sell it off for profit. But don’t fill your closet with these. This is not 151 or Charizard upc.
I think long-term this UPC could do well, but I wouldn't compare it the Charizard UPC; the CUPC had Sword and Shield packs which held an opportunity for some of the most sought-after alternate art cards including Evolving Skies Packs which are in a league of their own as a set. This upcoming UPC has packs that are still readily available at this time, and the Promo Cards are not inspiring or breathtaking enough to persuade most people to insert Fry meme "Shut up and take my money!" I think if they made a UPC towards the end of Scarlet & Violet, and only included the top sets with some one-of-a-kind art on the Promo cards, that would be a better product overall.
Great final point. Yes they’re good investments, but know that there are better ones out there. My personal take is that they’re so big, that when it comes to storing and then selling, it’s so much easier to have booster boxes.
I was almost about to offload a bunch of gym hero 1st editions and team rocket light boosters but I think I will hold until I see any changes up to the release of the team rocket set. Even if its only 10% thats not bad on some of the higher end cards I have. Pretty crazy though because I thought the mega Pokemon would be announced. Maybe late 2025 or early 2026 for the mega's now I hope.
Alex do you think there is any plays to be made in AI graded company graded 10 slabs? My thought is that if there software actually works then if you get a 10 its an actual good card. I haven't looked into these but since the companies arent that big I cant imagine their cards selling at a big premium. So then maybe a play could be made where you buy say TAG 10's and then crack them and send them to beckett for a black label or psa for a 10 and flip for the beckett/psa premium.
So I am new to investing pokemon. I guess my plan is collecting ETB and booster box should I just start investing Stella or spend money on twilight crown zenith and all the current sets
Is there any confirmation or leaks on the UPC promos? They might do it similar to the 151 UPC where you get 1 AR, 1 Metal Card, and 1 SIR. If that is the case, it would be nice to see Lapras SIR.
Hey Alex, do you have the same opinion on the greninja upc that's going to be released with this one? Also, I was wondering if you're going to Richmond this weekend?
Alex are you talking about upcoming sets in the future and speculating lol, I thought you weren’t all about that lol. It was just funny to see you talking about future sets like that when you poo pooed it before lol
Hahahaha I hear you. I am definitely more okay with it once products are actually on sale for pre-order than talking about sets that wont be out for 6, 9, 12 months lol
If 151 gets a reprint then sure becuase it will hurt the pack price but the UPCs should hold up better than the regular ETBs or Bundles becuase they have other value with the promos.
I don’t believe the upc will be reprinted the metal mew adds a bit to the production. Bundles, etb’s, and maybe a collection box will be the first options for the company.
It still baffles me that people only care about pop reports. That's boomer shit. What matters is the popularity and it's demand and then finally it's pop report. Who cares about a random ass lvl x pokemon with a low pop report.
Pokemon is sucking it up right now with the Tera crap. S&V era has some phenomenal IR’s that are making it one of my favorite eras but the tera cards are SO cheesy. And they keep leaning into it harder and harder. Please don’t buy this people. Let them know this is crap so they stop making this nonsense.
Not gonna happen, at the end of the day they do what they want. Also it forms part of the actual playable card game which is a big part of the fan base.
@@leer3943 people like the popular flavor of the month and the most popular tera cards the crown is hard to see or mixes in. The greninja is a weird card. I think it’s more a testament to the popularity of greninja and the difficulty of pulling the card than it having fantastic art. The art is weird and divisive. It looks like someone steps on tubes of paint and the splattered everywhere. I’m not convinced it will have the greatest longterm popularity but who knows? Sometimes the stuff people like I don’t understand.
Hey Alex, love the content mate keep it up! Doing the Lord’s work 🫡 Here’s a question for you, what do you recommend for a great investment/flip in Pokemon for $1000 right now?
Investment and flip and 2 totally different things. The only easy flip is at the buy. Gotta buy lots or collections under market to flip for full value and make the margin or find raw mint cards to grade and try to hit 10s. Investment wise I always just say to stick to booster boxes.

@jj515789 Awesome. Ya I get it. Selling is time consuming. Leme know how everything goes for you.
Charizard UPC has awesome promos and Evo Skies packs. 151 UPC has awesome promos and 151 packs. These new UPCs have subpar promos and no packs on the level of Evo Skies or 151. These were immediate passes for me.
Booster boxes are king
I like the literal boxes on the UPCs. Would be nice on the shelf
Pick one up for the personal collection and if it hits a high price down the road sell it off for profit. But don’t fill your closet with these. This is not 151 or Charizard upc.
Thanks for the outlook Alex. I bought 2 of the UPCs for $85, so feeling safer for long term.
Ya you'll very fine at that price
Booster boxes are king unless you can hit that one premium collection that does well. Money is always better put toward booster boxes.
I think long-term this UPC could do well, but I wouldn't compare it the Charizard UPC; the CUPC had Sword and Shield packs which held an opportunity for some of the most sought-after alternate art cards including Evolving Skies Packs which are in a league of their own as a set.

Stellar Crown booster boxes for $80 is the move
Nobody gas SC boxes for 80
@@RodolfoMedina-f6x 👀
def getting the UPC i been using the playmat as a mouse pad and they get dirty quick.
ive been meaning to pick up that blaziken trainer card for the personal collection I might pick that up now
Hidden Fates Jesse and James shiny card seems like a good play on Team Rocket Returns. I’ve got a stack of those cards
💯
I have a square cut error of the Zekrom TG from BS.
I was almost about to offload a bunch of gym hero 1st editions and team rocket light boosters but I think I will hold until I see any changes up to the release of the team rocket set. Even if its only 10% thats not bad on some of the higher end cards I have.
Pretty crazy though because I thought the mega Pokemon would be announced. Maybe late 2025 or early 2026 for the mega's now I hope.
Ya may as well hold off until the sets are released. I agree.
Ya I know. It's starting to look like we may not get them possibly...
Alex do you think there is any plays to be made in AI graded company graded 10 slabs? My thought is that if there software actually works then if you get a 10 its an actual good card. I haven't looked into these but since the companies arent that big I cant imagine their cards selling at a big premium.

I think there is always plays cross grading with any of the companies if you want to take the risk. A lot of people already do it.
Paldea fates. Paradox rift.. and temporal forces that's all I got
N Trainer Gallery was pretty scarce when completing BS
In this case the upc is not worth it compared to the booster box as it's a main set .
Great stuff as always Alex 👏
So I am new to investing pokemon. I guess my plan is collecting ETB and booster box should I just start investing Stella or spend money on twilight crown zenith and all the current sets
@sir.philly3750 Its so hard to tell. Usually it's always best to wait on new sets but after how fast twilight ran up it's hard to say...
Save ur money for surging sparks and eevee set and team rocket. Stellar crown is nothing special.
Can't wait I I was collecting gallery cards to lol
Is there any confirmation or leaks on the UPC promos?
They might do it similar to the 151 UPC where you get 1 AR, 1 Metal Card, and 1 SIR. If that is the case, it would be nice to see Lapras SIR.
I have no info on that..
this didnt age well :(
NN, you have the same thought on the Greninja UPC as you do the Terapagos UPC? Both are pretty bad, right?
@@HungTVo23 Ya, I am not touching either one
Hey Alex, do you have the same opinion on the greninja upc that's going to be released with this one? Also, I was wondering if you're going to Richmond this weekend?
@calvintaylor830 Ya I think that one is even worse actually. But no I will be in chicago though
@NostalgiaNomics alright I'll keep that in mind! Is it okay if I send you a dm on discord? Just curious of your opinion on something
@@calvintaylor830 Sure 👍
The greninja upc is in the same boat
@@frogartti Ya... doesn't excite me either
What about pokemon center lost origin elite trainer boxes?
@@davidglenn1633 PC ETBs usually do well.
Would you rather do booster boxes than PC ETB’s?
@davidglenn1633 Yes. I would.
PC etbs are only good for SV because the stamped promo. SWSH PC etbs are hard to move at a profit. Unless it’s Evolving Sky.
Alex are you talking about upcoming sets in the future and speculating lol, I thought you weren’t all about that lol. It was just funny to see you talking about future sets like that when you poo pooed it before lol
Hahahaha I hear you. I am definitely more okay with it once products are actually on sale for pre-order than talking about sets that wont be out for 6, 9, 12 months lol
I agree 100%
Another great video!
Terrapagos and Greninja UPCs are both bad. I can't see buying either unless they $50ish
Will the 151 reprint hurt the upc
If 151 gets a reprint then sure becuase it will hurt the pack price but the UPCs should hold up better than the regular ETBs or Bundles becuase they have other value with the promos.
I don’t believe the upc will be reprinted the metal mew adds a bit to the production. Bundles, etb’s, and maybe a collection box will be the first options for the company.
Traffic kinda bad right now
Don't take the bet. Booster box will obviously do better thank this UPC
How to submit bgs on arizona 😊
I would not know the specifics of that. I would reach out and email them for that answer.
Low Demand = Low Pop
High Demand = High Pop
Don’t be scared folks !! Great Vid . Nostalgia
Can not justify investing in cards with psa 10 pops in the thousands.. The amount our community snores on Lv.X cards baffles me
@@Cal-zk4nc High pops only matter if demand isn't there. I would be more afraid of low pops with no demand honestly
What a dumb comment. If there is demand then what does it matter if there are thousands graded?
It still baffles me that people only care about pop reports. That's boomer shit. What matters is the popularity and it's demand and then finally it's pop report. Who cares about a random ass lvl x pokemon with a low pop report.

Alex slowly going i to flipper status and out of investment 😂
@RodolfoMedina-f6x Invest in sealed. Flip singles and Slabs!
Box should be no more than 75$
That seems more reasonable!
Fo Yokes!
First!
It's hot trash

@@MrToco23 a upc is not designed for players though.
Playmate , dice and damage counters and packs of the new set!! Seems like it's made for players to me @@MrGuitarfreak132
You do realize the most expensive set card in S&V right now is a Tera SIR right? Obviously people do like them.
