Love waking up to a new Poke Oz video. With you 100% on this idea that history will repeat. Do you think we will ever get a Pokémon Centre in Australia? Can we start a petition? 😂❤
love the vids, from Canada. question for you. i have 4 evolving skies etbs unopened, will holding onto them give me a greater return in the future? im only asking because those packs are going for 20$ these days, thanks for the content
I didn’t join the tcg until sword and shield so correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t SWSH have a much higher demand then SM? That would do quite a bit to cancel out the high print numbers imo
Pokemon did give us numbers on printing though? SM era was around 1.5 billion cards printed for the year, the year that we moved into SWSH they printed over 9 billion cards and printed as many for each of the SWSH years! I think what you're looking at for future investments is solid, but the idea that the print-runs were similar is way off imo.
Keep in mind unbroken bonds, unified minds and Hidden fates all copped reprints in mid to late 2020 and Unified and unbrokens was decent and Hidden Fates was huge. Cosmic was still printing early 2020, just never got a reprint after that, being the final sun and moon set. So of those 9 billion in 2020, a portion would have been final sun and moon sets. The previous sun and moon sets on the other hand were a lot shorter printed. Team Up and previous.
Chilling, if you can get mid 200s you've done extremely well but it looks like it's pushing $300 now. Fusion $175. Brilliant is harder to get in Aus and Astral for low 200s 👌
Have to say you have won me over. I was looking to pick up some sun and moon but considering your advice I do think picking up swsh is the right call. I think in the future swsh will be looked back on as one of the best era's. So many great sets and amazing cards. Chilling reign and brilliant stars are definitely the two sets that I see having good growth potential. The other sets are still printing and we are seeing new booster bundles for the later half of swsh. I still want to pick up a few tins and collection boxes from S&M but I see how this could be a crucial time for SWSH investment.
Hope you are having a goo day. First video i see and its amazing how you explain everything. I have a question. If you had to buy some low-end cards from SWSH sets, which would they be? (Max $10)
I bought a little 3 pack of pokemon cards on a whim and got that starmi with Misty, and it got me addicted again. I couldn't believe how lucky i was after i looked up the card to see if it was worth anything. Now I'm buying evolving skies after master setting 151.
I mean I think the biggest thing about the rise is prices is realistically that, even if a booster box doubles in price it's not truly in a profit zone yet. With the fees needed to be paid to eBay (or whatever it is you use) it generally takes about 30% of the full selling price. So if the $100 box of cards you buy now can be sold for $200 next year, eBay is going to take about $27 of that. If you're offering free shipping and have to pay for packaging.. that's going to slam another $15 or so out of your pocket which would whittle the profit down to $43. Imagine waiting for a full year.. sitting on boxes.. just to make $43. Yikes.
If you're set up, it's pretty easy to make money selling on eBay but of course there's fees. As there is, if you buy or sell property. Thanks for the insights, though, man!
A 40% profit in one year is fantastic. If it was a stock you would be extremely happy. You rarely see investments with that growth that aren't extremely volatile.
Are you trolling, bro? No matter how shaky your cost fees are, 43% in a year is an unreal return on investment. You sound like a crypto bro who bought doge coin at its all time high and lost out 80%
Ultimately scarcity and demand brings values, with so many people into keeping sealed modern boxes with the hope of making money. it is unlikely to appreciate to 2000's era.. psa 10s will always be increasing and pokemon inc can always reprint..supply is always increasing ,it never reduces😅 hence a much longer timeframe is needed for demand to pick up for it to be truely valuable
@@jameswa4013 No, absolutely not. In this case it's really about having to store that in your home somewhere. Instances where someone lives in a house vs an apartment. With roommates or with parents. Full time job vs part time job or no job. Whether a specific booster box would double in price in a year or not. I'm not sure how questioning the long-term viability of, what could be, a junk-era Pokemon year / years with increased production is "Crypto-Bro."
If I want to save money in the long run on future sets, should I buy the Chase cards I want as singles and then hold a booster or two for my collection? Rather than cracking packs
Does your crystal ball indicate which set could be the next “Team Up” :) If you could pick one and only one S&S booster box to buy to keep sealed, which one? I am thinking at current prices likely Brilliant Stars
What a brilliant breakdown of recent history of Pokemon cards. I went to a Pokemon specialist store today and he was pushing me away from Astral saying there’s no good chance card. I am more confident in your advice.
I honestly wish that pokemon do something for collectors and for those who love to play the game. So for like collectors they do like limited edition boxes with just full arts and nicely drawn cards, that aren't playable, but just for collecting purposes.
Great video. I’ve always been on the astral radiance bandwagon. It reminds me so much of heart gold soul silver in its theme. It’s basically the legends arceus set which is a game people absolutely adored. All the artwork is straight from the game.
I thought evolving skies was pricey at 240 so I waited for a reprint that never came 😂 thinking I’m going to bite the bullet and buy at 420 it will go up no doubt
Was printed to oblivion and at a time when people were locked down and was the in thing to do, send them to be graded. And yeah, the amazing rares were graded like crazy!
Epic to wake up to watch in the UK makes me think it’s not just me ahaha Picking up astral radiance in the £80 last week I belive that set is strong just because it’s not got that big name Pokémon init people forget it but that’s the bonus for us! Great content man printing etc does matter but some people sell XY evolutions on Facebook in the UK £750 people snap it up so demand is there
PokeOz the type of guy to put Hot Cheetos in the fridge to cool em down
We got a turkeytom/tomdark fan here.
That’s funny
Haha
😂
Hot Cheetos from the freezer SLAP

That would be cool! But I don't like our chances 😅
Bacon & eggs and a new PokeOz video to watch …what a nice start to the day 👍
Awesome mate, great choice 👌
People just don't get how thorough this analysis is!
Oh, thanks, mate!
The man the myth the legend pokeoz!
Haha legend!
Great content I got back into pokemon when cosmic eclipse came out I remember picking up evolutions in 2019 for 90 bucks my lgs had cases of evolution
Yep, and they couldn't get rid of them!
Love the psa pop report analysis. Even if not perfectly accurate it does tell a story and I had no idea cosmic was that high.
You and me both!
Love the vid! Maybe an idea for in 6 or 12 months, compare prices to see how the market is evolving and history is repeating itself
Definitely a good idea man!
love the vids, from Canada. question for you. i have 4 evolving skies etbs unopened, will holding onto them give me a greater return in the future? im only asking because those packs are going for 20$ these days, thanks for the content
Yes, absolutely! Sealed of Evo Skies will only go up!
What do you think about investing in later SWSH sets like Lost Origin and Silver Tempest?
Both great sets. LO > ST 👌
I 100% agree with Astral Radiance, also my SWSH sleeper set!
Sweet set 👌
I didn’t join the tcg until sword and shield so correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t SWSH have a much higher demand then SM? That would do quite a bit to cancel out the high print numbers imo
Definitely mate, it's that old relationship between supply and demand!
Pokemon did give us numbers on printing though? SM era was around 1.5 billion cards printed for the year, the year that we moved into SWSH they printed over 9 billion cards and printed as many for each of the SWSH years!

3.7billion printed from March '20 to March '21, 9.7bil from March '21 to March '22@@pokeoz91 , So SWSH is at minimum triple anything from SM
You can still pick up chilling reign booster boxes at the UK Pokémon center
Send them down here 😎
Hey mate of those 4 sword and shield sets what is a good price in your opinion to be paying for them at the moment in Australia?
Chilling, if you can get mid 200s you've done extremely well but it looks like it's pushing $300 now. Fusion $175. Brilliant is harder to get in Aus and Astral for low 200s 👌

Awesome mate, definitely get on board the sword and shield train!
Crown zenith is the only one being reprinted
Just found your channel, enjoying your thoughts and happy to get into a bit of sealed collecting
Welcome aboard!
Hope you are having a goo day. First video i see and its amazing how you explain everything. I have a question. If you had to buy some low-end cards from SWSH sets, which would they be? (Max $10)
Thanks for tuning in man! I'd probably just choose some of the trainer gallery cards I like! Like the gengar and charizard for example 👌
Hers a question, where do you sell your cards when you want to cash out?
I always go an auction on ebay 👌
I bought a little 3 pack of pokemon cards on a whim and got that starmi with Misty, and it got me addicted again. I couldn't believe how lucky i was after i looked up the card to see if it was worth anything. Now I'm buying evolving skies after master setting 151.
Careful with Evolving Skies, pull rates are way less forgiving than Astral Radiance and 151
@@trippy5519all that means is you get to open more packs😎
Awesome pull mate!
Chilling Reign is sooo undervalued
Starting to get to the place it deserves!
Keep up the great content!
Thanks, will do!
Sick shirt Michael!
Thanks man!

Yes this is the way

Nice shirt! GUNS N ROSES RULES!!!!! About to throw Use Your Illusion on vinyl on Right nowwwww
Awesome mate!
Hey! What do you think about Pokémon center’s ETB?
They're a heap better move than regular ETBs that get printed to the ground now!
Does your crystal ball indicate which set could be the next “Team Up” :)
If you could pick one and only one S&S booster box to buy to keep sealed, which one? I am thinking at current prices likely Brilliant Stars
Excluding Evolving Skies, I'm going to have to say lost origin 👌
Love your channel. Definitely best discovery for pokemon investing related content of 2023 and I'm sure for years to come. Cheers.
Much appreciated!
What a brilliant breakdown of recent history of Pokemon cards. I went to a Pokemon specialist store today and he was pushing me away from Astral saying there’s no good chance card. I am more confident in your advice.
I think astral is a sleeper!
I honestly wish that pokemon do something for collectors and for those who love to play the game. So for like collectors they do like limited edition boxes with just full arts and nicely drawn cards, that aren't playable, but just for collecting purposes.
It would be cool. I guess that's why they try and do both in a set with the art rares!
Surprised this has not been mentioned…

“Past Performance Is Not Indicative Of Future Results”
Very true!
Definitely gonna pick up some fusion strike
Great idea 👌
Its so cooked to see them still be so expensive from s&m and they aren't even that old at all just a few years
Yeah, they're dear!
Great video. I’ve always been on the astral radiance bandwagon. It reminds me so much of heart gold soul silver in its theme. It’s basically the legends arceus set which is a game people absolutely adored. All the artwork is straight from the game.
Agree man!
Welcome to the Jungle, we got all you need! 👍
👌
I thought evolving skies was pricey at 240 so I waited for a reprint that never came 😂 thinking I’m going to bite the bullet and buy at 420 it will go up no doubt
I'm just about to do a video on this! Haha
Love your stuff man! Why not throw some pack openings/give away videos once in a while I’m sure we would all enjoy it!
It's definitely the year to throw a few pack openings in. I'll open a box soon!
Keep it up man love your stuff!
Why on Earth does Vivid Voltage have that many graded cards?? The rainbow Pikachu was difficult to pull. Amazing rares maybe? That’s ridiculous
Was printed to oblivion and at a time when people were locked down and was the in thing to do, send them to be graded. And yeah, the amazing rares were graded like crazy!
It's obvious that the s&s sets will go waaaay up Astral radiance has plenty of beautiful cards as well as all s&s sets
That they do man!
Just noticed your handle. Big blink fan? Angels and airwaves? Boxcar racer?
Big pulls only
Let's hope so!
Probably a major difference is that we're (hopefully) not going into another global crisis like 2020 (or GFC if we want to go further back).
Let's hope not!

Thanks for tuning in again from the U.K mate and good luck up at $80 👌
The Printrun doesnt count, all what counts is the demand, evolving skys was also printed alot more then sun & moon and is also in stock.
Demand does indeed have a huge impact!
Astral radiance master set❤
So sweet 👌
What was that.....?
Thanks for tuning in mate!
