Hey, I’m only just looking at getting started with collecting cards. Watched a load of videos on this channel as well as others, but would appreciate if you could let me know how you’ve got on over the course of a year! If you don’t mind me asking, how much have you invested, how large is your collection now, and any recommendations on what to focus on to start with? Ideally, I’d want to look at this as more of a long term investment (as well as the nostalgia enjoyment!). Happy to spend around £100 a month
Arceus figure collection box is product of the year imo. Affordable? Check. Pack selection? includes Cosmic and Brilliant, Check. Badass promo? Check. Decent Arceus figure? Check. Hits all the boxes for me.
For affordable cards I really think the Gold/Black cards are a sleeper they are super unique a bit hard to pull and are going for $3-$20 depending on the card
Thanks Jake, we needed this video to do a balance with all of products in the year. But could you please show us all sealed products and grading cards do you have, because it doesn't stop growing 😁👌
Two things I like too share. 1. There's a pikachu promo card for sword and shield that shows pikachu and scorbunny starters which is a 25-30 card and it's climbing in value. 2. That promo card that comes in the Precious Edition Box is going to be in Crown Zenith.
I just have to share this unbelievable luck with you guys, the night before Christmas eve i bought the last lost origin pack at hot topic which haven’t even bought any cards from this set yet and i pulled the alt art giratina the ultimate chase card from the set 😱😱 i ran around the house yelling no way no f$@&in way over and over 😂 could not ever believe something like this could happen to me happy holidays people
Thanks for recapping another end of an era before the year ends, good to see cards and products I might've missed and might want in my collection. Im curious though whered you get your Dawn, Blue, and Red posters, are they official art?
Great video content 👌 I really missed them since you haven't done these in a while. Your opinion and advice are always valuable and I always look forward to these videos! Keep up an amazing job! 👏
I feel like the shining fates blisters and tins are great at MSRP since they have a large variety of hit cards and you are highly likely to get a shiny, which is always worth something. Lots of sets in SWSH have been amazing so you can’t go wrong with a lot of them
The vaporeon vivid voltage 3 pack blisters are on PC rite now for 12.99 when they were 27.99 on the secondary market. Im assuming its a small amount of old stock, might be worth getting before there gone!
Great list. I was a little surprised that you didn't mention any of the Pokemon Center ETBs. I think they are a guarantee winner. They produce a lot of them... but once they sell out, they don't restock and almost instantly increase in value (sometimes they are greater than msrp even when they are available on the PC website LOL).
Absolutely gutted that i didn't pick up the swallowed up pikachu box, stamp promo box, and gold 25th box when they were all at least under 300... some even under 200. Still wonder if worth to pick these up at these prices. Will likely see a price increase over the coming years along with the kanazawa pikachu and just about every box mentioned on this list especially the Japanese ones. Really regret having to sell my one vmax climax box. Hope to replace it one day. Need to figure out how to setup a proxy address to preorder the Iona box.
The way I see it the Halloween product has two options. 1. They release a follow up for 2023 and the price of 2022 goes up. 2. They decide not to do Halloween Pokémon product next year and the price goes up. Either way. I’d say this is a strong bet for a sealed product for sure. Thoughts?
I’m hoping they don’t reprint the same ones next year.. I bought so many of these on clearance the day after holloween.. paid 2.50$ per bag and got to keep the display haha
Solid list Jake! I actually just sold 2 of my Evolving Skies booster boxes to fund a purchase of a Kanazawa Pikachu box. It's going to look amazing on display.
awesome video jake. im a big fan if the alt arts you showed especially the $100+ ones. I have an idea for a video. maybe you can open vstar universe and send the pulls to BGS. some of these cards look stunnung in a black label and it could help the portfolio value.
I’m surprised the Eevee Heroes art box didn’t make your list. I’ve never purchased Japanese product, so I would have no clue where to look. I see your sponsor here, but that is more of an eBay style site from what I can tell. Do you have any recommendations for where to buy Japanese products for retail in the US?
Feel like outside of collecting for fun, Pokemon cards aren’t worth as much anymore (outside of the olds ones) Like 8/10 cards are like a $1 or less, and some maybe $5-15, the very small percentage is like over $100. Or is it just me lol
There’s usually 1-2 chase cards in every set some are harder to pull than others it’s normal modern Pokémon within the past 1-2 years will become more expensive when they are out of print and some time passes it’s normal look at the product from 3-4 years ago it’s getting up there in price and we had the same conversation then about modern value you have to be patient
Sorry if I just missed this as I was making lunch while watching but I don’t think you mentioned the Arceus V figure box (although you did mention the promo). That is one of the most beautiful sealed/box items I’ve seen from Pokémon in the last 5 years, and I think it’s easily worth the $30-40 market price. Wish I had picked up more than one at retail but I might have to add this to my (small) sealed collection
Hi Jake, another amazing video as usual. Just wondering, do you think Fusion Strike and Pokemon Go elite trainer boxes are good investments for long term if picked up at retail price? Thanks, and have a good new year!
Hey Jake do you think it's a better bet to hold onto my Eevee Heroes Gym Box, or sell it for a Pikachu Box and Stamp box? I'm torn on what has better long term prospects....
It’s so nuts to me that the PCB is so expensive. I got mine during preorders using a proxy. They were up for 3 months before PCJPN took it down. They were made to order so how did everyone sleep on them so hard????
No Eeveelution Special Box with the Espeon VMAX from Eevee Heroes? I suppose it's subject to potential reprint impact from the Eevee Heroes set boxes inside, but looks like it's steadily climbed over the last year.
@@TwicebakedJake Bought an evolving skies one. Was a little more. I'm okay with paying 10 bucks a pack for those though. Cool item. Should have got a long time ago. Haven't been buying too much lately.
Jake, with Ash and Pikachu’s journey coming to an end in the anime. Which Pikachu cards/ cards do you believe will raise in value as Pokémon moves on from Pikachu as the anime mascot?
Rumor says Ash will not continue in the series. Do you think the Pikachu VMAX and Pikachu V will go up in price? I think those are the only 2 cards with both Ash and Pikachu.
The character in the TCG is Red and not Ash, although they are similar. Discontinue content usually hurt collectibles rather than help them since they fall out of the popular mindset. In this case i don' think Ash's retirement will hurt or help these cards
Sets always gets reprinted as we saw with vivid voltage and hidden fates, i expect evolving skies and the recent sets that came out will defn get reprinted in the upcoming year or two.
It's both. They can buy things from the pokemon center jp and Amazon jp on your behalf but you also have access to Japan's resale market through yahoo jp and Mercari
@@TwicebakedJake agreed im happy with my copy i received that way. Maybe quality control could've been better with the bots and ppl ending up with stacks of them. But regardless was nice to have a free promo

As someone who started collecting about a year ago, I just want to say your videos have been so valuable. Thank you!

Worth noting I’m based in the Uk!

Plus the chilling will age like fine wine. 5 years from now people will talk about all the different chases you could pull from that one box
For affordable cards I really think the Gold/Black cards are a sleeper they are super unique a bit hard to pull and are going for $3-$20 depending on the card

Hey I see a new ring on your left hand, congrats and happy holidays Jake!
Thanks! You too!
Thanks for recapping another end of an era before the year ends, good to see cards and products I might've missed and might want in my collection. Im curious though whered you get your Dawn, Blue, and Red posters, are they official art?
Yes, I got them from the pokemon center online. I think they're still available last I checked
Love these types of videos on what you think is worth it in different price points. Excited for the next one.
Great video content 👌 I really missed them since you haven't done these in a while. Your opinion and advice are always valuable and I always look forward to these videos! Keep up an amazing job! 👏

Good call!
A few day the Pokemon center Pokemo Go ETB sold out and then in amazon it was at 100$ 🙃
Absolutely gutted that i didn't pick up the swallowed up pikachu box, stamp promo box, and gold 25th box when they were all at least under 300... some even under 200.

They are making 2023 set
Great video, thanks for the info! Lots of cards I had forgotten about or did not know about.
Solid list Jake! I actually just sold 2 of my Evolving Skies booster boxes to fund a purchase of a Kanazawa Pikachu box. It's going to look amazing on display.
I think definitely the Gold secret rare Zacian and Zamazenta cards, they are the sets mascots.💫
Precious collecto boxes are overpriced at the moment
Merry Christmas Jake! Love the vids!! I’ve learned so much over the last year 😎
Just enjoy these types of streams! Thanks Jake!
Hi Jake, I've just recently got into the hobby and found your channel. Love your content so far and keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
awesome video jake. im a big fan if the alt arts you showed especially the $100+ ones. I have an idea for a video. maybe you can open vstar universe and send the pulls to BGS. some of these cards look stunnung in a black label and it could help the portfolio value.
These are my favorite kind of videos. Thanks Jake
Appreciate your content Jake. Merry Christmas
Love this content, can you do more in the future going over limited promo cards and such? Had no idea about those awesome Japanese promos. Ty!
I’m surprised the Eevee Heroes art box didn’t make your list. I’ve never purchased Japanese product, so I would have no clue where to look. I see your sponsor here, but that is more of an eBay style site from what I can tell. Do you have any recommendations for where to buy Japanese products for retail in the US?
That's a good one too!

I prefer it this way. I could buy cards individually at a fair price and it can only go up from there
Sorry if I just missed this as I was making lunch while watching but I don’t think you mentioned the Arceus V figure box (although you did mention the promo). That is one of the most beautiful sealed/box items I’ve seen from Pokémon in the last 5 years, and I think it’s easily worth the $30-40 market price.

Hi Jake, another amazing video as usual. Just wondering, do you think Fusion Strike and Pokemon Go elite trainer boxes are good investments for long term if picked up at retail price? Thanks, and have a good new year!
Thanks Jake for keeping it real.
Picked up a radiant charizard just hoping and wishing lol
But thankyou for keeping it real.
What’s the better weed Pokémon? Weedle or Bulbasaur
Love that moonbreon, please print more evolving skies 🙏
Great stuff as always Jake. Happy holidays to you and the whole community 😊
my favourite product of sword & shield era is the evee gym box!
Thank you! this was awesome.
I need a special deliver charizard for my collection and thank you for the pokemon promo cards video
Hey Jake do you think it's a better bet to hold onto my Eevee Heroes Gym Box, or sell it for a Pikachu Box and Stamp box?
I'm torn on what has better long term prospects....
Love the video! Where did you get that display for your celebrations masterset?
Thanks for the content jake... always nice to hear your take!
Got most of these. Sad I couldn't buy 2 of the Precious box. Torn between keeping it sealed or opening for the promo :(
Beautiful job as always Jake. You da best poketuber
It’s so nuts to me that the PCB is so expensive. I got mine during preorders using a proxy. They were up for 3 months before PCJPN took it down. They were made to order so how did everyone sleep on them so hard????
The really need to reprint evolving skies, the costs are crazy now and they can make so much profit
I love these videos
Cool list!
great video!
Zard UPC can be found between 70-80 if you look hard enough
Really? Ive looked for weeks and never seen it below 90 even with holiday sales. Any sites in particular?
No Eeveelution Special Box with the Espeon VMAX from Eevee Heroes? I suppose it's subject to potential reprint impact from the Eevee Heroes set boxes inside, but looks like it's steadily climbed over the last year.
That's a good one too!
Those Halloween booster bundles are NOT it…come on now Jake…
i think they potential as being unique in 5 years. Specifically the sealed bags of them. We'll see
Jake, now you got my buying build and battle stadiums, dang it. I don't usually cave like this. I think its a good pick up though. $$.
The newer ones that go for $30 - $40 are totally worth it, even more so if you enjoy playing a few rounds while also keeping the best pulls
@@TwicebakedJake Bought an evolving skies one. Was a little more. I'm okay with paying 10 bucks a pack for those though. Cool item. Should have got a long time ago. Haven't been buying too much lately.
With the new expansion coming they probably won't print these sets anymore.
I bought 3 vmax dragons for sons collection it looked awesome on a youtubbers channel opening
You missed the sword and shield figure box. You got 2 behind you. I also have 2 in my collection lol. Wicked promo card. New starters SUCK
IMO
Jake, with Ash and Pikachu’s journey coming to an end in the anime. Which Pikachu cards/ cards do you believe will raise in value as Pokémon moves on from Pikachu as the anime mascot?
I would pick the Pikachu (Secret) card from cosmic eclipse. Since that card really showcases the beginning of Ash and pikachu's journey
whats up with that japanese swsh promo card that came in a premium box by itself. i thought it was supposed to be released october.
I thought the 25th Japanese golden box was going to be made to order?
People can still guy the charizard promos and make $20 purchases untill the new year.
What is The difference between First partner pack EU version and US version?
No mention of Shiny Star V?
That's a good one!
Rumor says Ash will not continue in the series.
Do you think the Pikachu VMAX and Pikachu V will go up in price? I think those are the only 2 cards with both Ash and Pikachu.
The character in the TCG is Red and not Ash, although they are similar. Discontinue content usually hurt collectibles rather than help them since they fall out of the popular mindset. In this case i don' think Ash's retirement will hurt or help these cards
Ey Jake, you rly think they will reprint Evo booster boxes?
I like these Vids I think you should make a separate channel for opening Pokémon cards
Sets always gets reprinted as we saw with vivid voltage and hidden fates, i expect evolving skies and the recent sets that came out will defn get reprinted in the upcoming year or two.
Marnie Promo for 3 dollars? I think it is much higher than that! 😁.. you can sell me the Marnie promo for $3 though! 🤣
Did I say 3? I think I meant 30
Is buyee new product/sealed? Or is it like eBay, resellers and possibly used?
It's both. They can buy things from the pokemon center jp and Amazon jp on your behalf but you also have access to Japan's resale market through yahoo jp and Mercari
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have 4 thousand celebrations pikachu base reprints. 😈😈😈😈
Hmm not bad
Boom shabooya boom boom shabooya row call:
Eevee heroes?
BRO YOU GOT MARRIED???🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Engaged but yes!
@@TwicebakedJake Amazing! Many congrats to you and your partner! An exciting journey awaits!
9:10 yea… ima have to pass
this advice is terrible. Zard UPC for 100 is a great pick up? when it sells for 80? zzz
Special delivery charizard is about $40 overpriced. What a joke of a card everyone fell for.
Yeah and it’s uuuugly 😂
@@Gnalysis lmao
If someone got it for free as a part of the pokemon center giveaway I can't compalin!
@@TwicebakedJake agreed im happy with my copy i received that way. Maybe quality control could've been better with the bots and ppl ending up with stacks of them. But regardless was nice to have a free promo
I bought a code off eBay for $5-6
Just happy my tina came back as a 10 and my japanese neo des Tyranatar came at a 9
