Skyridge would be my first choice because it's my favorite set and I think it's the best looking box. But my second choice would either be Neo Revelation or Unseen Forces, because Raikou is my favorite pokemon and they both feature Raikou on the box. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford those boxes, but instead I would love to get all of the booster packs that feature Raikou on them. Neo Rev, Unseen Forces, HGSS Unleashed
I've been collecting since Late 2017 and I purchased a Fossil 1st Ed Box in March of 2018 for $1300 cuz I wanted to open a box. Once I had bought it, I opened it and got two dragonites, a lapras, gengar, two zapdos, and so many other hits, it felt so amazing. I sent them to PSA with the 15 vouchers they were offering back in day with a Subscription to PSA and they came back as 8 PSA 10's and 7 of them were 9's. Most of the 12 holos ended up being 10's and I ended up auctioning them for cheap ass prices, I made maybe $200 dollars after the ebay and psa fees and I could of probably made so much more if I kept them for a few years longer during the boom. Oh well... Prices will never be that low again, but I'm glad I bought a lot of other product back in 2018-2020 for really cheap so I still came out on top. I bought 8 Base set unlimited Charizards for $22-30 dollars a pop. They were literally all over the place on Ebay.
Amazing story thanks for sharing! Man 20$ for unlimited zard would be a dream. I would have bought a briefcase full of those! Love the unlimited version for the price points even today. Thanks for watching 😎🙏🏼
Single blisters are also a great way to avoid resealing but even blisters have been re glued in some cases. Gotta be super careful and cautious about vintage sealed purchases. I wish it wasn’t this way but after the boom this has been a common fraud in vintage. But if you can find legit un tampered product my hat is off to you! It’s out there im just skeptical. 😎😂
I have a 1st edition fossil factory sealed box, lucky that I never opened in the past. I got for $50 in 2000..What is the best current booster box for long term investing
I've only ever gone as far back as xy. I had an opportunity to get a bunch of fates collides prerelease kits at about half market back in 2020 and pulled the trigger. Not really vintage but its definitely cool to see the older sets that you might not have opened. for some people its a one-off and a nice social experience in the digital community space.
Fates collide is superb! Great set overall I would say you did well! The Lugia is super nice from that set. I’d say it’s becoming vintage soon though too. 😎🙏🏼
I'd get 1st ed base set box in hopes to rebuild my complete binder that was stolen and probably pawned by an ex family friend who taught me "no good deed goes unpunished". So yes, my choice is emotionally driven. My second choice is ex delta species for the artwork (ralts is so adorable) and they seem to all to in attack mode.
Sorry to hear that. Losing collectibles is unfortunately a common occurrence in the hobby. Delta species is a great set! Some amazing Gold Stars from that set too 😎🙏🏼
Not able to get the vintage BB. Theme decks seem to scratch that vintage sealed itch. I get more excited over picking up a sealed theme deck over a single loose pack personally. Side note, you should do a video on your game collection. Do you just mostly collect cib systems, or games too? I just started adding video games to my collection as well, started with a cib gameboy color.
I will do a video soon on the consoles 😎 and yeah that’s why I personally have enjoyed the heck out of collecting theme decks. They really do display great too and cost way less and are resealed way less. 😎🙏🏼
best sealed product in my opinion are single pack blisters, 3 pack blisters, and tins. guaranteed unweighed and legit packs with very strong displayability. ex era sealed is by far the best in the hobby in terms of checking those boxes.
eBay really needs to get an authentication process started for booster boxes of value over 5k like it would be a game changer!!! I am terrified of taking the risk to buy a box knowing it could be fake and finding out the hard way later on. 😂
@@orionsires yeah it’s a massive investment for something you have no true way of knowing if it’s authentic or not without opening for yourself. i don’t even know that i would trust ebay employees to properly authenticate them honestly
I love the collection brother, but personally Just my opinion, that’s literally just waist of money with no real type of return on investment. I can never see myself spending thousands on Empty Card Board Boxes. 😂 Lol but hey if empty boxes make you happy that’s what’s it’s all about. 👍🏼✅
i would speculate that it was prob a market strat for his youtube? for growth its prob 60% about thumbnail lets bo honest only a few can become so big with bad thumbnails... and with all these boxes in the thumbnail i guess it makes a eyecatcher idk lol no hate btw just what a felt when i saw his vids
I have not considered but only dreamed… way out of my financial standing but if I had one to keep sealed it would be ex holon phantoms! Also completely agree on your take of vintage drying up, it’s absolutely is. That’s why I like diversifying a collection Adding sealed packs from all generations of Pokémon that’s why we fans 😂
@@orionsires yeah man I’ve got the games for that era now Gale of darkness and colosseum just finding a no resealed and unweighted pack is just impossible for that era so expensive
Vintage sealed wayyyyyy out of my ballpark lmao I’m too casual. Still have 60% of my base set from the 90s so I’m good. Can’t say I wouldn’t want a 1st edition box in my collection though lol
That’s the reason no one’s talking about it. Just too expensive for most people sadly and that’s sad because everyone should have a chance at vintage it kind of exploded out of nowhere. Hopefully I can represent and buy some boxes down the road. 😎🙏🏼
Have you ever considered buying vintage booster boxes ? One can dream 😂 Also if you could buy one box what set would it be all market value aside ?
Secret wonders, my favorite set. Don’t see too many boxes for sale, but I’m hoping to get one by the end of the year.

Keep these videos coming. I listen to them while I drive from work. Saving up for a base set box next year
Hell you you can do this !!! That’s gonna be an absolute gem in the collection for sure. 🔥😎🙏🏼
Theres just something about vintage single blisters that I enjoy. 😊

That’s amazing !! 🔥 Booster box scarlet violet base or paldea evolved but overall 151 is the best IMO but it doesn’t have a booster box
Great video. What’s the channel called for the Skyridge BB opening out of interest
I honestly can’t remember maybe poke trav? Look up skyride booster box opening you’ll probably find it 😎🙏🏼

I did buy 2 Japanese vintage booster boxes from XY era 😌 for my collection of course 👀 thinking of picking up 1 BW booster box 🤔
Bro your collection is insane in Japanese sealed lord knows you’re gonna have fun selling those in a decade 😂

Also it seems only the rich people are passing the vintage boxes around
Holon is SUCH a GOOD set though. I like the way you think 😎🙏🏼
Yeah basically that and very enthusiastic collectors too
