Like some others, I started investing when SV 151 came out. I first looked to channels such as this awesome one. I got great advice and although I by no means even close to being an expert, I would advise anyone starting out to go for their nostalgic set(s) and SWSH. Love your videos, excited for 10k!
I think you hit it perfectly. Booster boxes like lost origin, fusion strike and chilling reign have room for you to make a decent profit in the next 1-2 years. If you have the money for evolving skies, I think the set still has more room to grow.
I buy what I like. I'm a few cards short of the complete crown zenith library. If I had more spending money I'd start buying and saving sealed booster boxes and premium collections.
Greetings, i'm now starting to invest in some Pokemon cards and have just bought my first lot of 151 packs. I love your video's - thank you for the help in getting me started!
The last restock a few months ago of evolving skies on PC had all the plastic inside out. I got one. Do you think it will be harder to sell down the road?
I agree with you when you say Chilling > Fusion. Although both are such great sets. I just prefer the artworks on CR.❄️ Astral is a great set also with awesome artworks. Great trainer gallery too as you mentioned.🔥
eevee evaluation vmax premium collection boxe(s), swsh booster box. what about Jpn vs Eng sealed product? I find some sealed are better for one or the other. Example 151 Jpn all the way for me
I agree with you that singles are best for collections and sealed is best for investments. Rn im graduate school so moneys tight. for me i still want to be enjoying the hobby so i limit myself to a couple of packs to open to add to the collection. I may miss the boat on certain sets and ill definetly invest when im able to do so comfortably
I always like the yard sale strategy. People bulk selling their collections for quick cash. Do a bit of research on what cards to look for (full arts, charzards, vintage, rainbow rares, etc) i just bought a collection on FB and 6/200 cards are valued at what i paid
Space for storage is definitely a long term problem. Just finished the Lego Batcave and it takes up the room of about 6 booster boxes. What was the Mrs thinking buying me that. And as for how big Rivendell is... 😂. Yeah storage space long term is a problem, but some problems look so damn good.
i believe paldean fates will boom in price once most stores get out of product 151 as well other then those 2 sets i say booster boxs are the way the go so i agree with you on that :)
I think any sword and shield era booster box would be a great giveaway since this is an investing channel and you have been covering those a lot lately and you have been talking about why it’s a good idea to invest in them now. Great video btw
@@rell660 yeah exactly so evolving skies will be worth much more by the time 151 is, 151 will blow up but people over hype this set so much “the nostalgia will carry” 🙄 the set is mid at best, has okay sar and the cards aren’t worth much in comparison to evolving skies.
@@bretwentzel8824 Okay back to step one... ES has been out longer so of course the cards will be worth more. See that's what happens when you're a hype beast.
I just started investing in Pokemon, went for anything Zard and 151 right now 😂 thinking of getting evolving skies products!! …. That being said I’d like to see some zards in the give aaway plz n thanks !!
People keep saying Astral Radiance wasn’t reprinted but you can buy 96 boxes of it in one order right now on the Pokemon center. Lost Origin limits to 6, Brilliant Stars limits to 6 and silver tempest is 3. Kinda feels like maybe there’s a reason they didn’t reprint.
I feel like Crown Zenith, Silver Tempest, Evolving Skies, Chilling Reign & Pokemon 151 will be future gold rush. Especially with Zenith pull rate and the of the All Arts TG,GG, VStar gonna be $$$$ .
Talking about booster boxes as a better investment than collection boxes but using the Hidden Fates UPC as a comparison was a poor choice. I love these investment videos and agree with most of what you said but 1) Hidden Fates is a specialty set (as you know), so there's no booster box and 2) UPCs are a kind of unique collectible item. I understand that investors should buy what consumers are after, since that's what will have the most value. But some items (UPCs, in this case) have value because they could go up, as collectible items. Anyway, thanks for the content!
Ding, Ding, Ding, I purchased not only my first ever case but also a Japanese product, a 151 Booster Box case. You think ES is something. Wait 1-2 years when 151 goes out of print.
@@Scorr_Gaming Any of them, as long as it's for a fair price. Also keep in mind reprints aren't done yet, so I don't recommend rushing in and getting a Booster Bundle for let's say $50. ETB's are a fair price at around $55 BUT after a reprint they could be around $45. JP BB's are on you. Just be aware they retail for like $40 I believe and currently sell for 180-ish USD. It also has those Master Ball Holos which is an extra chase English doesn't have. Good Luck
Sword and shield products are going to start rising up like crazy soon! I wish I had more $$$ to throw at them lol I spent like 4.5 k pretty quickly on some awesome sealed products and psa 10 cards . I need to move some more sports cards to fund more boxes lol
I don't think Ryan opens enough packs to push the market himself. Doubt any current PokeTuber has that power. The slow shift in behavior by their community might eventually contribute to upwards pressure but a big rip sesh itself is not enough.
I don't think it's about how many packs he opens, because I agree with that. However, lots of people watch, and then start FOMOing so I think PokeTubers definitely can have some sway in the market. For example, when PokeRev couldn't pull the Aerodactyl V alt art from Lost Origin, that card went up in price
Unfortunately, yhe rise of fusion strike is dtrictly becsuse the box is out of stock at TPC. Did people already forget the hideous incident where all Fusion Strike Big hits were stolen by a bunch of idiots who wanted to offload like 300 copies of gengar vmax alt art in one go 😂😂😂
I dont understand buying the current set. The current set is always in demand. Buy the last set or the one before that. The hypes moved on to the current and demand has dropped
So my question is. Why invest in every set. I mean collecting is fine. I want 1 BB of each but why invest in every set? For instance! We all know that PE will do a lot better then S&V base. Correct? So why waist money. We all know 151 will do better than anything so far from S&V. So why dump money in PR. Your advice was very poor imo. Sorry!
I agree with everything except the sleeved packs unless it’s a case. I had over 100 sleeved ES 1 1/2 years ago and decided to open 10 and they were resealed. I ended up opening the last 90 just because I couldn’t sell them down the road because of a chance of them being tampered

Yup I am picking up scarlet era booster box. It's a can't miss
is there such thing as a pokemon 151 booster box or booster bundle only, and do you think its a good investment?
eevee evaluation vmax premium collection boxe(s), swsh booster box. what about Jpn vs Eng sealed product? I find some sealed are better for one or the other. Example 151 Jpn all the way for me

Buying cases or PC ETB’s or BB’s
I always like the yard sale strategy. People bulk selling their collections for quick cash. Do a bit of research on what cards to look for (full arts, charzards, vintage, rainbow rares, etc) i just bought a collection on FB and 6/200 cards are valued at what i paid
So I should just open my brilliant stars ETB’s?!? They are not PC
any suggestions on where is a good place to buy cheap boosters for us canadians?
www.tcgandgames.com and use the promo code THEPOKEOFFICE
I think sealed product or raw hit and grading them if they're top quality is my way to go.
Cant wait til crown zenith starts going up again. Once it starts climbing, bet it outperforms lost origin in the same amount of time
Anyones thoughts on Brilliant Stars?
Space for storage is definitely a long term problem. Just finished the Lego Batcave and it takes up the room of about 6 booster boxes. What was the Mrs thinking buying me that. And as for how big Rivendell is... 😂. Yeah storage space long term is a problem, but some problems look so damn good.
Colin... youre being bossy lol. I was gonna hit the buttons anyway. Excited for you on the upcoming 10k brother
Lmao hit the damn buttons Chris
Moving to 10k pretty quick, did you already announce the 9k winner?
i believe paldean fates will boom in price once most stores get out of product 151 as well other then those 2 sets i say booster boxs are the way the go so i agree with you on that :)

Scarlet Violet base set is a better giveaway
What sv set do you think is the best bb to invest. Paldea evolved?
SV base set
@@nightowl7261really? Why?
I think sealed 151 products will always do great even with more reprints and restocks. The nostalgia of the original 151 is too strong.
It’s not as good as people hype it up to be. Surely it will be a better then most set but I’d say it’s nowhere near like evolving skies potential
@bretwentzel8824 it's more so for me to keep cracking them open 🤣
Evolving skies pricing is just 🚀 right now. Pricing some people out
@@bretwentzel8824You're a hype beast.
By 2028 a 151 pack will sell for more than ES. ES came out earlier. Which gives it a headstart.
@@rell660 yeah exactly so evolving skies will be worth much more by the time 151 is, 151 will blow up but people over hype this set so much “the nostalgia will carry” 🙄 the set is mid at best, has okay sar and the cards aren’t worth much in comparison to evolving skies.

Whst about build and battle stadiums
I just started investing in Pokemon, went for anything Zard and 151 right now 😂 thinking of getting evolving skies products!! …. That being said I’d like to see some zards in the give aaway plz n thanks !!
I just started investing and in going to start with sword and shield. There are still plenty of deals out there for sword and shield.
Love the content keep it coming. I think temporal forces. Is gonna have some great value so going in on that for sure
Just Starting a Pokemon collection …Thanks to you😊
bullish on 151 and crown zenith!!! thanks for the giveaways and congrats for on the 10k!
Same, crown zenith and 151 are great and deep sets.
@@yousmallfish5069 I forgot chilling reigns but I think is a third place

.
will the single card blaziken vmax go up in value?
i'd suspect so
Yea getting 151 and resisting the urge to open it is they way to go
If I started investing right now I would buy some booster boxes and some retail products with evolving skies in it to get exposure to evolving skies.

Those are some dope giveaways! I just picked up a Paradox Rift BB for 79.99, the start of my investment collection
If you buy 6 booster boxes from Pokémon center do they send it as a sealed cases
Yea they do I just got 6 brilliant stars and it came in case but they don't double the boxes. U just get the case wit label on it just so u know
I just started investing and bought Paldean Fates 5 packs got 2 Mews and its actually rly exciting. 👍
If I started investing today, I’d be getting booster boxes from sword and shield sets or scarlet violet sets, or Japanese booster boxes.
Evolving skies etb giveaway? Or a booster box of temporal forces?
I think its great to start investing on 151 products. Even with reprints, the market has proven they are still sought after
I wish i had saved some of my evolving skies booster boxes, when it was current my wife and i bought 3 boxes and opened them all
It’s all about taking risks when investing Pokemon for a collection or something else
I get scarlet violets booster boxes for 80 out the door USD. Shipped , paradox, obsidian, scarlet violet, paldea evolved 😂
that's a great price
Investing in pokemon right now is buying 151 products
Ding, Ding, Ding,
I purchased not only my first ever case but also a Japanese product, a 151 Booster Box case.
You think ES is something. Wait 1-2 years when 151 goes out of print.
Your 100 percent correct
Highly agree as well.
Should we buy japan displays, english 6 booster displays or etb with more booster for the same price?
@@Scorr_Gaming Any of them, as long as it's for a fair price. Also keep in mind reprints aren't done yet, so I don't recommend rushing in and getting a Booster Bundle for let's say $50.

Good Luck
Awesome video! Lets go! Love the cards love the channel!!!
if i were to start over i would just buy booster boxes to hold instead of etb and premium boxes etc. I would also buy booster bundles.
yes it’s going to be a little difficult.. it went away for yrs and now it’s back
I would try to get booster boxes at
appreciate your transparency
pictures would be helpful to add in your video
I also think 151 is best to invest in. So many great cards to chase.
151 and sword shield era booster boxes 👍
I bought 151 and shiny treasure ex japanese boxes
I love that jpn graded card 😍 greetings from Poland
It's hard to keep it sealed when I enjoy ripping packs and playing the TCG
investing in japanese 151 and as much fusion strike or lost origins as i can
If you wanna get views up do occasional vids that you just rip packs cause that might reach a larger audience
151, Fusion Strike, Lost Origin
Nice one 👍
151!! If I can find it in stock anywhere 😂
I got a case of paradox rift for $425 there is a lot of value out there right now.
I’ve been collecting everything. Just spreading it out
I'm also buying and holding sealed products.
Either 151 or crown zenith
Buy all the 151 and fusion strike you can find and afford.
agreed
I’d grab some lost origin booster boxes!
Every set in sve is better than any of the first half of swsh. Fusion strike almost 200 now
You will never believe it I completely changed my mind on paradox rift and now I love it and am trying to complete it
All pokeyoutubers make the same video. Buy Sealed, Buy Booster Boxes and sell in many years.
And people keep watching.
PSA 8 Vintage hits are so cheap right now. They will be what the current vintage 9s are now.
Sword and shield booster boxes is my strategy for long term investment! Congrats on the 10K!
Sword and shield products are going to start rising up like crazy soon! I wish I had more $$$ to throw at them lol I spent like 4.5 k pretty quickly on some awesome sealed products and psa 10 cards . I need to move some more sports cards to fund more boxes lol

I dont understand buying the current set. The current set is always in demand. Buy the last set or the one before that. The hypes moved on to the current and demand has dropped
Evolving skies for either!
Hello fellow BC bud! 👊🏻
Yo
Hi
Jump on all the 151 you can get!!
I would buy only sealed for the next 6 months if i started investing right now
A great giveaway for 10k would be a swsh booster box
I’d invest more in booster boxes and not so many ETB’s
Maybe some evolving skies or celebrations give aways?
the problem with being a pokemon fan is that they come out with sets too fast. way too fast and way too many. Only rich people can actually keep up
So my question is.
Why invest in every set. I mean collecting is fine. I want 1 BB of each but why invest in every set?
For instance! We all know that PE will do a lot better then S&V base. Correct?
So why waist money.
We all know 151 will do better than anything so far from S&V.

I said monthes ago when ES was pushing $400, it would be 1k by the end of 2024. Push 2k by the end of 2025. If you can get it, do it.
It will get a reprint some stage
@@k0rdi897 99.9% positive it won't. It's out of the reprint window
@@k0rdi897no not at all they already reprinted it multiple times the reprint is done they’re already halfway thru S&V the reprints are done on ES
@@k0rdi897 no
Give away an evolving skies booster box
151 is king! 🎉
151 JPN emperor 151 ENG king
I’d invest in bb. Sealed is king
❤😂🎉 let’s goooo
Singles are better. I'd rather have a moonbreon or girantina over the BB. Its just getting them thats tricky.
If they wouldn't print everything to hell maybe people would like SV more.
