In today's video, we take a look at one of the most hyped products of the past several years - The Charizard Ultra Premium Collection. When first announced, the Charizard UPC brought tons of drama to the collector's market. Fear of low supply and high demand spread through the community causing Pokemon Scalpers to return to the community with hopes of making a quick buck. Unfortunately for them, Pokemon destroyed demand for this product by printing an excessive amount of the Charizard UPCs. In fact, Pokemon printed so many of these, that prices crashed to almost below wholesale values. Now, a year later, are the Charizard UPCs worth the price tag? Let's take a look!

I remember ordering the Charizard UPC from Best Buy on release day last year, I had saved up rewards points for months in anticipation and got mine discounted to about $47. Did the same for the 151 UPC this year and planned ahead for even longer, got it for about $6.
I waited until the second print wave saturated the market and lowered prices to buy a box to open and a case of them to hold long term 😁
Same, got mine in April for $340 each.
These are great. It's pretty insane how quickly sentiment turned when people found out they were printed into the ground. It went from "Product of the year!!!" To "Meh, these things aren't worth it" almost overnight.
I think they're great for both ripping now or holding long-term if you can still land some under $100. The pack selection is phenomenal. Majority of the sets have pretty iconic and desirable chase cards that in the distant future (think kids who grew up w/ S&S getting into their 30s and 40s) people will really want to revisit this set. Sure S&S was printed into the ground for the most part but for the average collector with average funds to throw at the hobby, the big chases were very elusive. Nostalgia is a helluva drug and when the kids now grow up and want to revisit this era again and chase those big hits, this is almost the perfect product to scratch that itch. I think the only thing comparable that came out since the Zard UPC is the reprinted Sam's Club Heavy Hitters boxes. Not the ones out right now but the ones that came out a couple months back. In case anyone didn't know, these no longer contain any ES or CR. Pretty sure they were replaced with BS and AR. Still good, but not as epic as it originally was. The 2022 version was okay but the first wave of the 2023 reprint was just epic.
What's ES, AR and CR?

What's your opinion on the mew upc danny
I preordered one of these from Safari Zone. For $250. Then seeing how much was going to be available (thanks to you Danny) I canceled that preorder and they still charged me like $40 “restock” fee. I haven’t bought from them since then.
Danny,
Just wanted to say thank you for all you do. A few months back I was able to get one of the cases of lunchboxes with the silver tempest God packs. I had been over 700 silver tempest packs without an alternate art and the 4th lunchbox I finally pulled one and it was the Lugia to boot. Thanks again for all you do 😊
The singles market has been good lately. I considered getting one to hold onto but I just bought the promos and focused on finding good deals on packs.
Have 16 of these in the closet I picked up for $80 a piece. I think they’ll do well long term
What's your opinion of the Eeveelution Vmax premium collection boxes? I have a feeling that those will surpass the Charizard UPC in market value by the end of next year.
Would love to see a video looking at the top 10 most expensive booster packs (aside from base set) and what the best pulls are in each!
When the news dropped: My LGS put one aside for me for $150. I was so touched. And when it came out, I still got it just to be loyal even thou I got 2 more online for $90 each
It’s already been a year since that box came out?
Over a year
Nice analysis as always Danny
Currently have 3 cases I’ve been holding onto. Bought between 87-97$ per upc plan to hold for at least 5 more years.
I'd have bought evolving skies Booster boxes.

Its called Diversifying@@erikwheelock1465
@@erikwheelock1465 already had my ES position before this.
I still have 2 of these in storage and every day I resist the temptation to open them! :)
Thank you for the awesome video, Danny! Keep up the good work. We appreciate you.
Thanks for the information, Danny Phantump!
yes I have a few set away myself, and thinking about getting more...but I also want chilling reign...and Paldea Evolved...Crown Zenith...Evolving Skies...Paradox Rifts... Got to have them all, got to have them all....someone help!
I just wish 151 kept up with the quality of the box
Even the pamphlet that came with the ETB was super cheap in comparison
Definitely an awesome pack selection in the Zard UPC and well worth it if you can pick one up cheap
I got mine for 75 buckaroos
I somehow managed to get some of the Charizard promos already. The scent doesn’t really appeal to me but I’ve seen people pull moonbrions out of them.
I love the Zard UPC. Wouldn't expect it to go up much anytime soon but it's a great product. Nice way to get some cheap Evolving Skies as well.
I think it’ll go up in 2-3 years from now for sure
I just picked up two of them yesterday for $130 out the door $65 each
Where
Meijer had buy one get one half off all trading cards and Santa bucks so 20 off one and 15 off the other and then I get a team member discount. Plus another coupon I had. Basically ended up getting the second one free.
I think the sale ended yesterday
The box it’s is super nice. Use it for bulk.
Just hold these, all these numbers will go up with time, 2+ years from now when all the packs and the product is out of print, these will have super strong value for sure
I wonder how much Amazon gift cards influenced the higher prices on the platform
Bought 4 and sold 2 of them to my friends and family because they wanted to open them just as bad as me 😂
Average UPC value if you open your cards $55 if you’re lucky. Most people didn’t pull good cards out of these packs in the upc. I only bought them when they were $80 and still lost money lol. I know a lot of other people who opened theirs didn’t get $80 worth of stuff either. These might be better left sealed.
😊thanks for the info
I managed to buy two at 99 dollars Canadian this black Friday
I paid $76 at end of May 2023 for the charizard upc. Still got mine sealed
This box was printed to demand for sure and it’s not a bad buy for lower than msrp
This box is an awesome upc 😊🎉🔥
Yea
Wow, that Charizard box looks awesome.
Honestly I bought 6 and opened them all these newer ones I feel are trash didn't pull anything good I feel the 1st run of these were better
The 151 pokemon center exclusive ETB is the exception to the double msrp thing...
I still didn't get my hands on it for the reprint this week.
I bought a few of these when they were under $100 just to keep🙏 Happy Holidays Everyone 🎉
Thanks mate for the info. Loved it
Good job!
I think part of the promos staying low is the quality was not good I seen more oc then close to centered
I opened 2 and definitely wasn't worth it for me, but it's just because I had terrible luck and pulled absolute trash from mines.😆😒
Thank you for your advice
Thanks for the data as always
The evolving skies packs in it makes it so tempting to me to open one anytime haha
I like the pack selection
Felt hat Pikachu, 151 booster bundles or pkm center 151 etb all been scalped.
Thanks danny!! I really wish one piece card game would print like pokemon lol
Thanks for the video!
Opened mine last night. Got crap. Very disappointed with the pulls / lack of pulls. The set itself is great though. Unlucky w the packs.
Ye
I ripped 5 of these just to get enough promos to have one of each promo in a psa 10
Their customer support is definitely not on to demand lol
Of course it worth it. Everyone is opening those. 10 to 20 yesrs down the road, that charizard upc will be worth tbousands....ill see yall in 2034 to let you know i was right.
151 UPC is more 🔥 but can’t beat the Zards💪🏼
Cringe comment
Im hoping tbey still go on sale next black friday!
Good content and good points ! I'm glad the 6 or 7 of my UPCs are still doing okay ahha. I might Crack 1 open on the future or maybe I'll just get the promos 😂
Hiiiya danni!!!!
Charizard is that dude
Ty
Good vid
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was a year ago! Lmao
I've got both my Giratina AA and svlyeon AA from the same Charizard UPC box.
The metal card is really cool. It’s pretty neat.
I am going to let it sit for 4-5 years
Sell sell sell ☃️
