Everyone buying those umbreon cards right now "were going to the mooooooooooooon" 6 months later they sell for a major loss because they don't actually want the card they just wanted free tendies.
Don’t listen to those guys who complain about audio quality. I like it, the echo reminds me of the happy days in solitary confinement at federal super max! 😂
Because pokerev isn’t hoarding like Alex so not even kids can get affordable packs. It’s literally a kids hobby, go invest in stocks or an Ira like most intellegent people. You ain’t see no billionaires telling you to invest in pokemon lol
@@brandonb3199 What an extremely stupid take. Go watch a cool trainer Ryan video and see how much product that he’s ripping and has on his shelves. PokeRev made money buying out vintage products a decade ago. There is literally no difference. In terms of your billionaires comment, you apparently missed Mark Cuban investing millions into the collectibles space last year. Some of us have made 5-6 figures last year in the hobby in our spare time (and thousands already this year): it isn’t hard. It’s economics 101.
It was right when the marill had gone up to close to 30 a nearby LCS was selling one at 18$... easy cop!.. Also I did, I saw the cleffa coming, even made a joke about it in your live last summer about how I was going to buy mulitple cleffas when it was 5$
Decent play is buying in mass with smaller cards, like etb exclusive promos. Did it with metwo from 151 upc..was 2.50 to 3 bux couple months ago. Bought 200. Now over 10 a pop. Doing it now with snorlax from 151 etb.. started couple weeks ago..was 3..now hovering around 6. Still think it'll grow a bit as well. Even if it's only small money, enough small money makes big money. Been my safe route since the swsh pikachu promo from swsh col box
Also - my plug for a card I think is currently underrated in this market: the Surging Sparks Mesprit IR. Sunsprit is BEAUTIFUL and I can't believe the price it's currently selling for. Am I loading up? Maybe. Will I be wrong? Also maybe. But I like that card more than a lot of other top dogs in the set and I think it's one of the better S/V era IRs
Alex, two things: 1. Get a new mic situation PLEASE 2. These takes are great. Obviously there are good plays whenever a set comes out if it has the big favorites (Charizard, Gengar, Pikachu, Dragonite, Giratina, Rayquaza, Gardevoir, Eevee/Eeveelutions, Bulbasaur/Squirtle/Charmander, etc.) but this is a great video pointing out some of the modern cards that are still underappreciated. Keep it up!
I had a choice between a raw bubble mew, raw lugia v alt from st, psa 10 tyranitar alt art, or a sealed lost origin booster box. (I had a bunch of store credit at my lcs, and i went with the sealed lo booster box to add to the pc. The cards are going up but i feel i made the right choice.
You made the smart choice. No one could have predicted the sudden rise in some of these cases. But a sealed lost origin booster box will always have a bright future!
Dang I have a lot of the cards in this video. Feels nice to see those prices. Hopefully they hold the value or increase and people have interest down the road.
Scarlet and violet will be the best generation of all time. Brought the og’s back and is absolutely exploding in popularity with the young crowd. Ad that up and this will be a nostalgic addicts wet dream in the future…
I don't know where but there is a group of "dolphins/whales" making coordinated buyouts of cards like the Jesse/James. Frankly I just think they're being smart because they know where the market is going when the Team Rocket set launches. Same is happening with a few IRs from shrouded I believe.
No way! I got the M. Rayquaza, Sylveon, Flareon and Umbreon(XY) as duplicates(like 4-5 copies of each easily) from when I collected hard back around those times. haha That's awesome.
Paldean fates booster bundles for $47 out the door is tempting but almost close to my ceiling of purchases but also I want to secure them!! Bubble mew, glass zard, shinys!
the massive influx of new people to the hobby looking to make money on grading plays is what drives the majority of these prices up. either two things happen. psa 10's for a lot of these cards stay high and the raw continues to rise until the price ratio is more in line, causing ppl to stop going for the grading play. Or the psa 10 price starts to slip as more 10's get made and the upward price on the raw card halts. my biggest question is who is buying these cards in 10s??? like who wants the cleffa in a 10...
Epic video love these videos so much food for thought Keep up the great content man no one does it like you Leaving behind the I’m going to wait crowd 😂 Snooze you loose in this hobby now
i picked up 2 cz mini tins yesterday and one pack of the 2 packs had a leafeon vstar, mewtwo vstar and mew.... crazy shit! now im trying to sell them all 3 plus a deoxys vstar for 160
pricing is weird some of those look more like false buys... Ebay can be manipulated so easily as a seller I know how easy it could be to create a listing and sell it to your friend just so you can then take the card to a show and be like "look see it shows sold last week for bla bla so i want at least close to that even tho the other last solds are way below" Most buyers would fall for that i think. Tcg player you can do a similar thing
I bought a Lugia PSA 9 from Silver Tempest for $170 just 3 months ago lol.. it's getting out of hand, people who have the money or have invested in cards already should be very pleased.. everyone else is fu
Appreciate the content and the information. I've yet to get involved in singles yet, and don't plan to for a while, but content like yours is helping me build my knowledge for when I eventually do
I just hit a PSA 10 on secret rare alt art mewtwo from breakthrough and a full art steven from ancient origins. Im just excited and wanted to tell people. Nothing like turning 60 bucks into 800 bucks after scouring the internet for hours and having it pay off occasionally.
Everything is a risk, but that is for all investing. You will have winners and losers, but if you stay consistent, you will eventually get that one big win, which will easily make up for all your losses.

video quality from 2005
audio quality from 1990
insights from 2026
🤣🤣
I actually talked to him a while ago about getting a microphone helps with the echo sound
lol was about to say whats up with the audio , but dang thanks nostalgia
100
100% hahaha
Nostalgia No Mics
good one hahahha for real
Underrated comment 😂😂
Lol
LMAO
Actual brilliant
Why does it sound like ur under water😭
Sounds like it's the audio from the webcam/phone recording.
I thought you meant he was talking like he’s underwater on his investments lol
Definitely needs to work on the sound/microphone
Alex is on his boat bro
@@MikeNeumeister that is also probably the case it seems, with a rando unknown sponsor drop.
Audio was recorded on a Edison phonograph using wax cylinders. I’m not kidding.
He did it on purpose for the comment’s engagement
lol he really does think like 5d chess
It worked and I love it
Yeah he use to be more fun to watch before the rip and ships
Feels like I'm watching a zoom recording for class haha
Blink rapidly if you are being held against your will. Sounds like you’re in a hidden chamber in PokePlumber’s house.
You missed the Greninja & Kingdra promos from Shrouded Fable… 400% gain since release
I think you used the wrong mic on this video :(
No mic
The audio quality sounds like it's coming through a CRT and I'm on some weird 2am infomercial, very nostalgic
Everyone buying those umbreon cards right now "were going to the mooooooooooooon" 6 months later they sell for a major loss because they don't actually want the card they just wanted free tendies.
I think most collectors just started and now we’re seeing big booms in xy, sun moon and sword and shield.
That speculation on Persian and Team Rocket Returns is spot on
Just graded my m rayquaza from ancient origins and got a psa 10! Last sold 2500 bucks!
Don’t listen to those guys who complain about audio quality. I like it, the echo reminds me of the happy days in solitary confinement at federal super max! 😂
Pokerev videos would never have sound quality like this
They’d also never have the value added that Alex’s content has 🤷🏼♂️

Pikachu grey hat is also blowing up so fast and the pf charizard sir is blowing up fast too but the 151 charizard 151 is just nuts lol

I hard agree with the roaring moon. It’s such a cool art, lots going on in it but it’s not messy. I gotta grab one
I thought I was listening to a speech from WW1💀
Love videos like this to help with prices so I don’t have to go searching for everyone separately to either buy or sell.

Hey do you think I should sell my sylveon gx and celebrations umbreon now or we arent done the eeveelutions fever yet?
He truly lives up to his "Nostalgia" moniker
I had a choice between a raw bubble mew, raw lugia v alt from st, psa 10 tyranitar alt art, or a sealed lost origin booster box. (I had a bunch of store credit at my lcs, and i went with the sealed lo booster box to add to the pc. The cards are going up but i feel i made the right choice.

Grabbed a lot of cards Mimicbrew covered yesterday haha 😆
You called it, the houndoom and Persian are up to the 70-90 range on eBay TWO DAYS AFTER the video 🤣
This video most likely caused that to happen. Especially when 18,000 people viewed this video.
The mewtwo gx is one of the best cards I’ve ever seen. I sadly didn’t pull one and haven’t got one yet
What do you think of the mew ex promo from the 151 upc? 053. Do you think it will go over 60 or 70 one day?
Dang I have a lot of the cards in this video. Feels nice to see those prices. Hopefully they hold the value or increase and people have interest down the road.
I just pulled that Evee tonight from twilight ETB 😊 🥃
Celebrations Shining Magikarp seems like it’s moving.. the set in general is being overlooked 👀
Fusion Strike Etbs to the moon
Booster boxes lol
that umbreon v tg22 I swear doubled overnight. Bought a BGS 9.5 for $50 last week an updated value at $80 the other day
I agree on persian, I picked up like 10 copies 2-3 weeks ago.
Scarlet and violet will be the best generation of all time. Brought the og’s back and is absolutely exploding in popularity with the young crowd. Ad that up and this will be a nostalgic addicts wet dream in the future…

You’re swimming my man lol sounds like it did at the start of the stream yesterday 😂
Hey there’s my gengar lol with the pics
No way! I got the M. Rayquaza, Sylveon, Flareon and Umbreon(XY) as duplicates(like 4-5 copies of each easily) from when I collected hard back around those times. haha That's awesome.
I'm with you on the Persian, easily a high vale card
🤫been binging your vids lately 👊🏻
he's a good content creator!
@ very cool channel !
Paldean fates booster bundles for $47 out the door is tempting but almost close to my ceiling of purchases but also I want to secure them!! Bubble mew, glass zard, shinys!
I wonder what Pokémon is gonna do for their 30th anniversary

I must have some foresight for cards lol picked up Gengar a year ago and Rayquaza s few months ago
I just pulled a roaring moon EX from paradox the other day
my man talking to us from the moon, hes literally went to the moon
That iron Valliant is dope af. bought one.
love the content man, please upgrade the setup.
Side note I think you skipped over Giovanni's Exile! from HF
Umbreon Gold Star from Celebrations is going nuts…by next year is that going to be a $200 card?!?!
Epic video love these videos so much food for thought
Keep up the great content man no one does it like you
Leaving behind the I’m going to wait crowd 😂
Snooze you loose in this hobby now
Watching this on 1/29 and you can't find a Persian under $90 now...4 days later
that jessie and james card might spike up in price again once they release some teaser of the team rocket set 😄
i picked up 2 cz mini tins yesterday and one pack of the 2 packs had a leafeon vstar, mewtwo vstar and mew.... crazy shit! now im trying to sell them all 3 plus a deoxys vstar for 160

When Clark Kent shows up instead of Superman.... at least we heard. Let It run
Dropped my phone in water a few minutes ago so this video sounds even crazier for me
Appreciate the content and the information. I've yet to get involved in singles yet, and don't plan to for a while, but content like yours is helping me build my knowledge for when I eventually do
The Numa Numa audio quality is sending me 🤣
I bought 10 copies of the drowzee 9 months ago 🤑
I just hit a PSA 10 on secret rare alt art mewtwo from breakthrough and a full art steven from ancient origins. Im just excited and wanted to tell people. Nothing like turning 60 bucks into 800 bucks after scouring the internet for hours and having it pay off occasionally.
Alex did you film this from space? 😂😂 The audio
Is 130 a good price for a S&V base set booster box?
Is Nomics a singles stonker now? I like it. 🚀
Mic quality kinda weird but I like it 🐟
Browse scarlet base is the most expensive card in psa 10 $400
i just like collecting sealed though
Wow Gengar now surpass the giratina and rayquaza now. Man kind of hurt selling alot these back in April 2024 for the low, I would've made 3x atm 😅
We do love those gains 👌
I mean, i know, minter rarer older better or smth, but that sound quality is to vintage even for cabal 😅
you can literally look at any pokemon item and it all went up in Dec! Get to the cards we need to watch man
I would invest that money into a new mic!
Cant stop myself😂😂 everytime i click on your videos i yell folkssss!!
If evolving skies hits 10k a box Alex might buy a mic😂
FINALLY THE OLD NOSTALGIC VIDEO WITH CLASSIC AUDIO IS BACK! ❤ F the haters!! 😂
Mewtwo GX is GOATED. Finally getting the respect it deserves
Got like 8 miraidon’s in a PSA 10 for dirt cheap. Very obvious play.
FOLKS.....I'm underwater
I have a feeling this video led into the stream yesterday way plumber let him know the mic wasn’t right
Tag Team alt arts 📈
I listened to this video on my walkman
Loud and clear
Every day I wake up and am greeted with the "FOLKS" It truly makes it easier to go on about my tasks. Thank you so much Alex.
I sold a raw mint mew tube for $160 couple weeks ago. 😢
Thanks
First time sound was a bit muffled, just fyi if you changed something around, otherwise enjoyed content as always
Hey man I think something is off with your microphone today, probably a sign to go all in on shrouded fable.
Everything is a risk, but that is for all investing. You will have winners and losers, but if you stay consistent, you will eventually get that one big win, which will easily make up for all your losses.
I've been SCREAMING for years in every comment section of every video that the old mega full art cards were way undervalued
Sold his audio pickup for these investments.
I'm commenting about the mic for the TH-cam algorithm
My buddy had a test tube mew 2 for 110 but I picked up all the eveelutions from tf, and picked Misty's starmie over mew lol damn it.
I sold the magikarp at 190
Love these types of videos.
Damm that quality of sound 😂😂
