I think you also have to look at card quality in this comparison. Not just 151, but all S&V have issues with card quality. It’s a big problem if you’re into grading, but still a problem if you don’t because no one likes pulling pack fresh cards with scratches, print lines and white corners
I've opened hundreds of 151 packs and I don't think I've pulled anything PSA 10 worthy. All 3 charizards I pulled have noticeable whitening and they're all straight out of the pack into a penny sleeve and immediately into a top loaders 😞
You must be fairly new to opening packs because it's like that in Sword & Shield, Sun and Moon, and XY as well. English quality is just ass wish they would print them in Japan with their standards.
@Phlegm187 yeah I haven't opened packs in a long time. I usually buy singles or keep products sealed. All I need is Charmander, Charmeleon, Bulbasaur and Zapdos and I can stop opening this set 🤣
Right now no question crown zenith. You can find etbs for $35 while 151 is still going for $50. 151 will eventual get reprinted to hell and back so it’s wise to wait for the price to drop.
@@Sam-c1v5r you could get them black friday-cyber monday for $33 is probably the last he looked. Also I see at least 2 places selling them at $35 still.
I honestly feel like the artwork is way better and more thought out in crown zenith. Ppl are just D riding the base set, but the artwork doesnt compare imo.
151 has better pills but Crown Zenith has a far superior pull rate. Over time crown zenith opening night gain you more unless you get the luck with the heart of the cards on the 151
Crown Zenith is a great set. It's as cheap as it will probably ever be now. Pokemon 151 will get more and more reprints. Its silly to think it won't. If you are a sealed invester Crown Zenith is the set to buy now and Pokemon 151 is the set to buy later when prices drop even more. Pokemon is predictable
Can you elaborate on how you came to your grading? Also, what do you consider an S tier set? I am curious as to what things different people consider when evaluating a set. Thanks!
@@kgbiggz The guy in the video gave CZ an 8.5 and 151 a 9. That's basically the same grade I gave the sets before I even watched the video. What would push 151 to a 10 or S? For me it would be more SIR's for popular pokemon. Dragonite and Arcanine for example. I also believe there's no Mewtwo card in the normal product line. Mewtwo is a Top 3 - 5 original 151 Pokemon. An EX or something should have been in a normal product.
I just picked up 20 booster boxes at MSRP from Walmart. I'm gonna have to put these into storage immediately to keep myself from opening them though 😂😂😂
I managed to Master CZ ( took 4 months) and now I'm just collecting 151 sealed products.
CZ takes the cake. It’s like opening Generations hit after hit. The price will rise quickly. People want to open good pull rate sets not bad…

Crown zenith. 151 prices will continue to drop as they keep printing for the next year or so
Exactly

can't find crown zenith etbs anywhere for $35

@@Sam-c1v5r just 5 from Gamestop a week or 2 ago. Also, I got some on Amazon at $35 a week ago. It might not go on sale again but you never know.
151 is here and here to stay…… forever until the end of time while value rise n rise

Both will age well BUT 151 will age better and it's not debatable. CZ is an B+ set while 151 is an A. Not A+ or S just an A.
