Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last one. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of poor investing decisions that I would never have made if I hadn't been so concerned about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I wasn't sure whether I should start saving for a house. In the end, I sold everything I had, and the house required more maintenance than I had anticipated. I'm not sure how much longer I can go on like this
True. Together with the help of a financial planner, I was able to diversify my portfolio across several markets and produce a net profit of over one million dollars from high dividend yield bonds, ETFs, and stocks. It is essential that you have a variety of exposures, especially with businesses that are already profitable
I think Japanese is the best play right now. Can get 151, Lost Abyss, Star Birth & Vstar universe for $58, Shiny treasure, Crimson Haze, Ruler of the black flame, Ancient Roar, Future flash, Cyber Judge, Scarlet EX, raging Surf, Violet EX, Mask of Change, Night Wanderer, Wild Force for $29, Triple beat, Clay burst, Incandescent Arcana, Paradigm trigger for $36. For these boxes to double and triple in price is not such a stretch. When the Japanese economy and Yen bounces back there will be people coming back for these that had to sell just to get by. For a $200 Lost origin box to double and triple will definitely take a longer time. you can get 4 to 6 Japanese boxes for 1 $200 English box. Japanese will have its day again.
My Target still has plenty of chilling reign ETBs and hidden potential Giratina v tins but as far as booster boxes go the only one worth a damn right now is the Japanese 151 set. Still able to get them for $75 and the value on the set is more than evolving skies which is all the explanation anyone needs. Chilling reign is a good set only because of the abysmal pull rates. It will without a doubt be worth big bucks but right now at $220-$240 a booster it’s simply not worth it unless you plan on holding onto them until 2026 at the earliest.
@@thehobbydad6930 and short handing the rest of us. I bet the people lucky enough to get the product early have a ton of it, and that’s why it’s delayed. They might as well be truthful about why they have non for the initial release day.
I was wondering but I am thinking its the big players who are pumping it up before the possible reprint drops prices again. Seems like this has happened with Paldea and is starting to look like it is for 151 before the reprint drops.
I don’t think shrouded will get open quite as much as stellar crown. For me I think people will be getting the singles instead of opening packs themselves
Wanting to get into collecting/investing. I see you have mostly reference box of packs. Do people invest in trainer boxes? Or the packs with promo cards with 4 booster packs. Or should you only buy full boxes? Thanks
Everything is okay, but the generally accepted thing is that booster boxes are typically best. They are the most condensed value in an easy to store box
Anyone with pokemon knowledge give me some advice. I want to invest in a pikemon card between 1-1.5k and give it to my son who can sell when he's 18 years old. Any recommendations? I like psa 9 1st edition gyrados. Ir base set charizard psa 9. What do use all think? Any better options?
Actually won’t be 2/3 done with the SV era, Gen 10 video game isn’t coming until 2026, which means the SV era either needs 16 main sets or they need to start spacing them out. No way they release Gen 10 cards before the game.
Just realised the Pokémon 151 binder has 360 slots but including the reverse hollows there are 372 cards in the English set , why is the maths not mathing😂
Shrouded Fable is looking really weak compared to the rest of the 2024 sets. Also, Halloween vibe released way before the holiday seems..... IDK..... Who approved this?
I think even 151 was ugly and underwhelming except for a few cards. Let’s hope the Tag team and team rocket sets are gorgeous. Those will be the best sets in SV I think
I think people just want these sets with tons of crazy cards. It’s not going to happen, or it shouldn’t. What makes the chase cards so fun to go for, aside the value, is the fact they’re some of the coolest looking cards. If there was tons of them, they lose their lust. 🤷🏻♂️
lol I bought cards last month before all this news came out. So I don’t know what the difference is. This stuff was happening long before the news broke this week
I think people also forget people collect sealed products. They're not looking to open it. Look at sets like black and white. Opening the box almost guarantees losing value lol.
@@horatiocaine9241 They won't now, but in 10 years time unsealed packs won't hold value or increase because of CT scanners. Always by sealed product if looking to see long term gains imo
I pre order a sealed Case of Stellar Crown. I dont like the Shrouded Fabel Set
Why dont you open packs at the end of the video like you used too!? I really liked that part of your vids.
Was trying it out to see if my TH-cam analytics would be any different - plus budget cuts lol!

Every one of us has made mistakes at some point. Consider financial planning

Would you mind telling me about your financial planner ?

Love the videos! Starting a sealed collection as a returning collector. Where can I see if they’re doing a reprint on sets?
PokeBeach is a great resource, and then other TH-camrs who report the news
@@ThePokeOffice appreciate you brotha! Keep up the amazing content!
As usual brilliant work! Love all the research you do for us
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video!
Great summary - thanks for putting this together!! 🙌
Thanks mate
The crown zenith box at sams club is going to have 14 packs for like 40 usd
Yea it’s going to be a great pickup I think. Too bad it’s not coming to canada
Why did some content creators receive the ETB when it’s delayed? I saw a couple opening the ETBs and was super confused…thanks for all the content!
Exactly, i was thinking same thing. Seems wierd af@?
@@brettcollins474 it’s sus, and most likely just the unfair divide between normal people and their prized TH-cam faces.
Amazing profit through free marketing and advertising through content creators.

Would you say that every Pokemon sealed case goes up over time regardless of how bad it is?
💯 . I watched a video earlier that had the worst set of 2003 is worth thousands in 2024
@@cheeseslice9993 i watched multiple vids that they all go up. Just doing more research b4 committing
Just Google any set you want. Don't take advice from youtube comments
To my knowledge, every Pokemon product has at least reached msrp over time. Some obviously reach highs faster than other
OBF likely rising due to Shrouded Fable providing a lot of playable cards that support Dark tera Zard ex being the dusknoir line
I was wondering but I am thinking its the big players who are pumping it up before the possible reprint drops prices again. Seems like this has happened with Paldea and is starting to look like it is for 151 before the reprint drops.
@@Top_Loaded_JRGS77tbh i think its pretty inline with shrouded fable release helping an older deck out to deal with meta shifts.
I don’t think shrouded will get open quite as much as stellar crown. For me I think people will be getting the singles instead of opening packs themselves
Based on?

Id look for a PSA10 for his first card! Which card i could not tell you but charizards hold their value very well.
@@benten9785 psa 10 xharizard 1st edition or base set is tooo expensive sadly!
I think i would buy him booster box like 1.5k of booster box best chance to go up
How big is sams club? will it affect the CZ big time?
Hey, do you have any shops n sites you recomend for buying japanese sets?
PokeNE.com is really good
@ThePokeOffice Sweet thanks!
Im buying up crown zenith (packs) like hell. Got high belivie that it will explode. What do you guys think?
long term buy sealed products. will always be better in long run. plus the ct scanners will effect individual pack values in future. good luck

Oof
Yeah why havent you been opening packs at the end of vids? Its part of why i liked your vids soo much. Miss that part..
Was trying it out to see if my TH-cam analytics would be any different - plus budget cuts lol!
@@ThePokeOffice budget cuts I feel that!
Shrouded Fable is looking really weak compared to the rest of the 2024 sets. Also, Halloween vibe released way before the holiday seems..... IDK..... Who approved this?
paldean fates is not on par with hidden fates xD
I think it is - and in 3 years, people will look at paldean fates very fondly I think
This set doesnt feel special in anyway honestly... like this could be a normal set..
Are you talking about shrouded fable?
@@ThePokeOffice yes Shrouded Fable. For some reason it just feels normal. Nothing really special about it imo
I think even 151 was ugly and underwhelming except for a few cards. Let’s hope the Tag team and team rocket sets are gorgeous. Those will be the best sets in SV I think
@SmoothOperator419 I think 151 was a great. It had God Packs, illustrations rares, and some awesome SIR arts. Zapdos, big three etc.
I think people just want these sets with tons of crazy cards. It’s not going to happen, or it shouldn’t. What makes the chase cards so fun to go for, aside the value, is the fact they’re some of the coolest looking cards. If there was tons of them, they lose their lust. 🤷🏻♂️
Love ❤
And om still buying cheap chilling reign...think im way behind the mark lol 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing wrong if you can find cheap chilling reign
Just buy a case of any new set under 600 is the goal. They go up over thousands over time.
Still buy even with people ct scanning them?
lol I bought cards last month before all this news came out. So I don’t know what the difference is. This stuff was happening long before the news broke this week
I think people also forget people collect sealed products. They're not looking to open it. Look at sets like black and white. Opening the box almost guarantees losing value lol.
lol. No one paying 100’s to scan modern
It costs $70 to CT scan a pack. No one will pay like $3k to do a modern booster box lol. It’s a good story tho
