celebrations was what made me dive back into collecting head first. I have been heavy in the game now for the last 3 years straight. I have a bunch of this sealed, all bought at msrp. Not that its performing like generations or ES, but because of the cards in the set. The starters. No matter if the venusaur and balstoise are only $5 hits today, pulling them is still SO FUN no matter who you are. I feel like THAT alone will carry this set strong into the future.
It'll take off. Evolutions may not have technically been THE 20th anniversary set, but it was the 20th anniversary year set that everyone flocked back to the hobby for, and those Evolutions holo Charizards were $12 for 3 years straight until they took off and hit $3500 for a PSA 10 and over $100 raw in 2021. Sealed Celebrations is going to outpace just about every other set in price appreciation over the next 1-2 years.
The set up on the PSA numbers is difficult to digest. Is there no better visual representation? what are the columns and what are the number of the grade count?
That's definitely the weakest part of it. Too small and too easy to pull everything except the Zard. The nostalgia factor does balance it out to a certain extent though. It's a fun set.
Such a lovely set! Love all the promo's from CEL. And I have a place in my heart for the Cleffa from CEL, because I loved this card as a kid in the origin form😊
The 25th Anniversary celebrations set was release Oct 8th, 2021, which means we are less than 2 years away from the 30th set. For people who own the chase card or the sealed products, hold on tight, now is NOT the time to sell yet:P
I have the celebrations zard (pulled it myself from a collectors chest including the rainbow pikachu from vivid voltage), blastoise and venusaur in psa 10 keeping it a looooong time
One of those products where there's zero chance of me selling it anytime soon because I love having packs with the old artwork in. Nostalgia is powerful drug. 😅 Maybe if it hits 200 an ETB I'll consider it.
When Celebrations hits new highs and has a tiny bit of momentum upward, nothing will skyrocket like it since what we saw with Evolving Skies. Wouldn't even touch these newer sets when you can still buy Celebrations relatively cheap. It's going to 5x.
Out of curiosity, how much would you say Pocket has influenced the influx of interest recently? I understand it has been building for a bit, but I’m always curious since GO’s release affected game sales in a big sense.
I've had a large amount of full art cards and some rainbow rares. I only started getting back into collecting lately. I'm out of the loop with a lot of these older sets. I've never pre-ordered any products before, but prismatic evolutions changed that. I really like eevee and missed out on evolving skies obviously so I wanted to try and pull some modern eevee special illustration rares or ex cards.
The metal charizard in a psa 10 has seen crazy changes over the years, was $15000 aud when psa stopped grading them then down to $2000 aud after they started again, absolutely insane
Don't forget we also have the new PTCG game which is gonna get a lot of people into or back into the physical card game as it's such an easy entry point to the hobby, there will certainly be people who transfer into the physical products from that
Danny, appreciate this! I love single card analysis even on small cards. The % is king! I just decided to speculate and buy an ungodly amount of Dark Sylveon Vs 🤞🏻
Some poketuber recently said that celebrations wasn’t that good… this set is historic. I can see packs of celebrations becoming as expensive as double crisis.
Since prismatic evolutions is sold out for pre order absolutely everywhere I assume this set will not be very expensive to acquire later on. A lot of cards but so much is being bought up. Only way it doesn’t immediately plummet after release is if people buy just to resell. If they rip it should be cheap haven’t been able to pre order anything. GameStop did a preorder 2 days ago I worked until 11 they open at 12 in my state and I was at the doors at 12:30 and already maxed out pre orders at all 3 stores around me absolutely insane
No scalpers will sell for more then retail and since there will be none available to buy at retail stores since or orders are maxed out you either have to get lucky and catch a restock online before bots hit them or happen to walk in store and find a random one on shelf. Most likely if you’re in a large city like me you won’t and will either be forced to pay scalping prices or play the long game and try to wait out the madness and hope it starts to fall off quickly. Since it is an Eveeloution set I doubt that will be the case so I’ll have to spend probably 15-20 over retail for a simple etc depending on what happens release day
@@DannyPhantump Absolutely people are hyping up the moonbreon 2.0 hoping it surplus’s 1 thousand dollars. I just want to be able to get an etb and a few booster bundles. I normally do about 150 packs per set then slowly acquire the rest via trades or single purchase but this set is already aggravating, as preorders are up and out of stock in half a second. Pokemon center already canceled my pre order for the 2 etbs via preorder. Saying my order was “placed after it was sold out” even though I got a confirmation and everything. Reached out to support and their best advice was for me to give my email to the account I already have email notifications on for, to make sure I get further restock information. It’s absurd. Never had an issue pre ordering an item before. Hoping the new rocket set is going to be amazing so I can focus on that until prismatic calms down.
i saw the japanese chonkachu in my japan trip and honestly, i should've known then that once I got back from my trip, I'll be extremely hooked and now i'm opening packs and tuning into every pokemon tcg release TOT
@DannyPhantump - Funny you should put up a video about Celebrations - just saw some 25th Anniversary wooden Deck Boxes at Walmart that I'm not sure if I missed or were just really late to the Celebration. Random timing. Separate question - whatever happened to the giveaways you talked about last year, helping the winner to get a grail card or collecting goal? Were there unexpected logistics that made it unfeasible to keep doing, or did the first winner just pee in the proverbial pool? Was a really cool/unique idea, so I'd hate to hear someone messed it up for you. Later!
I actually hate the celebration set as it's just a bunch of reprint cards from other sets however about a year and a half ago I was able to pick it up really cheap about seven sealed products and have refrained from opening them just for my pure distaste of the set LOL I guess it paid off literally
I think it would've been better if they'd done what they did to the original Pikachu to a few other cards. Like if they did something similar with the base Charizard, give him a background, made it more like an alt art. Do that with all three starters and the set becomes way better I think. Not that I hated it but it definitely could've been better. They also should've changed the Pikachu stamp for the "25" stamp that's on the Japanese cards. More appealing on the eye in my opinion.
Been getting some celebrations, what is the most efficient buys here? I saw some chests that seemed like a good way to get some. I am also back into collecting since I was a kid so I am after celebrations and 151.

Celebrations is great, people are definitely missing out. I got a sealed lot very cheap just 2 weeks ago!
how do i get one
of those surging sparks binders?
my kid just got into it and luckily opened one of the expensive SI Rare cards (Hydreigon EX)
Just started collecting again, almost complete 151... celebrations is next!
Celebrations was great. I like the throw back art. Birthday cake pikachu was my favorite ❤❤❤
The set up on the PSA numbers is difficult to digest. Is there no better visual representation? what are the columns and what are the number of the grade count?
The columns just go in order from 1-10. I can try and make it more attractive in the future.
Celebrations is what brought me back into Pokemon cards. I still have many unopen products from this line.
Near the end of celebrations being everywhere I tried grabbing all I could. Ripped some and kept a nice size tote of them as well.
I have 30 celebrations charzard sylveon boxes if you want them for 45 each
I haven't heard anyone talk about celebrations in a HOT minute. I never had great luck with it 😅
We have always loved celebrations for its uniqueness. We bought the shiny mew for our binder last year, such a nice card...
Celebrations was one of the sets that got me back into really collecting again! Glad to see the community appreciate the set more!
That Pikachu V-Union is great. So many happy Pikachus!
i still have celebrations unopened!!!
I actually don’t really like celebrations that much. The idea is great, but they should have made the set a bit larger in my opinion!
That's definitely the weakest part of it. Too small and too easy to pull everything except the Zard. The nostalgia factor does balance it out to a certain extent though. It's a fun set.
I agree. I'm not a fan. Some recycled art for "nostalgia" reasons...I guess. But the hype and the price of sealed product makes zero sense to me.
It's because it's based off vintage. And vintage artworks are rubbish.
@@Iamwillz Blasphemy!
This set is straight magic. I love the og card with the new style texture.
I love that birthday pikachu from celebrations!❤
Nostalgia at its best. Love this set and it's products!
Celebrations was my first complete set, I love the set
Where do you get the graded reports from - is that something we can access too?
Such a lovely set! Love all the promo's from CEL. And I have a place in my heart for the Cleffa from CEL, because I loved this card as a kid in the origin form😊
Would be interested in the singles pricing as well
It took me around 63 packs to finish the classic collection master set for celebrations. Had a lot of fun doing that
I have the McDonald's celebrations set as well as pokemon celebrations complete sets!!😊
I just finished my master set for celebrations last week
Celebrations goes crazy
The 25th Anniversary celebrations set was release Oct 8th, 2021, which means we are less than 2 years away from the 30th set. For people who own the chase card or the sealed products, hold on tight, now is NOT the time to sell yet:P
I have two Charizards I pulled
I have the celebrations zard (pulled it myself from a collectors chest including the rainbow pikachu from vivid voltage), blastoise and venusaur in psa 10 keeping it a looooong time
One of those products where there's zero chance of me selling it anytime soon because I love having packs with the old artwork in. Nostalgia is powerful drug. 😅 Maybe if it hits 200 an ETB I'll consider it.
I wish I could get my hands on Celebrations. 😍😍😍
When Celebrations hits new highs and has a tiny bit of momentum upward, nothing will skyrocket like it since what we saw with Evolving Skies. Wouldn't even touch these newer sets when you can still buy Celebrations relatively cheap. It's going to 5x.
Aw man I was JUST about to get some Celebrations items...
Out of curiosity, how much would you say Pocket has influenced the influx of interest recently? I understand it has been building for a bit, but I’m always curious since GO’s release affected game sales in a big sense.
Get your metal Zard while you can. The only way to get your hands on a nice one will be cracking the Collector Boxes. Like anyone is going to do that.
Danny how can i get a hold of pat and rev before i can get a hold of you lol?
lol I replied to your last comment and asked you to email me! dannyphantumpcontent@gmail.com
I can see why this set was so popular. I can’t see myself crack packs now though.
That custom surging sparks binder is so pretty, even if it didn’t have all the cards inside I’d be happy to win it.
I love this set so much!!!i have a while collection i started in accident and now I'm always looking for more to add 🎉🎉🎉
I've had a large amount of full art cards and some rainbow rares. I only started getting back into collecting lately. I'm out of the loop with a lot of these older sets. I've never pre-ordered any products before, but prismatic evolutions changed that.

Have you seen the promos in the eeveelution vmax premium collection box?
@ANTHIT If you mean the flareon, jolteon, and vaporeon vmax boxes, yes. Never got them either. The 3 box set looks around 400$ on tcgplayer.
Love a bit of Celebrations.
The metal charizard in a psa 10 has seen crazy changes over the years, was $15000 aud when psa stopped grading them then down to $2000 aud after they started again, absolutely insane
Celebrations is a must experience set. It was perfect for a side set. Lots of great products too. Too bad there wasn't booster boxes.
Wish I'd kept some of this sealed 😢
Never had good luck opening celebrations
how do you win the master set?
Prismatic evolution SIR LOOK so good. Cant wait
started collecting earlier this year, bought the pc etb & pulled charizard in my first 4 packs
I love celebrations. I have 3 complete master set, as well as, 2 PSA 10 classic set. It’s fun to open for OGs.
i saw the pokemon celebrations elite trainer box in my local store, i already knew the cost is actually that much around $130.
Pulled a Gold Pika and SIR in a single booster box the other day!
That binder looks great
Surging sparks really got me hooked! Also looking forward to that prismatic evolutions
I love Celebrations!!! I wish I had more of the Japanese version of celebrations!
Love the celebrations set
Thanks for the amazing video :)
With Prismatic Booster Bundles coming in March, when do you think the bulk of booster bundle pre-orders will be posted?
Some of the charizard and dark Sylveon boxes had evolving skies instead of battle styles. That would affect the price a lot.
Only the smaller box’s did. The one from GameStop that had sylveon and charizard had the bad packs.
@justinalexander4166 Are you sure? ebay shows both
Just bought 3 UPCs from the colosseum 🎉
Loved that i was able to complete celebrations since it brought me back to collecting
A lot
Of these collection boxes have evolving skies.
I’m still saving to cop my celebrations UPC fork , ima have to either hurry or wait & pray
I have one of the 279 PSA 10 metal pikachu’s but my zard only graded an 8 :(
I could only get a hold of 1 zard from celebrations. But lovely set
Don't forget we also have the new PTCG game which is gonna get a lot of people into or back into the physical card game as it's such an easy entry point to the hobby, there will certainly be people who transfer into the physical products from that
Thank goodness I just bought a Greninja gold Star psa 10
The PSA 10 pop report on that card is weirdly low for a modern card. Must be a tough one to grade.
@ Tried to grade one myself and got a 9 😭 ETB promos have been pretty rough to 10 in my experience
@@freezetheverseYT Yeah they get damaged so easily. 😭😭
Love the Binder! I can't wait for prismatic as I been holding out since completing my 151 master set.
Danny, appreciate this! I love single card analysis even on small cards. The % is king! I just decided to speculate and buy an ungodly amount of Dark Sylveon Vs 🤞🏻
I've seen so many people say that Pokemon 151 is a better version of Celebrations. I could not disagree more. I absolutely love Celebrations.
I’m excited for what the future of Pokemon cards will look like. I need to learn more about the hobby but I love the community.
reall ylove the binder and binder set
Finally i found 11 upcs . These were truelly hard to get for a seasoned hunter .ive kept them for almost 4 years lol
Some poketuber recently said that celebrations wasn’t that good… this set is historic. I can see packs of celebrations becoming as expensive as double crisis.
It literally is a small set that covers the history of Pokemon. There are so many stories that this set tells it’s insane!
@ but that how you know you truly love collecting AND playing. I wish more could and would play. Thanks Danny for all that you do.
Thanks for keeping us updated in all of these different areas during this craze 💪
That’s Surging Sparks binder is a beautiful work of art, The Unlucky Collector
Any plans on Black Friday deals?
Since prismatic evolutions is sold out for pre order absolutely everywhere I assume this set will not be very expensive to acquire later on. A lot of cards but so much is being bought up.

Wouldn't reselling make it cheaper since they'll flood the market? Ripping will only make the boxes more expensive since there's less out there.
No scalpers will sell for more then retail and since there will be none available to buy at retail stores since or orders are maxed out you either have to get lucky and catch a restock online before bots hit them or happen to walk in store and find a random one on shelf.

Prismatic Evolutions is just going to be an extremely different beast. It’s not out for 2 months and it’s already become and overwhelming product

must go buy celebrations now Danny said so!!!
Thanks for hyping it up, we appreciate it being low price
I'm hoping the Pokemon center etb gets love
can you imagine the god packs in festival being the entire set of eveelution sirs
I really want the surging sparks squirtle.
Binder is beautiful
Thank you as always Danny
🔥🔥🔥 cant wait to see you do these terastal festival
Binder is dope.
Theres a gold metal zard, come on guys. In 10 years that thing will be worth more than any other sealed products
I actually hate the celebration set as it's just a bunch of reprint cards from other sets however about a year and a half ago I was able to pick it up really cheap about seven sealed products and have refrained from opening them just for my pure distaste of the set LOL I guess it paid off literally

Still need those metal cards
🎉cheers🎉 love some celebrations!
Bought the ETB for $30

man surging sparks is such a beautiful set
Celebrations is my only master😅…Would love to add that Surging Sparks Master set to my collection.
Celebrations is a great set!! All Pokemon cards are on the up and up! Love to get some cards!
Celebrations is celebrating!
Poor Celebrations
I want to know why generations hasn't really grown.
I came into the hobby from 151 so this was super interesting to me!
so its booming and celebrating for it
Not a set for me got everything I want from it
And I never hold anything always open 😂
What’s going to be a god box from prismatic?
I'm loving Surging Sparks!!!!
