Dude, you’re amazing. I’ll gladly come to trade shows to just shake your hand lol. Whole heartedly agree on that Zapdos illustration too! Such a gorgeous card.
I just purchased a bundle of 36 loose packs of lost origin. I ddfinently want to open some but I also want to keep some sealed. Do you have a recommend ratio?
Do you think the classic collection box will continue to go down in price? I'm thinking about buying one, but it's still around $530 here and I just know if I buy one it will drop to like $400, that's always what happens. I love the set though but damn expensive as hell.
Pretty sick June haul! I'm also gonna wait for PE reprint before picking up a few. Also agree about the Master Sets, haha... really hard to do without heaps of money.
I love the fact that the SV SIRs are so cheap. I actually picked up a really clean copy of iron treads for $3. I really need to find that ting lu. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Legit don’t even collect Japanese cards but wished so bad we got 151 as a main set and had booster boxes cause they would have looked insane so when the Japanese boxes got to 45/55$ shipped on tik tok over the last couple weeks I scooped 16 sealed boxes all said and done to hold onto aside from all my English 151 sealed I have stashed and a completed master set! It’s just too good and when that team rocket set comes out I’m talking at least 3 cases of booster boxes sealed and like 2 cases of sleeves and completed set of course You just have too!
Great content, have you ever been to the national sports collector convention? Not much Pokémon but the scene there has grown a lot in the last couple years
16:07, if you only have standard 9 cards binders though I'm using Dragon Shield 8 pocket pages. Maaaaan it's as if they were made for these, don't even need to flip the binder to appreciate them xV
I bought up a set of Flareon Jolteon Vaporeon vmax premium collection box. Also a Fusion Strike BB / 151 UPC from PKC UK. That UPC comes with the Squirtle promo. The UPC I'm gonna open tomorrow with my nephews. Still don't got the Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur. But the FS BB, promo and Eeveelutions set are for my sealed collection.
I’m real curious to see if CZ gets another ETB reprint this Christmas. The set will be at the two year mark. We will see if Pokémon considers it in the reprint window or if two years is retired
Can someone explain to me what is the difference between The classic collection and the base set ? CLassic venusaur cost around 20 dollars. base set venusaur cost almost 500 dollars. why is the price difference so high ?
Your analogy using the greninja and the birds card from 151, this is the problem I have with the community and the way the market is driven/influenced. That greninja has no business being that expensive when we can compare it to cards like that. Blows my mind!
I feel like Ting-Lu, Wo-Chien and those Penny/Jacq cards are flying under the radar, no way they should be less than $10 they're absolutely beautiful. Same with that Giovanni's Charisma
Getting as many of the legendary dogs from crown Zenith. Picked up a few psa 10 Raikous for £60 GBP. Love the channel watch every video, love from chester, UK
Greninja gold star is a great pick up. It makes sense they are as cheap as they are when you think about the level of scalping that was going on at that time. Incredibly amounts of people buying celebrations etbs and selling the packs. My local 711 had a gold star greninja accidentally in with their celebrations packs on their display for sale by the register. Nice little bonus gift. Least you can do when you’re charging $10 a pack or close to it.
Hey man! Collected Pokémon cards when I was younger and loved it and wanted to get into again because some of the artwork is incredible on these recent gen cards 👌 where is best for a uk based customer to start off getting some etbs and even some psa 10 singles which I would love to own just for a personal collection piece for myself? Sorry to ask a lot here just new to it all
Hi PokeBeard! Great video as always! I’m always on the lookout for all the cards that you mentioned. I just started collecting pokemon and your videos are a big help! Thanks!
Love those top and bottom cards too, sold one top mint but after that decided to keep anymore so kinda regret it but hope your vids don't push the prices up 😂
The glarian bird tins are definitely a steal at the moment, picked up 24x total of the standard size tins at £16.95 a pop, for the UK they actually work out cheaper per pack vs the ETBs with the only downside being storing them is a little less space efficient arguably
@@PokeBeardTCG i agree with ya there! I have 9 card pages of a bunch of the new legends and all the cheap ones like the revavroom, geeta, poppy. As well as over 20 copies each of the charizard and pikachu from the lost origin trainer gallery. These card will eventually go up over $10 for most of them and is a great play now while they are cheap! Great content buddy!
I'm with ya on the SIR's. I sold a ting-lu and really didn't want to but the guy bought a few. I couldn't believe how cheap it was, made it that much harder to let go of
@@PokeBeardTCG I'm not so sure I have #1 movie. I watch a lot of Old Westerns, 40's/50's war movies and tons of old black & white movies. Some of my favorite actors are John Wayne, James Stewart, Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, Clint Walker, Charles Bronson and even Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I prefer the older movies to most of the new stuff they come out with.
Great video! I just grabbed some Silver Tempest booster boxes from Pokémon center before they sell out. I think it’s going to do pretty well in the future.
How many booster boxes of each set do you try to hold on to? Obviously it depends on the set but I’m curious what your strategy is in terms of numbers.
Stumbled upon your channel in early June. Really appreciate your passion for collecting and sharing information with your audience. Top tier content brother 👍🏽
@@PokeBeardTCG yea with Iron Crown. Fortunately I pulled that out of a blister. But yea it might drop to 120 -140. But it’s a extremely popular starter so who knows. But 200 right now I’d pay to get it out the way lol. Love the channel btw your content/community is amazing man.
That's one way to look at PSA compared to CGC. Another way is that CGC was overly strict in their grading which alienated many newcomers in recent years. And yet another way is to further discern how the two grade different eras. For example, it seems like PSA is harsh on vintage. The grading game is definitely a moving target with many dimensions to consider.
@@PokeBeardTCG ive really scored on the 151 set. It's awesome! I have the full set, only 1 charizard, 3 Zapdos SIR ,Blastoise (both). The set is beautiful.
What's up PB hope you're doing well and thanks for another great video. I was able to go into my local Walmart 2 days ago and I found three ETBs of 151 🎉 and they did not let me down 2 Charizard EXs 3 Venusaur EXs one Sir Blastoise Zapdos Sir and the gold card psychic energy.
Pokebeard must get up at 3 in the morning 🤔

The new Pinsir TG from TWLM is a hidden banger
Agreed
I just purchased a bundle of 36 loose packs of lost origin. I ddfinently want to open some but I also want to keep some sealed. Do you have a recommend ratio?
Personally I would say to wait it out much longer, that way they will go for much more per unit versus selling them now
Save 5 art sets. Then open the rest.
@@PokeBeardTCG wdym “art sets”
@@ToeTheB33 pack art sets. 1 of each pack art

Where do you live? It's like $275 in the US
Thanks for the info goat, how do you feel about twilight masquerade for long term investing? I think the hard pull rates make it worth something
It will probably do decent
Great pickups. Personally, I’m scouring a proxy service and picking up SIR/alt arts and 151 booster boxes. Japanese cards are so cheap right now!
Great idea
I’ve been seeing them at Walmart 151. I picked up four ETB of 151 from Walmart in Zappos collection box.
Nice!
Very nice!
Is it weird I like when you say
“NEXT”
😂
Do you think the $1 cards will become valuable? Or do you intend to sell them for a small profit?
My plan is to sell a few to pay for the rest. Get the nice ones graded and then sell when they're high.
Hey!! Happy early Bday! My wife's is the 2nd, and my daughter is the 10th. It's a good month!
Thank you! Mine is the 7th
Yea man that zapdos is def in the top 3 for me in S and V. Can’t believe it is still so cheap.
It's crazy

Been picking up CRZ as well. Now looking for 151 BBs, but unfortunately they aren't as cheap in the Netherlands as they are in the states.
How much are they

When you’re buying singles from tcg and you buy 11, are you always buying as near mint ?
Yes and always ask them to sleeve each one after buying
What’s your plan with all those Greninja promos?
Sell when they get high, grade the nice ones
