ES is widely considered to be the best modern set released so far. Would not be surprised if it clears $2k by the time the 30th anniversary arrives in 2026. IMO, ES is a leading indicator for modern sealed products and was making moves even in the bear market. Exciting times ahead.
I was literally arguing with people why they should be buying the fusion strike stadiums and they wouldn't commit, its like arguing with someone to pick up money on the floor
@ name a better set? I’ve thought about it, I think it’s harder than you think to pick a clear #1. Maybe base, some WOTC set, but I think EvS might be it!
And think about it, if you buy right now at $1000 people say you’re crazy… But when it doubles next year, you’ll look extremely smart on your 100% gain.
Expecting boxes to increase 150% a year when we weren’t even in a bull market is ridiculous. People are going to be VERY upset if they think current returns are going to continue
You’re right man. Honestly I’m so far behind the 8-ball not expecting everything to go up 150% a year. My expectations are way too low! $2000 a box next Christmas, ship it!!
Saw this coming in 2021 and bought 7 booster boxes for $150 CAD, in addition to buying the entire Master Set+ (Promos & Espeon Alt, because it should have been in ES) as singles one at a time. As well as buying a bunch of Eevee Heroes booster boxes and buying the Master Set for that one card at a time.
I opened 197 packs of fusion strike last night. No Gengar. Did pull the top 2 mews. I already have pulled 2 Gengars so I guess I cannot complain. I bought all these sleeves on the PC for 3.99 pack so screw it. Lol
The best part is booster boxes arent going to retrace a whole lot. I dont even think thisll go down 20% after the market crashes. Thst would put it at 800 and i doubt thatll happen. Good to see fusion and LO popping off too. Fusion is in the 300 to 350 range and that took me by surprised at the current rate. I also perfer it over LO but i may slgutly out the girtantina ahead of the gengar
Fusion is even higher right now. Pushing $375. LO was already up in the $280-290 range when I checked last night. Insane how fast these boxes are moving
It's going to double someday. Question is do you want to freeze up 1,000 atm. I guess the real question is does it do something insane and like triple in the Sametime it hit 1k. That's the better question Will it outpace it'd first huge run
Right, but then you’re 1) Not getting a premium on the sealed boxes. 2) Pay more in shipping since it’ll be a larger box. And 3) Still better to buy booster boxes and PC ETBs out the game since they outperform.
@@PokeProfit Agree with your #3 As for 1 & 2 disagree, Still getting a premium selling them 9 at a time, why assume people only want to buy them 1 at a time. More economical to ship 9 in one box then shipping 9 of them in individual boxes, this translates into higher sale price on the item when selling them 9 at a time. Same with 3 pack blisters, sell them 12 at a time, 36 packs like a booster box. Lots of people do this. Current postage rates actually negate the idea of selling items one at a time to maximize profit.
It’s incredibly unlikely you’re going to sell 9 to one person in the future. If someone is buying a lot like that, they are presumably doing it for the pack value and not because they wanted specifically (9) build and battle kits. At that point, they would probably buy a sealed display of 10. If you want to argue that there would still be that very rare buyer that is going to buy a massive amount of loose kits and pay top dollar, fair enough, but that’s then opening yourself up to an counter argument about less liquidity. As for 2) I was referring to a booster box. You’ll pay more to ship 9 build and battles than you would the most compact version of 36 packs ever created.
Good video and clarification. It is fun going through my inventory over the past 4-years and seeing the returns on non-booster box items. A lot of great decisions, and a few “whoopsies.” Thankfully, in our current market, the bad purchases have been easy to sell off.
Have a sealed booster box case in my closet. Think 2k each Box until End of 2026 is possible. Crazy.. Longterm I think this Box will go for 5k+ in 5-10 years.

Crazy times ahead imo. The hobby is about to explode with the sets incoming. ES is about to climb fast in 2025 with all the new and old fans coming into the hobby. I wouldn't be surprised is its 1.5-2k in a few months.
no bbs but i did think the same thing for the past years been stocking up at evo skies loose packs for 7 bucks each from aux produts got like 228 atm cant wait till there 50 bucks each like team up
evolving is going to keep breaking expectations. $1,000 is going to be a deal compared to where this box is at in another 2-3 years.

Any advice for purchasing something right now?
Might be the best set ever produced by Pokemon…
Modern set sure....but best set ever.. ehh, not sure
@ name a better set? I’ve thought about it, I think it’s harder than you think to pick a clear #1. Maybe base, some WOTC set, but I think EvS might be it!
Fully thought this box was going to say around that 700-800 range back a few months ago. Crazy gains in only a just a few months.
Will be $2000 a box by 2026. Watch. Laugh if you want but watch.
By June, 2025
100% agree
Wouldn’t surprise me at this point
3k/5knzd within 2 & half years is what I think.
And think about it, if you buy right now at $1000 people say you’re crazy… But when it doubles next year, you’ll look extremely smart on your 100% gain.
How is it rediculous that this is a 1k box? It’s literally the best set of the modern Pokémon era and is already almost 5 years old…
Expecting boxes to increase 150% a year when we weren’t even in a bull market is ridiculous. People are going to be VERY upset if they think current returns are going to continue
More like 3,5 years actually... but it's not rediculous imo.
I still coped a ES booster box at $700 today local deal
What I want to know is why evolving skies booster boxes say “unavailable” and not “out of stock” on Pokemon Center
People look into that too much. It’s gone.
The Darkness stacking tin is actually cheaper for Lost Origin. It's 12.99 and you get 2 plus a darkness ablaze
Those will go eventually as well. I’d just be cautious since those types of tins get reprinted with different sets constantly
Yes you were wrong, I told you so.
Bought one box and saw this coming many months ago. Come on, man, we're looking to you for some guidance here.

Put 9 boxes of 4 packs in a single lot,
and now its a booster box worth in one auction/buy it now,
same effort as selling a booster box.

Crazy how much these have moved. I was right there with you and thought they’d go up maybe 10% over the last 6 months of 2024 but here we are lol
you were right about those boxes on pokemon center yesterday, i bought 6 total so thank you :)
Would y’all rather have a case of silver tempest or 1 evolving skies bb?
Depends on pricing.
Personally, ES bb
I bought so many EV cases for $125 each display. I am happy :P
