I like that you're teaching the TCG Player trick of buying off sellers with shipping as additional. Teaching my 8 year old how to do this and slowly build up inventory.
It's a big deal for anybody on a budget. I built everything I have from my childhood stuff with tricks like this, I'm glad you also appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Interesting, since ive been trying to pull a lot more from Crown Zenith wanting the gorgeous cards, this is really helpful information. Though my favorite I've pulled so far is the Kricketot full art definitely. Such a stunning piece of art with so many Pokemon in it!
I was buying the sea and sky boxes for months before anyone even cared. My “local” Sams is an hour away and I only stop when I up there for work every few weeks and I was the only person buying them for a long time. Ripped 14 boxes and for once actually made money with 2 gold Tina’s both ended up 10’s and 2 palkias among others. 199 hits for $1078.38 raw. Only one I wanted that I missed was mewtwo but I’m still sitting on 75 boxes so might try again soon.
@@ZacharyGalloway very very nice. It's more fun, feels better and potentially more profitable to rip instead of flip. Your sample size is much larger, thanks for the input.
@@ketchemallcards For sure I was ripping a few a week but now that they are getting tougher to source I backed off for now. Some batching issues for a few with dupes in same box but mostly 8-10 hits. Box with 3 radiant zards was interesting. 4 pikachus that have gone up was nice also with 2 in one box though. Worst box was like $18 at the time and I was more than happy with that.
Can you believe they have been putting Yuka Morii's clay art in since the neo era in WOTC. I had a heck of a time going back and looking at all the ones I overlooked over the years. So glad to have my people like you find me on YT.
@ketchemallcards I'm a gen 1 nerd. The best thing I love getting are full art cards. The charmander with his head against the window looking at the pidgy is by far the funniest card I've ever seen.
@@CorkIsSexy I'm actually shocked you are the first person to say that, but I think it goes back to why Pokemon of what it is. Everybody has a different memory of opening and the nostalgia and enjoyment of the hobby comes from memories just like yours. Thanks for sharing
Very interesting! I will say I've been having a blast with these Sea & Sky boxes opening way too many for fun lol! Nice hits by the way! I LOVE the Rayquaza and Kyogre promos in the Sea & Sky box with the cosmos holofoil. I finally found one of each I feel have a good shot at a 10. As for favorite card in this set, for me its easy: Leafeon Vstar. LOVE that card so much and its easily my favorite Leafeon card of all time!
@@PokeBowlCards those promos have got to be low pop. I've opened about 5 and haven't gotten any gradable promos yet. The Leafeon is the card I pulled in my literal first pack in crown zenith, so it is special to me too.
@@scottrulka6587 I can concur with this and a future video for sure ;). I happened to pull the giratina alt and rotom alt from the one lost origin BB I opened at release. Every since then I buy into your theory as well.

I for sure am going to go home and take a closer look at that card. Thank you for enlightening me as well.

@ZacharyGalloway at least it sounds like you got that giratina batch. I'm tempted to open a bunch more myself
That luxuray and Kyogre easily my favourite from the set. Love seeing Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire days!
@@alvinflores9126 I have very fond memories of that generation in particular.
The Zacian V is my favorite card of this set
GREAT choice. So Regal.
When they started doing the clay art, I always have to stop and admire them

Gotta be that Shaymin, sign of good luck for Me 💪
There is no shame in that. ;) Yukika Baba arts are always pleasing to me. Maybe I can snag some Shaymin luck as well
My favorite pokemon for this set is the mew that i got with my cousin for Christmas

The mew is in my top 3 of this set EZPZ
That salandit card is my fav that art work is pretty awesome cant remember the guys name who drew it but awesome 😎
@@doggpow69 heck ya! I knew I was not the only one! Sekio is the illustrator.
I love that Lumineon, def my favorite outside of the golds!
@@GettingJiggly it really is a great card no doubt.
