As I recall, LO didn’t have the hype out of the gate that SS has. I have a fair amount of LO but I’m all in on SS (9 different cases). Other than the top two chase cards in LO, I believe the art in all of SV is broadly more appealing. Thanks for continuing to bring us great investor content, Michael!
Lost Origin > Surging Sparks all day long. Having pulled a 10 Tina, Pika Vmax and Aerodactyl, nothing in SS compares and I have 2 cases of SS. Surging will do well long term but no cards in SS compare to the Tina or Aero from LO.
Yeah i don't like it either...don't understand the hype about it. Pikachu is nowhere near the tina in looks lol imo. Latias or latios and milotic look wayyyy better
Surging sparks also has latios, milotic and 2 other pikachus. I think its the closest SV set to compete with evolving skies that pokemon has released yet.
I think it’s more in line with chilling reign/ fusion strike/ lost origin. Not a once in an era set, but a solid grade A set . But it’s the only scarlet violet set so far in that range so I think. It’s the closest a set has gotten to skies but still nowhere near it
@Dire_Hit its insane right? The pikachu in a 10 is listed 2x higher than the umbreon right out of the gates. The only eeveelution actually worth anything is the umbreon. Then we have rayquaza. The rest are mid.
@@MattTheLyon easily one of the best and most genuine"poke-tubers" around. Nothing flashy just honest opinions and analysis from his own experience - not just popping up during the hype and spouting a load of nonsense.
I opened quite a bit of SS, 4 PC ETBs and 2 Booster Boxes, and I thought it was pretty underwhelming tbh. The Milotic is the only card I really like from it visually, I would rather buy Lost Origin BBs at their current price than more SS. Just my opinion probably gonna get flamed for it but great vid as always Oz.
Surging Sparks is for SURE better than Twilight Masquerade. I think both will get plenty of reprints but ultimately Surging Sparks just has really nice depth.
I don’t know if the Pikachu will match the Caratina in the long term. Right now it looks like the price exploded due to FOMO and PSA 10 prices. I do think this set will be better than lost origin but not on par with evolving skies. This is such a phenomenal set and it has so many top chases. I’m loving it and can’t wait to watch it continue to rise.
Hi, do you believe that the prismatic evolutions 6 booster bundle is worth the investment? I don't know if it is better to invest in those boosters bundles or in etbs in that case.
Surging sparks is kinda interesting. Set comes out and in less than 24hrs it's impossible to buy anymore of the set until the ETB's come out which i thin is the 29th of this month. but then after that small wave comes they are gone until next year. like trying to complete a set sounds virtually impossible.
The top 3 cards of LO compared to SS are better but you can make the argument that SS is obviously a little deeper. The Giritina, Aerodactyl, and the Ultra Rare Pikachu VMAX is just so good for a top 3.
As a collector I have a couple more ETBs coming from Pokemon Center then I'll be done with SS. The drop rates are terrible and Prismatic Evolutions is right around the corner that I'll be doubling down on.
Hey mate I’m in Australia and looking for the best in store shops and then websites to buy booster box’s I can’t find anywhere that actually stock them. Thanks for the help :)
Great video as always, but in your previous video you’ve mentioned even those terrible booster that have no chase cards are going up in value 😂 so the real prediction = up and up
Hey pokeoz I watch all your videos but don’t always comment. I’ve never pulled the number 1 chase for a set until surging sparks. Would you keep the pikachu if you had it and don’t super need the money or would you unload at 400+ right now as it’s fresh?
Thanks so much for the reply. I know that what you said is true. I have been very studious for years in this hobby partly in thanks to your videos. I know that there are outliers too such as some really stunning chases like greninja or umbreon. (I understand it was manipulated but price remains) My question was more akin to this. Would you expect this specific card to be a rolling stone gathering moss for a bit before the next waves of this set increase supply, or would you consider right now today the peak of hype for this specific pikachu. Anyway I totally understand your original answer and if that’s what you answered I’m going to assume you don’t think this is going to be like, a top 5 in all scarvi era type of card that people can’t get enough of for a while. I found out literally since the original comment I have to move and most likely selling anyway. Thankyou.
Markets may be different but the US either has a crazy amount of demand or there are distributors hoarding there own stock or withholding it to artificially increase the price of the box. In the UK boxes are readily available to buy for £110-£120 from release. If a reprint was to happen we could see prices drop even lower. Seems like of your a genuine TCG player or collector in the US it's a difficult and expensive market to navigate through, whereas if your an investor it's the easiest money making play out there. Either way there are always winners and loosers.
I believe it's a little overhyped ATM, does anyone remember what happened to celebrations UPCs? They were selling at $700 before release, then dropped to roughly $400-$500 a box after about 6 months, and hasnt moved much since then, just over 3 years ago. It had the metal zard which was a fortune in psa10 before they stopped grading it for a while. And many iconic cards in the celebrations set. I believe surging sparks will see a slight rise before the reprint, at about $250 Aus a box. Then it will hit $230 a box and it will see a lull for around 6 months afterwards. While I still think SS is a really good set, my prediction is $400 AUD a box by around June/July 2026. Which is still really good performance. It took evolving skies just over a year to double in price and evolving is clearly a better set, so I'll give SS a year and a half to double in price.
Is there even a PSA 10 sale for the Pika yet the first and only I've seen so far on ebay is sitting at 4.5k aud on auction which is like 3k higher than the giratina yes I feel thats overhyped and first listing but if thats the case it wiill likely settle around those prices for awhile and drive more hype
All I've learnt is any future pc etbs getting max brought ill open normal etbs keep at least one saved of each I've missed out on eveloutions they should be restocked but I'll prob miss as usual
From the uk here , I think it’s the nearest big set to evolving skies ?, What do you think ?, I’m going to buy around 20 boosters boxes and will sit on them 👍
Just be careful everyone. This is a malicious market. Don't try to get in and flip. Understand you need to hold onto these boxes for 2-5 years at least. Don't beat yourself up for buying a box for MSRP or below if you're coming in with the understanding that you are buying a long term appreciating asset, not a NFT.
No way loo lost origin is wayyyy better lol the pikachu is tanking I found one for 200 dollars lol 😆 tina will be 1000 raw in a year lost origin is wayyy better it will be 300 a box
@Jtpokeymon yes the giratina destroys the pikachu no doubt, every art from Shinji Kanda is amazing but as a set Surging Sparks has more chase cards with better art and will hold a higher overall value throughout the set. Its a deeper set. More to chase more reason to open
I'm an Investor but also a collector, and this is pretty disappointing to me. Sets blowing up in price even before release, selling out in hours, minutes... (there was a Surging Sparks PC ETB restock on Friday in the UK and it had sold out by midday) is just not fun for the hobby imo. Same with Prismatic evo, its kinda squashed my excitement for collecting atm honestly. It's honestly made me consider making the switch to Japanese, the boxes are much cheaper, higher quality, and much more readily available.
As a investor product that sells out fast is a million times better than a cheap product that rarely sells. I know the high prices are horrid out the gate but demand drives it.
Hobby? 😂😂😂😂😂How old are you and you believe pkmn is still a hobby? Lemme guess,your fav pkmn utubers with the bald heads and the beards who open 3837722 boosters per day just to find the most expensive card n sell it... Are they enjoying this HOBBY e 😂🤣 Grow up mate. We are not 0 years old anymore.
Man idk why yall hate so much on prices and trying to get product. If you are new to collecting you may have missed the initial wave for surging sparks but there are more awesome sets coming soon whom will have preorders running for WEEKS. There will be so many card shops taking pre orders that there’s simply no way you won’t get a good price for some booster boxes and etbs
Just wait 20 years, that’s where all the value is going to be :) almost not worth it to speculate short term prices.. ofcourse it will be more expensive than realease price and it will most likely near a evolving skies boosterbox
To give some perspective on how crazy this set has been. 2 days after official release date, I went to 3 different targets, 1 Walmart, 2 gamestops, and 1 LGS and I saw a total of 50 sleeved booster packs and a few etbs
The singles will start dropping in price, there is way too much hype at the moment and people are buying into the FOMO. So the comparison in prices for singles to LO is a bit unfair. But I do agree that it is a better set than LO, so your price predictions may very well be right for sealed boxes. Great video btw 😊
If anyone is paying upfront for preorders for a March 2025 reprint of a set that came out yesterday, you need to reevaluate everything you are doing in life.
FIRST mfer !!!!!! GOOD VID as always my pc etb case came in for surging sparks and its clean as fuck deff seeing it be a 1000 dollar case in 3 years or atleast 500 either way im up !!!
This is speculation. The best hits highly disagreed l. I believe it doesn’t matter if it’s main set or holiday. This format has existed for years now. Prices Not sustainable
It's not the nicest looking set in S&V. It's not even in the top 5. And it's not as good as Lost Origin. It's fine. but more on par with Obsidian Flames.
Lost origin is a A+ set almost a S tier and undervalued massively . Surging sparks printing has not even 1/3 power of LO . The top 3 cards is LoSt origin 120% to surging sparks hype absolutely does not touch lost origin . This is absurd that the quality of surging sparks can even touch LO . The hype is real and it’s way over valued and will not hold . The set is about as good as astral radiance at best or stellar crown . Unreal how much this is being hyped . If you look at the actual card quality and arts it’s nowhere near LO . Not even in the same sentence . It’s a B at best ! Twilight masquerade beats it imo . This is ridiculous how everyone is buying the bait hence the name surging sparks . Lost origin is a clear 8-10 surging at best is a 5-6
Prismatic is going to be printed into the ground just like CZ and people are already losing their minds. I'm sorry but so far i don't see it being anywhere near evolving skies, and its not even a regular set. Its a special set. The art is nowhere near evolving skies either imo. People should be stocking up on CZ right now not worrying about primatic , also 151 because there isn't going to be a whole lot more of 151 printing. Those 151 boxes Coming out will be gone in minutes and not a whole lot of product will release after that. Take a chill pill on the prismatic is what I'm saying I guess. Surging sparks could be The next evolving skies i think, and its closer than prismatic to being that product. Its super hyped, great art, large amount of high dollar pulls, and it is a normal BB set unlike prismatic. If you see 151 product, any product at retail it is a must buy right now. Don't even think about it twice because it will eaten up in minutes if you do. There has never been a better time to stock up on CZ. Buy as much as you can before its out of print. Don't spend money you don't have of course. Don't go into debt over this. Most products take a lot of time to mature meaning you will be out of that money for a long period of time, especially if there is some sort of crash that last a few years.
Overrated set, what good hits, I hate the gem tera cards. Skarmory and Milotic and Latios/Latios only interesting nice looking cards. Fusion Strike can blow this set out of the water.
The set also has horrible pull rates. You got several TH-camrs pulling almost 1k packs and pulling little to no SIRs or IRs (if they do, they are pulling crap). I think people are not going to be spending 160 a box for crap pulls. I know this is essentially gambling and you shouldn't expect getting your money back, but when the price of a BB was 100 bucks, it isn't too bad. But when the boxes are going for 160 and climbing? Not worth it. The only bad thing about Prismatic evolutions is no BBs. Just etbs and booster bundles. So opening that in mass is going to be a pain. Not going to buy in Surging Sparks. Singles will crash and people hoarding all those Surging Sparks sealed to sell later are going to be holding the bag.
SS is BS . Low pull rates and already everyone is thinking about the new eevee set😂😂 This set was a trap by utubers n Nintendo. ALL of you were before months: wow😮😮 SS will be the BEST S/V set,invest on it. And NOW...😂😂 See what you re saying.
No man, stop fooling some gullible kids,who ll save all their money to ... InVeST on something that is determined by a utuber who opens cards for 250 K😊 If you were that smart,you d knew before ten years that pkmn d increase their prices like 100 times more,am i right 😊 So what gives you the authority now?
everyone, believe in Michael, he lives in the future so he can let us know how prices will move!

Totally agree 👍💯
Got to disagree
Totally agree the tina is so undervalued right now it's gonna be 1000 raw
@ I’ve always said it’s a better card than Moonbreon, I think it’s the best card from SWSH. Iconic
This set will be big time with the long run . I bought plenty at $135 a box I’m happy with that
Right now I won’t that be happy brother
Pikachu SIR is just so mid compared to other SIRs or Alt Arts imo. Saving everything i got for Prismatic Evolutions
I was underwhelmed at first , but then i started liking it more and more ...there is something ethereal about it.
@@hansbendixen5430 agreed, looks so much nicer in hand as well!
@@Steelscizor 100% agree, the Pikachu isn’t even all that. Much nicer cards in the set.
Yeah i don't like it either...don't understand the hype about it. Pikachu is nowhere near the tina in looks lol imo. Latias or latios and milotic look wayyyy better
It's definitely growing on me!
I agree but also think the Pika will hold a nice value and stay strong. Its a very playable card it sems. so hard to tell the set is so new.
It's a great card for sure! 👍
Surging sparks also has latios, milotic and 2 other pikachus. I think its the closest SV set to compete with evolving skies that pokemon has released yet.
This is a completely insane statement.
And then Prismatic Evolutions will come out (Aka Evo skies 2.0) 😂
I think it’s more in line with chilling reign/ fusion strike/ lost origin. Not a once in an era set, but a solid grade A set . But it’s the only scarlet violet set so far in that range so I think. It’s the closest a set has gotten to skies but still nowhere near it
@Theu131 surging sparks is MAJOR Celestial storm vibes. Where it competes as a mid upper tier set and has both a banger pokemon and trainer card
@Dire_Hit its insane right? The pikachu in a 10 is listed 2x higher than the umbreon right out of the gates. The only eeveelution actually worth anything is the umbreon. Then we have rayquaza. The rest are mid.

I disagree with you but no flame here my man, it’s a fair opinion
I love LO as much as the next person and the Giratina is one of the greatest cards of the last 5 years.
After a month since its release do u have any new predictions?
Definitely, I'll do another video on it soon 👌
I’m buying more surging sparks than any other set. It’s gonna go to the moon 😂🎉
What were the starting prices of the chase cards in lost origin?
Any opinion on hidden fates? Undervalued?
I was just at Collect-a-Con in The Netherlands, all vendors had their Surging Sparks boxes at 180€ or about 190$.
Surging Sparks is for SURE better than Twilight Masquerade. I think both will get plenty of reprints but ultimately Surging Sparks just has really nice depth.
Agree with you on that, the depth of the set is crazy!
hey do you get your bb cases from amazon or aliexpress?
So glad I got my case for $599.99 🙏
Got my PC etb case. And 3 booster boxes. Going to open up 1 booster box and keep the rest sealed for the 10 year hold. Pokémon to the moon.
Great plan mate, best of both worlds 👌
I don’t know if the Pikachu will match the Caratina in the long term. Right now it looks like the price exploded due to FOMO and PSA 10 prices.

Thankful for this video. Was about to buy 2 booster boxes but decided to hold.

Definitely not the right call since buying 8 makes it so other people can’t get it
@@joeyjoeybacks It was available for ages. Everyone had a fair chance.
I can’t believe Lost origin would even be in the same sentence as surging sparks . LO absolutely kills it . Just look at the art work not the hype
Hi, do you believe that the prismatic evolutions 6 booster bundle is worth the investment? I don't know if it is better to invest in those boosters bundles or in etbs in that case.
You should just give a future date and a price for each set with no explanation. That would be a fun prediction video (albeit very short).
That’s a good idea actually! Haha.
Great analysis Oz! Keep up the great work.
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Seen a lot of videos with a lot of high tier hits at least 15 hits per booster box.
March is when they have enough time to do a final reprint like LO / and ST . Copped a case of surging @ $199 a box . Think that's the new norm
Jeez ill sell you some brilliant stars booster boxes for 190 lol
lol 😂 was watching your video and then paused to down load the Shiny app and back two hours later lol
That’s dedication! Haha
Are booster bundles at $30 USD a piece a good investment for surging sparks?

Predition?
Markets may be different but the US either has a crazy amount of demand or there are distributors hoarding there own stock or withholding it to artificially increase the price of the box.
In the UK boxes are readily available to buy for £110-£120 from release. If a reprint was to happen we could see prices drop even lower.
Seems like of your a genuine TCG player or collector in the US it's a difficult and expensive market to navigate through, whereas if your an investor it's the easiest money making play out there.

I remember how bullish u were on jp 151at absurd prices.
My prediction is that Australia will beat Pakistan next time they play (i know you arent interested in rugby) 😂
I reckon they will too 😅
It's not the nicest looking set in S&V. It's not even in the top 5. And it's not as good as Lost Origin. It's fine. but more on par with Obsidian Flames.
Restock/Reprint/Rejoice
👌
Lost origin is a A+ set almost a S tier and undervalued massively . Surging sparks printing has not even 1/3 power of LO . The top 3 cards is LoSt origin 120% to surging sparks hype absolutely does not touch lost origin . This is absurd that the quality of surging sparks can even touch LO . The hype is real and it’s way over valued and will not hold . The set is about as good as astral radiance at best or stellar crown .
Unreal how much this is being hyped . If you look at the actual card quality and arts it’s nowhere near LO . Not even in the same sentence . It’s a B at best ! Twilight masquerade beats it imo . This is ridiculous how everyone is buying the bait hence the name surging sparks .
Lost origin is a clear 8-10 surging at best is a 5-6
Prismatic is going to be printed into the ground just like CZ and people are already losing their minds. I'm sorry but so far i don't see it being anywhere near evolving skies, and its not even a regular set. Its a special set. The art is nowhere near evolving skies either imo. People should be stocking up on CZ right now not worrying about primatic , also 151 because there isn't going to be a whole lot more of 151 printing. Those 151 boxes Coming out will be gone in minutes and not a whole lot of product will release after that. Take a chill pill on the prismatic is what I'm saying I guess. Surging sparks could be The next evolving skies i think, and its closer than prismatic to being that product. Its super hyped, great art, large amount of high dollar pulls, and it is a normal BB set unlike prismatic. If you see 151 product, any product at retail it is a must buy right now. Don't even think about it twice because it will eaten up in minutes if you do. There has never been a better time to stock up on CZ. Buy as much as you can before its out of print. Don't spend money you don't have of course. Don't go into debt over this. Most products take a lot of time to mature meaning you will be out of that money for a long period of time, especially if there is some sort of crash that last a few years.
Pc etb to the moon
Completely wrong prediction 😢
I said should get to $200 in a couple months from release. Already past that! 👌
@pokeoz91 I’m so sorry I thought you were talking about the etb! My sincere apologies
Overrated set, what good hits, I hate the gem tera cards. Skarmory and Milotic and Latios/Latios only interesting nice looking cards. Fusion Strike can blow this set out of the water.
Nope.. definitely an incorrect statement.
Set is overhyped
The set also has horrible pull rates. You got several TH-camrs pulling almost 1k packs and pulling little to no SIRs or IRs (if they do, they are pulling crap). I think people are not going to be spending 160 a box for crap pulls. I know this is essentially gambling and you shouldn't expect getting your money back, but when the price of a BB was 100 bucks, it isn't too bad. But when the boxes are going for 160 and climbing? Not worth it.
The only bad thing about Prismatic evolutions is no BBs. Just etbs and booster bundles. So opening that in mass is going to be a pain. Not going to buy in Surging Sparks. Singles will crash and people hoarding all those Surging Sparks sealed to sell later are going to be holding the bag.
SS is BS . Low pull rates and already everyone is thinking about the new eevee set😂😂
This set was a trap by utubers n Nintendo.
ALL of you were before months: wow😮😮 SS will be the BEST S/V set,invest on it.
And NOW...😂😂 See what you re saying.
No man, stop fooling some gullible kids,who ll save all their money to ... InVeST on something that is determined by a utuber who opens cards for 250 K😊
If you were that smart,you d knew before ten years that pkmn d increase their prices like 100 times more,am i right 😊
So what gives you the authority now?
Glad I stopped when I wuz a child ppl r literally addicts for pokemon
But yet this video found you
Dork
Surging Sharts 💩
Did you miss out?
But here you are listening to surging sparks vids 😂
Did we miss out on Chillin Pain, Evolving Cries and Fusion Strike OUT?
You must be new brother. We real Og Pokemon fans rename sets with terrible pull rates.
@@mrpanda7083 Nah, bought them when they were cheap.
