Solution: do not buy from streamers, whatnot, TH-camrs, buy it in the wild if possible let all these people that buy it and put over triple, let them hold it untill they have to sell for a loss!
Ur missing the whole point and it’s sad. He’s saying DONT BUY FOR RESELL. If resellers are happy and the product sells for $130 an ETB then prices will stay that way
@xeno9505 no he's saying don't buy it, period. And I'm with him. Prices are going down, especially with the reprint. Yes, the price will go up again, but not anytime soon. Wait for the reprint.
Summary - "Don't buy it because the price is too high, but I bought it at too high of a price so I will sell you mine at that inflated price to hold you over until the price drops because I'm just that nice."
We weren’t going to sell any of them but we have to if we wanted to do the $3,000 moonbreon giveaway per our terms, so we’re going to sell them at a loss to us and at a much cheaper price than what others are selling
@@BrandonMartyn I really feel like you don't need to explain yourself. You run a business, yes a lot of people watch your videos and see you opening 100's of packs but at your core you're a content creator and content sells. You don't set the standard on the resell market however you run a business and businesses need to adapt to market flows so everyone hating should calm down, Pokemon will run a re print and prices will stabilize but for now, I'm waiting for the "Opening 1000 packs of prismatic.." . There's definitely people on this platform abusing their following but it's definitely not you
NO CAP! THIS IS EXACTTTTLY WHAT I BEEN SAYING!!! I dont think everyone realizes its just gonna be the same thing the scalpers will get to the "max capacity" printing first and do the exact same
He has allocations that we simply don't he's basically saying hold off until things settle down and don't FOMO and overspend for the so called "market price" scammers
The 1/45 pull rate for SIR’s from the TCG Player Pull Rate data definitely accounts for demi and/or full god packs that were pulled in that 1200 packs lol. 3 or even 9 SIR in a single pack will drastically change the odds and theres no way it’s 1/45 with how much I’ve seen opened/opened myself.
There were fights … I repeat there were fights and I cannot find anything in the entire world. Nothing in Canada , nothing from us and nothing from France
I was browsing whatnot last night and stopped into a prismatic opening stream for a few and an ETB (I believe it was a PC one, at least i hope it was) sold for over $1k💀💀
I sold some prismatic on whatsnot and was shocked by the price people were paying. I sold two packs for like $40. I cleared a box and stopped. I agree with this video. This is crazy.
Just watched the whole video, and I didn't realized how lucky as a Canadian to be able to purchase these in MSRP prices - AND still able to buy more from a highly rated Canadian card shop. ALSO! I am lowkey disappointed you didn't rip that ONE Prismatic Evolutions pack you were holding and showing the whole video.
It is so good to see you in the tcg collector. I used to watch you a lot when we used to play pokemon go, but then we stopped playing and started collecting cards. And now here you are again. It seems like we were we can not be separated lol. Good to see familiar faces.
It’s not as chaotic because there are no cards to fight over. I couldn’t find any in my area and the LCS were charging “internet prices” one guy put it on the phone to me
Honesly, wasnt able to get it. Instead saw my walmart wall with just a Scarlet and Violet Paldea Evolved ETB I was happy with the hits that I got though.
Great video as always! I enjoy the chill just talking vids. I bought just enough prismatic for content, aside from that, I'm skipping it until everything chills out
Being newer to the hobby, I've noticed that others like me that are ALSO newer... tend to really dislike how PSA is so inconsistent (and ever since opening up to GameStop customers, it's honestly gotten WORSE, as have all of the mistakes they make along the way). I'm absolutely TAG all the way-- bought a mystery slab for funsies somewhere and it was a TAG one, and I just absolutely fell in love with how SLEEK it looks. And the reports! So detailed! The prices, the turnaround time... I couldn't ask for a better option for grading, genuinely. Unrelated, but uh. I think it's a little unfair to say 'don't by Prismatic Evolutions' without having an asterisk next to it, clarifying that it's not worth it to pay BEYOND MSRP for it. Lots of stores are incentivizing coming in-person to buy product by keeping it at MSRP, and refusing to sell online so customers have a chance of actually getting their hands on it, and honestly? I'm here for it. Unfortunately, living in the middle of nowhere means my only option is Walmart, which mine hasn't stocked any yet, and my closest GameStop (30 minutes away) literally closed ON RELEASE DAY LOL. But I can still appreciate the fact that others are able to get their product by physically heading into stores, without having to pay 3x MSRP for it. 💖
As someone who wants to just collect and play for fun, I'll just buy a booster pack (of whatever set I can find). Don't give a darn about ETBs, just seeing what I can get to build decks.
idk like a tiny fraction of people who buy Pokemon cards actually watch TH-camrs. I’m sure it has an impact on the market but it’s much smaller than most people think
I really hope PokeRev addresses this as well. I'm very happy that you have taken responsibility due to your influence. PokeRev still blames Scalpers yet he influences them and purchases from them, only supporting them further
listen man i absolutely LOVE this set because the last time i actually collected cards was SV base set. I am in love with eeveelutions and as a collector I will do whatever I can to properly enjoy the set. Scalpers ruining my birthday weekend bruh
the reprints arent going to help because there going to release them in small amounts to the stores and only a few select people will be lucky enough to be there when they do and it will all sell instantly. Anyone else like myself wont be going to stores every day or even once a week because its never there and a waste of time. So people like me end up having to buy online for more then its worth or we get nothing. So im expecting to get nothing and am really annoyed with Pokemon for not printing more for the release
I had so much better luck pulling with 151. I think the pull rates for this set is insane. They did horrible with it. I hope they fix that with the reprint. Good advice as always.
Cooking groups and Bots will basically out pace everyone simply and inflate the market happened with prismatic already happening with Journey and will be the new future this imo is the main problem until that's solved nothing will change
Anyone who buys over retail is stupid. Have patience Pokémon is going to print this set to the ground. All year long they have products coming out, absolutely 0 reasons to pay a single cent above retail price.
Man watch the video - I said if you want it now you can get it (especially if you need it, which my business did) but I’d recommend waiting if you don’t need it rn bc prices are insane and will come down
Best Buy is not aloud to sell cards. It’s an international trade agreement thing. Certain stores are only aloud to sell certain things. Best Buy being technology store, can only sell technologies. Which includes their accessories.
Dude said grading with Tag, Tag is trash lmao...dude u gonna sell it for 10 and people will buy it for 25 to 30 either way...even if u sell it for 1 pennie they will bid it up.
Not sure how market will behave with this one, it may increase its price until may-june reprint and go down, or keep increasing. A friend sold his for 1600. If I were you, I would get the card graded and keep it for collection purposes. Keep in mind that owning the 9 of them may increase its price drastically, even if you buy the other 8 as singles.
I had no idea TAG owns AI grading...yeah only makes sense to use them going forward. Bye PSA. I have always thought AI grading would be the future and have been holding back on submitting anything. I have so much to grade ahah
FYI, it is called a loss leader. Good on you for refusing to participate in the ruckus. Real TCG collectors and fans have no problem helping a well intentioned business make money-clearly you are one of those merchants.
You can tell the people who are just miserable here. People need to learn to listen and take the time to think to understand what he’s actually saying. IF ANY of you were in his position yall would probably be making a similar videos. Don’t hate that he’s in the position he is. step your game up and listen to what he’s saying. It might help you.
i just pre order at my local shop when a new set released i pre-order already the next set by them, i get 5 Etb's since i thinks thats reasonable. Also i dont sell it on myself.. i open everything. Scalpers needs to frick off.
Solution: do not buy from streamers, whatnot, TH-camrs, buy it in the wild if possible let all these people that buy it and put over triple, let them hold it untill they have to sell for a loss!
Dont buy it so he can buy it for himself 😂
LITTERALLY
Ur missing the whole point and it’s sad. He’s saying DONT BUY FOR RESELL. If resellers are happy and the product sells for $130 an ETB then prices will stay that way
@xeno9505 It's a joke bro relax. Don't need to get your panties in a bunch 😂
This is definitely wrong😂 He has connections...or he can just straight up buy from scalpers to make more videos.
@xeno9505 no he's saying don't buy it, period.

@BrandonMartyn and for the record I am busting your balls, I just couldn't help myself with the comment 😅❤
Scalpers will just buy all of the "maximum capacity"
NO CAP! THIS IS EXACTTTTLY WHAT I BEEN SAYING!!! I dont think everyone realizes its just gonna be the same thing the scalpers will get to the "max capacity" printing first and do the exact same
by that point the price will have dropped hopefully so there wouldn’t be much incentive
@ a brother can only hope man....
psa still remains undefeated in scamming
Prismatic Evolutions is overrated.
Ong, terastral is sm better
@ For real
Festival > prismatic
I’ve just bin focused on completing Shrouded Fable set before it fly in price
I’ll just keep my Gengar, Arcanine, and Suicune collection going and ignore releases unless I want a single.
bro idk who is paying $2k for masterball umbreon but they could have bought it 4 to 5 times over again at current sold listings on ebay.
The guy who bought a ton of Prismatic and terastel fest boxes telling all of us to not buy... Mmmmmn okay bruhh...
He has allocations that we simply don't he's basically saying hold off until things settle down and don't FOMO and overspend for the so called "market price" scammers
We didn’t buy any boxes, only got 400 loose packs. 300 we used for content and 100 we’re selling at a loss
@@BrandonMartynONLY 400 😂😂 ur a deeeemoon
@@BabaMangaDoethat’s a lil compared to what they get for regular sets
@ u are drinking the Jim Jones capitalism Kool aid . What flavor lmao ?
also Danny phantump already proved the TCG pull rates were stupid and wrong...they counted pulling a god pack as 7 diferent pulls thats stupid
okay i won't
Dude in my town bought a tech sticker pack and one of his 3 packs was a god pack. He sold the cards on eBay together for 5k USD, absolutely nuts.
The 1/45 pull rate for SIR’s from the TCG Player Pull Rate data definitely accounts for demi and/or full god packs that were pulled in that 1200 packs lol. 3 or even 9 SIR in a single pack will drastically change the odds and theres no way it’s 1/45 with how much I’ve seen opened/opened myself.
100%, I opened 114 packs until I got an SIR… Sandy Shocks EX. I did get a masterball Eevee and Flareon, and a Gold Walking Wake 😢
There were fights … I repeat there were fights and I cannot find anything in the entire world. Nothing in Canada , nothing from us and nothing from France
I wish there were fights in my country over Pokemon cards lol. It would be a sight to see.
I was browsing whatnot last night and stopped into a prismatic opening stream for a few and an ETB (I believe it was a PC one, at least i hope it was) sold for over $1k💀💀
Side note! Loved this style of video from you! The editing and vibe and everything! Should definitely do more of this man!
Sorry I got a binder collection. But it was just to celebrate a new set
I sold some prismatic on whatsnot and was shocked by the price people were paying. I sold two packs for like $40. I cleared a box and stopped. I agree with this video. This is crazy.
I have no idea why people ask people NOT to buy something that's literally making people do the opposite
Just watched the whole video, and I didn't realized how lucky as a Canadian to be able to purchase these in MSRP prices - AND still able to buy more from a highly rated Canadian card shop.
ALSO! I am lowkey disappointed you didn't rip that ONE Prismatic Evolutions pack you were holding and showing the whole video.
The hit rate has been messed up cause the God packs for 1 and 2 an employee MOST DEFINITELY stole a lot of the hits...
They did it with battle styles and shiny fates, and look at them 5 years later, below msrp
Dude in the Philippines and other 3rd world countries, nothing ever goes down below MSRP. People are greedy over here.
It is so good to see you in the tcg collector. I used to watch you a lot when we used to play pokemon go, but then we stopped playing and started collecting cards. And now here you are again. It seems like we were we can not be separated lol. Good to see familiar faces.

FRRRRR, The scalping is crazy!!!!!
Honesly, wasnt able to get it. Instead saw my walmart wall with just a Scarlet and Violet Paldea Evolved ETB I was happy with the hits that I got though.
I would have taken that too. All my walmart had was one ETB of shrouded fable 😢

Available now more like sold out now😂
I managed to get the Eevee binder and the flareon/Jolteon/Vaporeon promo for a good price, I am satisfied with this.
As someone who wants to just collect and play for fun, I'll just buy a booster pack (of whatever set I can find). Don't give a darn about ETBs, just seeing what I can get to build decks.
DO NOT BUY THIS SET! Someone at the pokemon facility must have stolen all the good cards. The hit rates are as bad if not worse than Evolving Skies
Felt this set was a hype train the minute we knew about it. Eeveelutions bring out the worst in people 😂
I'm apart of the first M7 MysticTalks lol Love you man ur amazing!!!! been follwing you since 2016 pokemon go vids!!!
Im pretty sure an employee in the printing department stole a lot of alt arts
Dont buy it guys! But I will def talk about my Eevee SIR pulls everyday and display it.
I'm terrified for when Blooming Waters releases here in NY
You're describing a "loss leader" like the costco rotisserie chicken!
Price is higher due to tubers hyping it up.

MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL 😈 Hope this hobby dips price wise like yu gi oh
We all want the prices to go down, stores too
Do you find it odd that there is no mention of reprint anywhere on Pokémon’s actual website at all?
PSA will always be more liquid to sell than other graded cards, no matter the cost of grading.
if i dont get pre orders online or by chance in person, i just dont get it.
Prismatic was easier for me than Journey Together.
Pokemon Center ETBs wont be reprinted or restocked.
listen man i absolutely LOVE this set because the last time i actually collected cards was SV base set. I am in love with eeveelutions and as a collector I will do whatever I can to properly enjoy the set. Scalpers ruining my birthday weekend bruh
Your sample size is more accurate. I love you, my Brother.
10 dollars a pack... And you're losing money... Bruh lol a pack of pokemon cards is 5 dollars
I'll just buy because he told us not to, you know reverse psychology 🤣
That master ball Umbreon is falling so hard I wish I would of took the offer I had for 800 people selling them 400 now
Feeding the scalpers. Way to go. You're helping the community. 😒
I don’t buy from scalpers lol
Cant wait to join collectorscap.. excited to see where TAG goes.
is prismatic evolutions a better set to buy or terrestrial festival?
the reprints arent going to help because there going to release them in small amounts to the stores and only a few select people will be lucky enough to be there when they do and it will all sell instantly.

How’s the pivot from TikTok going?
TAG patenting ai grading is horrible lol.
This sets pull rates are the same if not better pull rates then a lot of sets
All he cares is about himself so he can keep as much as prismatic
I don’t think u watched the video
Cooking groups and Bots will basically out pace everyone simply and inflate the market happened with prismatic already happening with Journey and will be the new future this imo is the main problem until that's solved nothing will change
A Pokene shoutout, let's go Brian
Agreed, but I still want the umbreon SIR to along with my SAR…will just wait for the many reprints and prices to drop
they buy msrp & sell x4 and say this is for our salary costing bla bla bla reseller 😂
You know I’m going to give your new channel a follow. Thank you, Sir.

😅The MSRP in Quebec is 150$ each ETB 😭🤑
Sigh i just want my shiny cardboard
I got the last sticker pack at my local gamestop after waiting for a few hours and got the sylveon haha
Prismatic is so mid. This set has proven that people in this hobby just buy hype and dont do it for cards they actually like.
This set is for the purest of degens
Other English sets printed to oblivion:
Vivid voltage?
Shining fates?
But it’s ok for you to buy it? You are the problem.
😂😂😂 get em !

OH I WILL BE THERE TOMORROW
Ill sell mystic rips my collection in 10 years for 95% market.

buy all Prismatic Evolutions
