Crown zenith got reprinted last year and etbs could be found easily for $35. Then the booster bundles got printed this year for big box stores, easily found for msrp, and on sale at some smaller lgs's. Crown zenith is a beautiful set with beautiful cards, printed like crazy with great pull rates, and still it's in high demand. It's proof that good pull rates and high printing doesn't matter for a sets success if the set itself is good. This is why I want prismatic to get printed the same way. It'll still be desirable in the future so the scalpers/investors can have their long term value and everyone else doesn't have to pay way too much money to enjoy the set.
I still have my og Pokémon yellow with mew uploaded onto it too 😂. I think this coincided with the first movie coming out in Australia. I remember soooo many kids at ‘highpoint’ getting mew uploaded onto their gameboy games
Your Pokémon blue save file can be backed up. There are devices out there to backup save games. Once the battery dies. That save game is lost. Cool you have a Mew!
Economically speaking, I think there are a lot more young adults with a higher disposable income because they are still living with their families...Post Covid, difficult dating scene, house prices, some acting as caretakers for a parent.
I always try to remind myself of two things. One, I cannot collect everything, not even everything I want. And 2, even if I miss something I want, there will always be something worth collecting/investing within the hobby. Prices rising and some things becoming less available is scary, but there will always be something out there worth spending your money on. For the vast majority of us the limit on our collecting is our funds, not the market, so it's important that we act according to what we can truly afford and not what we're afraid of missing out on.
I've been saving money to buy lots off prismatic and the news of all of the other sets had me quite nervous on how I was gonna keep up with it all, for me it was good to just remember: These are cards and a hobby, and I do NOT need to buy anything at all, it is not a necessity, and remembering that instantly made me feel a bit better on handling it. I appreciate you addressing this sentiment at the end, with all the hype around TCG right now!
It’s amazing how strong the market is, and prismatic evolutions will really have the chance to be the pinnacle of scarlet and violet but we’ll have to see if it’s just more fuel for the rest of the year. Time will tell, congrats on 30k!! Proud of you man
Hell, yeah that’s awesome that you still have your Game Boy color and it still works . They don’t make things like they used to. I wonder if the team rocket set is potentially causing a high increase in the mewtwo card. They did announce that mewtwo will be the only dark Card in the set(I think).I honestly think it should be a $80-$100 card easy. Either way I love crown zenith lol.
It's good to see you also pick up inspirations from the discord. That Mewtube is a banger of a card. I'm still looking for a psa10 copy but it's probally gonna cost me alot.
The reason why Pokemon is so hot during tough economic times right now is because there is a lot of money to be maid in the Pokemon market. This has brought a lot of flippers to the Pokemon market to make a quick buck. A lot of people have moved to flipping items online to make money because the economy isn't doing well and jobs are tough to find or don't pay well.
Its a dangerous thing though. It's SO DAMN easy to buy the Costco Mini Tins or Sam's CZ or Heavy Hitters boxes, use a box cutter to carefully and surgically cut along one side, open the packs, reseal the packs with an hair straightener, then a glue gun for the box, and return to Sam's for a full refund, thus leaving the next person to buy that product with guaranteed duds, then the good pulls you purposely took out the packs, send the best ones to PSA, get 10's and make tons of mad cash. Thats what I heard....from a friend
it's not hard at all to obtain new sets. i can buy surging sparks etbs 3pk blister packs and metal surging sparks lunch boxes right now at walmart online canada. lmao yall are stupid
i was buying 151 stuff from walmart online canada all spring and summer 2024 for retail price too i refuse to buy from any 3rd party seller i also have costco membership so i buy from costco online canada too. in the future i'll be buying evelutions and glory of team rocket with zero problems and for retail price. because im not stupid and can wait 1 month after release for stores to stock them.
6:53 I can't possibly be the only one who thinks this mewtwo card is actually so bland and boring? I absolutely don't understand the appeal, I like the concept but I think it just falls so flat and it just looking boring.
I am sorry for the people that are experiencing hard times, but if you are invested in BTC, it is great! It certainly gives me the disposal income to buy Pokemon cards. I don't know if there is a correlation for the high prices.
Not sure what you mean by tough times, but for investors it’s not a tough time. All markets doing great crypto, s and p 500 , and Pokémon. So the ones who usually invest in stuff, have more money than ever and are probably transferring some from crypto and stock market to Pokémon

So dope to see you got the Mew!! I cut my teeth on Pokemon Yellow, way too many hours as a kid.

Wow you finding the gameboy with Pokemon blue and mew is golden!!! Lucky you congrats on the find!!
8:12 “no one expected this.”
But you expected this a few months ago!
Apart from economic reason. I really do believe 151 did bring back a lot of people to collecting pokemon cards again, like myself

The old Gameboy games are awesome.

Crown zenith etb to 100+ by spring !! Such a great set
thanks for making a video about this
Was late to watch the last video so now I get to watch two videos back to back, if you were in your singlet would have been like Christmas came early.
Hahaha Collectr said yo I'm done with all these TH-camrs being sponsored by the Shiny app and I'm going to sponsor Phil and pay him extra 😂😂
It's the millions of people that got into pokémon cards again because of the new mobile game. That game came out right before this started
Best pokemon channel imo. Thanks for the content.
As a Mewtwo card collector this is great stuff!
Good olde 90's batteries💪💯
Gold pikachu underrated, such a beautiful card. And hard to pull too
It's good to see you also pick up inspirations from the discord.
That Mewtube is a banger of a card. I'm still looking for a psa10 copy but it's probally gonna cost me alot.
Gold Pikachu to the moon!!!
That was a moment we all shared with you
I just recently got the kamehameha mewtwo🔥
Let's freaking go buddy! luckily I have some of them:)
you see how alolan exeggutor randomly doubled in price? crazy
Cool video, but I suggest you retain the card photo for the whole duration as you are discussing them
Its my birthday tomorrow, I treated myself to surging sparks ETB i hope I get the latias ex and the common rotom
Came for the singlet 😢
I just bought a save file dock to replace the battery without losing save file!
Surging sparks is gonna be reprinted too much. I'd be surprised if it's a $200 card
Surging sparks scalpers got smoked by terestal festival dropping so soon after 😂😂😂 eff em

There no tough economic times in Scandinavia, at all. It haven’t been in almost 2 decades. Still pokemon cards are in high demand
