Another that i think is criminally underrated is Zeraora v alt art. It’s such a beautiful card that is just overshadowed by the other more popular Pokemon. Great vid as always Jake!
It's crazy how fast the attention shifted from FA trainers to alt art cards. I love 'em both, still. The Glaceon alt is one of my faves thus far. The artwork is stunning. The colors, bright and lively.
I got into pokemon during the last wave of Evolving Skies and the first booster box I opened, I got the Alt Art Umbreon Vmax! So the first pokemon opening I ever did bestowed me an amazing card! Keeping it forever!
I had a similar experience pulling the umbreon but in eevee heroes.. that was the sole reason I decided to collect the master set and I'm so pleased with it in my binder.
I was blessed to be able to pull the ES AA Umbreon VMAX out of a sleeved booster randomly--Umbreon is one of my favorite pokemon and the card is an absolute art piece; gorgeous.
Alternate cards are what I collect in Japanese, have a pretty extensive collection now of PSA 10 copies. Some I have purchased and others are on their way back from PSA, all graded 10!
I actually have a bad taste for evolving skies. It was just one of those sets where I wasn’t havnt any luck. Between 2 booster boxes and a Pokémon CENTER ETB, I didn’t get any of my personal chase cards, zero alts, zero of any raquaza. It was a tough set for me
I feel ya. It is a brutally unforgiving set. Those chase cards, tho... I'm definitely taking another crack at it soon. If there's word of a reprint incoming, I'll hold off but if not, definitely gonna have at it within a month.
It depends, it’s just luck. I happened to pull the rayquaza Vmax alt art, noivern v alt art, umbreon Vmax alt art, ray full art. Of like 5 booster boxes. One booster box barely had any hits about 2 vmaxs
13:00 Yes! Do it for loving the Pokemon first and then enjoy the value they are worth. Waiting on the Umbreon to be affordable enough to warrant buying it for my personal collection. I bought the Lati tag team card at Number 2 for $20 when I first saw it - beautiful card and I knew it would be sought after based on the awesome heart design.
I own 5 of these cards on this list and all of them are truly beautiful pieces of art. 2-3 of them I pulled too so I consider myself lucky to avoid having to buy both booster boxes and singles all the time. For Evolving Skies I had a nice streak of alt cards for 3 boxes in a row. It really is gambling but it's so fun.
Ironically, those two are the ones I have yet to pull. I have pulled the Alternate art Charizard V, Rayquaza VMAX, and Leafeon VMAX, from this list, but have been trying particularly hard to try to pull the Blaziken.
Awesome vid, thanks Jake! Could you do a top 10 alt art V cards? Would be interesting to see if evolving skies takes 5 spots that top 10 too! (I realise this vid wasn’t meant to be mostly Vmax cards and that’s just the way it worked out!)
I like that it shows the backside of the charizard because that's what you'd see as the trainer in a real battle so I see why the artist went with that
Ive got all of the eeveelutions except leafeon and glaceon vmax... hoping for a reprint to see them drop a bit in price on the singles market. My Espeon is the Japanese version and its absolutely beautiful. Im not sure if I'll cave and buy the english version of that card.
Yesss I’m obsessed with all the alternate cards!! I collect master sets so I definitely need them all haha some I need multiple if I collect cards of Pokémon that are also included in an alt art (like that Espeon, has multiple eevee’s and a kangaskhan which I collect their cards so I would like to have a card for each collection 🤩)
Hey jake, you mention wanting to hang your cards on your wall a lot. Recently I've been trying to figure out a way to do that. Could you make a video about what you do to keep your cards out while keeping them safe?
I had the exact same thought. Having bought into the Graded card market I would love to display a select few in the man cave but there is very limited options for decent frames on eBay. You're looking at around £150 for a black wooden frame that holds 16 cards. There must be a cheaper way?
We just found out that my 7 year old son has Rayquza VMAX card he got in a card deck for Christmas last year 🤩 We framed it at once. He didn't rally understand why, but he will someday.
Release day of Evolving Skies, I had preordered myself a booster box for the first time, got home all hyped to open it, no alts, which was a little disappointing. Then my wife came home with 2 single packs from Walmart for herself, and pulled the Umbreon VMAX alt. Couldn't believe it.
I’m telling you people maddd sleep on Single Packs (Cardboard Sleeve being best opposed to loose Booster Box packs). I have gotten way more amazing pulls like mai Alt Art Noivern V from Evo Skies after like 5 other Evo Skies Cardboard Sleeve Openings prior. I usually get Vs/Trainer Cards or higher from Cardboard Sleeved Singles (unless it’s Fusion Strike but after 12 of those finally got mai Mew VMax!).
I’m one of the unfortunate few trying to complete the alt set from evolving skies. The only eeveelutions I still haven’t pulled naturally are the Umbreons☹️
I have 7 of the 10 and they are completely amazing! I actually had pulled two Ray Vmax Alt Arts and sold one to acquire the Umbreon Vmax Alt Art but that was before the price jumps. Thanks Jake as always for the content! 😁
Alternate arts are my favorite to collect. I own 2 of the top 3, umbreon vmax and rayquaza vmax. I have the glaceon vmax as well. I also own several others that are not quite as expensive.
I just recently got into collecting Pokémon cards again. I did as a kid back when it was all brand new but grew away from it. Blazakan alt art was my first alt art since getting back into it. I traded it for an unopened shining fates ETB which I felt ok with cuz I was wanting to get my collection jump started. Now I have a good amount of Alt Arts
I love the sleeping in the cloud dragonite V alt art so much from evolving skies.. still one of my chase cards ice rider calyrex vmax alt art is also very underrated that card looks beautiful with its wintery theme
I'm curious to see how the Sun & Moon era alt arts will do long term versus the Sword & Shield era alt arts...while the VMax alt arts are very hard to pull, these recent sets were printed a lot...whereas the Sun & Moon alt arts weren't quite as hard to pull, but the sets weren't printed as much (especially Team Up).
Ive been getting to buying singles but never know if im over paying for cards. What website do you use to determine how much a card is worth? Thank you.
I only have 3 but I was lucky enough to pull my favorite 2 out of my first booster box. It's the sylveon vmax and the espeon v. I also have the sandaconda and the sealed eeveelution vmax premium collection ones.
I want so many of those evolving skies alt arts, especially the umbreon vmax. Too expensive :( anyone know if they are doing an evolving skies reprint??
I mean I agree with wanting to collect these, but the prices on these shooting up doesn’t really seem to be tied to the booster box price. I mean a booster box of evolving skies is only $130. Two years from now I’m very interested to see the cards on this list.
Zeraora v is being slept on so hard when chilling reign is unobtainable down the road that card is going to be very desired when people look back on it one of the best artworks ever
While the evolving skies eeveelution cards are absolutely stunning and I’m so close to completing my set, I love the adp alt from cosmic eclipse, something just so epic about the stone statue
@TwicebakedJake My buddy and I just pulled that alt art Char from Brilliant stars. Should we get this stabbed? So new to the hobby don't know what I should do lol
a lot of detail missed about Alt Art Rayquaza. Rayquaza is played a lot in the TCG and the price of the alt arts are expensive because of that factor as well as players are trying to bling out their decks with the main pokemon in the deck.
Absolutely LOVED this video.. as well as the 2nd place love heart card.. i just want that catd to display.. as im collecting the whole evolving skies set, it definately hss cost me all my funds, i havent pulled snything from my boosters nor single packets.. as im not lycky in pulls i have to psy that price.. thank you
If they made the charizard v alt art card have shiny charizard and shiny Venusaur it would break all records. Just imagine how beautiful that card would be
It breaks my heart and soul that I don't any own of these cards, and boy did I try too. For Christmas I was given two ES Booster Boxes and still didn't pull anything.
Another that i think is criminally underrated is Zeraora v alt art. It’s such a beautiful card that is just overshadowed by the other more popular Pokemon. Great vid as always Jake!
Yesssss zeraora's alt art is soooo goooddd!!!!

Similar story but with Brilliant Stars and I pulled the Alt Art Arceus + Gold Arceus in the same booster 😅 welcome back my friend ❤️
I had a similar experience pulling the umbreon but in eevee heroes.. that was the sole reason I decided to collect the master set and I'm so pleased with it in my binder.
Same with my wife haha

i pulled the umbreon v alt art (not vmax the v) from the mini portofolio booster pack
My lil bro got it and he’s not selling or grading it😭
I love alt art charizard!!! I will keep this forever !!! This is really different !
Actually it's a remake of the Japanese version of the same card that came out years ago. They both look amazing side by side in a binder 😍
@@boomfuq8277 Bruh did you even read his comment? He said it's a remake...
Love the Latias and Latios Alt Art. Congrats on having a PSA 10 copy and the memory of how you got it.

Had the same thing happen to me but Brilliant Stars. Two booster boxes and one PC ETB with nothing to show.
@@vangarang3667 You must've gotten some good stuff, right? That's 82 packs. You must've pulled some alts and FAs.

Thinking the same thing lol
It is such a cool card, wish I had it.

Great info as always!👊🔥
I have the Battle Styles Tyranitar at cgc 9.5 it was a great pull and one of my favs
My gf has managed to pull two! Both out of individual packs and that was after we ripped a case!
I’ve pulled both the Umbreon and Blaziken alt arts. I don’t hit big often but when I do, it’s rewarding to say the least.
Ironically, those two are the ones I have yet to pull. I have pulled the Alternate art Charizard V, Rayquaza VMAX, and Leafeon VMAX, from this list, but have been trying particularly hard to try to pull the Blaziken.
That tag team is just jakes dream piece lol
It’s ok as far as alt art goes..

Alt art cards are just so nice, and even moreso when you pull them!
Danny Phantump legit JUST uploaded a market watch video on Alt Arts yesterday. Do all of you guys get together and decide to upload the same video?
I like that it shows the backside of the charizard because that's what you'd see as the trainer in a real battle so I see why the artist went with that

Pulled the Umbreon vmax & Gengar vmax alt art.. wondering if I should hope onto them
I'm only in this video 30 seconds but can we get a least valuable alt card list next?? Keep up the good work bro always appreciate your videos

I do and I don’t hope for that.
Do you count just the vmax alt eeveelutions as a set? I didn't buy the V alts i just went with the vmaxes
I’m one of the unfortunate few trying to complete the alt set from evolving skies. The only eeveelutions I still haven’t pulled naturally are the Umbreons☹️
Evolving skies has treated me very well with the alternativa arts. I pulled the 2 highest cards
I have 7 of the 10 and they are completely amazing! I actually had pulled two Ray Vmax Alt Arts and sold one to acquire the Umbreon Vmax Alt Art but that was before the price jumps.

I pulled out pack my umbreon vmax today , man this made my day. Best pulls from packs ever .
I think chilling reign is a great value at $83 a booster box.. I think it is a unique set that will long term do well because of all the alt arts
I agree, I really think people have overlooked this set but it has an insane number of amazing cards and alt art cards especially
Hey, what sources do you recommend for Pokémon release info and special drops?
What are your recommendations for how to hang cards on the wall to keep them safe and display them nicely / how do you do it?
New to Pokémon, not new to tgc. I pulled a Umbreon vmax in my very first pack today which has me completely shocked. Should I get it graded?
Loved the video! what do you think about the eeveelutions boxes with the alternate arts in them already
I just recently got into collecting Pokémon cards again. I did as a kid back when it was all brand new but grew away from it.
Blazakan alt art was my first alt art since getting back into it. I traded it for an unopened shining fates ETB which I felt ok with cuz I was wanting to get my collection jump started.
Now I have a good amount of Alt Arts
I love the sleeping in the cloud dragonite V alt art so much from evolving skies.. still one of my chase cards ice rider calyrex vmax alt art is also very underrated that card looks beautiful with its wintery theme
So whats the reason for the super low price on mew v alt art? when its a desired meta card as well?
They're Bales of Hay Jake. Got you covered bruh! 🤜🤛
Great video ! Thank you
mew vmax alt needs more love, it's insane
I picked up the latios and latias card a while back for a great deal. Still my favorite card in my collection

@@hugotsui3009 Right, but they're not as hard to pull as the VMax alt arts, I think they're more like the V alt arts.
And how do you have to enter the competition to get one
Thanks man I've naturally pulled at least half of this list but crazy enough I have 3 vmax alt rays and no umbreon.
Oddly I have the opposite of that, I need that ray ray bad
@Boom FuQ hay man you should be happy you can sell 1 and get both ray alts lol
If I can by a 1st Edition Shininy Charizard (ungraded) at my local comic book shop for $700, is that a good deal for me to buy it?
Are both the JPN and English worth the same in price?
Leafeon is rolling around “bags of GRASS!”
I have the rayquaza vmax alt art!!!! I pulled it from a random pack in an urshifu box. Talk about unexpected
I was hoping to hear your opinion on the Umbreon VMAX art like you did the other cards but the entire time you just talked about the set prices ;n;
Ive been getting to buying singles but never know if im over paying for cards. What website do you use to determine how much a card is worth? Thank you.
Very informative ty
In your opinion whats the lowest The Umbreon Vmax Alt Art would go if/when they reprint Evolving Skies one or two times…. Really want that card
I only have 3 but I was lucky enough to pull my favorite 2 out of my first booster box. It's the sylveon vmax and the espeon v. I also have the sandaconda and the sealed eeveelution vmax premium collection ones.
I 100 percent agree with this. I believe an Evolving Skies reprint is inevitable.
Amazing vidéo. Great job. Those cards are so amazing. I m collecting pokemon since i discovert the alternates cards. I m so exited when i look at her.
how good the korean pokemon card for investment?
Yeah that will definitely be crazy if they release a Alt Art Zard VMAX.. also havent got a Alt Art Dragonite VMAX… yet 😜
I want so many of those evolving skies alt arts, especially the umbreon vmax. Too expensive :( anyone know if they are doing an evolving skies reprint??
They are more than likely going to this year especially after the Pokemon company stated they will ramp up production
@@JusZard let’s hope so !! Start putting a savings aside for these cards !! That’s what I’m doing I have horrible luck with packs

A booster box is a gamble. No guaranteed alt art in a booster box. Tcg player has these market priced at $158.
Zeraora v is being slept on so hard when chilling reign is unobtainable down the road that card is going to be very desired when people look back on it one of the best artworks ever
Rayquaza and Umbreon vmax alt art cards are the most beautiful and stunning!
Glad to have owned 2 on this list. Always wanted the Latios and Latias card. Hopefully one day.
While the evolving skies eeveelution cards are absolutely stunning and I’m so close to completing my set, I love the adp alt from cosmic eclipse, something just so epic about the stone statue

@TwicebakedJake
My buddy and I just pulled that alt art Char from Brilliant stars. Should we get this stabbed? So new to the hobby don't know what I should do lol
Just got a glaceon vmax for 87 at my LGS… I freaked out inside and asked what’s wrong with it? lol
Not even LP, so I picked that up QUICK
Hit the gengar and mimikyu alternate art from team up a month or 2 ago from a dollar general pack. Oldest one i own.
a lot of detail missed about Alt Art Rayquaza. Rayquaza is played a lot in the TCG and the price of the alt arts are expensive because of that factor as well as players are trying to bling out their decks with the main pokemon in the deck.
personal fav alt art chain starts here mine is mew v alt art from fusion strike
How do you have 6 vmax Pokémon cards I only have 5 vmax
Absolutely LOVED this video.. as well as the 2nd place love heart card.. i just want that catd to display.. as im collecting the whole evolving skies set, it definately hss cost me all my funds, i havent pulled snything from my boosters nor single packets.. as im not lycky in pulls i have to psy that price.. thank you
When you give the prices they are going for... do you mean for graded or raw cards?
They are raw prices if I’m not mistaken
The big questions is: Does Jake have all these cards? If he does, then I will too.
I just started collecting and have the Umbreon V alt art. Not the Vmax though. Didnt even know it was an alt art until someone let me know :')
Charizard vs Venusaur might be the coolest card ever. Should be #1
You called the Charizard vmax alternate art in this video before we knew about the Charizard ultra premium set. Which has leaked images recently!
I only pulled 2 cards off this list, the gengar and rayquaza and I’m happy with them
Gengar my fav Pokemon and it's not even close
I’d love to honestly just get one of these haha
I’m still beating myself for skipping on umbreon vmax alt art for $135 now it’s over $250. Why why why!?!
If they made the charizard v alt art card have shiny charizard and shiny Venusaur it would break all records. Just imagine how beautiful that card would be
Have latios and latias gx picked it up lil less then a year ago at a card shop for 80 bucks 😍
Do you play Arceus?
Still made there isn’t an Eevee V alternate art or full art and an eevee vmax alternate art
It breaks my heart and soul that I don't any own of these cards, and boy did I try too. For Christmas I was given two ES Booster Boxes and still didn't pull anything.
I totally agree… prepare for a reprint of ES
Calling it now, they’re going to reprint etbs for this like vivid and darkness ablaze almost garunteed, way too hot of a set
