My complaint on the collection boxes is that I am counting on someone remembering the box exists. It's easier for someone to type "fusion strike ETB" or "Booster box", but to remember there was an orbeatle collection box results in fewer transactions. I know I can post boosters and ETBs and they will sell.
booster boxes will always be king. that being said, many booster boxes become too expensive for consumers so liquidity wise it might be easier for them to swallow an ETB or collection box purchase. I personally focus on booster boxes as they're the most efficient for storage and the higher ticket items.
yea I can agree with this.. and as much fun as it would be to open up a Team Up Booster Box now, there's literally no reason to do so. That's the crappy part of when booster boxes basically price themselves out of being affordable
Ive been mostly sticking to booster boxes. Just picked up a couple fusion strike from the official pokemon center website, theyre still in stock! Prob drying up soon tho
Hi Colin, thanks for these videos. I always appreciate your takes on investing ideas. You're not the first creator I've seen who has opened tons of PF packs and hasn't got the Mew or Gardevoir, but pulled multiple Zards. Do you think the Zard could drop below either, or both, of those in value?
Would love to hear your take on blister packs! Another great way to get sealed packs that cant be tampered with but maybe thats an obvious point. I think theres plenty of other advantages to them as well. 151 upcs are great, first two I scored a charizard EA in each, last one i only got a blastoise EA, not as bad but not what i was expecting. Loose packs are a gamble always. I have loose packs from the pokemon center that have factory glue on them, had one buyer try to claim they were resealed 🤦🏼♂️ dunno on loose packs
I’d be interested to know, if you can invest in one single Crown Zenith product, what would it be? Is it the Zacian/Zamazenta boxes, booster bundles, pikachu boxes. I think, just looking on a “packs only” value when you’re looking to buy
Dude you are spot on basically all the time lol YES!!! Sleeved booster hanger packs are AWESOME!!! I have a few already in my room. I'm gonna buy a cardboard display with hangers. Like in stores. It'll look great and I can hang all of my sleeved cardboard booster packs on there
So it’s not worth getting the regular ETB’s for resell? Would it be better to buy the Pokemon center ones? Keep on making great videos man. It’s per usual, “informative”. It’s very good for people like me who’s just getting into collecting.
Pokémon center etb are the way to go in most cases. Anything from paldea fates and zenith are a must have no question about that. You should talk about the milk cartons and the many that have been released in the past.
I’m a big fan of three pack blisters, especially if they have a promo with a popular Pokemon. They’re way easier to store and aren’t a gigantic investment. I don’t have much space in my apartment so small collectibles are where I’m at right now.
Boooster boxes for sure ! But i think the collection boxes are a good investment too. They tend to have lots of variety for opening packs up and the promo cards can also fetch a decent profit
For sure with out a doubt and I believe most collectors will agree is that etbs are the best display item. And I’m very excited that S&V did the PC exclusive with the stamped prom. I also am getting 4 of the mane sets and 8 of the special sets. I also get 2 BB of every mane set from S&V.
For the charizard, super rare is just the Japanese rarity name equivalent to ultra rare for English. It’s still a secret rare card, which is assigned to cards that have a set number greater than the main set number, 105/100 for example.
@@ThePokeOffice That makes sense. I just saw those zacian and zamazenta 11 pack boxes show up in my local Meijer, they’re $50 though which is a little steep. I’ve been seeing 151 upcs for $99 in store though so I might end up getting another.
Great video love the content hopefully I can win the Zard! I love booster boxes but man Pokémon collecting gets expensive😂 I heavily invested into paldea evolved, bought a couple cases for $89 and I’m telling you give it a year it’ll be up to the 150ish mark!!
Never been an investor but been ordering 151 booster bundles when I catch them at MSRP. Either gonna be a good investment or a really fun rip 15-20 years down the road!
Ive got so much to say . But ill keep it short. The main chunk of capital goes to booster cases. I pick up when boxes are 75-80 bucks and they have been lately My pride and joy is my 151 sealed esp mini tins i bought all from retail and price matched for8.99. i have 6 sealed cases of and upc i picked up at 79 bucks. I prefer spending 500 bucks and getting that beautiful 6 pack sealed case of boosters
The issue with the collection boxes are the price point. They are just too expensive in proportion to a booster box. They are basically trying to sell singles which is daft. If they lowered the price and treated the singles as bonuses, the collection boxes would be way more popular.
I should say overpriced singles at that. The issue is that if the single within actually goes up then it makes the collection box too expensive and set, when randomised chance of more expensive card balances the price.
Love your content Mr. Office. I would buy from you but ur in Canada so im sure that will cost a good extra penny. I be truly sorry. Tryna enjoy the hobby without breaking the family pocket.
Same feeling on booster boxes. I LOVE the way they look!! Definitely the best!!!! They display so beautifully!
There are some collection boxes that will do very well such as the Charizard/Reshiram GX, Arceus V, and any of the Eeveelution VMax boxes.
Getting sooo close to 9k! Congrats man!!!
thank you thank you

Yep it’s all about being sellable in the future for sure!
I feel the same way Collin! I appreciate your discussions and reports for us
There’s still a lot of collection boxes and tins with evolving skies packs in them at a reasonable price , I think there’s something there for a hold

I buy and store booster bundles and boxes too
Awesome video's ! Really good channel for investors and collectors 😊 a ten of Knowlage Zach video!
I really like the collection boxes, especially the brand new one that just came out with Lugia!
Ive been mostly sticking to booster boxes. Just picked up a couple fusion strike from the official pokemon center website, theyre still in stock! Prob drying up soon tho
yea I actually think they're out now... or maybe i'm thinking of a different set
Congrats on almost having 9K subs dude!!! You definitely deserve it!😁👍🏼
Thanks a ton!

Nope, I think zard is king and will continue to be king
I don’t like the Zamazenta box because the ETB has only 1 less pack, it costs less to buy right now, it stores better and looks better imo.
Would love to hear your take on blister packs!

I prefer booster boxes, but sealed blsters are good too, especially if you want to go a little cheaper and not go for a full booster box
Great video. The zard looks so good.
I’d be interested to know, if you can invest in one single Crown Zenith product, what would it be?
Is it the Zacian/Zamazenta boxes, booster bundles, pikachu boxes. I think, just looking on a “packs only” value when you’re looking to buy
then probably the booster bundles or ETBs personally
Great content as always. I agree with you that the best investment is booster boxes.
Do you buy acrylic cases for your booster boxes? If so where is the best place to do so. Appreciate all you Do!
Yea I get mine from tcgandgames.com they are nice ones
Dude you are spot on basically all the time lol YES!!! Sleeved booster hanger packs are AWESOME!!! I have a few already in my room. I'm gonna buy a cardboard display with hangers. Like in stores. It'll look great and I can hang all of my sleeved cardboard booster packs on there
May wanna keep an eye out if hanging it will stretch open the holes in the sleeved booster pack though, may affect its value
@@brandonlau3495 I won't be moving them once they are on the hanging rack. They'll be fine.
So it’s not worth getting the regular ETB’s for resell? Would it be better to buy the Pokemon center ones? Keep on making great videos man. It’s per usual, “informative”. It’s very good for people like me who’s just getting into collecting.
I'm not saying that ETBs are bad.. but i personally like other products a lot better
@@ThePokeOffice oh yeah they’re both great! Didn’t mean it that way. I was just curious if which one is better for the investment?
Great information and amazing content as always! Thanks for the videos!
Pokémon center etb are the way to go in most cases. Anything from paldea fates and zenith are a must have no question about that. You should talk about the milk cartons and the many that have been released in the past.
I almost never see the milk cartons around
The Small But Mighty Collection Box was incredible.
I’m a big fan of three pack blisters, especially if they have a promo with a popular Pokemon. They’re way easier to store and aren’t a gigantic investment. I don’t have much space in my apartment so small collectibles are where I’m at right now.
yea, i agree with this forsure!
let's go, 9k coming fast, earlier congrats
Boooster boxes for sure ! But i think the collection boxes are a good investment too. They tend to have lots of variety for opening packs up and the promo cards can also fetch a decent profit
yea the collection boxes that focus on the packs are good... the ones that are just meh kind of bore me
For sure with out a doubt and I believe most collectors will agree is that etbs are the best display item. And I’m very excited that S&V did the PC exclusive with the stamped prom. I also am getting 4 of the mane sets and 8 of the special sets.
I also get 2 BB of every mane set from S&V.
Totally agree booster boxes = best bang for the buck, and that will never change. Great video once again
Pack density over anything. Booster boxes and bundles over etbs all day.
What about special sets that have no booster box? So then the etb is the best option?…..
Booster bundle and PC ETB.
For the charizard, super rare is just the Japanese rarity name equivalent to ultra rare for English. It’s still a secret rare card, which is assigned to cards that have a set number greater than the main set number, 105/100 for example.
Yea I know it's just no one ever says "super rare" so when I first saw it, it took me by surprise
@@ThePokeOffice That makes sense. I just saw those zacian and zamazenta 11 pack boxes show up in my local Meijer, they’re $50 though which is a little steep. I’ve been seeing 151 upcs for $99 in store though so I might end up getting another.
I want to get into JP 151 really bad! Just recently found some for $7 a pack. Is that good? Really new to collecting so don't really know?
yes that's good
Good to know that NOT all of those large collection boxes are not *as* worth investing in. Some are actually worth it.
See I’ve been really into collecting ETBS but I feel like the best investment is booster boxes and UPC. Going to be picking up some more 151 UPC soon
I agree for booster boxes, one of the best way to invest in sealed products
I got 2 SAR out of a 151 UPC (twice)
Great vid as usual. Always enjoy the insight
Much appreciated
Great advice. Thanks.
Great video love the content hopefully I can win the Zard! I love booster boxes but man Pokémon collecting gets expensive😂 I heavily invested into paldea evolved, bought a couple cases for $89 and I’m telling you give it a year it’ll be up to the 150ish mark!!

That’s the beauty of it. If it all turns to worthlessness, I’m gonna have a real fun time ripping it all
statistically speaking I got one IR and a full art golem in my two 151 UPCs.
Yea but we already know you lose at every odds based game you touch!
Love the booster boxes too!
Displays are always a no brainer. Some ETB and UPC could be also interesting, but Displays will ever be my #1.
But etb are great for showcasing your sealed collection. Maybe not as high of return on investment compared to a bb. But you do have a promo card.
I personally like the booster box displays better than etb displays
@@ThePokeOffice 👍👍

Very nice Charizard givvy!
151 got me back into collecting
As it did a lot of people!!!
U r so close to 9 k😊
Still can’t wait to be able to invest in sealed
just keep at it slowly but surely and you'll get there
ETB will always be king no debate
hard disagree lol
Agree booster boxes are the way to go
I’ve heard the term a lot what is FOMO ? Forgive the ignorance
fear of missing out
You can still weigh sleeved boosters
of course you can, but it's not nearly as accurate from what i've seen
Great vid booster boxes than etbs!
Time in the market > timing the market
you are so wise!
Like a miniature buddha covered in hair 😂

blisters are also good
I wish i could keep em sealed, 😅
Booster bundles are king.
Love the content
Pokemon center exclusives are the best
yea they are pretty cool
Love your content Mr. Office. I would buy from you but ur in Canada so im sure that will cost a good extra penny. I be truly sorry. Tryna enjoy the hobby without breaking the family pocket.
yea its typically not worth it buying across the border, unless its a bigger purchase to make the shipping costs worth it
