@@Leon-hl1qiyour point about the most expensive card being the price of the booster box is so far from true. For example, look at XY evolutions card prices vs booster box prices. The prices are usually most exclusive than you think
At the end of 2021 Full Grip Games card shop had 24 Team Up Booster boxes for like 2 days for 600 when they were going for 800. So glad I grabbed one and still have it. Also preordered a booster case of Evolving Skies and still have that. That set was SO obvious man. Only set I’ve bought a case of.
Pokemoncenter also dropped unlimited quantities order of team up mini portfolios with a single booster pack around that time only for a couple minutes.
I missed the train on literally every opportunity I had with Evolving Skies. I remember seeing the Moonbreon going for around $250ish thinking it would go down. I thought about buying a few booster boxes when it was around $200 per...didn't buy. At this point the set is amazing, but full of nothing but regrets.
I brought 2 evolving skies booster boxes when it first released, I got absolutely nothing from either of them. Should have just kept sealed because that set is a disappointment to open.
Hard disagree on 151 not being that fun to open, the bad pull rates just make the pulls that much more exciting. And surprised you never mentioned crown zenith being the last yellow border set, also the Galarian gallery is what makes it fire 🔥
Question, If I didn’t want or couldn’t buy whole booster boxes, and have more money available to packs, would it be a good idea to buy unopened packs little by little, vs booster boxes?
Astral Radiance is highly underrated! Tons of Trainer Gallery Cards but also great pull rates. Wouldn’t be surprised if it blows up in the future. There was also no major reprint of the set and not very many graded cards in circulation!!
I think the set at 5 year mark that will be close to Team Up will be Pokémon 151 Japanese booster box. I feel it will not hit $2000 but I could see $1400 to $1800 range. I think Evolving Skies hits $1100 to $1300 at 5 years.
That's some incredibly wishful thinking given that everyone had already fully adopted the behaviour of hoarding sealed product before 151 came out. You'll see it hit the low hundreds in 5 years, but *_definitely_* not the thousands. Also Evolving skies is already over 2.5 years old - more than halfway - so I'm calling BS on that one at the 5 year mark too.
I'm holding on to a few "art sets" of the mighty mysterious tins, which include x1 of evo skies, brilliant stars and fusion strike packs. I could see this doing fairly well in years to come once those sets start to see value increase.
I opened up a case of evolving cries the first week it was released and didn’t get umbreon or the rayquaza but got a bunch of other stuff. And I did back into the hobby right at that last wave of hidden fate and pulled the zard after line up in front of target Friday morning for a hour
my top 5 highest potential sets of the swsh era till now is evo skies, 151, fusion strike, chilling reign, and lost origin in that order. 151 and evo skies are the most fun ive ever had opening a set and by far have the most potential out of all the sets released in the last 2 eras, fusion strike has some extremely popular pokemon in it and it has some very undervalued alt arts like the celebi and mew, chilling reign has some amazing artwork though the pokemon featured in the set are not as popular as the ones featured in fusion strike which is why i rank it below fusion strike, and lost origin has the giratina and a pretty good trainer gallery though to be honest this set is very close to brilliant stars in my mind in terms of quality and potential. only reason i ranked it above bs is because of how well the giratina has preformed compared to the charizard though to be honest i still dont understand why that is the case. honestly the only set that i think is subject to change on this list is lost origin. as i said before its very close to bs in terms of quality and potential but thats not the only set i think it is close to in terms of quality, their are some scarlet and violet sets like paldea evolved and paradox rift that i think may outperform lost origin however its to early to tell if that is the case.
That's what I'm seeing with the sun and moon era, idk if I should invest in some singles or maybe the cards will not raise in value like older cards that never picked up in value
in Canada walmart just had some 25% all regular priced pokemon cards, then on the last day of the sale they stocked zacian figure collections with a "new price" of $68cad ($50usd).. the 25% off worked on it and they rang up to $48cad ($35usd)... That broke down the box to $4cad a pack!!! or about $2.90usd! I was shook and grabbed a bunch over the 151 and paldean fates that was sitting there
The box shouldn’t exceed the cost of the best hit. Why would anyone spend more than that? There’s definitely more sealed boxes than there are umbreon vmax in existence. I’d go as far to say there is millions of sealed boxes of evolving skies tucked away in closets, currently.
When Celebrations gets any traction whatsoever it's going to blow right by these other sets other than maybe Team Up. Anniversary set with no booster boxes, Gold Stars, Shinings, all 3 base set starter holos etc. It's the most underrated set in existence.
@grantkearney6354 agreed, celebrations was overhyped trash. The goofy pikachu stamp on every card instantly identifies them as the poor imitation of the real versions of those cards.
Jake this is the first time I feel you maybe using your influence to peddle certain sets. If you have unlimited stock of celebrations why would it drive to 5000 and additionally team up is a booster box. Three of them are specialty sets. They aren’t similar. Just disappointing
Joining Whatnot is similar to opening a shop in the same plaza as a strip club. But to me Jake's not a sellout because he's always maintained a relatively neutral position throughout the drama so he's free to do whatever he wants. Now if Rattle joined Whatnot...that would be a complete 180 and betrayal because he's taken such a firm position against them.
didn't he sell out to whatnot, what a scummy move. I guess everyone has a price when those dollars get thrown in your face. Still hasn't said how much they are paying him
@kingc209 Jesus Christ calm down. Yes Whatnot has a poor reputation and may have tarnished him slightly but the way you’re talking it’s like he’s committed murder or something. Have a word with yourself.
@@TwicebakedJake haha I'm sure, hope its worth the tarnish that your reputation is stained with now... Unfortunately you may or may not know the insidious (and inherent) scamming that whatnot has allowed, if you do know and choose to ignore it for a tiny bit of money, would suggest what about your personal character exactly?
@@fortherestofmylife66you just gotta let the man find out, that you're guilty by association. I thought everyone learned that as a kid but I guess not.
@@nocapvisualz its far worse than guilt by association, its outright guilt of enabling. Without the social media profile of some of the people they poach from UA-cam the company would fall apart. Its a house of cards
I feel like 151 definitely needs to be on the list. You can’t just brush it off saying “it has bad pull rates” cuz so does evolving skies 🤷🏽♂️
I think Brilliant Stars is going to be a set to collect, since the pull rates were very good and the chase cards were pretty cool
@@Leon-hl1qiyour point about the most expensive card being the price of the booster box is so far from true. For example, look at XY evolutions card prices vs booster box prices. The prices are usually most exclusive than you think
Still cant believe I pulled the Lati@s and Gengar alt arts back then. Had no idea what they would become!
I bought two battle festa pikachu’s for like $30 each back in 2014. Graded them for $10 each and got a 10 on both lol my best come up so far
Did you keep them in good condition / keep them at all at least? Thats awesome if its still in your collection
That's so cool bro. Congrats!

Why would you leak our local store 😅 now all the scalpers going to go in there and pick up all the goodies
@@nocapvisualzthey are still low key, I remember that sale. Firm handshakes all around.

Same here I missed my chance at 175 usd thinking it was going to stay that way, man was I wrong
Well in a few boxes u still get 1-2 packs so
Dude people are still getting into team up at over 2k, so 500 still don’t seem too low.
I brought 2 evolving skies booster boxes when it first released, I got absolutely nothing from either of them. Should have just kept sealed because that set is a disappointment to open.
@@CaptainChedda Box break live streams too will always keep these boxes being bought and opened, pokerev is bloody well opening his 1st edition box.

Where is your whatnot schedule posted? I want to catch a show but never know when they are
Question, If I didn’t want or couldn’t buy whole booster boxes, and have more money available to packs, would it be a good idea to buy unopened packs little by little, vs booster boxes?
no, save up for a display because those often cant be weighted and depending on the set, they have guaranteed hits
No latios/latias, but got gengar mimikyu from a 1$ pack, as well as rainbow lugia gx. Psa 10 on them both.
Astral Radiance is highly underrated! Tons of Trainer Gallery Cards but also great pull rates. Wouldn’t be surprised if it blows up in the future. There was also no major reprint of the set and not very many graded cards in circulation!!
I wonder if the pull rates changed after the initial wave release of Evolving Skies. 🤔 I recall some the pulls were great in the first wave.
I think Lost Thunder is a sleeper on set that might jump up to Team up value soon. The set has Lugia and Mimikyu which are fan favorites
Great set.
I think the set at 5 year mark that will be close to Team Up will be Pokémon 151 Japanese booster box. I feel it will not hit $2000 but I could see $1400 to $1800 range. I think Evolving Skies hits $1100 to $1300 at 5 years.

Hey Jake, do you keep track of you collection online? If so how do you do it, and do you catalog every card? Even Bulk?
Jake never responds , so dont hold your breath
What you think sleeved packs evolving skies price is gonna be 5 years from now ?
Im still seeing many singles from sun and moon going for 5$-50$ idk if I should buy or if they will be cards that never increase in value
I think lost origins has great potential
There are two sets that come to mind and tha you didn't mention. These sets are Unified Minds and Unbroken Bonds
FUS or 151 ?
Thanks for your video 🙏🏼
I'm holding on to a few "art sets" of the mighty mysterious tins, which include x1 of evo skies, brilliant stars and fusion strike packs. I could see this doing fairly well in years to come once those sets start to see value increase.
I mean loot at the japanese GX tag team high class set . Its like $600 per box , this is still lagiing especially the singles in the team up set.

The singles are cheap but where are Celebrations sealed products available at retail?
That's what I'm seeing with the sun and moon era, idk if I should invest in some singles or maybe the cards will not raise in value like older cards that never picked up in value
Ugh wished I kept all my TeamUp product sealed, I would've of been sitting in a gold mine. Best card I pulled from TU is the Magi&Wailord.

I started collecting with celebrations so i bought a few boxes but did not get enough evolving skies for sure,.
The set is absolutely bonkers! The love birds is the dream CHASE
It’s crazy how expensive this set is. I can imagine a price drop if pokemon decides to bring the gimmick back.
Great video Jake !
No other sets from the last 5 years will reach Team up except maybe Cosmic. It was waaaaay under printed.
I only have a few sealed team up. Ugh I hope celestial storm or ultra prism does well I’m sitting on a stack of sealed of those two sets
Ultra prism has had quite a boost lately :)
Thanks Jake
Great info in this video, thanks Jake!
151 was fun until the disappointment takes over. One etb and the hits were an alt art ivysaur and 2 wigglytuff ex.
Japanese 151 is better
.....I've cracked something like 80-100 151 packs. I've yet to pull a wigglytuff ex 😂 it's one of the few cards I need
We need a new team up 😍✨
Well tbh celebrations has been on the current price for a while. Most good swsh sets are going up now. I can see celebrations go up soon.
Jaaaaake! PLLEEAAAAAASE make us a list of Japanese suppliers you trust!
He never shares this info , will never give you information like this . I dont blame him
Nice video Jake
Buyee delivery inspection is just inspection of the box it was delivered in...been burnt a few times using Buyee
Fake cards...
Cosmic eclipse is only pricey because they didn't print it into oblivion.
Sealed products always win!
I've opened ~100 packs of ES and have pulled the Sylveon Vmax alt, Umbreon Vmax alt and Leafeon V alt.
The box shouldn’t exceed the cost of the best hit. Why would anyone spend more than that? There’s definitely more sealed boxes than there are umbreon vmax in existence. I’d go as far to say there is millions of sealed boxes of evolving skies tucked away in closets, currently.
eevee heroes is the correct answer

Nope, overprinted garbage.
Depends on the product, the UPC and PC ETB will definitely do well.
Really think Celebrations was a trash set in my opinion lol.
@@FallingStar1080 this...especially the UPC I think will do well... It's been very flat though so we will see.

Literally lol. I’m sure he owns tonnes of it don’t worry. Oh wait what 🤔
Pack break coming to what not
6 booster box-es.
Whatnot ad playing before this and only this video is 🧑🍳 💋
jake calling crown zenith a popular set is a stretch
Tag teams weren’t a gimmick imo
Wrong. OG shiny hunt was shining legends
Maybe I’m just a hater but that latios and latias alt art is one of the most overrated cards in the whole hobby
