    “on a budget” $400 booster pack -_-

    • @P.Subaeruginosa

      There's always a chance you may lose money on it but a 400$ pack is essentially the same as $400 in savings.

    @AndyGwak 3 роки тому +54

    I think one major benefit of collecting ETB is that ETB will cover the specialty sets while the booster box won't. For example, there is no booster box for hidden fates or champion's path. ETB gives the ability for collector to have a small piece of all the available sets out there.

    • @lefthandedghost
      @lefthandedghost 3 роки тому +3

      Absoultely Andy. I will also add, the ETB's (especially the collector sets like Champion's Path, Hidden Fates and Shining Legends, etc...) You are guaranteed more of your moneys worth. The promo card that is usually worth 20-30 dollars raw, the dice, the sleeves, and so on, every little piece adds up, even if you rip the box and sell them individually. It's my favorite thing to collect AND rip, and nothing else comes close. Stay curious my friends!

    As I would add to the ETB investments Jake; The value in ETB's (especially the collector sets like Champion's Path, Hidden Fates and Shining Legends, etc...) You are guaranteed more of your moneys worth. The promo card that is usually worth 20-30 dollars raw, the dice, the sleeves, and so on, every little piece adds up, even if you rip the box and sell them individually. It's my favorite thing to collect AND rip, and nothing else comes close. Stay curious my friends!

    I’m 27 and just got back into collecting. Starting last year with all the Pokémon craze, I decided to re-watch the entire series and ever since then I’ve had Pokémon fever. Gotta catch em all! Your video have really helped me understand the modern cards as I really had no clue what I was doing. As much nostalgia the older cards bring me they are a little too pricey for my taste. I’m much more interested in the modern cards and buying them for retail. Keep up the great videos !

    Gosh, the Japanese base set pack art is sooo good. I wish I had picked up more as a kid. Back then I was all about the two gym sets (in Japanese) that had just come out when I got into the hobby for the first time. It's not like I kept any sealed products from back then though! Although I was able to pick up 6 sealed Chinese base set packs recently so I'm pretty happy with that!

    Thx for the advice. This year I want to have a new collection and I'm new to collecting pokemon cards. I've started to order the vivid voltage, champion's path and hidden fates and soon pick them up. Those are going to be some of the collections I like to amass in my inventory and store as they are. As much as I like to purchase older trainer boxes, their price tags are steep. Will there be a video about information on the order of all the collectors boxes from the very first to recent? Maybe you have already done that and I'm just lazy to check your vids lol. But I will try to watch all your very interesting and informative videos. Thanks again for your dedication for the new hobbyists.

    Arita is definitely one of the most important artists... but Ken Sugimori is the #1 most important to Pokémon and Pokemon cards. The artwork on the base set box is Sugimori. The game boxes. Even down to the pixel art Sugimori-San was by far the most important and influential artist of my generation.

Just wondered if you could do an updated version of your accessible cards video. The cards that are worth investing in maybe for under $50. Always nice to learn. Also the original video if you could update on the prices of the cards now to see how they are getting on? Just an idea :). Keep it up!

    What is the biggest risk of graded cards?

    • @TwicebakedJake
      @TwicebakedJake  3 роки тому +1

      The biggest risk is probably price drops. Sealed products consistently go up with age but graded cards do not follow that same rule, they trend more based on popularity rather than supply

      SGC is not big on graded pokemon cards. They're much more sports oriented and own a very small portion of the graded pokemon card market. That's all. They're definitely reputable though, an SGC graded charizard sold for $300k recently
