I love when new collectors come into the hobby cuz they are eager to buy and I can sell them stuff. And I love when people get scared and try to leave the hobby cuz I get to buy their stuff
I started collecting in 1998, and used to have a Pokemon base set master set, and have watched this hobby/ franchise grow so so so much bigger than I ever thought it would be, and it’s mixed parts scary and exciting Edit:I’ve learned over the years that the card hobby is a patience game, buy your sets, your rares, do your “ripping”, get them graded, and patiently wait, for the next 5, 10, even 20 years to go by, then start offloading, let all those sets quit being printed/ reprinted first….
If you guys are going to spend $600, buy 4/17/25 HOOD calls; if you're willing to gamble that amount in Pokémon, I'd imagine you'd be willing to gamble that amount on the stock market. You're welcome in advance. Edit: 1/16/26 55c is an alternative for the sameish price today. Bookmark this, set a reminder, and tell me later how you wish you did this.
I examine the charts. when a booster box's 69 day moving average hit's 169$ and it's more than 69 days since the last wave sold out at distributors then thats the signal to buy buy buy.
Agreed. The thing is. Even if that happens (a set tanking), it still isn´t a problem if you are patient. At some point, the set will go up. Pokémon has such a great fanbase, true fans will probably always be accumulating. Then, at some point, the hype rises again and the ceiling will be a bit higher again. True fans will see their investment rise over time unless they are really unlucky and got in at the wrong time and had to sell at the wrong time.
A wise investment once said “ When people are greedy be careful and when people are careful be greedy” Battle Styles if you can buy in large volume is the long term play.
I love it when we have something for sale and somebody comments like" I can get that at Target for a third the price' Even though it's 2 years on a print cycle and just for fun we look it up and it's literally more than what we're selling it for on Target's website😂
Everyone has a story about the way that they entered the hobby even if it’s basic like they got interested in the hobby because of their friends. It’s crazy that I probably wouldn’t know anything about Pokemon or have all of the incredible memories opening packs if it wasn’t for a McDonald’s happy meal in 2015 with a zigzagoon card as the happy meal toy inside. My dad could’ve said that we’re going to Wendy’s that day instead of McDonald’s and I wouldn’t be watching this UA-cam channel right now or have a collection worth at least $1,000 from a decade of collecting😵💫
Well said Alex! Straight to the point. This hobby is not cheap, as it was once been. Investing in Pokémon should be like investing in anything..... with discretionary funds only. This way we are not forced to sell when times are tuff. In fact, we should hold some dry powder (aka cash), as Alex explained, to take advantage on bear market cycles and steep discounts like Black Friday/Boxing Day and new set releases.
Fusion Strike had such a low print run. On eBay UK there’s just 10 Fusion Strike listings available by UK sellers compared to Evolving Skies at 27. Same story on eBay US, way more ES boxes. Take into account ES is an older set so more would have been opened. I think it’s fair to say FS print run was at least half of what ES was and even the ES print run was considered small. I’ve picked up another 5 boxes of Fusion today at £190 - 200. I’m looking at selling my small stack of One Piece to fund more Fusion whilst it’s still cheap
@ Yeah I had been picking them up since late April/May. I picked up 155 from the Pokémon centre, man it was such a strange experience seeing them in stock for so long when it was such an obvious insane pickup. I thought best case scenario I’d get 20 at a big push before we sold out as I was buying when CR and the US sold out of FS. I’ve got another 10 off the secondary market after PCUK sold out typically £170-200 a box. Even at £250 though I believe it’s a good price for what they’ll be in 5 years time from now. I’m feeling £1500 a box, maybe crazy but someone tag me in 5 years to see if I was crazy or not! By then it’ll be a 8/9 year old set from the best modern era and the 2nd best SWSH main set so there’s a decent chance
Same here in California bro if ur lucky enough if u go to a local card shop u might find something luckily I get very along with the card owner and held a surging sparks booster box and he sold it at normal price $120 out of the $200 they where charging
I agree with this video, but I hate just how difficult it has been to get new sets and product. Surging sparks can out and immediately boomed; I think that is possibly due to TCG pocket but then there’s set like prismatic evolutions where my local retail stores aren’t even able to get product to sell. It’s like at what point does the high demand with so little supply just kill all new sets for people because others just take as much as they can then skyrocket the price
Hey, just found your channel as I’m getting back into Pokemon cards! What are your thoughts on collecting PSA 10 Slabs versus Sealed ETBs and booster boxes? As of now, I have a couple slabs and ETBs, thanks and cheers from Canada!
I've disagreed with you in the past but this time you were spitting straight facts. In every market, whether it's Pokémon or even crypto, when others are fearful that is the time to be greedy and to accumulate. Thumbs up from me 👊
One think i learned about investing is doing your own diligence and research for yourself because if you listen to anyone else you'll lose if they lose
Should I keep my 151 booster bundle display caese or sell. Knowing blooming water going to come out with decent amount of packs inside but maybe after that the booster bundle box will rise?
Those are like bigger booster boxes for 151. They are a collectible in their own right like the UPC and the PC ETB. Not everyone keeps theirs sealed either. Most people piece out the bundles inside. They carry a premium above the prices of the packs inside combined. They have never been priced based on the value of the packs inside either on the secondary market.
Got into fusion late about half a year to a year ago at 1800 cdn a sealed case and 250 one loose bb. No regrets. Holding one case PC exclusive etbs MSRP, 1 case 3 pack blisters MSRP and like 200 loose packs. To the moon
So impressive getting these videos out daily. I wonder if there’s something about the name Alex like Alexander the great that gives you this drive. lol Keep it up
Been enjoying your stuff for awhile now. I used to be really active on the pokemon deals discord. I still hold my 200 english bbs and over 100 japanese bbs. Hope someday to go to different card shows and sell and trade as a vendor. I just figure im pre buying for my job in a few years 😆
I made an entire video and live dedicated to it months ago. It's honestly not a big deal. Boxes are not valued off the cards inside over enough time. They are valued as collectible items themselves which is what people fail to understand.
i actually just started this hobby no lie last week. all because of the tcg pocket mobile app. i realized instead of spending money on the digital cards let me put that money into physical cards that I can make a return on in the future should it ever come to that.
i joined the hobby of collecting 3 months ago and investing 2 months ago. and all knowledge i collected without investing or collecting in it is all explained in this video. i also think the bull market will continu for at least half a year but i also think it wont last for more than 1 and a half year becaus after the team rocket set there is at least 1 lesser set in hype than sets that came out this year and prismatic and team rocket next year
Geezus.... when I heard that "folks" I knew we were in for some grinch news! lool... Merry Xmas ya filthy animals... Thank you for all the awesome content Nostalgia!!!
I do have some long term pokemon card investments but I don’t think you can invest in this hobby short term. I bought SS case for $990 after taxes back when it was $140 a booster box. Sold that same case for Christmas at $1200. After fees/shipping I barely broke even. Only going to invest in this hobby if I believe in the long term of the product.
perfect example, i just bought evo skies for £700 ($888.01) it currently sells for around $950 roughly. i think in 2-3 years it could reach $2-3000 and people will look at it and think damn i wish i'd bought it at £700. if you look at the set value between evo skies and team up evo skies is worth about $700 more than team up and team up sells for around $2000 to evo skies is heavily discounted but people don't see it because they just see a big price tag rather than looking for where the value is. do you see the eeveelutions cards crashing at any point in the next 2-3 years? then why haven't you bought in yet?
That's called chasing the dagger, buying when the drop is happening. Its a common stock fallacy that usually ends in more losses for the dagger chaser.
@wspatriotsrock27 Pokemon sealed is different. Every day there is less and less in existence. It would be like a stock losing publicly traded shares every day.
FINALLY someone said it! All these bozo's scared of a crash are under capitalised! Wealth is made when fear is HIGH! Be fearful when confidence is high and be confident when fear is high. Simple economics, buy low, sell high! Bring on the bear market!
I am basically out buying new product till things settle down. Of course I will “attempt” to get a Primatic ETB from PC.. But I got some Black Friday deals that were reasonable to open some ETBs in the interim and will sell cards into the highs.. 😮
Whenever someone starts saying something like "If X did/didn't happen then we wouldn't have Y" I always respond with "If my Aunt had balls she'd be my Uncle" 🤣Not much more needs to be said
im looking for cases to buy and its been pretty dry last month. if boxes are 80 again im happy even if im losing value cuz i get to buy again the cool thing about pokemon products is that they dont go bankrupt like companies can on the stock market.
You just gotta know the right people. Got a case of PR just last month for $520. Plenty of other S&V cases still around for $650-750. If you see them on the market for the public at $800, best believe someone else is getting it for $100 under.
A Positive one for investors. Negative for consumers. It will actually help the market becuase you will no longer have tiktok subsidizing these lower prices with all of the coupons and lower fees they charge sellers.
Eventually another platform will take over but the time between that shift, products aren’t going to be ripped at the same rate. How might this going to impact the market? ie. supply/ demand, price changes etc. I’m just trying to figure out how to capitalize on what could be a small window of opportunity. Thanks in advance! Appreciate your content and insight in this market. 🙏
To all the people that say no way I’m selling cheap just wait till you’re out dry needing the cash, people always are quick to answer and never really think about what they’re saying
I find nobody has ever actually left the hobby. They just have long periods where the money needs to go to other things in life. They all return eventually even if they sold their entire collection. So nobody actually ever leaves the hobby
So what you're saying is you have the extra and they don't simple as, no need for the back and forth or people who don't earn enough shouldn't be in this hobby it's too expensive for their pockets, let's be honest those that have extra can buy more those who can't can only get what they can afford, which ain't cases it's a booster box at best or packs more than likely 😢 I'm speaking for the lower end of folks that work and have a small collection not these folks who buy everything for half of what it is now, I'm 34 and just got back into it collecting I'm now collecting for art mostly its just doesn't seem fun for those coming back after years away from a kid but it's life you win and lose.
I love your videos, content, and knowledge of how investing actually works. Very nice way of making it simple for people to understand. Keep it up Alex!!
The only thing I think is foolish about this video is the assumption we’re going to see a downturn here coming up. Prismatic Evolution’s to start 2025 Journey Together in March Team Rocket set in Summer. 2025 is going to see new highs

"They're going to take full advantage of you when you took full advantage of the market" ... Alex!! Writing bars brother! As always, very insightful.
My main takeaway from this video is that fusion strike exploded to $350, glad i went heavy into this set. Wow!
I examine the charts. when a booster box's 69 day moving average hit's 169$ and it's more than 69 days since the last wave sold out at distributors then thats the signal to buy buy buy.
What do you use to easily see on what date distributors all sold out?
Agreed. The thing is. Even if that happens (a set tanking), it still isn´t a problem if you are patient. At some point, the set will go up. Pokémon has such a great fanbase, true fans will probably always be accumulating. Then, at some point, the hype rises again and the ceiling will be a bit higher again. True fans will see their investment rise over time unless they are really unlucky and got in at the wrong time and had to sell at the wrong time.
Hey Alex! Do you recall, roughly, how much booster boxes for EX Team Rocket Returns and EX Deoxy were in the 2015/2016 era?
Pokemon will never hit 0, and that's a fact. There is no way it can be disputed.
Tell that to the thing called "nuclear bombs"
A wise investment once said “ When people are greedy be careful and when people are careful be greedy” Battle Styles if you can buy in large volume is the long term play.
F O L K S ? !
I don’t see this happening for a LONG time! Pokemons growing more and more now more then ever!

“NEWS FLASH!” Is very funny to me. Plaster that onto a shirt, I’d buy it.

The only time I can say I waited and it was worth it was when ultra prism got a small reprint. I definitely got super lucky on that.

Your breakdown the the cyclical nature of the markets with fear and greed was so well done

do you see the eeveelutions cards crashing at any point in the next 2-3 years?
then why haven't you bought in yet?
Also price sensitivity is spot on for people joining this hobby people just want the cards they don’t care what someone paid 5 years ago
Sealed is king! When there’s a crash its time to bring out the cash, when prices rise be smart with your buys.
i think future sets like prismatic evoltion will not have a downfall or flatning in price like chilling reign or something
That's called chasing the dagger, buying when the drop is happening. Its a common stock fallacy that usually ends in more losses for the dagger chaser.
@wspatriotsrock27 Pokemon sealed is different. Every day there is less and less in existence. It would be like a stock losing publicly traded shares every day.
FINALLY someone said it! All these bozo's scared of a crash are under capitalised! Wealth is made when fear is HIGH! Be fearful when confidence is high and be confident when fear is high. Simple economics, buy low, sell high! Bring on the bear market!

love the pokemon market because its nothing like the stock market, its nothing like real estate, its nothing like the rolex market.
Cash is King. I’m going balls deep when the market is down.
You can’t time the market
Cash is king
im looking for cases to buy and its been pretty dry last month. if boxes are 80 again im happy even if im losing value cuz i get to buy again
the cool thing about pokemon products is that they dont go bankrupt like companies can on the stock market.
Bruh it ain’t going to $80 again anytime soon😂
You just gotta know the right people. Got a case of PR just last month for $520. Plenty of other S&V cases still around for $650-750. If you see them on the market for the public at $800, best believe someone else is getting it for $100 under.
I cant get over how cheap shrouded fable is now and I'm still not convinced its worth investing in!
Idk… SF is the one “recent” set I’m 99% sure won’t get a reprint. Plus it has no booster box. Glad I got a few Kingdra boxes for 20 dollars a pop
Where are you buying it from?
Banger video look forward to more
I thought you had a new mic what the hell is going on 😅🤣🤣 thanks for the video bro get better for Christmas sake

To all the people that say no way I’m selling cheap just wait till you’re out dry needing the cash, people always are quick to answer and never really think about what they’re saying
This market is hard to find product worth buying. Ive been stacking up on slabs lately.
I find nobody has ever actually left the hobby. They just have long periods where the money needs to go to other things in life. They all return eventually even if they sold their entire collection. So nobody actually ever leaves the hobby
Man said dec 23, 2024 I had to look what day it was 😂
Released a day early lol
Great video Alex
So what you're saying is you have the extra and they don't simple as, no need for the back and forth or people who don't earn enough shouldn't be in this hobby it's too expensive for their pockets, let's be honest those that have extra can buy more those who can't can only get what they can afford, which ain't cases it's a booster box at best or packs more than likely 😢 I'm speaking for the lower end of folks that work and have a small collection not these folks who buy everything for half of what it is now, I'm 34 and just got back into it collecting I'm now collecting for art mostly its just doesn't seem fun for those coming back after years away from a kid but it's life you win and lose.
Im a simple man...i want perrin and Growlithe SIR from twilight masquerade...thats all i want lol
Absolutely correct seen it before 2xs !!!!
Just buy items that people will always want if you are a investor. Do your research that’s it.
FOLKS! (Ty for the content)
