I love how Celebrations came out swinging to defend itself!
"Probably going to be an affordable set for the next 20 years"
No one really knows for sure, but 20 years seems like a huge timeline. I'm expecting Celebrations to stay affordable for the next 3 to 5 years max. Regardless of the number of available copies, I still see the hobby steadily growing every day. When you have more people in the hobby, and an out-of-print set, the only expectation is for prices to go up. You might be able to find affordable copies far into the future that are not in good condition, but otherwise, this set is bound to be very expensive in the long-term.
I think the sealed products will definitely climb. The singles are definitely the most grey. It's very heavily printed and everyone collected these. So we'll see how it goes!
@@TwicebakedJakeI agree with you. Can’t go much higher than Unlimited Base set and that pretty affordable even after 20ish years.
No
is it good? no wait it's bad. i'm not having fun. but wait now it's fun! but just an ok time. lol such a rollercoaster
Right haha and he has always said Celebrations is a good set 😂
It's a very small set and all the hits are reprints. So while opening a couple booster packs is a fun time I do think I've moved on to enjoying the more recent sets
@@Pikachu-ez1rm the UA-cam breaking community is in shock, i've noticed it becoming more and more about the money mainly because i don't think as much money is coming in anymore. I can understand his reaction here lol
@@TwicebakedJake final answer? ok
Trying to talk negatively on the set and the celebration packs are like... Hold my beer 🍺
Hahaha 🤣 🍻
I think sword and shield in general will go down as one of thr best tcg eras. Nothing better than pulling an alt art card that you have or that you've never pulled before. This is the final era of rainbows and rainbows have grown on me big time. The texture of the cards in this era looks great as well. I really enjoyed sword and shield.
To my mind, Sword and Shield continued and perfected what Sun and Moon had set in motion. Alt arts, character gallery cards, rainbows, full arts and a lot of new innovations on top of that. Sun and Moon cards singles may end up appreciating more, since that was the era before the age of mass grading and keeping cards in perfect condition. We’ll just have to wait and see! But no doubt Sword and Shield will go down as a legendarily great era for the pokemon tcg.
@@BT-su1yf yeah, I think sealed sword and shield products will end up doing well over time though. I was able to pull most of the cards I really wanted from sword and shield. So, I pick up a few sealed products here and there to keep in the collection.
I think Celebrations sealed items are going to appreciate very well over the next few years. Most people seemed to like it, fun to open, small set not hard to complete. If you get duplicate pulls you can just trade or sell to get something back. I really like the PC exclusive ETBs. I think they look great on display, and good value inside with the addition of other S&S packs. I really like the gold mew and gold star Umbreon, woulda been awesome if they also added the gold star Espeon. When Generations came, it was like Celebrations. There was tons of product, even some just sitting on shelves because there was so much of it. But now people look back on Generations and say wow what an awesome set. Its pretty darn expensive to grab sealed product of Generations, ETBs were like $700 at one point. I think Celebrations will follow a similar direction but only after 30th anniversary.
Two days ago i got one of the etbs and pulled a Charizard
Watched your interview on PokeRadar’s channel. Loved it! Glad to see such a different perspective from a collector. Can’t wait for more!
Definitely is, 1 of my favorite sets ever made. Still need to buy more while they are cheap. In fact I found 2 V boxes at Walmart a few weeks ago. Seems like you can still find the set if your lucky.
This is one of the best sets since 2020.
indeed. there's plenty of people (me included) who wish they could open and enjoy older sets with those beautiful vintage cards and they never got a chance. I also missed Evolutions, and when I found it it was too expensive too, so Celebrations was certainly wholesome for me and all those people who have always wanted to enjoy opening those vintage cards
That's what I like, enjoying not only the super cards also the common cards as well everything in general. Awesome video bro👍🏽👏🏽
Jake: celebrations is meh
Jake: look at these cards - wow wow wow
My exact thought haha
The duality of collecting
@@TwicebakedJake Equal parts mind and heart!
I haven't opened any of the celebration packs yet hard to find in my small town can't wait to see you open them you're doing such a great job kudos
I actually cracked open one of these PC ETBs for Celebrations last week. I bought it at retail price 2 years ago. From the 13 Celebrations packs inside, I pulled at least 1 hit in the first 12 packs 🤯 insane pull rates. For a total of 13 hits. I really enjoyed the pack opening and product experience. I pulled Umbreon, 2 Blastoise, Donphan, Luxray, plus one or two others from the sub set. Perhaps the PC ETB has the best pull rates?
I agree, excellent pull rates, awesome promo card and some of the best-looking sleeves and deck boxes ever. Wish I bought a ton of PC ETBS.
Very loose definition of "hit" here.
@@maurice2014 how would you define a hot?
Had a god tier Dark sylveon box. Got the mewtwo, charizard, gold mew, Blastoise on release day.
Sick
Congrats on the pulls!
@@omargutierrez1446 You telling me. Was going to get two lance charizard boxes, daughter at the last second decides she wants the sylveon instead.
I wish they made those cards without the pikachu symbol
The symbol has grown on me. I think people will like it when the set starts to age.
Probably one of the most scalpped sets out there.
At this point I'll pay those scalped price to be honest haha
Nice conversation on the PokeRadar podcast
Wow, really really good pulls from this ETB. This is WAY above average I would say.
This set is goated the mass of people just don’t see it yet.
Bingo. Once this set is even slightly scarce for sealed product it's the only set left that has potential to 3-4x in value in recessionary economic times. Not that it's all about money of course, but this set is going to be wildly popular once the cheap stuff runs out due to the anniversary nature and the reprints of all-time great cards.
@@enthused7591 agreed extremely popular. Every person I’ve talked to or heard from (myself included) that has pulled that Charizard from Celebrations is HYPED. Imo will be a card people will seek to pull yeaaaaarsss down the line.
Do you think sealed UPCs will creep up in value further or has the set plateaued?
Celebrations to the moon! Especially the UPC
I was lucky enough to buy some of the 2019 Fall Collectors Chests with Cosmic Eclipse and Unified Minds packs as well as the Armored Mewto promo card and those lunch boxes went from $25 to $230 in 2 years. I think the 25th Anniversary Celebrations collectors chest is the most overlooked product on the entire Pokemon market right now. It's like $44 still and comes with 8 packs total: 6 Celebrations packs, 2 extra packs, loads of 25th anniversary stuff, and 3 holo vintage style promos. I bet that hits $100+ next year.
@@enthused7591
We shall see. I hope you are right
My son pulled 3 charzards from these packs at Christmas…will never forget his excitement.
Celebrations was my introduction to the hobby. Still learning the game too, thanks to the live tcg
This is the set that helped me get back into collecting and I just got my first UPC last week and loved it but I have so many extra cards
The value of the singles long term will probably stay stagnant, but I guarantee that sealed product is going to skyrocket. I definitely love this set, I remember seeing it for the first time when I went into an LGS in my area back in 2021 when I became more invested into the hobby. It was a V Memories collection box (paid way over retail at the time due to the pandemic) and pulled both the Umbreon gold star and Shining Magikarp from it. Won't be trading those anytime soon. I also found a single ETB at my local Target before, it was the last time I ever seen one there, so I regret not keeping it sealed lol.
any sealed product with a base set charizard will skyrocket in time lol
Just saw your podcast with PokeRadar. It was nice to get to know you more as a collector and see your point of view in the Pokemon community.
Caught a shining karp like a week ago, felt pretty good about myself. Lol
I feel like some of those poncho Pikachu boxes you have listed on ebay were the most hyped and popular 😂
Im looking to buy a upc as an investment what do you think about it?
Will it stay steady or go up?
Picked up a couple boxes to re-start my collection after like a 20 year hiatus. Literally, displayed the "big 3" PSA 10 for that reason!
Worth it? Absolutely. For today and years to come
Amazing Rares are the most perplexing situation in all of Pokémon to me haha. The very first of them, from Vivid Voltage are without exaggeration THE best-looking cards ever made in my opinion, short of early Japanese holos. You simply have to see them in person. Rayquaza, Celebi, Jirachi and Raikou in particular are the best-looking cards since Skyridge. Ultra bright textured colors with shiny gold outlines, bursting out of the borders of the background. Unlike anything we've ever seen. It's just crazy because they're so common and easy to pull that they aren't worth much, but I've NEVER seen a video where someone pulls one of those 4 Amazing Rares and does NOT react with a lot of excitement, because even at $4 each, they're realistically a better-looking card than pretty much any Alt Art. If these were as difficult to pull as a Moonbreon, I think we'd be talking about $1,000+ cards and referring to them as the next Gold Star-type card.
Yeah I bought a bunch of those thinking that they would skyrocket ❤
I have all the classic collection cards plus the full arts and promos in a psa 10, going to hold on to them for years to come. Hopefully they will go the same way as generations
Generations was far different it wasn't released again and again and again.
does anyone know if the cosmoem art from this set is an exclusive?
You're the man Jake! Thanks for the vid!
The venasaur is my fav too, I have 5 of them I pulled
The non shiny mew card and the full art pikachu are what I’m watching for significant price increase
I don't know why you are surprised lol. Since you always said celebrations was a good set to open and a good set in general. It seems you forgot that at the beginning of the video haha
Look at generations price..... Celebrations will do almost the same. Im still buying sealed Etb's and i will keep them a lot of years, if people dont sell anymore prices will only go up. And everyone knows that this set right know is good for opening and collecting. A los has been printed but also a lot has been opened
I plan on getting a complete set of the amazing rares at some point in the future. Not for an investment, but because I personally believe the rarity is underrated. The fact that there are only nine makes it perfect for a page in my binder.
One of my all time favorites, even if it's a collection of sets past!
I don’t think Jake doesn’t enjoy the set. I think he forgot how fun it is haha I’ve opened a bunch recently finding it at retail and I also forgot how good the pull rates are. You pretty much get a “hit” every pack.
All of the cards plus the McDonalds promos fit in the Celebrations binder.
I'd take duplicate nice holo hits over non duplicate regular cards any day
Hey TwiceBakedJake, What do you think of Korean Eevee Heroes?
3 most hyped sets during pandemic 1) Evo skies 2) celebrations 3) shining fates. Most people probably don't remember back when SF came out and it was literally nowhere to be found. People were paying ungodly amounts for the ETBs it was so wild
I was running around to different targets with my kids trying to find shining fates. The shinies really made the set fun to open.
STRAIGHT FIRE SET 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The rat that lives in my roof started making a lot of noise when I started watching this video, I feel like it's trying to tell me something...
I think this set still takes you by surprise, even in this video!
Side note, does anyone have a recommendation for a Uk based UA-camr similar to Jake? Someone calm who just discusses things like an adult without shouting and claiming everything is broken. Jakes vids are great, just the prices are off and the availability is different.
PTCGRadio is usually the go to UK guy. If you can get pass his intro
I'm still so disappointed that the one I received for christmas has been opened and re-sealed. I don't have a single Celebrations card, despite my mom paying so much to try to get them for me.
Celebrations was amazing and super fun to collect
Let’s not forget those other packs inside which will also increase the unopened product in good time, remember this will be huge on year 50 on UA-cam people
How is the Umbreon Gold Star only going for 10$? Lowest Price on Cardmarket is 29,99€ for a NM copy :((((( US prices are wild to EU collectors sometimes
Yes. One of the most underrated set of All time
Thanks goodness for the Celebrations Set for credits on PTCG Live.
@twicebakedjake Poke Knowledge cards said he would love to have you on his channel! You should do it man I think you guys would have a lot of fun! Great video by the way!😊
Jake remember this.
I actually enjoyed the Celebrations small set because of guaranteed nice hits. Compare that with PoGo, which is small but the cards are awful.
Yeah POGO is on clearance everywhere now haha. Such an awful set and a missed opportunity.
AWESOME CONTENT AWESOME INFORMATION THE BEST SERIOUSLY.
Can’t understand why the venusaur isn’t worth more. It’s such a dope card to pull. I was stoked when I pulled mine!
well, i guess because it's not that hard to pull. What makes something valuable is its rarity and desirability. If the shiny mew was everywhere, for instance, as cool as it is, its value would be much lower as it would be easy to get it
I pulled like 3 within 2 etbs once
Glad to have 2 master sets
for canadian dollars you would be lucky to get the charizard and mew for under $200 let alone the whole set lol
GEM SET 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
great video!
Celebrations has grown on me. Its decent imo
🎉
Just like them meme stocks hype. Hasnt come back yet
😱👊🤟🤟
Hot take but celebrations is a bland set. Cool looking themed box but 151 looks a lot better imo
This will be affordable forever. The price increase in all modern sets produced since 2020 is just the perfect example of a bubble. Once it pops, the value of those cards will never recover
I disagree with that completely, once the retail market dries up the price will rise. It's literally what has always happened and has continued to happen with modern sets, even horrible sets during the dark ages of the TCG like black and white and XY which has 0 chase cards are worth a small fortune these days. Will celebrations reach those levels? Yeah eventually. Not anytime soon though. But people have been saying the "bubble" that apparently began during covid will burst any day now, haven't seen any sign of that happening so far.
@@OpinionatedChicken59 The bubble will burst in 10 - 20 years when price has gone up and everyone starts taking profit at the same time thinking those cards have become scarce. For those sets produced since 2020, supply won't dry up, it's just that most of them will end up in people's closets. And even if 90% of the sealed products get opened, the remaining 10% will be way more than enough to crash the price. Nearly 20 billion cards printed in just 2 years, the market will not be able to keep acting as if supply and demand don't matter.
@@ryohirosawa9186 20 years is a pretty big bubble O_o And not everyone is selling at the same time, I usually only hold onto something for 2 to 3 years before offloading it for a very decent profit. And even if what you said actually did happen that still wouldn't' destroy the value, you think celebrations will go back to retail value in 20 years?! Ridiculous! As long as you buy at retail price it's pretty much impossible not to make a profit.
@@OpinionatedChicken59
2 - 3 years might be a good duration to hold onto these current modern products I guess. You definitely can make money with current modern products for a foreseeable future, and if you do male money, kudos to you.
And the bubble bursts somewhere between 10 - 20 years or maybe in 5 years, I didn't say it bursts in exactly 20 years. Anyway there is way more supply than we can imagine. Like I said, there are tons of these modern products they just aren't circulating. I do think the value could go down close to retail price if not retail. This bubble will be very big.
At least I don't go to where everyone goes to.
@@ryohirosawa9186 I get what you're saying but realistically what would cause the bubble as you call it to burst, supply exceeding demand? Based on the limited printing run time being around 2 years pretty much at the max for any one set I highly doubt there will be enough supply in even 10 years to meet demand of new and existing collectors. Plus over time cards are lost and damaged, added to permanent collections or squirreled away making them even more rare and valuable. The only other cause would be people losing interest in the hobby, which doesn't seem to be happening any time soon, but could undoubtedly cause value to fall. At any rate as long as you're not stockpiling product to sit on top of like a dragon on a treasure pile for the next 20 years you're good, make as much money as you can NOW, people who think they're gonna make 100k on their chilling riegn booster box in 20 years are fools.
I live in Atlanta Georgia, will it be safe and I’m ordering cards at Pokémon center instead of getting it at Best Buy, target and GameStop and Amazon? Also I am thinking about painting snoring for Pokémon except it will be a Venetian masquerade mask as a artist and artist content creator . Im not sure should I sell it too ti celebrate new cards/cards coming back and the new Pokémon show . 28 years I’m a fan of Pokémon. Will people buy the mask I make that’s Pokémon related and are they safe people. I’m over protective of my art and I’m over protective as a disabled struggling artist . I will be happy if they make the other original Pokémon cards and games from way back sence the first time Pokémon was released that’s around the time I was born sence I’m born the year 1995, January 18th. 6:53

Is Jake married!!??
Engaged!
Celebrations was pretty boring for me. They should have done something more like 151.
Honestly I don't really care about it. I found it really lackluster, especially since it's supposed to 'celebrate' pokemon as a whole
I graded ALL the cards that come in cele packs. If they get 10s I make about $5 profit and ive had it work out where all 4 cards got 10s. That's $20 off one pack and there is multiple packs per box. Sure it's small gains but when u sell a lot of them it adds up
Bruh I remembered seeing the upc at my local target but because of the steep price I passed and bought a vivid voltage etc 😅
Etb
I took a major lost ..on celebration
How though? ETBs in my country are going for $160 now, I only paid $50 for mine when they came out. It's not a huge profit but it's certainly not a loss, I'm not really sure there's nay celebrations product that is worth less now than when it first came out. Unless you spent way too much on them or on cards I don't see how you could possibly come out of it with a loss.
@@OpinionatedChicken59 all the card drop value
@@pokemonzike6130 Oh yeah that's a bummer, that's why I don't do singles the market is too unpredictable. Well except that there is always a drop off period shortly after the initial release hype. You should stick to sealed product, at the very least they're pretty much guaranteed to never lose value.
@@OpinionatedChicken59 just started the hobby and didn't know much ..but yea that a good idea
