With how long the video is.. would love to see some chapter markers breaking up each of the sets! :) So I can navigate easier and hear your thoughts on the sets I am interested in. Otherwise; like the vid!!
I've been buying temporal forces, I think all of the SIR's are strong and even though their not the original 3 dogs i think it still hits a little bit of the nostalgia to see them in a different form.
Just finished buying my 5th sword and shield etb, ended up getting a giratina and moltres each worth $100, was just gonna start buying gen9 etb's now and this helped lots. Thanks.
You obviously like paldea evolved as you mentioned it for paldean fates & that etb picture possibly in error. Otherwise a great take on the sets so far. Value now is twilight masquerade, potential now for the future is obsidian flames, my favourite up to now is paldea evolved.
Oh yeah my mistake! Had a lot of trouble with my pc while editing and previewing the video. Obsidian flames has potential but I think there’s still better options like paradox or temporal forces. Paldea evolved is the best tho and Deff my fav from the generation haha
@@Brosmasher probably but also it’s super hard to grade in a 10. I’ve talked with lots of people about it and seems most of them have a Knick on the corners… if it’s going up rapidly tho it’d be due to Charizard hype and 151 inflation!
@@Trevor-TCG I wasn’t aware of that issue, but it’s good to know thanks. I didn’t see many 10’s so hopefully more pop up before they go up much higher!
Would you say even more popular than Pokemon celebrations 2021? Thats when I started recollecting since 1999. Lost all my Pokemon cards from my childhood. Celebrations got me back bc it reminded me of the old days. Great vids man!
Just started this week collecting my first pack was Paradox Rift. Idk why but it caught my attention, I use to collect back in 2005! Was born in 96, lost my cards in a water leak and had never touched any since this week! I want to get back into the nostalgia era of collecting while still being up to date with what’s high in value and this video definitely helped clear that up! Awesome video ! I will definitely be investing in paradox Rift and 151 for now! I’m not sure if I should consider Surging Sparks or Paldea Evolved? Any thoughts? 💭
Welcome back to collecting! I had a similar history with the tcg! Born 95 and collected on and off into the diamon and pearl era before stopping. Lost most my cards through moves. Lots of awesome stuff out now! And to answer your question, I think surging sparks and paldea evolved could be great it’s just a matter of price. At this price I probably wouldn’t bother with paldea evolved unless I saw a good deal! And surging sparks, if/when they reprint I’d grab some! think it’s reallly good but I also think every set of 2025 is gonna be amazing! So stay tuned! I’d focus on team rocket set when that hits 100%
I watch all the best channels in the world , both guys from down under, Philip and Oz ,many from under us , from a Saskatchewan close by , thumbs up your doing a great job
The back half of SV is gonna be 🔥🔥. Especially with the next specially set in Terastal Festival with the Tera Eeveelutions right before owner Pokémon and rocket?!?! SHEEESHHHHH!!!
Both are alright. Personally I’d rather Paldea Evolved then Astral Radiance but Astral does have cool cards! If it’s in terms of investing it’s a bit of a toss up between what is better! If you are thinking of opening, Paldea would probably be more fun!
I know which one I would invest in and it's the cheapest and least liked right now. It's also the one that stylistically stands out. That's why it's the one that will be sought after in a few years time.
Your channel is underated, well YOU are underated. If you upload more consistently TOO THE MOON for ya'll I'm right on point with all your takes. I like TF. To me, its the Chilling Reign of SV. Loaded with a lot of hits. Keep it up! Edit. Pikachu SIR im predicting to be our next big chase. Perhaps it dethrones Greninja. Also the Exeggutor SIR art work i think is one of SV best. (SS)
Ay thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it! I’m hoping to get more videos up, I just invested in a new PC so that should speed up my editing process a lot, really hoping to start getting 2 videos a week more constantly! Great comparison with TF being like Chilling Reign, I can agree with that! That Exeggutor SIR is really nice looking, prob the nice sets from a Tera SIR yet! If we get a Pikachu SIR though… that’ll be a smashing hit! I’d love to see it, I miss a good pikachu chase, it was fun ripping vivid voltage when it was fresh and hoping to hit the rainbow VMax!
I’m sorry but Paldean fates is one of the best sets in the scarlet and violet era. It will do better than you think. Way better than Obsidian. Temporal forces is way to slept on. I got 3 booster boxes of paldea evolved for $72.00 usd each.
Not sure about Paldean Fates but you could be right. Time will tell. Temporal Forces though, man that set is super slept on right now. Maybe not the most popular Pokemon but the artworks are some of the best artworks in the whole S&V era. Absolutely love the set. Couldn't agree more on that point.
Paldean fates is good but i have my doubts on where the ceiling will set with long term value. I just don’t see it being worth as much as hidden fates or some other holiday sets like crown zenith. Either way if you can get it cheap, booster bundles and etbs can be smart holds! Great deal on temporal forces that’s incredible cheap idk how you swung a deal like that but good job! I’m gonna try to get a couple boxes for cheap on a Black Friday sale if I find one
Every set from Scarlett n violet will be huge guys... In case you don't know it,these games or this gen,is the 3rd most sold in Pokémon series. This means necessarily that also the sets of this gen will have x 10 price after s decade. Especially the 151.
It seems to me as of now there are going to be restocks but nothing confirmed on a reprint. I’d be surprised if there’s no reprint but nothing is set in stone yet. I know PC restocked mini tins lately. Danny Phantump said in a recent video distributors are trying to clear out booster bundles a bit too.
@@Trevor-TCG BRO went to the same walmart this morning and they had lost origins ETB for 39.99. had to scoop 3 of them 😅. praying they aint weighed lol
@@Trevor-TCG i think my last post got filtered but yeah the same walmart had charizard ex super premium for sale already. it was at the front of the store.
That's fair, I'm just a bit weary of these holiday sets now. all the swsh holiday sets were printed to oblivion and have barely shown value. PAF is deff stronger then most of those but it worries me. still worth grabbing some etbs or booster bundles to keep sealed tho!
That’s true! Also printed a lot less then sv base I’d assume but sv base is waaaay better. Worth picking up regardless but may not have as high of a ceiling in terms of long term value
Keeping stuff sealed will always increase value over time. Opening is fun and you can get valuable hits but its more of a gamble when thinking about getting any sort of return on the money spent
I feel like I may be the only one that think Temporal Forces Pokemon look ridiculous and therefore is a poor investment over time. Paradox Rift is a solid pickup. Twilight Masquerade I would pick up. Surging Sparks if you can land that Pikachu. Everything else is mid in my opinion. 151 is an obvious choice but it’s just so crazy expensive for what you get. I’m a 90s kid so I get it.
I feel this, I’m not a huge fan of anything that temporal forces has to offer. Twilight is a 2 card set IMO but paradox, surging sparks and 151 are great. Paldea evolved is good too but the era has come a long way since. Next year is gonna be where the big cards drop
Right on! I feel like they’ll drop a bit if there’s a reprint before the end of the years but we’ll see! I’d buy more if I can find em for a good price!
I’m gonna buy 118 Obsidian Flames packs in total (via sleeved packs, normal packs, bundles, boxes), I’m going to try to resell it sealed with profit margin. What is your take on this?
I think it’ll work out, the set will go up as 99% do over time. My only concern would be the variety, I’ve learned focusing on booster boxes is smarter. Loose packs can be harder to sell unless you are selling at conventions or something. If you plan to sell all at once when the price is right, then go all in on booster boxes and maybe a couple art sets of sleeved packs to sell as a group
In Canada Ghost Games has the best prices for newer stuff. If in USA I’m not too sure. You can use my code TrevorTCG for 5% off your first order at Hobbiesville.com to get booster boxes too!
The same way Pokemon Company made ETB's better by including promo's they made Holiday sets better by doing Booster Bundles. Hidden Fates Booster Bundles would be awesome if they existed.
Best thing they’ve done! I still feel like you can get the promo boxes cheaper for a lot of these sets Atleast in Canada since they go on clearance at LGS stores but love to collect booster bundles. Having the smaller size is great for storing too!
You can still find it at retail, it seems like there’s been some restocks of collection boxes and mini tins as of late. I saw a mini tin display at Walmart a few days ago
I think it looks to be a good set! Pikachu SIR will be a solid chase. I get vivid voltage vibes tho, maybe an 8/10 from what I’m seeing. I’m debating preordering right now or just holding off for the following set
These days I only buy PC etbs unless I find an amazing deal on regular etbs. They take up too much space so usually I’ll grab 4 pc etbs if it seems like a fire set, if not I’ll grab 1 for the pc or a 2 if I think I’ll wanna sell one
Damn thats lucky of him! I've only ever graded cards through a local game store. Maybe one in your area and help you out if they offer grading services
I mentioned it’s a smart investment 🙂 I think you can’t go wrong. Even with it getting expensive right now, I think it’ll still keep going strong. The best investment of SV era so far
I agree, wasn’t too stoked on it, I feel cause pull rates were tough and the community was trying really hard to find an SV set to pump up we ended up with crazy expensive greninja in a lacklustre set
There a few bangers from every set and I think the fact that eevee, Greninja, infernape are favourites are the fact they’re doing well, honestly prefer shrouded fable for duskull line and cresellia but favourites play a heavy part for many people and twilight has that!
Lechonk IR from Obsidian Flames is hella cheap at the moment. There's no better time to invest in Lechonk
Lechonk goes hard!
Lechonk Is The Best Pokémon !
Where do y'all buy individual cards in mint condition?
LOVE the 151 disclaimer, very obvious so love seeing the focus on everything else!
Haha glad you liked it! Honestly like every video I get a comment “but what about 151” 😂 there’s not much to say other then it’s a winner 🥇

I think a lot of people like temporal forces. It’s Deff a stronger set and especially at this value you’ll see a strong return!

Wow that's awesome! good luck with the Gen9 hunt!
@@Trevor-TCG Thanks! I’ve been constantly looking at 151 etbs to see if I find any cheap ones, wish me luck 😁
Interesting to see everyone’s opinions. Looks like the only thing we all agree on is 151 is top.
Collect what you love and you’ll never go wrong!
Great comment! Deff collection what you love and you’ll always have a valuable collection! Thanks for watching
Where do u recommend buying these from. Specially the twilight ones.
This was awesome thanks, I'm looking into getting into collecting cards and thinking I'll go with an ETB or 2 first
Thanks for watching! Etbs are a great way to start since youll get sleeves for keeping your cards safe and a box to store them in!
You obviously like paldea evolved as you mentioned it for paldean fates & that etb picture possibly in error.
Otherwise a great take on the sets so far.
Value now is twilight masquerade, potential now for the future is obsidian flames, my favourite up to now is paldea evolved.

Need to get me one 🐸
Got one yesterday 🎉
The OBF Charizard psa10 has jumped up a lot recently. probably because the hype of the 151 one.
@@Brosmasher probably but also it’s super hard to grade in a 10. I’ve talked with lots of people about it and seems most of them have a Knick on the corners… if it’s going up rapidly tho it’d be due to Charizard hype and 151 inflation!

TPCI is really tryna drain my bank account!
Personally holding off for the owners pokemon/team rocket set.
I’ve been curbing my Pokémon spending hard waiting for next year. Rocket/owners will go hard for sure and be well worth a long term hold
are these any good Astral Radiance or Paldea Evolved which one should i buy as a beginner who is reentering in this hobby

Twlight masquerade is more like fusion strike than ES. IMO

Congrats to the winner
Stellar crown is being crapped on and I completely disagree. Terapagos is an amazing pokemon.
I think it’s a cool Pokémon I just feel the set is missing something the really make it stand out. I feel like they could have done more
A little return in a year is a loss with inflation
Which is why you need to get the sets that will give you the best returns 💪🏻
Did you say Paldea was at $160?
I may have ment Canadian if I said $160. I recorded a few days ago and prices have actually dipped a bit, just say $135usd on tcgplayer
