E.S. regardless of $10 pack price, is still a rush to get something that's over 10x that, in like so many cards. once packs get to $20/$30 for loose packs, then it'll be different.
I was wrong about ES and I'll admit it, but I also feel like the price bump for the booster boxes is very insular. Yes, the price is going up, but be careful if you think you're going to make a mint one day by selling it, given that potential purchasers are probably like-minded people.
Sorry can you explain the last part to me about the potential purchasers part? Do you mean as in it's not worth buying at this price? (I am not considering it, that's a crazy price) Cheers
@@nightsidegaming8951 Sure. I probably didn't explain my thoughts very clearly. Maybe a blunter way to say it is: a LOT of people are shelling out for these because of the price spikes, thinking one day they'll make a mint off them. But there are a LOT of them being held, it's nothing like vintage booster boxes or even pre-Covid sets. It just seems like there will be as ES bubble and it will burst at some point. Just remember, there are tens-of-thousands of these sealed products, and if (when?) the bubble bursts, prices will drop. But time will tell.
@@larryfrostgiver4933 ahhh yep, cheers for explaining it - yeah I shudder to think how much product is locked up and held atm (not just ES but most of SWSH + 151).
Hello! Can anyone tell me why the price of Evolving Skies has skyrocketed compared to the other sets? What happened in the few months in which the price of the sheets and the Booster box suddenly increased?
i got a first wave print run Evolving Skies booster box from the pokemon center sealed in a glass case wish i bought 2. This set is honestly the best modern set besides team up or 151.
I opened 1 pack and pulled glaceon v alt art and gave it away. Moonbreon is a cool card as all the alts are but people have hyped this set up to where its not worth opening for fun?
I opened 3 ETBs, one booster box and probably 30 loose packs between all of the rest of the product I've opened, and the best I managed were V cards and a secret rare cresselia I already owned and that goes for $6. Set sucks ass.
To be honest as much as the price for BB is out of reach whenever I can get a ES pack for a decent price I am getting it to scratch the itch of never haven’t pulled an alt art myself. Not surprised this set is still so popular
When ES was growing fast I rushed a bought one at around 500 thinking it’ll get to 800 and then I’ll trade it for an XY evolutions box, now idk if I should hold it and wait or sell it at the price it’s at now and pay the difference for XY evolutions? People make it seem like it’ll go down in value so I’m tempted to sell my box but I saw another comment say I may not make a mint in selling it so idk at what percentage people would buy?
Yeah I got insanely lucky I got the umbreon and the rayquaza from 1 bb and 1 etb , this was back when it came out , I didn't buy more tho I know to take my money and run
A grocery store I went into last year had packs of evolving. I wasted over two hundred dollars only pulled a couple of Vs.I still can't stop buying and opening .Had some luck late with the Walmart tins 15$with two evolving in them😂
Bought quite a few of the Divergent Powers tins from Target yesterday when they had the 20% off sale. 5 packs in the tin, 2 Evo Skies, 2 Astral Radiance and 1 Brilliant Stars for $21. Can't beat that price.
Not gonna lie having the complete alt art set of the eeveelutions and the Espeon max from fusion strike is the favorite part of anything in my collection
You don’t want a $700 EvS booster box because you have a $700 EvS booster box. If you didn’t have a EvS booster box, as a collector of Pokemon, you’d probably want one. Arguably the best set ever created…
I opened 80 Packs of evolving and pulled both alt art and other rayquaza. ive debated whether to open my sealed collection for the chance to get the umbreon. this vid has helped me decide not to, lol.
I opened up 2 evolving skies booster boxes one night a few weeks after release trying to work on my master set and both sucked. I don’t think I’ve opened up any booster boxes since then because of how upset I was in the moment with the cost and literally getting nothing decent out of 2 boxes. Now it’s even worse knowing they’d be worth almost $700 each. I still have one that I keep for my sealed collection. I’ve finally completed my master set from buying the singles that I needed, which was basically all of the expensive ones. That set ruined opening booster boxes for me.
Yess it's crazy set I missed out on the chance to buy booster box but I do buy collection box with evolving skies I gotten more lucky I did pull the glaceon vmax alt art I was stupid and sold it that was about 2 years ago but this year I pulled sylveon vmax alt art I got lucky again those are only two I've pulled
I’m disappointed that I missed this set since Eevee and its evolutions are my favorites. I started collecting well after the price started increasing and have never felt that I could justify the cost. Oh well.
This kind of thing takes away from the fun of opening packs. Not really a fan of this at all. I know this opens as sets become old but I am not a fan. I love opening packs. Opening a box that costs $700 plus takes away fun and adds pressure to pull something good
I’m giving an ETB of Evo Skies away when I hit 3K! I’ve opened 1 BB of Evo Skies, in the final 12 packs, in back to back packs Rayquaza Vmax Alt Art Umbreon Vmax Alt Art. Vids on my channel for proofs lol. Rough set though overall.
I can’t wait for card party it will be the first event like that i will be attending and I plan to try and pick up some of these alt arts. So glad I have both umbreons already.
Umbreon Vmax alt art won’t be worth more than $50-$100 in the next couple years. This market is so fabricated. These cards are hard to pull but they are not RARE. The more I see the pop reports for modern and compare them to vintage, the more I realize they are going to tank when this bubble pops and people are going to be very very sad. Pokémon has printed all these sets to death. If you’re smart, you’ll sell your modern and trade for higher grade vintage.
I did terrible on evo booster boxes. Then i moved to sleeved blisters and did great. Also struck out on 3 pack blisters. For me anyway sleeved was king.
All of my best Evolving Skies pulls, including two Moonbreon came from other products including tins and collection boxes. Booster boxes are overrated.
don't open bb right now, it's not worth it.. if you want to open evolving skies packs, then buy other releases that include these packs - don't expect to get anything though;.. I recently opened 80 packs and only managed to find the dragonite v
I said the same until I pulled the Moonbreon a few months ago from a random pack at Walgreens...now I'm debating biting the bullet on the Rayquaza and working my way down the list 💀
@@VxncyCramorant If you want the Ray, why not just buy it (atleast it would be garanteed unlike with the booster where there is a high chance you lose a lot of money)
There's a sufficient amount of data to show that there certainly is a numbers game. You get so many v, vmax, regular holos and so on in a box. It's not about being printed in order, it's about the odds given per booster box. There's always a pattern.
I dont know why people shit so much on Evolving Sies pull rates. I've opened 10 boxes so far and pulled 7 alt arts out of them. It's just ridiculous to hear "you'll get 1 AA out of every 5 boxes" for me....
Love your videos and I know you’re always looking for advice on how to improve. I find that it’s usually minutes into your videos until we learn something. You basically said nothing until like 4 minutes here. X
How bout flashfire , evolutions, or team up ? Buy what you want the box will be in the 1000s plus . Same guy that was screaming reprints a few months back 😂
Evolving skies is fun though it’ll go down as one of the best sword n shield in this era specially the moonbreon people still talking about it no doubt
Evolving Skies is like the ex you keep going back to even though you know it's bad news
lol!
😆
Spot on 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂💀
Wow 3 alternate arts in 1 box that would be the dream.
Happened to me on release! Moonbreon, Sylveon Vmax and Sylveon V. Never have had a box that good since
@@camvalencedaaamn! i got 2; umbreon v & leafeon v! but 3! that’s so cool!
3 in 2 cases would be good lol

Hello! Can anyone tell me why the price of Evolving Skies has skyrocketed compared to the other sets? What happened in the few months in which the price of the sheets and the Booster box suddenly increased?
you obviously put a lot of effort in these videos. Thank you for this, I and many others really appreciate this quality!!
i got a first wave print run Evolving Skies booster box from the pokemon center sealed in a glass case wish i bought 2. This set is honestly the best modern set besides team up or 151.
I opened 1 pack and pulled glaceon v alt art and gave it away. Moonbreon is a cool card as all the alts are but people have hyped this set up to where its not worth opening for fun?
Do you share these sheets somewhere?
What’s the fun cost for the first generation base set🙃
Just discovered your channel lately. I love the username so much and the vids are great too!
I'm a simple man, I see Evolving Skies, I click
Brutal set to open. My buddy opened 6 or 7 ETBs and never got a single hit over a couple bucks.
I opened 3 ETBs, one booster box and probably 30 loose packs between all of the rest of the product I've opened, and the best I managed were V cards and a secret rare cresselia I already owned and that goes for $6. Set sucks ass.
That’s what I’m afraid of.
To be honest as much as the price for BB is out of reach whenever I can get a ES pack for a decent price I am getting it to scratch the itch of never haven’t pulled an alt art myself. Not surprised this set is still so popular
Dang, can't believe you pulled two Moonbreons!!!
looks like I'm keeping my evolving skies booster box case sealed lol.
When ES was growing fast I rushed a bought one at around 500 thinking it’ll get to 800 and then I’ll trade it for an XY evolutions box, now idk if I should hold it and wait or sell it at the price it’s at now and pay the difference for XY evolutions? People make it seem like it’ll go down in value so I’m tempted to sell my box but I saw another comment say I may not make a mint in selling it so idk at what percentage people would buy?
I've opened around 100 evolving skies and pulled almost nothing. I wish I could resist opening them but I'm an addict
Just play powerball man
Yeah I got insanely lucky I got the umbreon and the rayquaza from 1 bb and 1 etb , this was back when it came out , I didn't buy more tho I know to take my money and run
A grocery store I went into last year had packs of evolving. I wasted over two hundred dollars only pulled a couple of Vs.I still can't stop buying and opening .Had some luck late with the Walmart tins 15$with two evolving in them😂
UPDATE: Leafeon $194 and change umbreon $700.& change 🙃
pain
I have around 60 sealed packs of these hidden away, I can't wait to come home and find out my kids found them. I with have so many Appletuns!
So what do you think a true cost for the Master Set should be???
Well, according to pokedata's site, the cost today (4/12/24) for the entire set is exactly 2,760.35.
This is craziness. I never got into this set because of how difficult and expensive it was to pull hits.
Bought quite a few of the Divergent Powers tins from Target yesterday when they had the 20% off sale. 5 packs in the tin, 2 Evo Skies, 2 Astral Radiance and 1 Brilliant Stars for $21. Can't beat that price.
That’s winning right there!
Thanks for reminding us, sometimes i am just tempted to try my luck and then i keep thinking how painful it would be if nothing comes out of it
Not gonna lie having the complete alt art set of the eeveelutions and the Espeon max from fusion strike is the favorite part of anything in my collection
I was going to open up one of my Umbreon 3 pack blisters but when I saw it's now over 50 dollars, I changed my mind. What is happening here??
Right! Its crazy!
EVO is an amazing set!
You don’t want a $700 EvS booster box because you have a $700 EvS booster box. If you didn’t have a EvS booster box, as a collector of Pokemon, you’d probably want one. Arguably the best set ever created…
My son and I have not opened Evolving Skies before, but we have our first 3 packs on the way. Can’t wait!
I opened 80 Packs of evolving and pulled both alt art and other rayquaza. ive debated whether to open my sealed collection for the chance to get the umbreon. this vid has helped me decide not to, lol.

The weeping set lol
1:49 "it's NOT FUN to open"
2:32 "Evolving Skies is A TON OF FUN to open"
Hmmmmmmm...which one should I believe?.......
Lmao it’s fun to open, but not fun to open at these prices.
I ripped about 100 packs of Evolving Sighs. Best thing i received was an alt Leafeon lol needless to say i am not ripping anymore packs!
It was fun the one time I opened it! one pack and I got the rainbow rayquaza.
That’s how you retire on a high note!
@@DannyPhantump Actually, I think it's the only rainbow I've ever pulled. I can't even remember how I ended up with the pack of Evolving Skies.
was still trying to complete chilling reign so never got around to opening any evolving skies, did open a few boxes of eevee heroes though
The only card I still need from evolving skies is the rayquaza vmax alt art. Glad I bought the umbreon v when it was $85ish.
I’m so happy I got a full master set when this was still pretty cheap
So frustrating that out of all the sets they reprinted, this is the one that was the least printed
Evolving Skies is absolutely insane!!! xD
This kind of thing takes away from the fun of opening packs. Not really a fan of this at all. I know this opens as sets become old but I am not a fan. I love opening packs. Opening a box that costs $700 plus takes away fun and adds pressure to pull something good
Evolving Cries because I’ve only pulled normal v Umbreons and Leafeons from hard-to-find pokeball tins. 😂
I’m giving an ETB of Evo Skies away when I hit 3K! I’ve opened 1 BB of Evo Skies, in the final 12 packs, in back to back packs Rayquaza Vmax Alt Art Umbreon Vmax Alt Art. Vids on my channel for proofs lol. Rough set though overall.
You can double your amount of packs bought for evolving skies than buying a booster box. It's kind of insane to me
Worst ES box i ever opened only got me an FA Dracozolt as the best hit.
$15k is a little high for Base Set Unlimited. I just purchased one for $13.5k
The other evelutions alt arts will follow Umbreon V alt just a matter of time.
I can’t wait for card party it will be the first event like that i will be attending and I plan to try and pick up some of these alt arts. So glad I have both umbreons already.
That Duraludon VMAX alt art - is it just because there are that many more copies? I don't get it.
Duraludon, in general, is not a popular pokemon to collect
Maaaan evolving skies is crazy tough!! The sealed collections speak to me constantly, "riiiiip meeeee"
It's going to be 1000 dollars before the year is out.
It has been a bit. Love the new intro! Thanks for the vids:)
Umbreon Vmax alt art won’t be worth more than $50-$100 in the next couple years. This market is so fabricated. These cards are hard to pull but they are not RARE. The more I see the pop reports for modern and compare them to vintage, the more I realize they are going to tank when this bubble pops and people are going to be very very sad.

I did terrible on evo booster boxes. Then i moved to sleeved blisters and did great. Also struck out on 3 pack blisters. For me anyway sleeved was king.
That’s awesome. I don’t think I’ve ripped many sleeved boosters at all so that’s really interesting!
Man was I lucky today, I decided to buy three evolving skies packs and pulled umbreon v alternate art on the first one!
Loving the intro, Danny!
I bought about 50 packs of evolving skies singles over time and never got a damn hit!!! It's a joke! Thats why I buy singles now off ebay.
I am at approximately 3200 packs and still never pulled 3 of the vmax alts
Thanks for yet another very informative video. Been really debating tearing into some of my es. But ya not now 😂
I bought a bunch of etbs. I should leave them sealed, I don’t have much chance with my 100 packs vs the 2000 you opened.
This makes me NOT want to rip the 30 packs I’ve collected from various tins and pokeballs. 😳
All of my best Evolving Skies pulls, including two Moonbreon came from other products including tins and collection boxes. Booster boxes are overrated.
Never ever open!!
If nobody opened Evo S then there would be little to no market for resale
Glad I mastered evo skies around release because now it’s ridiculous price makes it not worth it.
I was the whole video wanting you to say: “Oh, let’s just open the booster box” 😅
I’m working on getting lose packs from tins and boxes. I’ll sell them in about 10-15 years😅
Modern box for almost 7x msrp wild to me but we all know why$$$
Danny - have you ever done this analysis for XY Evolutions ?
I just want my local pokemon vending machines to have them. Base price. I want to rip, but I will NOT spend 10 dollars or more per pack.
I opened 4 booster boxes of ES and got zero alternative arts.
Evolving Skies...is just such a painful set to think about. Thanks as always for all that you do!
Ive pulled the alt art vmax leaf and moonbreoon i maby opened 100 packs total
Forever happy with my psa 10 moonbreon!!
don't open bb right now, it's not worth it.. if you want to open evolving skies packs, then buy other releases that include these packs - don't expect to get anything though;.. I recently opened 80 packs and only managed to find the dragonite v
Buddy forgot Duraludon
I have the worst luck when opening‼️😂😤
Great video so far I wish I could keep stuff sealed, trying for years much love and respect
Evolving Skies I'd definitely one of the sets I'm not going to even try mastering 😅
Just buy singles
I said the same until I pulled the Moonbreon a few months ago from a random pack at Walgreens...now I'm debating biting the bullet on the Rayquaza and working my way down the list 💀
@SaberkiddASMR I think I'd do that only if somehow by some miraculous way I pulled a moonbreon like @vxncycramorant first haha 😄
i think imonly missing 24 cards for a master set and half of that is reverse holo, i have the expensive hits already
@@VxncyCramorant If you want the Ray, why not just buy it (atleast it would be garanteed unlike with the booster where there is a high chance you lose a lot of money)
The more danny p talks about evolving skies the more it goes up
I love how people try to do math on these booster boxes like they are printed in order. It's all luck. There's no percentage on what your gonna get.
There's a sufficient amount of data to show that there certainly is a numbers game. You get so many v, vmax, regular holos and so on in a box. It's not about being printed in order, it's about the odds given per booster box. There's always a pattern.
So many awesome alt arts but so hard to pull 😮😮
Every time I’m tempted to open up my ES loose packs… I remind myself I’ll pull absolutely nothing😊
I wish I got back into Pokémon when evolving skies first released. Would have loved to open some packs 😢
Petition to change the name to "Not so fun cost" for evo cries
The set that you open lots of packs know you get nothing but wish you got an alt art not fond memories I ended up buying my moonbreon online
Opened Astral Radiance booster box, 7 hits, best card was a regular V, bruh
Love these videos man keep it up!
When I saw the title, I was really worried you succumbed to temptation and opened another
Lmao not yet…but you never know what the future holds!
I happily didn’t push for this set. 😂
Thanks for the knowledge Danny!
I dont know why people shit so much on Evolving Sies pull rates. I've opened 10 boxes so far and pulled 7 alt arts out of them. It's just ridiculous to hear "you'll get 1 AA out of every 5 boxes" for me....
open up a booster box weigh the packs take the heavys out, then sell loose packs. you get more value out of the box. simple.
Love your videos and I know you’re always looking for advice on how to improve. I find that it’s usually minutes into your videos until we learn something. You basically said nothing until like 4 minutes here. X

Holy buckets!
Got raked by ES on chris Pi last night. Kept me from ripping mine.
