I don’t understand how they can hate the secondary market? When you think about it, they literally sell out of all their stock before prices rise above the retail. It’s the secondary markets eventual power that helps Pokemon sell out of its products. So they are a business that sells all of its products for its mark ups 😆 they should be grateful!! You can’t have your cake and eat it. Love you’re videos too mate 👍
They don’t hate secondary market. Pokemon never loses out on a sale. The consumer market is very very small compared to the larger markets of distributors and marketing companies. The reason for not printing old sets as it gets the distributors and marketing companies to buy their cardboard.
I mean what could stop Pokemon from double dipping? They could easily run a secret eBay shop through a different alias and sell older products at secondary market level prices
I love that you’re saying this, thank you. That’s exactly why I flat refuse to buy digital only copies of games. My brother and I have been discussing for awhile if Pokémon would go to a digital only card game, similar to hearthstone. He feels it may be only a matter of time, and I pray that day never arrives.
Look at God's unchained. It's like a mix of hearthstone and magic but players actually own the cards via an nft. There is full transparency on the supply of cards and an open secondary market for players to do what they wish with their cards
I usually only get 1-2 booster boxes of each set to hold for sale later. The worst part is the ones trying to manipulate the market early by buying cases at a time making it harder for the people that not only want to invest but also enjoy collecting and opening packs for sets.
The fact that Pokémon collecting is about the “chase” is such an important idea, it really makes you wonder when they’ll release something like magic did with the 1/1 ring card. I personally hope they don’t, but stuff like that is coming I’m sure? Keep up the great content man! Hope you and anyone who reads this has a great week!
because as explained in this video, they understand the need of the secondary market but they're not so happy about it.. they won't make any more money by creating a 1/1 card - there's no point to it for them
@@drmonstervibes see I actually disagree that this would be an exact reason why the secondary market helps them actually! Imagine how many more packs they sel because of the initial chase to get that 1/1 or 1/10 and yes those cards would be worth more than usual in the secondary market but it would be really interesting to see if magic made more sales off their expansion when they did that off of lord of the rings. My idea could be totally wrong if the sales weren’t any better but at least that’s my thought
Hey Phillips Collectiles 👋 - I fell deep into the hobby in only the last few months due to a UA-cam rabbit hole on the subject. But I have and am still quickly tiring of videos on market fluctuations and "the next big thing". So I really appreciate that you're making videos with more to them. Really well done. I hope you manage to keep it up, and are rewarded, to your satisfaction.
@@Monkeegenesgroup I like Lorcana haven’t dabbled in it though. One Piece TCG is awesome but I never watched the anime growing up so I don’t have such a strong connection with it
I think they only did that to satisfy the demand for this set. They do that from time to time. I don't think they have any intention of destroying the market that essentially creates the hype..
Well, isn't this true for every 'physical-thing-producing' manufacturer? Sure, car factories want to sell you a new car, but they can do nothing about you buying a used one. What is relevant is the fact that you don't own digital stuff, and you're absolutely right that people should realize this and go back to physical products if possible. Nintendo was a good example: Buy cartridges, not a digital licence.
Its a really good video. basically the company whose self aware of the collectible side of their business. I do agree, any company would be mad they arent tapping into that secondary market, but they are making billions already and that secondary is fueling their primary source so don't bite the hand that feeds you! Or you get a company like Fanatics who is now interested in grading. Buy the card from them, grade the card from them (huge conflict) which turns them into the villian and could hurt the company.
Can you make a video explaining if it’s worth getting 1st edition cards over unlimited, I was interested in getting dark espeon and don’t know which one I should get
As of 2023, the Pokémon franchise is estimated to have grossed $150 billion in revenue, making it the highest-grossing entertainment media franchise of all time. Pokémon's revenue comes from a variety of sources, including: In-app purchases: In 2023, Pokémon Go generated over $566 million in revenue from in-app purchases worldwide. The game surpassed $1 billion in revenue for the first time in 2020. Merchandise sales: The franchise generates revenue from merchandise sales. Box office: The franchise generates revenue from box office sales. Home entertainment: The franchise generates revenue from home entertainment.
Please explain how Pokemon can reprint cards like they were originally printed, don't they have to identify the new print date etc. as well as there might be print or packaging differences etc. which would tell us they are reprints?
Doubt it. ES has rotated out of play and they need to reprint English 151 and early SV, like Paldea Evolved. They’d probably reprint later SWSH but I’d bet that’s all done done. Lots of new products and a UPC coming up they are probably busy busy printing.
Yu-Gi-Oh! has run down the market with constant reprints of popular and chase cards thus devaluing older sets and the collectivity of it. Though there's been a few reprints over the years of base set styled cards, Pokemon has the good sense to not over do it too much and too often. This hopefully means that my collection is good to sell at the 50th anniversary of Pokemon!
@@phillips.collectibles it doesn't always protect the value unfortunately! Too many cards just oversaturated the market and rarity of what you have. A sad situation!
This is why I think Pokemon Company will start its own official grading company to dethrone PSA, they are leaving too much money on the table otherwise.
I get the overall point, the Japanese and English Flareon are not exactly the same tho, texturing on the cards are different. I would consider most Japanese Alt Art cards to be the best looking of two languages, not £2000+ difference but it does have some impact. That Flareon was probably a bad example as the English one is easy to obtain but the Japanese card was a limited promo of only 3000 cards. The problem with your point is it can flip on it's head in an instant. For example the recent increase in English alt arts, where Japanese cards were previously more expensive now it's the English cards that demand the premium. So it's not always the challenge of getting a rare card but the card that the collector deems to be the most expensive version and that be affected by so many outside factors.
Imagine a digital world where each card is an nft tracked on a blockchain, where users actually own the digital product, full transparency and an open secondary market.. pokemon could bake in a small transaction fee on the nft giving them profits into perpetuity
@@maze-nc1ut i dont see how them having their own ebay site where others buy and list would be considered manipulating the market lol. does ebay manipulate the market?
This channel is so underrated it’s actually crazy
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
I'm glad you touched upon the digital vs physical media element. I think that is a topic we as consumers need to be more aware of.
Very important to know
Your knowledge is very helpful. Keep it up. I'm excited to see how quickly the channel will grow bro!
I hope so too! Appreciate that my man.

It’s a difficult decision because the convenience factor is so strong!

Great to hear you’re enjoying yourself.
Hey bro, what do you collect other than Pokémon and Dragon Ball?
Will you ever do a video on your PC?
Thanks for another great video 😊
Yugioh and video games as well! Potentially
@@phillips.collectibles with you collecting Dragon Ball, were you ever interested in One Piece? What’re your thoughts on the Lorcana TCG? 😄
@@Monkeegenesgroup I like Lorcana haven’t dabbled in it though. One Piece TCG is awesome but I never watched the anime growing up so I don’t have such a strong connection with it
Great video and great information my friend 😃
Thanks for the visit
Hey man, thanks for addressing one of my previous questions. Much appreciate you
No worries!
So true. I feel like pokemon company japan is starting to destroy the market with the constant 151 reprints..
Only time will tell. Thanks for watching!
I think they only did that to satisfy the demand for this set. They do that from time to time. I don't think they have any intention of destroying the market that essentially creates the hype..

You’re absolutely right. Though physical items such as video games usually have a longer shelf life than TCG.
Thanks for tuning in!
I feel I learned a lot about marketing from this video. Love it.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for stopping by Samer.

That’s wild I didn’t know that! That’s definitely a conflict of interest

No not newer sets. We previously had 1st editions. Not anymore.
Great Video. Great delivery
Much appreciated! Thanks for tuning in Rob
Your welcome my friend keep up the great work 😃🇦🇺
They got 1 more print run of Evolving Skies in them you reckon?
Doubt it. ES has rotated out of play and they need to reprint English 151 and early SV, like Paldea Evolved. They’d probably reprint later SWSH but I’d bet that’s all done done. Lots of new products and a UPC coming up they are probably busy busy printing.

Yeah Yu-Gi-Oh! and Konami really have gone hard. I suppose they have the 1st edition stamps to fall back on for collectors.

This video makes sense the reason why I invest in TCG oppose to other things with pokemon you have a chance to make some $ and more
It’s true! There’s definitely a chance
Imagine a digital world where each card is an nft tracked on a blockchain, where users actually own the digital product, full transparency and an open secondary market.. pokemon could bake in a small transaction fee on the nft giving them profits into perpetuity
That’s a pretty cool thought! Thanks for sharing that
Won't someone think of Pokemon Company losing out on money!!!
I’m sure pokemon could make their own version of ebay if they really wanted to and take a cut of each txn.
In theory, but they would quickly be accused of manipulating the market. That’s why they could never do something like that.

The best informative Pokemon channel on YT, for sure. Thanks Phillip for your effort! 👍🏅

This is just a bunch of blabber and self opinionated opinions. No hard facts whatsoever.
To bad. Capitalism
