Your channel is fantastic. Subbed the other day, but I had to say thanks again for the numbers in the video. Being a big analysis guy, this is really helpful for getting into the hobby again after many years.
a month ago i stumbled upon your videos and im very glad i have. your content is genuine and gives great insight on the state of pokemon/ the market as a whole. this channel will have 10s of thousands of subs soon. keep up the great content truly 1 of 1
Price will drop. it always does. People get sick of stuff for a bit. Plus, there are a lot of great sets coming out. People always move on for a bit. Pokemon reprint like crazy.
I’m waiting on the last few cards to come in the mail, and my master set is done. I’ll be selling this in a limited 1st edition Surging Sparks Vault X binder with all promo’s/cosmo foils. Master sets are selling for 2.1-2.4K. I’ll be listing it for 2.5 obo on eBay can’t wait.
Such a great video, thank you. Did ES also perform this same way when it was released? I wasn’t in the hobby back then so idk. Just trying to draw any parallels between the two sets to bolster my confidence. Regardless, I agree that this is a long term winner
loving the vids wondering if you could make a video going over ur tracking of your collection in a google sheet think it would be very helpful. Thanks so much!
I'm curious if choosing to do this math with Latias ex or the Pikachu Hyper Rare would change the end result. My suspicion is that people are more likely to flip and sell the most expensive card in the set. That being said, I think your approach was extremely conservative!
People absolutely want to sell the expensive card, but the only reason those cards are expensive is because there is market demand for them. I think my numbers are likely MASSIVELY conservative. Just trying to illustrate a point.
Great video! No amount of data can make me feel confident enough to invest heavily (key word, “heavily”) into the latest ultra modern set. Because demand is unprecedented I put high probability that TPC will reprint. If/when that happens I hope for a decent retrace to jump in further.
I think prismatic evolutions has messed up there 2025 plans there's only so many printers that can print so many cards. Demands all going to be in prismatic a hell of a lot more than they expected I think and as its a year long release. They cant reprint, print prismatic and print other big sets coming. Reprints will be small if any
Pulled SIR Pikachu should I open another booster that I ordered or hold and sell, there’s a lot of beautiful cards in this set, I think this will still be better than PE that sets artwork is too cluttered for my personal liking; hoping PE will drop surging sparks for first quarter/half of the year till it booms
Finding very few people saying this, but I agree the extreme hype really puts it at a mid, surging has been a very beautiful rise; PE has a lot of greed going into its release very sad few people will not get to enjoy what PE could have brought but way beyond its actual worth a head of time 🫡 @
exactly, the number of cards over 100 bucks in ES is more than double SSP, I still love SSP and have a big position in it though as it could be the second best set after team rocket for the whole era
I think this set would be second best main set even in sword and shield. I think it’s better and deeper then fusion strike and chilling reign. But naw, not even close to evolving skies. That’s one of the best sets ever.
"gonna do some math. going to do some boring stuff"
lets fucking goooo. I'm here for it

Really appreciate the kind words!
Great video! Love this set!
I pulled the Pikachu SIR from an ETB!!!!!!

Very jealous! Certainly a great candidate for a master set. Enjoy!
Excellent take! I appreciate your research.
Don't you find pc ETBs equally good if not better investments based on the stamped promos aftersale pricetags, provided there are etbs in the set?
PC ETBS in SV era are fantastic investments. I'm working on a vid about this now.
Such a great video, thank you. Did ES also perform this same way when it was released? I wasn’t in the hobby back then so idk. Just trying to draw any parallels between the two sets to bolster my confidence. Regardless, I agree that this is a long term winner
Appreciate the video keep it up !! ❤
Thank you! Will do!
Hi! New to collecting. I have two boxes of surging sparks left. Is it worth opening them and hope for a pikachu or should I keep it sealed?
Hi! Depends what your goals are. Opening = gambling that you'll hit something you like/of value.

That's a great idea!

Alolan Exeggutor is now a triple digit card

They haven’t reprinted any SV set yet. At this point no reason to believe they would do heavy reprints at this point.

$500/ Booster Box in 2025? 🤔 I think that’s a little ambitious
I hope it gets a reprint?? But I don't even know that would help the prices on it??
Might not!

PE isn't my cup of tea.

I’m lucky my local shop has a ton of surging sparks and 151
MSRP? Or are they selling for market price?
@ surging sparks is close to market price but the 151 is a little pricey still not nearly as bad as what I’ve seen online tho!
@ I got a surging etb for 55$ yesterday
Surging sparks will outperform evolving skies !
Terrible take but love the positivity 😂
Evolving skies is a way better set than this. Evolving skies has tons of top cards.
exactly, the number of cards over 100 bucks in ES is more than double SSP, I still love SSP and have a big position in it though as it could be the second best set after team rocket for the whole era
Good job capitan Obvious lol. Of course the booster box is $900+ for ES vs $200 for SS right now.

@@dylanrichey8332 did you watch the video! He said surging sparks is better. You fool
