It is hard to believe, but we are only a year and a half away from the 30th anniversary of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. With all the hype surrounding recent Pokemon Card releases like Surging Sparks, Twilight Masquerade, and Prismatic Evolutions, it is hard to even believe we ever had a time where Pokemon Cards were not highly sought after. While things may slow a little bit with Journey Together, Pokemon Cards are expected to see another surge with the release of the new Team Rocket Pokemon set which is expected to release this May.
Even with all the popularity in front of Pokemon, we did have a couple years after the Pandemic surge where prices seemed to have bottomed. Pokemon Card products sat on store shelves and popular sets like Celebrations actually trended downwards. However, with the sudden resurgence in Pokemon and the hype behind the 30th anniversary, Celebrations Pokemon Cards have skyrocketed in price over the past few months. Is this set still worth buying? Let's talk about it!

if you are here for celebrations related info, u can jump straight to 9:00 mark and not miss a thing
Thanks!
Thank you
Thank you. Left a dislike for this fuck
One interesting thing ... we always want what we can't have. So when the prices are cheaper or low, we don't buy ... and then we panic once it starts to go away... human nature I suppose. Thanks for the video Danny!
I've caught myself thinking this way. I've seen so many cards thinking "wow this is beautiful, what a cool card... Oh but it's only 1,2,3 dollars, I guess I'll get it later" and then later it's 20-30 bucks. And then I really want it 😂
Celebrations is what got me back into the hobby, and I for sure took advantage of that massive reprint of the set haha.
Honestly I think Pokemon planned this. They wanted to clear distribution of old sets that weren’t selling. I think they’ve been printing and holding product and are going to dump it all at once.
That's what they did in 2021. Every set was climbing and then they dumped reprints for a ton of sets out of nowhere. I really hope that's what happens again. Products being somewhat limited and maintaining value is great but this is taking the piss. 😂
I was telling people for years to get your gold star umbreons and shining magikarps. I paid about $15 total for both of my umbreons. Now prices will go back down eventually, it's just that a $20 shiny umbreon is cheaper than a $1500 1 from Prismatic.
There is no umbreon in Prismatic that is worth $1500
It pisses me off that I was able to master every set of s&s and all sets of S&V until I was priced out at surging sparks. Not paying over 200$ a booster box for new sets.
Thats impressive still, I only have 5 or 6 master sets. A lot that I need less then 10 in. Surging sparks ruined the hobby then this new set prismatic evolutions finished it for me. I'm going to just wait and hope it simmers down sooner then previous hype years.
Impressive, did you get all sets by opening alone (and if so, how many booster boxes does that take) or did you trade/buy a good chunk? Trying to master a few sets myself but i’m still not sure how to best go about it
@@KrumovBobbyBest answer: Don’t try to do so on Splurging Sparks or Traumatic Evilutions.
Respect, for me I mastered most sets in Sw&Sh (Vivid Voltage-Crown Zenith (including special sets), but not Battle Styles). For Sc&Vi, I mastered only Pokemon 151. I planned to do a master set for Surging Sparks and Prismatic Evos but we all know it goes!
Pulling a master set is expensive even at MSRP. Unless you are extremely lucky.
how does your hair not bother you.. it bothers me just having to try to look at your hair cover your eyes.
I bought the celebrations Umbreon at the low. Super glad I did 😅 lucky timing for me
Nice! Can't believe it took this long to go up given the popularity of Umbreon and the fact that most people can't afford the actual Gold Star one.
Great content. We got to show Venusaur more love though. When this set came out I wanted the Kanto starters and I pulled the grass type more than anything. Also this was one of the cheapest to find on the secondary market leading to my insane Venusaur collection. Collection goals achieved!
I've always thought Venusaur was the coolest out of the 3 base starter cards. Chunky flower dinosaurs are cool.
I have to disagree about seeing Magikarp come back down in price in a month or 2, I literally feel like Celebrations Magikarp and Umbreon were the most undervalued cards in the entire hobby, no exaggeration. In a time where mid-level alt arts sell for $200-$400 raw, I always felt like it was about 100% inevitable that Shining Magikarp and Gold Star Umbreon in particular would hit the $100 mark in raw form themselves within a year or 2. Too nice of cards not to.
i think they'll come down a little, but the floor will be higher than before. Till the next time when we can do it all again :)
No. Too easy pull rates.
I bought my umbreon gold star celebration last summer for $15 raw then bought the 25th anniversary psa 10 for $100 I’m glad I bought earlier 👌🏿
Yeah I'm just holding off this time around. If the sets come back to the shelves, it'll be awesome. If it doesn't, I guess i'm out of luck because I'm not paying $120-$180 for a current ETB.
If hype continues into the 30th anniversary, the UPC is 1k. There aren't enough out there to keep it at $400.
It's crazy to me that these prices don't seem to line up with the prices of the underlying single cards (there aren't that many high value cards in this set)
Pandemic was very bad. Was lucky to get 2 packs of battle styles. I remember going every day after work to get my 2 packs. Then the flood it was every store and other products so much didn't know what to get first. This lasted a long time can't wait for it to happen again. I will take photos again for the logs.
You’re one of the few people that doesn’t try to sell FOMO to everyone and for that I’ll always support you.
There is a greninja promo
I have 10 of those that I will be grading soonish
Yup I got 10 of them 😅
@jamesw572 same
Fortunate for me. I actually bought a few of these at inflated prices from scalpers when it first came to market. It's finally returned to the price I paid for them. I'll never buy sealed product above msrp again as a result, which has left me with no prismatic evolutions thus far. Hopefully soon...
Can't wait for the 30th anni set
One thing you should have touched on is the packs in the Charizard and Sylveon boxes. There are two variants, one of which has Evolving Skies and Fusion Strike! There are $70 of packs in a $45 box!
Unintentionally got those boxes! Got excited, but not tempted to rip them. I purposely started to collect celebrations and cz for their better pull rates.
started my Pokemon journey when Celebrations came out, I only buy new packs or boxes when they're on sale or I might pre-order a bit now & again. Right now, because not much is available, I'm buying cheap vintage cards or Japanese. Its all good by me! ✌🏼✌🏼💗💗
It’s hard in these moments to be patient, but phannys spot on. We’ve been here before for those of us in it during Covid, and they’re about to print the hell out of cards and it will go back down. My guess is mid-late summer we’ll start to see everything dip. There’s a saying in wall street “it’s takes longer than you think, and happens faster than you can imagine” the dip will come.
We aren’t getting a new set until March, so almost 2 months. I can’t even imagine what people are gonna start spending their money on next. Watch amazing rares or radiants pop off lollll.
So glad I was able to master the complete Celebrations set 💪 all 100 + all 8 promos + all 50 McDonald's 25th 😎 but I do wish I had kept some sealed. But nothing beat kiddo's excitement when she pulled zard from a dark sylveon box 🥰
I got back into the hobby right before the covid boom, I remember how crazy I went spending hours every week for restocks just to get product. I don't want to do that again, I've been preaching not to buy into the fomo as well. I'm honestly feeling a little worried now though, I'd like to be able to open product for the new upcoming and current sets but only time will tell.
U think the umbreon will stay at the price it's at or plummet back down to earth?
Thanks for the great content Danny God bless you and the family!!! Celebrations is such a throwback to when we first got started with Pokémon again!
I appreciate you putting everyone at ease. I thought i’d never get cards for msrp during the rainbow chonkichu era, but not even 4 months later product was sitting at big box retailers!! thanks danny
When you talk about the the large reprint in 2021, it gives us hope for what we can expect to happen this year.
For the dark Charizard and dark Sylveon boxes, are those the early print prices? Because the boxes I found on its later life had four celebrations, one evolving skies and one fusion strike. Those pack prices alone are 60 bucks...
So sad that I never saw those here in the UK. Ah well, my Celebrations stuff has some Chilling in it so that's not too bad. Really weird that they mixed extra packs in with a specialty set.
@monkey39128 It is different isn't it. And it's probably one of two reasons, because there's only four cards a pack, maybe they felt like giving a little more, But then they could have just done like 20 packs in the ETB but then the UPC would have had to been bumped up too lol.
Yup, exactly what I’ve been feeling. If you’ve been collecting for a while the trends seem so similar but on at least a 2x scale. With 30th anniversary next year hopefully Pokemon prints like crazy!
It's a celebration 🎉🎉 I got back into the hobby with Cele it's a special set to me
I couldn’t find any celebrations UPC in the wild at all during that time, market was so crazy.
I pulled 3 umbreon gold stars from celebrations was going to sell 2 of them a while back but decided to keep them cause I thought they were undervalued
I have one of those lances charizard boxes but I have one of the first print ones. That one has an evolving skies booster pack & fusion strike
I have 6 of those Lance's Charizard boxes that I purchased at Walmart a couple of years after Celebrations initially released and they have an Evolving Skies and a Fusion Strike pack along with the 4 Celebrations packs.
I just honestly love this channel. I joined back when evo skies was released. Every set that I wanted to invest in Danny has made videos and the info he gives has really helped me to decide whether I keep or sell. I invested in evo skies and celebrations because of him. For that I thank you!
I came back into the hobby last fall and wanted to open celebrations. It’s kinda pricey in Canada, but I opened one of each product type 😅 managed to pull the og starters, but had to buy the umbreon and magikarp. Managed to grab them just before the price increases.
Super tempted to pick up random boxes of generations and shining legends to open… the radiant collection and mewtube are calling me
yes was here for 2012, and agreed the reprints are on the way and the market will settle and correct itself to an extent
Thanks for the reassurance! I came back in Silver Tempest era so this is all new to me.
IMO Pokemon hasn't factored in rip and ships. Eats a TON of product
Yeah Rudy was saying it'll take them a while to adjust to the new normal. I remember back in the day the only rip and shipper I knew of was Cardconomist. Now they're everywhere!
it is a bit of a vicious cycle when stock is low and popular - it becomes really hard to get - then because it is hard to get every time people do find it they buy it all out in fear they will not find it again - therefore making it harder for everyone to find
celebrations team rocket trainer cards… 📈
I ripped so much Celebrations. I had fun with it. Too bad getting it at retail is no longer a thing.
The metal cards (Charizard and Pikachu) definitely were inflated because of companies stopped grading them for a while, when they started grading them again, the prices dropped
I can't stand the people on TikTok who shout on their sponsored posts that they are selling their product at a huge discount, you get curious, and they are selling etbs for $80 or Japanese boxes for $95 lmao. I always make sure to comment on their live that they are scamming people and a drain on the hobby. When I get banned from their page I can't help but be happy
Because if you know how to look, you can get the same booster boxes for 45.99
It's not a scam if the customer gets what is advertised. It's only a scam if the customer doesn't get what they were expecting or what was being promoted. If you knowingly pay twice as much for a product and the product comes as expected the fact that you willingly paid twice as much for it does not make it a scam.
I think we'll continue to see good things from Celebrations in the future.. cheers Danny!
Everybody says things were crazy back then, but the booster boxes weren't over 200 dollars. Product was printed heavy and easy to find. The cards weren't as expensive as they are now. Sure, a few here and there were a bit harder to find, but not for long, and evolving skies was in store for years. Surging Sparks was never in stock for more than a day.
Really started collecting a month ago and it’s so hard to find stuff for MSRP! I’m gonna try Danny phantoms store 😎
Vivid voltage and battle styles were @ $200 or more for a bit... i was there i bought a vivid voltage bb for $225 shamed to say it but it was real circa 2020
@@brettcollins474 damn, didn’t realize that. I remember my friend was getting me an evolving skies box and it was 170, and was waiting for it to be released
You are basically repeating what other poketubing reporters are doing. Basically you're trying to convince people to be patient and eventually Prismatic will be sitting on the shelves soon.
And like most of those reporting on numbers of 20-21, you believe the same thing will happen in 25.
As someone who was there in 20-21 out in the wild with the crazies, scalpers, flippers, pokaholic rippers, & casuals, this is different.
Pokemon had an infinite amount of materiaks/supplies to print everything into the ground.
In 2024-2025, THEY DO NOT HAVE THAT SAME SUPPLY!
Why do you think none of S&V was heavily reprinted yet? It's bc there is little supply to print what pokemon wants.
Now, this heavy reprint Pokemon promised could be true to an extent. But, I believe they will be forced to take from future sets, which will cause Journey, Team Rocket, and future sets to have less materials/supplies than eas originally calculated.
Meaning, it WILL get worse before it gets better.
Also, u and other pokereporters seem to think the deep pocket investors, new business owners with 50-100k to spend, retail scalpers, flippers, casuals, and those hardvore pack rippers will just shrug and walk away after a while like in 20-21.
Bro, I'm out in the wild every day hitting every Target,Walmart Barnes, etc. I'm meeting and gathering my own personal info.
Every store is lined up with literally every kind of person interested in pokemon. I'm not kidding. U have your kind stay at home mom's literally waiting hours for a cpl Prismatic boxes for their kids AND HUSBAND. Same thing reversed. Husband's getting it for their wives, gf's, kids, etc. Then you got the card addicts who rip everything they buy all out. Then you of course have your resellers, scalpers, investors, & traders. Guys who are sports card addicts buying pokemon to trade for sports card slabs.
Point is, THEY AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! They, and WE all KNOW pokemon can't print this fast enough. It's all being absorbed as quickly as it's put out.
Did u know every Target had a mega 2nd shipment of Prismatic. 50+ ETB'S, 40+ posters, 40+ stickers, & 20+ Binders. EVERY TARGET! I was at 6 of these restocks. Bro, u would think it was Christmas! We all split evenly, but everything was gone before it hit the shelves!
This is why prices are down some. But, this week's stock sucked. Prices will likely go back up some over the weekend.
Point of all this is: Based on the distributors, suppliers, breakers, rip n shippers, flippers, scalpers, and every type of pokemon fans I know, Prismatic Evolutions will NEVER meet the demand. People will buy it up as if they're seeing Team Up, Cosmic Eclipse, & Evolving Skies combined on the shelves.
If you can only hit your local wally, target, Barnes on a sunny Saturday, you won't find any Prismatic on the shelves unless you hit a restock or the staff is limiting to 1 per person. Then u still have to get lucky.
This will not be like 20-21. I'll bet my entire pokemon inventory on that, lol.
Apologies for the long comment.
0:33 if they wanted to make money by inflating prices they had no place in the hobby. Its not gatekeeping to call people out on their bs.
Its honestly a slap to our faces that he condones it.
It's not bs. It isn't illegal. It happens. When demand increased and supply does not it's inevitable but the price must go up. Scalpers or not. Prices go up to decrease demand.
@@buffalobill9793okay, scalper. 🙄
Funny atm alot of etb's are going up, yet I tried to sell some but no one is buying, this include most of the pc etb and it's regular counterpart. Even have ES, HF, 151, CP, celeb and so on 😅. This market is not like anything during covid at all 😅.
Where are you trying to sell? I've found it pretty easy to offload ETB's on eBay lately.
PSA 10 stamped eevee sold for 1800 so 250 a box isn't bad
Shrouded fable is still MSRP I see it in stores so its not too late to be into that and plenty under 200 for BOOSTER BOXES
I got back into the hobby of collecting them around christmas cause my gf got me the charizard statue box i hadnt collected them since i was a kid back in the 90s i got a few ETBs for what were good prices of base scarlet/vio and some other stuff i had liked. It feels like there's nothing to buy at reasonable prices almost anywhere now.
Surging sparks released in November and booster boxes were selling for $200 two weeks after its was released. It’s going to be February and surging sparks booster boxes are $250 now. I know it’s gonna be reprinted but Pokémon seems to taking a sweet time doing that. Why is it taking so long for availability of product to get it back to normal? Specifically on the Pokemon website. If Pokemon center website stays stocked. Then scalpers wouldn’t be around.
What do you think the 30th anniversary set will be called?
I don't know but based on the last two it'll end in -ations. 😂
I still got 3 boxes sealed these was sitting for weeks and weeks
Just wait until 30th anniversary or 35th even… I’ll be selling after one of the two.
I started collect in 2018. I have been fortunate with covid unavaiability to have 2 great lgs that let me get lot of unavaiable set like champions path... Been able to built many master sets since sun moon base... I will not try a masterset with last set, current set and next set... Am I just been kicked from collecting by people that do not open cards? I was use to get retail on more than 200 packs per set but cannot rip anymore. Hopefully, still enjoy your videos. you keep pokemon revelent to me until they print or I swap to sportscards(or GIJoe/WWE) 😆
i have begun to resign myself to imagining what it would be like to open new Pokemon sets at or near MSRP....
Every product still released at msrp.
I just picked up a couple celebrations lances charizard v boxes last month to leave on my sealed collection stand, super happy I did
I think every set starting at surging sparks will get reprinted. Anyways danny wont tell you to buy thing but i will. I think if you buy now the prices will drop a little bit but not down to how they were a few months ago but on the other side i think theyll get even higher because of the 30th anniversary coming up so you might have a small window
Surging Sparks has only been out a month or 2. Be patient
Generations though with it's eeveelutions it's been blowing up
30th anniversary/celebration doesn't make sense, odd number. This was/is the most premium set that ever got released
A really informative video. Thanks Danny ✌
Skip to 9 minutes to actually get to the Celebrations content
still have my 2 celebrations ETB pokemon center exclusives
Sucks that no brick and mortar store besides my local lcs has any pokemon packs, of any set. Can't go to a target, Walmart, nothing. I made my first psa submission at GameStop today with vintage holos from my childhood and some modern pulls, some rando tried to buy em off the employee at the counter when he was labeling the cards! People are wild man.
5-10minutes of mumbling for a longer video lol
It sucks having Tiktok brain 🧠
I loved this set. Wish I get to open some more.
People are starting to pretend shrouded fable is good 😭😭😭
Lol, im remember when start collecting, I’m paying 250 for box darkes ablaze and vivid voltage. Fable is better lol
lol true, I'm not falling for it!
Fable is overhated
@ under*
@@gutsfromberk tf you mean everyone hates it
I bought a lot of Celebrations and ripped it but I kept nearly as much sealed.
Just give it to me straight.. is my celebrations Charizard going to the moon?
Entered hobby late March 2022. Bought a Celebrations ETB for a birthday gift a few months later and paid like $68 for it or something like that and was annoyed at the time. If I only knew.
I don't own a single celebrations card, but they seem cool.
I don't own much either. When Celebrations come out I was buying Evolving Skies as much as possible and only got something other than ES when there wasn't any ES to be had. I have a few sealed etb's and Lance's Charizard boxes in my sealed collection but thats it. I have no regrets. Wasn't a huge fan of Celebrations anyways.
Man this guy rambled for 9 minutes
What!? Jeez, I never got to open much of Celebration because of scalping, so just bought singles.
I have the entire set of celebrations but I'm going to keep it!😊
Pokémon Collecting is fun and has many different ways to collect
Happy I still have few of these cards!
Don’t get me wrong charizard is a beautiful pokemon but I’m glad the hype is dying a lil. They gave us brilliants stars and obsidian flames just to throw a charizard set out there. I didn’t like either of the sets
Thank you as usual awesome information
Danny with that subtle Jab 😂
The floating pikachu head just pisses me off sooo much
I've got used to it. Kind of an acquired taste. 😂 The Japanese logo looks better though.
You think they’ll jump the fck out of this new evee set ??
Ripped so much celebrations got so many fat pikachu cards😂kept a couple sealed etbs too just in case
I'm glad I got 2 master sets
All of us who held one etb of most sets are smiling write now just kept 1 of each
I would do that, but I get massive anxiety just knowing it's there so I open them, lol.
I’ve been doing so since vivid voltage lol
I have bought one of each PCETB but honestly, it’s getting cramped over here and might look into selling it as a whole which no one is doing so these days lol
Danny do a poll. Just see how many people has left the hobby
The problem is for every one that leaves three more join...
Thank you as always Danny
There seems to be a HUGE increase in interest in Pokemon, evidenced by the prices rising. Could it be that the English cards are being targeted by the Japanese and Chinese consumers, due to the investment potential?????
I got back into the hobby in 2021 and I stayed in it. Just getting some ETBS from PC.. wish I had gotten two with prismatic evolutions haha
DO A VIDEO ON CHAMPIONS PATH!!!!!
Celebrations was a fun set
My man please stop overusing the term "buyout" to describe every single upward price movement. Sometimes there is just general demand for a card or the hobby in general. A buyout is only if it looks like a mass quantity sold in a short period of time potentially from one or a few buyers with the intent to relist higher. Price appreciation is not a "buyout"!
There is a big difference this time around, the rise of rips N ships. This proven group is very profitable and here to stay. This group is gobbling up most of the products, even the crappy sets, at outrageous prices. All they do is pass the extra cost to their customers.
I cannot believe how many people pay for someone else to open their pack. Probably because everyone's lonely nowadays.
I have like 20 celebrations packs I’ve been holding onto to open at a later date. Seeming more and more like the time to do so is coming.
Same I'm giving it 1 more year to open a collection box or 2 when 30th anniversary drops
@ that’s my plan too.
Did you just say "loosies"? Hilarious
I just don't see things getting better anytime soon This isn't 2021. Scalpers have a near endless supply of buyers with rip n shippers
In my opinion, the hobby is worse than its ever been from a collector standpoint. Scalpers/flippers using bots to buy everything online instantly. Clearing out stores and then going to facebook to resell for 2, 3x msrp. Ive collected since the beginning, its never been this lame. Im disgusted and jaded.
Try Japanese singles. They're still cheap. It's going to take s while for English to get back to normal, could be a year.
