The art shares similarities in color, location and with the Wingul around them for sure, and great artworks, just not as clear a continuation like we've seen with some other sets. Great cards though!
I'm looking forward to Paradox Rift, even though I've only opened 20 packs of 151 so far, haha. Instead of 151, I've actually been buying quite a few (for me at least) of the Sam's Club Heavy Hitters boxes. Awesome pack selection for a reasonable price. I know I'm gonna miss S&S when it finally starts drying up on store shelves so I'm scratching that itch as much as I possibly can afford to right now.
Nice, those are great collection boxes. I personally don't have a sam's club membership, and it's pretty far for me to drive, but I would be picking those up too. I've been working on Sword & Shield myself, but more buying singles like Alt Arts that are down, cause I don't think it's gonna last forever. Also finishing Evolving Skies, Lost Origin and Crown Zenith are forefront on my list.
If you know someone with a Sam's plus membership (I'm pretty sure plus is just their standard membership) you can ask them to order it online for you and they can just put in your address for that particular order and have it shipped directly to you. I know it would be an awkward thing for a grown man to ask someone to do (I'm pretty sure I'm older than you) but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for the love of the hobby. Haha! How's that for rationalization. Edit: Shipped free, btw.
Love the channel! $700-800 usd full set of 151? that's such value :(. I'm doing the Japanese master set right now. I'm probably 4k in right now and still missing half the masterballs. Expecting another 1k to finish lol. I'll post a video on this soon. busy crying over my dept.
I feel for you trying to collect Japanese 151, it's crazy expensive, especially with the masterballs! English at 700 is a bargin in comparison. Hopefully the made to order release of Japanese will help bring prices down for you. Mine just shipped Friday.
@@PokemonFamClub thank you for the reply !!! Please make a video of post made to order when you get the Japanese 151 order :) I unfortunately found your mail forwarder tutorial way too late. But I'm ready now for the next made to order item! I really hope prices come down a bit.
Thanks, appreciate you! I just check all my favorite online shops pages, follow their twitter, get on their email list, follow other twitters, etc, and then take the deals I think are actual worth it.
picked up one of everything here in Germany but in English of course. everything comes tomorrow and i got them all for 200 plus shipping of like 15 so good price i think cant wait to rip it all open
im American as well Been here with my German Fiance for almost 3 years now. love it here except the difficulty of collecting english stuff@@PokemonFamClub
Unless they do a huge reprint down the road the prices are only going to go so low. The pull rates are rough but I've had decent luck but still no zard. I have some more packs so I'm hoping for that since that's the one I really don't want to buy.
I assume we'll see a reprint, as I would think Pokemon would want plenty of 151 on the shelf heading into the holiday season, but I agree it will only get so low. I think it could come down to around 630 for the set. Zard is the key and where I might stop ripping packs if I pulled it. Having opened 73 packs now, with only gold mew, bills transfer, squirtle and ivysaur IR's to show for it, I could have bought Zard 3 times instead, plus those cards. 😱
I use Excel too, so I like seeing how others use it. I’ve opened 22 packs so far and have 145 out of 205. About 50% have had a pull, but 6 of those have been the holo energy cards. 🤷♂️ Giovanni’s charisma really is beautiful in person. But that’s the only SIR I’ve pulled. Not sure yet when I’m going to switch to singles. I’m tempted to sell my Pokémon Center Squirtle to fund some more packs. Not sure if it’s worth keeping or not.
Thanks! I have so many holo energies, I don't even count them as hits, but I guess at least it's something, it's just a poor replacement. I am up to 73 packs and no SIR myself. I have Giovanni's only because I bought it, cause the original bad guys are fun, but its tanking and I overpayed. Tough call on the Pokemon Center Squirtle. Looks like it would get you what, $30. I opted out of getting it, cause it wasn't important to me, but I don't know how rare or desired it will be long term. What really matters is what's more important to you, 6 packs 151, a specific $30 card, or that promo?
Comment for the Algo. Those arts are absolutely gorgeous and Egawa is objectively S-tier. He did those gold cards in Crown Zenith. I bought 10 of those mini tins (1 of each) and got a pretty decent hits. 6 Energy ( I count those), 6 IR (2x duplicates), 1 full art , and THE Charizard. The hit distribution is all over the place, though. Zero EX (thank god) but a lot of dud tins. I pulled Erika, Tangela, and a holo energy in one pack. Also how are you getting this price data, some kind of API?
Thanks, appreciate it. Top tier artist for sure! 10 tins and 6 IR's, that's crazy just to get that. Throw in a FA and the Charizard and that's insane!!! Congrats! Price data is just from tcgplayer's price guide: shop.tcgplayer.com/price-guide/pokemon/magic-player-rewards?
I’m not sure what to think on Paradox at this moment. 151 has been keeping me distracted 😂. Like you…I need to see the SIRs. Haven’t seen enough exciting cards yet to tempt me. 😂 I’m definitely not a fan of the “roach” Pokemon. 😂 I’ve only preordered a set of the Paradox etbs at this moment….so we’ll see….😊
We could call him a horseshoe crab, which is cute in singular, but creepy if they take over your basement and house regardless! I can't believe Paradox Rift is coming in 1 month. Haven't pulled a single SIR, I know it should be hard, but 73 packs in now, thought I would have gotten 1. Hope my UPC kills it.
@@PokemonFamClub I wish you good luck on the UPC. 🍀🙂 I didn’t pull my first SIR until around the 65th pack 😂. I’m 150 packs deep…still missing a boatload of cards. 🤯 The good news….I’ve completed 75% of my reverse holos 😂.
Sheesh, I think i'll stay away from them, unless a deal comes up, but I doubt it. I was in a great shop yesterday and even they were charging 15 because of how few of them they got. I'm hopeful we'll see a dip in prices on the more plentiful products, like etbs.
I think there are 376 different 151 cards at current pricing about $1700-1900 CND for all. I need 25 more at $549 Cnd in costs. I was poor poor poor in 1999 and only had 1 pack that I stole from I think blockbuster. This 151 collecting is really fun for a now mid 40s guy with OK money. How many people like me are going for sets or idiots more like me going for maser set. This 151 hits a entire new pokemon collector. Its not just tcg players and kids. This sets prices are going to sky rocket because we wont and dont need to sell off our extra cards... We will just walk into a lcs and trade for credit or just throw them in a box.. Price dip is people trying to get funs back from that premium box release today but a lot are selling fast. I had 20 cards on my watch list and 15 sold in 1 hour.. then I had a new list of 10 and they all sold in a few hours... I have 0 interest in any other set, I know the 151...
It was on that day in 1999 that the events were set in motion for the eventual downfall and destruction of the most important and iconic business of the century, Blockbuster. Do you remember what you pulled and still have the cards? First 4 weeks of a set, the prices can see a lot of movement, like you said, with people ripping and selling dupes or undesired cards to turn around and get what they want and like you said, I imagine a ton of people want a complete set here, not just a couple cards. I expect pokemon to crank out more 151 product for the holiday season and then stop. Once it sells off, 151 has a bright future. Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences and insights!
Thanks for the news! I feel your pain on 151. I want to complete a master set of 151 too…but it’s rough. I love opening packs and chasing the hits…but gets expensive really fast. 😂😂 I’m still waiting on my 2nd wave preorders…let’s see how much more pain I take with 151. 😂😂
Fingers crossed, hope you get some great pulls! I'm still waiting on my zapdos and alakazam boxes from gamenerdz.. looks like they should be here tomorrow.
Glad you like them! I'll show them now and then, just didn't want to come off as doing it every single week, but it is interesting to see the full set price and what ripping packs might do based on the pull rates. Spoiler alert, it never pays to open packs. Well, unless you can rip like 10,000 Evolving Skies packs at $4 a piece, then it might work.
@@PokemonFamClub haha, we pay for the enjo we get from opening them. Tbh I was thinking about not following what's to come in new sets just because seeing cards for the first time as I open a set for the first time is something I truly miss. If only I had that maxmoefoe money where I could consistently buy every set and not worry about the pulls or the prices.. sadly I don't so keeping up with price trends is about the only way I can continue to grow my collection of cards I actually want. Your spreadsheets actually allow me to do this easier, for that I thank you
Not smart. A set with pokemon prototypes after THE pokemon set? Are they dumb? Id rather open 151 boosters until I got my 5th charizard than waste money on two-word named creatures.
Great content! Thanks for sharing the love of collecting!!! Love card collecting with my son!
Thanks for watching! Collecting with your kids is the best!
Toadscruel card is just out of this world. It reminds me Zangarmarsh land from World of Warcraft. I love it.
The swablu and altaria could be a continuations. Swablu grew up with the Wingul and evolved while with them
The art shares similarities in color, location and with the Wingul around them for sure, and great artworks, just not as clear a continuation like we've seen with some other sets. Great cards though!
Staryu and magby have incredible art.
No doubt, it will be a sad day if Pokemon ever stops putting illustration rares in sets, love them!

Damn dude sorry about the bad luck on 151
Just the way the gamble goes, lol!
i opened 1 upc and pulled 2 charizard rare illustrations
Wow, awesome, you killed it, congrats! I could use that kind of luck.
I just opened 4 mini tins and nothing. UPC was ok but I had the best luck with etbs
Sheesh, I think i'll stay away from them, unless a deal comes up, but I doubt it. I was in a great shop yesterday and even they were charging 15 because of how few of them they got. I'm hopeful we'll see a dip in prices on the more plentiful products, like etbs.

@@PokemonFamClub Bought two mini tins at GameStop. Pulled a regular ex Charizard from the four packs. 😂
I opened 200 packs the weekend it released 😂. Only spent 200 after that to finish the master set in one weekend
Another good video. Next to mine, this is my favorite channel
Thanks, appreciate it! Good luck with your channel, I'll check it out!

Cool🙂
🙏 Thanks!
Why are people excited for this? 151 just csme out and already there is another set next month? This is ridiculous.
Not smart.
A set with pokemon prototypes after THE pokemon set? Are they dumb? Id rather open 151 boosters until I got my 5th charizard than waste money on two-word named creatures.
