the press release said 23 total illustration rare and 11 total special illustration rare so the set is a pretty decent size.. but super pumped for all the amazing arts!.. hoping for gold electric generator please lol
@@DannyPhantump I love this format where you do the slides and talk over them. Effective approach to an informative video. Do you publish these at all? Especially the spreadsheets with the stats on them that you do. That would be a really good resource for the community and could be done via googledrive.
Anyone else notice that anyone whom has become someone in the pokemon space is always very transparent & forthcoming? Thank you for being who you are & doing what you do!
I skipped Shrouded Fable but I have gone almost as heavy on Stellar Crown as I have on Twilight Masquerade. I am $800 plus deep into Twilight Masquerade. I finally pulled the Frog today. I am about $700 into Stellar Crown. I am a firm believer that Surging Sparks will be the best set out of Scarlett and Violet. The Dragon types will shine along with everyone's top 5 Pokémon, Pikachu!
Ordered a case from my LGS for about $105 a booster box (traded a bunch of singles I didn’t want to get the case down from $630 to $550). Tempted to hold on to the case and order 2 more boosters to rip open. I’m not an investor nor do I collect sealed products but I really like how this set is looking and wish I had sealed boosters of all the SWSH sets I liked. I have my fingers crossed that they throw a Flygon SIR into this set.
Really appreciate you addressing the AI art criticism head on. You totally didn't need to but I think it speaks a lot to your character that you addressed it! Always useful info and a positive community here. Appreciate it Danny.
Thanks fam! I really appreciate that. I really felt like it was important, especially with how I inadvertently made some people feel and it definitely wasn’t my intent.
I'm hoping the booster boxes stay plentiful. I'd like to open some for this set. Haven't been too thrilled about the last few sets so just been opening paldea and crown zenith still.
yeah I'm not sure why everyone is frothing tbh. everyone getting rekt on the tough pull rates in TM and SC and are itching to give TPCi more cash? it's a good set but my tits aren't jacked 😂
@@MamoswineBINGhahahahah genuinely. when EVO was announced, everyone was "saving their money for the anniversary set" and how trainer gallery cards got leaked for an upcoming set and that was "where the money was at". now look 🤷
@buffalobill9793 Yeah, it's about 7k. I got a friend with a distributor, so I don't have to pay shipping and taxes. I don't have kids. If 7k is unbelievable to you, that means your super struggling in kamala land. Like most so it's understandable
@@robertromero8094 it's all good man. You don't have kids! That was the key comment right there. That explains it all. I can see some people going in heavy on Evolving Skies or 151. But that's alot of boxes of Surging Sparks no matter how you swing em. You do realize how popular the last set to use S&S as the head letters of its title is right. I guess even if it doesn't hit a homerun as long as you don't open it it's a fairly safe bet to not lose money once we get a year or two down the road. This is what I expect from the hard core sealed guys when Team Rocket makes its next appearance in a few months. Didn't realize Steam Siege errrrrrr I mean Surging Sparks was such a promising set.
People getting carried away with FOMO as usual. Give it a week or two after release and you'll be able to find booster boxes for less than 100 on titkok with the constant coupons.
I know I in gonna have to skip either eeveelution set or Tram Rocket set cause I’m maxing out myself. Hopefully I can sell all my stellar crown to get into one or both by atleast a case
Margins are very thin and a lot of people doing it. But from distribution a lot of bigger places get the boxes at $85-95 depending. So they can sell at $100-110 and still make a tiny profit. Many are forced to do it because the competition is so high it races to the bottom. Many stores are under capitalized as well and need their $$ back as quickly as possible to survive. They need to order certain amounts to keep their distribution allocations up though. They might even sell at a small loss at times
I thought this set was going to be big but it looks average. Fusion strike and cosmic eclipse are the only English sets to have a card count over 300 ( including secret rares ).
Every pokemon "investor" are all saying buy it all, i wonder why they want people to buy it all... Definitely not so demand looks insane and they profit for sure....
No need to apologize for the image on your storefront. Like it’s an ai image no one’s work was copied why would anyone have a major problem with it? Yea you could use a human artist, but the point of your shop isn’t that at all. I think you’re ok Danny
Danny, you shouldn't let the haters bother you. If you want to use AI art on your site then go ahead and do it without apology. If it's so important to them they can go ahead and fork over the cash for a human.
In my opinion you do not need to apologize for the AI art!!! The way you used it was exactly the way it should be used! Using it as a placeholder while real art is being created is perfectly acceptable, anyone getting upset at you using it are the same people you will never be able to please.
I think the reason people were upset was because he didn't mention it was a placeholder, at least as far as I know. I only saw the image in his recent Crown Zenith video.
Placeholder or not is irrelevant, stop hate mongering is the bottom line. AI is fine no matter how somebody decides to use it, and shame on you ALL for judging somebody else's choices
Definitely don’t FOMO, this set reminds me of Vivid Voltage where the hype was built up months prior to release,look where we are now😅 Two sets after Vivid Voltage, we had Evolving Skies….. hold on tight to your wallet fellows!
Vivid voltage has nothing in comparison to this set accept for pikachu. This set has a lot more chase cards and the artwork blows vivid out of the water.
@@joethebert181 It may be true this set has more chase cards, but don’t underestimate TPC, it may just keep feeding off the hype and flood the market with supply.
the press release said 23 total illustration rare and 11 total special illustration rare so the set is a pretty decent size.. but super pumped for all the amazing arts!.. hoping for gold electric generator please lol
There are very few people in any corner of UA-cam that present useful information as well and as frequently as you do. Thank you!
Thanks fam. Really appreciate you!

Fr I subbed right away
This set might become my favourite S&V Set. The artworks in this set are absolutely stunning with tons of Pokémon which I really like
This set is STACKED. I'm buying my first English booster box for it. Might even buy a second one!
This is my first booster set I've bought too
Same

The only dude I trust for honest Pokémon info 👌
Thanks Toshy 💜
Me too
Was saving my money for next year's Rocket set... These cards are looking better than I anticipated...
This might be weird but there's just something about the font on "Sparks" of Surging Sparks that just speaks to me.

Preciate another great one. Whenever i see more surging sparks. I get more and more excited for my BB case to come.😊
very down to earth as usual danny, and honest. Not just throwing out your opinion as the be all end all
The AI art didn't bother me but it's great you have an actual artist working on a new image. Excited to see it.
It’s going to be very hard not to fomo over this set. I can’t wait!!!
Nice to see you jump into the japanese cards and also not bloat your website!
I am extremely excited for Surging sparks!! I can't wait to start collecting it in november 😍
Hyped for this set for sure, plenty of fire! Also bought into my first Phanny break tonight! Can’t wait to see my Heracross art, thanks Danny! 🫡

Thanks fam! I really appreciate that. I really felt like it was important, especially with how I inadvertently made some people feel and it definitely wasn’t my intent.
I really hope the rocket set is a good one with some throwbacks to the original set. It was one of my favorite growing up.
I would LOVE to see a Giovanni’s Mewtwo wearing the suppression armor from the movie!
TR set may be a dedicated gen 1+gen 2 since TR originally is present in both gen. So that set may be hype alot and valuable like 151.
Me tooo
I'm hoping the booster boxes stay plentiful. I'd like to open some for this set. Haven't been too thrilled about the last few sets so just been opening paldea and crown zenith still.
Appreciate the honest content…also, the heads up for leaked cards 🤓 thanks!
Sounds like production is normal levels and it's going be a high demand set. I'm sure they'll reprint in the future to capitalise
yeah I'm not sure why everyone is frothing tbh. everyone getting rekt on the tough pull rates in TM and SC and are itching to give TPCi more cash? it's a good set but my tits aren't jacked 😂
@@TropicalMint808people said this same exact thing when Evolving Skies came out lol only a fool skips sets like these at 90 to 100 a box
@@MamoswineBINGhahahahah genuinely. when EVO was announced, everyone was "saving their money for the anniversary set" and how trainer gallery cards got leaked for an upcoming set and that was "where the money was at". now look 🤷
@@beheIit exactly😂 they think we forget
I pre ordered 8 cases of booster box's, 3 cases of etbs 1 case of sleeves and a handful of 3pack blisters. I'm excited
Bro MIGHT have enough cards 😭
@enhidri160 lmao, I plan to hold for 20 years plus. The way the government has been handling our money, i plan to retire selling a box a month.
Did you leave any for the kids? That's about $7000 if you believe him. Did ya leave any money in the kids piggy banks for Team Rocķet?
@buffalobill9793 Yeah, it's about 7k. I got a friend with a distributor, so I don't have to pay shipping and taxes. I don't have kids. If 7k is unbelievable to you, that means your super struggling in kamala land. Like most so it's understandable

What about the pokemon center trainer boxes
I only ordered 2 cases of booster boxes and one PC etbs.. im saving all the cash for team rocket 🚀
Would love to get my hands on an Archuladon plush, super excited for this next set. Already preorder an ETB!
If any of these sets came out during s&sh they would sit. Everyone who sells pokemon just needs to hype this up to make a sale.
I am most excited about the ETB promo Magenton from this set!
People getting carried away with FOMO as usual. Give it a week or two after release and you'll be able to find booster boxes for less than 100 on titkok with the constant coupons.
You might be getting a little carried away yourself.
I’m really excited with this set 😍😍
These illustration rares are amazing looking
I hope they bumped up the pull rates with all the extra illustration rares in the set.
They better get more allocation for yhis boosted box or its going to pop off. The same amount as stellar just isnt enough for this set.
I know I in gonna have to skip either eeveelution set or Tram Rocket set cause I’m maxing out myself. Hopefully I can sell all my stellar crown to get into one or both by atleast a case
thank you for the updates, youre a blessing!
Surgin sparks looks pretty awesome
I genuinely believe surging sparks is a solid set. Not as great as people were saying it was going to be.
Hey, any idea why Singapore has the English set available on 18 October?
Always great info and entertainment, you da man Dan! 🎉
This set looks good. Hyped
can someone explain to me how prices for an item not even out yet are dropping below retail?? how does anyone make money selling below retail ?!?

@@richardslade9307 boxes sell retail for $50-$60, but these sites are selling surging sparks etb for $35 on pre order.
There are a few people who have openings posted already.
Skarmory looking clean
I need that 151 Sunzard 🔥
We need a set with a SIR Gengar!
Lets goo danny!!!!! New set
Can't wait until this set is released.
That soon already?
hey is the free shipping worldwide? im EU! thanks
What are allocations looking like for the PhannyPacks 2.0?
Lmao I’m waiting for you to come pack them
@@DannyPhantump I will take time off work and fly out there if you really need help. Just lemme know when.
Could it be high demand only? I skipped twilight and fable. Bought 3 stellar crown and 12 surging sparks. I go for art. Maybe I over did it.
I want the Latios and Latias Art rares from surging sparks.
That hydreigon, whoooo boy!
Thanks for the video! I hope I'll be able to find a Booster Box at msrp.
Thanks again Danny.
Spurging Sarks
How many boxes is 71%? Need the figures
Ready for the new japanese set. Pre-ordered 2 boxes on the new site.
You’re the best. Thanks so much for the support!
I’m curious to what pull rates will be like for this set
Feels like a crown zenith type set
I thought this set was going to be big but it looks average. Fusion strike and cosmic eclipse are the only English sets to have a card count over 300 ( including secret rares ).
Pokémon needs to lower ther prices back down to 135/145 area to start selling ther own stockpile.
Great video!
Sweet!!
Great video today Danny!!!😊
Thank you Danny great insights
hey i wanna buy some stuff off the site but every thing is so cheap is this real
Every pokemon "investor" are all saying buy it all, i wonder why they want people to buy it all... Definitely not so demand looks insane and they profit for sure....
Great info Danny!
If i bought a few etb, how long do you think before they increase in value?
Honestly usually it take 2 to 4 years from what I've seen if u want a good profit
Thanks Danny, for another Gem 😺
Great Information
Love u bud. Thanks for the info
All the rhinestones are a tough look
The AI Art never bothered me, it was pretty cool ngl, but cheers to you for just being open and honest.
I pre-ordered 2 booster boxes for 97.99 ea
Why are people upset about the image?
Thanks
Remember all the people who said ! It’s a second vivid voltage ! Surging Sparks is not worth ! Where are you now ?
Why cant I find 151 etb?
Most places are sold out you'll have to get off second hand market
Dannys the best!
So TCG has Surging Sparks for $115 but Pokemon Center is at $160....
You just can't throw around Holy Buckets. This must be serious.
Lol at anyone who cared about the artwork on someone's business website. That takes a special kind of bordem.
You da man
