Besides Evolving Skies, Chilling Reign is definitely my #2 go-to set, followed by Fusion, Lost Origin & Astral. Chilling Reign has absolutely stunning artworks. Astral is a dark horse in my opinion. Great video as usual man. 🔥
It’s amazing seeing how times have changed. It’s gonna be super interesting to see how the rest of the sets in scarlet/violet come together to round out the era but it’s also gonna be interesting to see if Pokémon experienced anymore social media influence booms like with Logan paul and what not. They were such catalysts to the spike in the 2020 time frame and now that it seems like there’s a certain level of that hype that’s here to stay, the next time it spikes it’ll truly be amazing to see what heights the hobby reaches to. Keep up the great content man! Happy to see you upload as always!
Got back in like 2 weeks before crown zenith was fortunate enough to research a lot bought all the sun and moon alts before they shot up either pulled or bought all the top alts from each set around the lows for swsh. Just like the stock market buy when things are looking like a bottom is near. Right now finding deals in sve is the move primarily booster boxes.
I remember when fusion strike came out, there was a lot of controversy surrounding the set due to an employee stealing cards from printers in America. There is a photo of hundreds of Gengar VMAX on a table which someone was trying to offload onto a vendor. No one wanted this set when it came out. Now it's considered the 3rd best set of the SWSH era. I picked up a few when it was at 175 a box. Now it's 350 just a few months later. Literally 2x my money in a few months. Timing is everything in investments.
I do wonder if we’re going to see the same pattern with SV sets. Will sets like Paradox Rift rise in value in a similar manner? I’m excited to see how it plays out
SWSH are seen as more valuable because they had less prints. People have seen how many more prints are out now and see no value. Rarity = value. That's the answer to this "phenomemon".
@@robinpkstr yea i feel it really only took me a short amount of time to get a hang of sealed product so could've done that in SWSH instead of now in SV aha
@THECHIMPLIFE I am sorry you missed the ride with ES. There are literally thousands of transactions for all the alt arts from ES. Calling the entire Pokemon community that collects English ES alts stupid is just a troll take. Card markets vary from country to country.

Good choice! Chilling Reign hits different man
Crazy that you can get a PSA 7 base set charizard for $100 less than the raw blaziken vmax.
Wild isn't it
Charizard is over rated. Ditto all the way.❤
If you missed Alts.. Focus on AR's and Sar's .. always spend the least amount to get the most growth from your purchases
Correct!

It’s true. One moment like that and BOOM! It could be iconic.

Congrats on 4k🎉🎉
Thanks for the support!
I think with most people who said sword and shield wouldn’t rise have no patience they want to see product rise overnight
All the sets literally doubled overnight
100%! It was strange so many people were saying that.
Love your videos, Phillip!
Appreciate that!
Nothing but facts i hear here in this video, love this !
Appreciate that!

Perfect scenario for you. Well done!
3rd best to some, 2nd to me for sure
I agree. We are already seeing some changes in price with SV since more people are focusing on those sets since SWSH is out of reach.
Its hard to buy when things have gone up. Its easier to buy at retail!
@@phillips.collectibles agreed. People are forgetting that SV retail is like $160.
I do wonder if we’re going to see the same pattern with SV sets. Will sets like Paradox Rift rise in value in a similar manner? I’m excited to see how it plays out
I do think they will. Though they are very much still in reprint territory!
Time is our best friend, when it comes to Pokémon investing. It's a game of out lasting and out waiting
Patience is the game
People were disappointed to get fusion & chilling lmao facts
Not anymore though!
@@phillips.collectibleslol 😅can’t argue with that but it just goes to show u how things can change over time.
Let’s go another video
Thanks for watching!
I have the Blaziken alternate art in a PSA 10 shall I keep it or sell it 😃
What a card!

Do you think theres more people in the hobby now or during covid?
Now
I assume when you said S&S isn’t really accessible anymore you didn’t mean Crown Zenith in that right?
No, as in the older sets!
Silver tempest is a weird set, it's still available to buy at a reasonable price but I'm still not sure it's a good investment.
Agreed. It will grow but there's only one chase.
Crazy stuff.
Me waiting for a Philips Collectibles’s new video 😢… video came out 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for tuning in. Awesome to hear you love the content!
Man if only I rejoined the hobby earlier :/
When did you come in?
@@phillips.collectibles left after heartgold soulsilver came back 6 months after 151
Same man. I joined this year😅. Last time i was collecting was right when the first ex cards came.
@@robinpkstr yea i feel it really only took me a short amount of time to get a hang of sealed product so could've done that in SWSH instead of now in SV aha
🌱💫
You're a legend Viggo!
why do people think evolving skies is valuable???😂😂😂 LOOK AT EEVEE HEROES
Because Evolving Skies is valuable.💀
@@vincients569 no its not 😂😂😂😂 nothing english are valuable they are reprints of japanese cards 😂😂😂
@@THECHIMPLIFE
So that's why my Raw Umbreon Vmax is worth $900?
@@vincients569 just because you saw someone make a stupid decision doesnt mean you would too right???😂😂😂 common damn sense man

Id never leave the hobby, if you did then crawl back because of dollar you have no passion and should leave!
