Agreed with all your points. These are only going up. Got a box of evolving skies with acrylic case for 830 USD shipped 2 weeks ago. Late to snagging up this box but got the grail now.
Fusion Strike booster boxes have finally sold out on PCUK! (or at least saying sold out since 1.30am to now which is 3.23am) lucky enough to put in another order of 6 Sunday afternoon although they’re still stuck on processing so got a feeling I won’t be getting those. Grabbed another 11 boxes on eBay between £150-152 before the UK wakes up and see they’ve sold out. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re £200+ by midnight tonight given they’re peaking at 300 USD on US eBay recent solds.
@@PokePond Surely these are worth it for SwSh sets that are still in stock? I was shocked to find that Fusion Strike and Lost Origin are still in stock. With a compact size and pack cost of only $1 more than MSRP I can't see any reason not to invest in these...
Is it the same artist on all these SIR eeveelutions? There's a "sameness" about all these artworks that make them very uninteresting. There's no variety. It's basically the Pokemon front and center with their signature theme behind them. Glaceon with ice, Sylveon with ribbons, Umbreon at night with the moon, etc. I would imagine the artist(s) are under specific rules for submission from TPCI. The artworks of the eeveelutions from Brilliant Stars and Crown Zenith are significantly better and they're all affordable cards.
@@DB_________ You're doing exactly what the problem is in investing, and it's that you're speculating. We don't even know how the pull rates are going to be. If they're easy to pull and the market gets flooded with them, no one's going to give a shit. I also believe that this level of hype only hurts it in the long term as its going to be impossible to live up to it. Pokemon is smart as hell, though. They're releasing this set in multiple waves throughout 2025 so everyone has the chance to get it. It's going to be readily available at retail, regardless of what lies we're being fed by Poketubers that have maxed out their credit cards in this nonsense. LOL. Good luck moving it, fellas!
@@chiefchimp2789 investing in general is all speculative, you don't know if it goes up or down, you just use best judgement from the market. The fact this is the fastest selling pre order in recent memory, this set is gonna explode. Sounds like you haven't got a clue what you're doing
What is the problem? I don't see one. Usually investing involves some speculating. Nothing wrong with it. You don't have to agree with him but there is nothing wrong with it. Also your wrong. I'm about 99% sure with a whopping 32 Sir's in the set we are likely looking at what will most likely be the hardest pull rates in the S&V block when it comes to pulling specific Sir's. There won't be 2 or 3 per bb. Pokemon is not stupid.
In Pokémon’s biggest bull market in history, you think an eevelution speciality set will tank ? 🤣🤣 respectfully you are clueless. Only time will prove us right.
It’s nice to see your post office isn’t on strike like here in Canada , they like to strike right before the holiday season
Ah thats brutal! Managed to battle my way through a storm to go get it before they closed 😊
Fusion Strike booster boxs have now sold out at UK Pokemon Centre today, and all Crown Zenith.
Thanks for the info! Cant believe fusion took so long!

Ah happy for you. I felt bad buying in at 350USD, it soon changes when you see the price go up 👍

Ha finally the prophesy comes true. 😅 Thanks for the info dude. Nice pickups too!
Great video as always pond!
😎👍
Just picking your brain, but are Build and Battle Stadiums worth looking into for Evolving Skies. Is it worth considering for other SWSh sets?
Not in my opinion. Better off putting the cash into a higher demand product, like sleeved booster / etbs / bbs

No chilling reign??
A good set, but the others are a safer bet for 2025
Hey, what do you think of silver tempest ?
I like silver, I think the lugia will continue to climb in price over time making the box valuable. I hold some sealed ST 👍
No Paldean fates?
Yeah its there, wary of a fat reprint though.
$1999.99 next year ❤
Lets see 😊😅

Mate just accept that the set will rocket in price. You don't have to like it as an investment

@@chiefchimp2789 it's called set identity, we need more of this in pokemon...

the one thing that bothers me, are the rainbow borders
I like them 🔥
@ that's fine, they just look cheap to me
Glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like em.
@@pokemonholographics6635 I'm afraid we are not alone with this opinion
You need to embrace something different broski.
Would suck if the cards were the same every release.
🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
all the cards look like AI made it. i think its going to tank. surging sparks will outdo this by far
Nawww no chance of a tank. Why do you say that?
Go with what you believe then. But I'm pretty sure if you do there will come a day when you regret it.
