Hey beard you used to do some videos of top 20 cards under 20 dollars I was wondering if you’d do a similar video again with the huge price jump in cards across the market. I found loads of cards from those videos that I loved that are now way higher in price and it’s really helped grow my daughter and i’s binder collection. Love your videos :) I know they aren’t easy to make but your work really shows!
Yessss! Those videos were my absolute favorite. Made me fall in love with this channel❤
Check out my new monthly series sleeper Sunday. Kind of the same thing
@@PokeBeardTCG True! I do love sleeper Sunday! I guess I just can’t get enough of your undervalued market videos. Falling Friday, Sleeper Sunday, Top X cards under X dollars, etc. I love that stuff! Love your channel beard and I watch every single video you put out! Best content in the space right now!🤜💥🤛
What tcg page are you on? You still got journey together booster boxes 😮
You had a WIW video mentioning VS as a good collection. I’ve been watching the set on eBay the past few months and prices seem to be on the rise for the holos and I’m curious on your thoughts if it’s modern investors trying to diversify, or if the set holds actual value and is just naturally rising
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I appreciate you answering my question. I was planning to open one of the Journey Together PC ETBs and keep one sealed since I got 2, I definitely think I will just hold on to the second one
Thanks so much for answering my question about the PSA 10 Moonbreon! With that said, I'll probably just hold it.
Love the content, I've been really looking forward to your videos every day. Keep 'em comin.
Hey Tucker, this is my first question! I picked up some Professor Juniper Tournament Collection boxes because they have some good SW&SH booster packs (including Evolving Skies) inside. They are just loose packs inside the deck box inside the box so they're a bit different to a BB or an ETB. Do you think it's worth keeping these sealed as an investment or ripping to just keep the sealed packs as an investment?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Repeat question: I have 20 booster bundles preordered for PRE, if they come as sealed cases should I part with one and put it into team rocket and store the other?
I got you
Most consistent hard working UA-camr.
Things that never fail … taxes and beard making a video on the day he says
@PrismaticRevolutionTBF its kinda hard to know how things like TCG pocket would affect the market.
@PrismaticRevolution I'm not disagreeing with you ( just started following his channel ) just saying the market now seems like a perfect culmination of new collectors from TCG pocket, sports cards investor bros flooding the pokemon space due to falling market, and crypto/ NFT people looking into physical " tokens" for investments. All those things happening simultaneously seems hard to predict.
@PrismaticRevolutionhonestly beard is cool but it's clear he just buys what he wants and calls it an investment. Buying over MSRP and old out of print products are not optimal investments. I also don't know how he would have called a crash when the new game was coming out this year and pocket came out on October. There's too much going it's gonna be crazy until 30th is over in 2027. Definitely gonna have to be on the lookout and be strict. Beard is just buying whatever he feels like.
@PrismaticRevolution it did pull back 30%
What are you talking about !!
I bought most of the best alt arts at this time now I’ve 4x my money. You should listen to Socrates more.
@PrismaticRevolution 😂😂😂 when did I say that? I never once said the market would crash. I literally said the opposite
REPEAT Q: Hi Beard! With the market booming currently, how do you think about where to sell your high value items without taking a hit on fees (and new 2025 lower tax threshold)? Graded cards worth $1k+ vs. $10k+… high value graded vs. high value sealed, etc. Appreciate the content. Keep it up!
I got you
What’s your favorite Pokemon card products that aren’t made officially by the Pokemon company? I find some of the 3rd party packs fun to open from time to time so I figured you might find some joy in them too
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Thoughts on buying the masterball Pokeballs from prismatic? I feel like they’re all floating ~$10 or less (besides the eevees) and think they’ll be worth more in the future (including the eevees) and they’re a safer buy right now than the $300+ SIRs
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey Beard, I know you mainly collect raw and sealed cards, but I’m curious about graded cards. I’ve always heard PSA is King and Beckett is a close second. But I keep seeing T.A.G. Grading online and seems it’s getting more popular. It’s interesting being AI grading and eliminating the variance from humans, PSA for instance known for being inconsistent at times. Should I start grading with T.A.G. Or stick to PSA in your opinion? Thanks for your feedback! Love the channel!
I answered this recently. Tag is growing but psa is easier to get a 10 and much easier to sell
Hello Beard!
Thanks for another great video!
I have a question! I have a Moonbreon in a PSA 10 and I get that it is a grail card but my concern is that the Pokemon Hobby might get too expensive for some and the demand will fall? What is your take on this “challenge” or fear of mine? I see the potential in Moonbreon but it is already very expensive!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Repeat question: What is a good set to start with for swsh? I like the swsh artworks more than scarlet violet, but am not sure exactly what sets are worth it currently.
I got you
We'll see how things play out. The game hasn't changed.
The Lucario VSTAR promo from Crown Zenith is amazing
Not compared to the rest of crown zenith
Hey heard repeat question: just pulled a flareon masterball and sent it to psa to be graded. How do you think the prismatic masterball/ pokeballs will do long term? Thanks!
I got you
Hey Beard. Love the content, keep it up!
Do you think cards from the gym heroes and gym challenge sets will rise in popularity/value as we get closer to release of Journey Together?
I have a PSA 7 Blaine's Charizard (unl.) that I want to sell, but wondering if I should wait a little longer. Thanks!
Yep. I answered this recently
Hi Beard!
As you know, the TCG pocket app is a huge deal. Lot of players. Cards are really gorgeous too.
Do you think lot of players from this game might ( or are already) jumping to collecting real cards and then made the market going high too?
Also, do you think they could make a special set ( like they did for Pokémon Go), from this TCG pocket game ? The real cards of this game would be sick and really create another huge boom.
Thanks!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Truth bombs from the Beard today. Love it. Beards Pedigree is unmatched on UA-cam
Thank you!
Since card prices are skyrocketing, are there any other Pokemon collectibles you’d recommend scooping up? With them adding 3 more Time magazine covers, how do you think the Time Magazine Pokemon covers will do long term?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Bro im not buying anhthing over MSRP for my son. Im not feeding th scalping eventually in a year or 2 it will all come crumbling down. Collectors cant afford to actively pay 2-3x mrsp mark my words
U must not pay attention to pokemon so just stay quiet cause its going to be worth more
@destinyvasquez6849 bro go gaslight other brokies like yourself. I'm a collector not in it for money. I own a buisness to pay my own bills not scalp kids cards
@destinyvasquez6849 broo go gaslight other brokies such as yourself. I'm a collector with my kids. Not in this hobby for money. I own a buissness to pay bills not scalp kids cards and sell them to older spoiled kids. Bless up beard @Pokebeard
@@destinyvasquez6849u stay quiet brokie I'm not in this for money.
Your hilarious brokie sit down. You can't even afford to scalp
Do you know of a reprint for JPN 151? I’m pretty sure pokebeach confirmed there would be one in Dec ‘24 but I didn’t see any. Did I miss it or did it not happen? I want to grab some booster boxes but can’t currently justify the $100+ price tag if there’s a potential reprint in the near future.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I'm waiting for Prismatic Evolutions Pokemon Center ETB to go down but not sure if it will. Would be nice to see a reprint but on the fence to buy a sealed case. What do you think about what Pokemon Center ETB?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I am SO happy you corrected that guy who called it a sunbreon. Firstly, the artist came out and confirmed it's a moon. Secondly, it's black all around the 'sun' - what time of day do you think it is? Lastly, Umbreon has always been associated with the moon, why would they suddenly put a sun into one of their cards? 😭
😂
Mr. Beard!
I have a sealed case of Paradox Rift PC ETBs (roaring moon). I’m trying to sell it to buy some different sealed, but it’s been hard to find a buyer. Am I better off just waiting to sell, I agree with you that Paradox is super underrated.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I like your take on Paradox Rift. I think it's one of the best values out there right now for people who want to rip packs. Tons of great full arts (even excluding the top chases) with value distributed pretty well across the top 20 hits. You can still get booster boxes for $140ish. And if they're excluded from a reprint.. only looking better.
My only complaint is that the ETB promos are kinda lackluster
I agree
Hey beard, obviously modern has been popping off but what are your thoughts on vintage? Do you think those prices are more stable or are overlooked and possibly undervalued?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
*Repeat Question*
Hey Beard, love the vids, recently got my Mewtwo VSTAR GG44 in a PSA10, with the boom of Crown Zenith do you think this card is a long term hold for my collection as well as any other CZ cards? Thanks!
I got you
Idk if I’m too late with the question but I have an opportunity to buy a lot of Battle Partner booster boxes. Is it the right time to buy? 😅thanks for the advice
I like your phat stack of japanese 151...I have a similiar stack myself. Good to see similiar confidence.😊 I have opened up a bit as well. such a fun set. My son opened the gengar masterball first box and we were hooked!
Super fun
Hey beard, if Lilly’s clefairy and these other trainer pokemon came out in like silver tempest, or a trainer gallery set, how expensive do you think they would be? I personally think the clefairy would be about 9 bucks. But as it’s 2025 it’ll likely be over $200.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Next Japanese set will have Cynthia's Garchomp, might have Lucario as well🤞
I got very lucky around Twilight Masquerade's release and pulled the Greninja EX SIR from a loose pack. Got it sent to CGC and came back a 9.5. Do you think that Greninja EX SIR would be good to hold onto for the long haul?
In a 10, yes ,I would sell the 9.5 and buy a psa 10 personally 😊
Crack it and try to get a psa 10
REPEAT QUESTION
Do you see sleeved packs (the complete art set) of particular sets being a move for potential growth. They’re kinda hard to display but they are cool if you get the art set! Thanks!
I got you
Sweet, I have been doing the master sets. That definitely sounds easier lol good show my guy!!
I been looking at Karen’s umbreon also it use to be 1700. I’m thinking of getting a cgc old label 9 trying to get it around 800
Hi Beard, love the content, are you planning to be at the Orlando Collect a con in May? (I know it’s not close to you but I hope you’ll be there)
Given the market is going nuts at the moment, what would you say are your top 5 best value PSA 10 cards to pick up, thanks!
I'm gonna miss that one
Hey Beard!!
You think it’s worth it to keep the upcoming Blooming Waters box sealed or break em open to have the loose 151 boosters? Thanks a lot and keep up the great content!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey Beard and MEW.... I took on my Friends Lorcana Collection because he had to move out of country and could not bring it along. I do NOT play lorcana but i have researched a good amount of it. I have Sealed Booster boxes and Cases from all the sets so far even First Chapter. Was thinking if I should move that Product into Pokemon or should I sit on it. (Or Atleast sit on First Chapter)
Yes move into pokemon for sure
Beard so I have one question and a comment show my question is blister packs are there any that are seriously a good investment I recently bought an ATV from a seller I received a partially damaged he gave me a 20% refund which is awesome when I opened it I actually pulled three of the sets top 10 cards so this just goes to what you say sometimes if you have to open an a TV because it is damaged it might be better than selling it sealed
When do you think the Team Rocket set will start to be available for pre-order?
Right before journey together set release prolly
As a collector/investor, I’ll be passing on journey together and battle partners. Not because I think it’ll flop as a set but because I’m not personally interested in any of the cards.
Same. Gonna be going after older sets. After that, gonna prep for Team Rocket 😭😭😭😭
Same here. Their are a few cards that I like but not enough for me. Articuno and Meowth. Some of the commons are nice too. But team rocket is going to be where it's at.
Same. It’s mid at best. Unless I can preorder for under $120 I’m good.
@@nickk3276 the Clefairy definitely does not have the gravitas of twerkachu, sunbreon, Greninja, paldean zard, bubble mew....yeah pretty much everything else has it best, even the shrouded fable Greninja promo 🤣
Hey Beard, What you think about amazing rares ? I love the celebi, I feel like they are really underrated because of the time they came out.Just bought a whole set for $20 also which one is your favorite amazing rare ?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hello Beard, As an investment do you personally think a collection of PC ETBs of every set would do better. Or a Booster Box of every set? (Factoring in space as well as a “wall” to display to look at )
*wish my beard looked as good as yours! Any tips? 😅
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Repeat Question
Hey beard - I have a bunch of the tyranitar v strikers tins (got for under msrp). Opened some up and they have evo skies. Do you think it would be worth it to sell the loose packs and roll that money into something like an evo skies ETB
I got you
What do you think of the Chinese 151 lunar New Year box? I bought 1 for my wife for New Year and am thinking about buying a couple more for an investment.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey beard still haven’t sold my PE PC ETB ! But would you be open to a collection tour of your room? You have lots of cool stuff that I’m sure has great stories behind it
Soon
I think the people who say journey together won't be a good set, just aren't true pokemon fans 🤷♂️ I like that set more than prismatic 😂
@@Dropzonetest honestly same 😂
What’s your opinion on the exclusive Chinese chase cards? Pikachu Captain alt art, Collect 151 pikachu and the 5th anniversary set.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Thanks for answering my Van Gough Pikachu question, my feelings on the card are the same as yours and it’s up on eBay currently. Hopefully it sells and I can repurpose that value into coming else, Lost Origin Aerodactyl is actually next on my list I think.
Solid choice
Love the channel! Question - What do you think of some of the early S&V regular ETBs like Obsidian Flames and Paldea Evolved as far as buys at their current prices? It seems values are starting to quickly rise above MSRP especially with the promo cards
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I was doing master sets but decided to break them up and sell off the cards I’m not attached to. Keeping one master of crown zenith and one of 151. It just takes so much time and space and like you said, it’s harder to sell a master set as a whole. I enjoy the singles much more. Also, after prismatic I’m going to veer away from opening packs and start to buy singles to build my collection. Thanks for the content you provide. I find your information quite accurate and always look forward to the next video. Keep up the good work and best wishes!!
Smart! You're doing it right
Feel like pokemon missed a big opportunity with battle partners can you imagine if they would of added Steven with his shiny metagross or Iris with her haxorus as SIR’s
I hear you say how the PE PC ETB is the best product for PE. So glad I was able to pick up 2!!! I really want to get a 151 PC ETB to go in my collection but looking at the prices idk if I want to get one or wait.
What do you think is the best product for 151 to invest in (PC ETB? Regular ETB? maybe the UPC?)and what is the best to rip (my guess is Costco MSRP Blooming Waters)?
Appreciate it and great videos.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey Beard! I was lucky enough to get 2 Prismatic PC ETB's. I want to keep one and trade the other for some other sealed product. What do you think would be a good trade? I appreciate you thoughts!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey beard, do you think Pokemon like heatran, rampardos, tyrantrum, torterra, ect will get any IRs or SIRs in the future? It’s odd that Pokemon hasn’t added them considering their popularity.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I have a question. I want a Pikachu ex SIR but dont wanna pay for it. So I want to trade my Surging Sparks booster box for the card. How long will I have to wait for the price to even between the two? Do you think this is a good deal or should I just wait for the market to relax and just buy the card? I payed $178 for my box on release day on ebay.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Best poketuber in the game
I think journey together is going to be a really good set. It’s not going to be the best set in the era, but it’ll definitely be a good set. There’s such a variety of Pokemon and so many things have changed in the set. I’m with you. I really love that celibate card And I hope I’m able to get it in English. If I can’t, I’ll purchase the Japanese copy so I can keep investing.
Totally agree
Repeat: Hey Beard! What's the best way to go about grading? Can you send a bunch of cards at one time? Or is it better to only send a couple? Have a good amount of duplicates that I need something to do with. Appreciate all the help as always!
I got you
Repeat Question
Hey beard, I’ve noticed Japanese singles, slabs and sealed are sometimes harder to sell, when and where would you recommend selling? Thank you!
I got you
Hi Beard, first time commenter, love the videos have been watching almost daily for a few months now! I sold my raw Rayquaza Vmax and raw Japanese bubble mew for $1200 AUD ($800 USD).
I purchased a pair evolving skies ETBs for $500 USD. Was this a good purchase to hold long term or should I have held my Rayquaza? Also what sword and Shield Alt Arts around $300 USD and under are best value based on the current market?
Best wishes to you and your family for 2025.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Love the content. We just started our channel at PokePsota , we just hit the Sam's Club Stock
Thanks @pokebeard you damn awesome
Only SV booster boxes we're missing are Temporal, Obsidian, and Twilight. We have a few extra booster boxes of Paradox we might try to trade locally to fill the gaps if anyone is willing.
Good idea
With Gen 1 getting older, do you see a decline coming within the next 5 years? Should 151 be a forever hold? Or would you sell by then? Thanks Beard!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
One last question: Could you ask Collectr to add Japanese base set booster packs?
I can
@ Appreciate it!
Hey beard! I want to invest in shrouded fable. The set is very undervalued at the Moment. What is the better item? Booster bundle or ETB?
Best wishes from Austria
Ps. No PC ETB's in Austria
Etb
Definitely don’t feel bad for running thru packs and pulling hits instead of buying hits. My precious vibes or flipping/holding for profit which oh by the way is the same gamble
You should feel bad spending a ton ripping packs. People be spending thousands chasing cards and they don't even own a home and could buy the card they're chasing for 1/10th of the price.
QUESTION: How much of a premium would you give a PC ETB case given the centres are limiting ETBs to two? I have one for Prismatic is it in your opinion a Pokebeard 'Goldmine'? Love the videos brother, keep up the content, huge part of my week and really value your opinion. Cheers mate
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey Beard,
I am interested in investing in a PC etb and booster box of each set from the S&V era. My question is, what order would you recommend I buy them in?
Thanks man and I admire your dedication and hard work in the hobby!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey beard, my husband and I wanna get a booster box to open on Valentine’s Day. What set would you recommend that would not break the bank but still provide decent hits?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Sit, sell, trade I have 2 Pokémon center etb of surging sparks
Sit
Hi beard, thank you for your great videos! Sorry in advance for this very long comment but there were so many topics in your video I wanted to talk about.
First, about Journey Together, I think it's a really good set, I love the IR's and these trainer full arts and gold cards have to be some of the best we've gotten in SV era so far! But not for the prices the products are getting sold at right now, neither in Japanese or English... Also, over here in Europe, we don't have a Pokémon Center so we can basically forget about the PC ETB's for a reasonable price and to top it all off, we don't even get the enhanced booster box... at least, I hope the N's Reshiram IR will still be in the set and the box topper will just have an extra stamp...
I don't think it's too farfetched to assume the rest of the main sets for the SV era also will get a box topper in the booster box? Which, in that case, we probably also will not get in Europe...
About Prismatic Evolutions, I am very excited for the PE Super Premium Collection! If it's anything like the Charizard Super Premium Collection, this thing will probably be extremely popular! Can you Imagine a similar box that has the fruit Eevee SIR as a promo, 11 packs of PE and potentially an Eevee statue? I'd say that might be even more hyped than a UPC, what are your thoughts on this, Pokébeard?
Then, about the Lucario! I'm also very surprised Lucario has gotten so few amazing cards. I do have the Mega Lucario (the regular one 2 or 3 times and the secret rare once or twice) and that Promo from Crown Zenith of course, which indeed is pretty underwelming imo, considering Lucario is basically the mascot of this set... such a popular Pokémon deserves way more imo! Popularity wise, I always see it on a similar level as Greninja for some reason, so I would love to see it getting an SIR like the Greninja from Twilight or even better, the Promo from Shrouded Fable, people would go pretty hard for that, I think!
Repeat question: what do you think of the terrestrial festival eevee heart sir will do in the future I pulled 2
I got you
So I’m the guy that has ripped literally every single and graded every slab I own. Never bought or sold a single item. Completed multiple sets over the years finally putting my Paldean Fates master set in a binder last weekend. Never gambled and couldn’t care less about a rush it’s just a hobby like anything else. Just fun to see everything I end up with and have a memory of each card in my binders. I only rip to chase the cards I want not worried about what I spend or the value of the cards themselves. I would think that makes me as much of a collector just like anyone else….
@ZacharyGalloway unless you're rich, you should worry about what you spend. I'm in so many different hobbies and this is the only one i ever hear people say they don't care about money when the hobby is extremely expensive. My point was for the amount you spent opening you could have triple the sets complete buying singles.
@ On the other side this is the only hobby I’ve been in where values played such a huge roll. Grew up racing Motocross with 10k for a bike and hundreds a week to go racing with no chance of getting money back. Bass fishing with 100k for a boat and thousands in fuel and tackle to spend a day on the water with no chance of money back. Even PC gaming spend a lot of money for the experiance it’s all the same to me. Ending up with monetary value at the end is just a bonus.
@@ZacharyGallowayplay magic. A commander deck is like over 200$ if you playing what's popular. Pokemon is cheap compared to magic.
@ I’m very deep into magic. Sealed cases of each commanders and collector boxes each set. Some sets I rip collector boxes like I do Pokemon for fun. Same with One Piece and some Yugioh. Pulled the One Piece Manga God pack a few months ago.
@ZacharyGalloway I feel it super excited about tarkir in a few months final fantasy has my interest too but I honestly cant keep up with magic and just buy singles with a few packs every now and then
Would u focus on prismatic PC etbs or 151 etbs right now? Or have those ships already sailed looking for long term hold at least 4-5 years
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I am struggling to understand how anyone can look at Battle Partners and say it is a weak set. I looked it up with my children and we all liked every card. Of course we had favourites but the set is excellent in my opinion. If it carries over to Journey Together which I assume it will i think it will be a very good set. I felt that Prismatic would be better than anything this year. I reckon I called that wrong.
Brand new people
Hey beard! How do you store your cards? I was looking into a top loader binder and don’t know if that over kill or not.
Check out my link in the description and look at roc Sandy's Binder card prison. Holds both regular cards and top loader cards. Pure top loader binders are super heavy
Question, Hey do you think PC ETBs are the Safest Long term investment as they are very limited and reprints from that certain set doesn’t really affects the PC ETBs value as it’s valued more because off the Stamped Promo? Thanks.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hey Beard - how do we know when pre orders go live on PC ?
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Hello,
I've recently started exploring vintage WOTC Pokémon sets and am considering collecting some holo cards from that era. Do you think it's better to go for higher-grade unlimited PSA slabs or lower-grade 1st edition ones? Thanks! I really enjoy the content you're creating-keep up the great work!
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
Umbreon from Prismatic is an infinitely times prettier card than Umbreon vmax.
hey beard! love the content, we can really tell how much you love collecting pokemon cards from the number of times you say "this is the best..." or "this is my favorite..." (spoiler, you say it a lot lol) Question: I have two Pokemon Center ETBs for Prismatic Evolutions. Is it worth cracking them both open and grading all four promos in the hopes I get 10s on at least the stamped promos, crack one and hope for the best, or just keep them both sealed. Thanks!
A little personal collection update. Finally got all 4 of the vstar universe gold cards in gold label bgs 10. A small collection goal yet i had to get the GOATed gold gards in that gold bgs 10 label
Nice!
Is it worth selling the lugia alt art right now? Or should I hold onto it long term?
Sell everything that doubled imo...unless you can't live without it
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
BEARD!!! I think I found a hidden gem in plain sight…WHY, oh why, is the Umbreon Obsidian Flames Stamped reverse holo promo TANKING?? (-67.73% in the past year per TCGplayer) 😮 is this worth hopping on 5-10 copies? Shouldn’t this go back up?
(And I’m not referencing the GameStop stamped one!)
Great question. This might be in this week's video.
I need a buddy that works at Target! 😂😅😂
I got 2 pc etbs for journey at msrp to keep sealed & a booster box to rip pretty excited for this set
I'll buy a PC ETB from you lol
will Lillie's Clefairy ex - 126/100 dump after a few weeks to a month? It seems too high for the art quality and i think there are better looking cards
It won’t drop substantially
@@december9408 yeah I think it'll stay this way until demand drops. There's too much demand for any card that looks remotely decent. Greninja and Pikachu are great examples. Cards that aren't that great artistically and shouldn't be that high given previous chase data but are. Just a year ago most chases were in the 1-200$ range. This is the new norm I think
Depending the market or the hype, card it will drop. But, nothing changes for a month or more. Then, your best choice is gamble or just go cheaper version of her.
Great question. This might be in this week's video.

Hey Beard, big fan.
First question: what do you think will be the focus for the pokemon 30th anniversary set? I think vintage gen 2 cards like the Neo genesis Lugia or starters would look really cool with a stamp on it. It would also give people who love the card but can’t exactly afford the original a way to add it to their collection.
My second question is about future collaborative sets like PoGo. I know they have already said they don’t plan on mixing TCG Pocket and the real life cards together but I just absolutely love the arts from Pocket and think they would look incredible IRL. Even fan-created cards look amazing and I think it would make for a super popular set. Would love to hear your thoughts. Love the channel and the genuinely helpful info when it comes to navigating this insane market!

best pokemon channel!
Thank you!
The part about people only wanting to pull their cards and not save money was a mindset I had before I bought the Moonbreon. I was new getting back into the hobby and just kept buying sleeved packs from a Pilot when I was on the road for work. Went to a LCS and found it for $330 a few years back and talked them down to $300. Sent it in for grading and it came back a 10. It's tough deciding when to let it go if it keeps climbing or just hold it in the PC. I bought it for the art lol.
New to Pokemon cards and I just purchased an Evolvig Skies bb. Should I keep it closed in wrapping or open it?
Sell it to me for $500
Consider is that you keep it sealed, high chance that it will go up to $2000 in 7 to 12 months. I’m not TCG expert, little more about the market.
This was 1999, you have that first base. That’s rich.
Don't touch it! Keep it sealed please
The name sunbreon is at least better than the eclipseon name ive heard thrown around.
Yet the community is still calling the Raikou and clan the "legendary dogs" when in fact at least 2 are based on big cats
😂
Hey PokeBeard, I have been watching you ever since I started collecting (Obsidian Flames). Since then, I converted from ripping to buying singles thanks to you! My question is: I have two Psa 10 Pikachu with felt hats that I got for $150 a piece, I surely only need one, but I can never bring myself to sell one as they just never stop rising - What is your opinion on when to sell?

Got one for you personal:
What are your top 3 most precious sealed items you would sell last, if you really really had to sell your collection?
Thanks for the content!
