I never thought a Sword and Shield set with 20+ alternate arts would end up less hyped than an SV set, but here we are. CZ is truly a unicorn set where you can open a box and almost always expect to at least get something fun while also having that ceiling chase (The golds). Much more fun set to open than Prismatic.
all the cards in CZ are way easier to pull than any main set SWSH alt art. It was also printed into oblivion. Stopped getting exciting the more of it there was out there.
@ahmadayoub94 not all of the gg cards. I personally opened over 300 packs and I still had to buy over half of the GG singles to complete my master set. Only pulled 1 gold card too. They had 70 ggs, so the odds of you getting the one you want even with generous pull rates was tough.
Another reason crown zenith is going to be such a good long hold is because people are tempted to open it because of how fun it is to open. That means more and more product will keep getting ripped, meaning less sealed over time.
The sea and sky boxes have been sold out for several weeks, It has occasionally shown back up but very small amounts. I think you just got lucky that the 'add to cart' showed up, if you tried to checkout you would have seen it was out of stock.
@@jasone42683 yeah, I don't think they were actually in stock when he saw the add to cart. Sometimes it will wait till you checkout and tell you then that it's out of stock. They have shown up a few times throughout the last few weeks to ship, but there's less then 20, and with limit of 2 per order, people are lucky to get 2.
@@jasone42683what are you talking about bro 😂 i mean wth are you trying to say, obviously they stood a chance if they were there from like April. I've known about it for months and I don't even live in the us and don't have that product here 😂😂😂
Crown zenith is the best set of all time to open for sure. Massive alt art selection of beautiful art and a hit on pretty much every pack opened. How is that not the apex of Pokémon card opening experiences! I made sure I bought a lot of it so I can continue to open during the years as I truly believe it’ll never be as good as that again.. plus every crappy set I open with tough pull rates I throw in a couple CZ and that balances the disappointment lol
The irony is that when crown zenith came out people complained the pull rates were too easy and there was too much stock available (cos they couldn't resell the cards)
At this point in time Crown Zenith is the greatest modern set. It holds a special place in my heart along with Base Set, Holon Phantoms, and Call of Legends as a set that got me into the hobby again. I was blown away by the pull rates and the artwork and I haven’t left since.
This is just proof that 151 and Prismatic will just keep pushing with the same prices. Crown was printed to the ground, and it looks like Prismatic and 151 might go the same route, but the only difference is that when Crown came out there's wasn't the amount of demand we have seen from recent sets.
I agree and hot take: it's even better than Evolving cries hit for hit and art for art. As an investment it's undeniable, but that hasn't been close for about a year 😂
Putting a pause on my collecting with the availability/prices being what they are (gonna give it around 8 months), but I was able to open 25 packs of prismatic as one last hurrah before putting it on pause. It went very well, so I did have fun opening it - but I gotta agree, Crown Zenith felt a lot better with all the Galarian Gallery hits!
Share the hits man! I'm trying to get myself to open at least some I have laying around but I'm just so disheartened with the pull rates so maybe it helps 😂
@@Ivan2Jura Haha - sure - One demi-god pack with Leafeon, Ceruledge, and Sandy Shocks. One other SIR hit (Flareon). 3 Masterballs (Houndoom, Noibat, Hoothoot). 1 Full Art (Raifort). 5 ex's, 1 ace spec, 10 poke balls (2 dupes) - so 24 hits in 25 packs if you count poke balls :O
With the number of SIRs they announced for Prismatic, I honestly thought it was gonna be a CZ or back half of any Trainer Gallery kinda pull rate situation. The joke's on me, haha. Prismatic is BRUTAL. I can't stress this enough to anyone stumbling upon this comment. Don't buy from scalpers. You're gonna have a bad time.
@@ErianFOh my goodness, man. Sorry to hear. I think you'll have plenty of more chances to rip this set at MSRP. Chin up, man. This set has no lube fisted everyone who touched it in one way or another. Appreciate the reply!
I desperately hope that there will be more Crown Zenith at Sam's club. I was there today I couldn't find any. I want to finish my master said and I actually want to feel like I can open something that's worth opening. I'm just really frustrated that I got into this as late as I did because if I got into it a couple months earlier I would have been able to get a bunch of these boxes
I think pokemon is about to have a huge failure. They’re going to be printing prismatic to the moon and people are just going to stop opening it because of pull rates, so in 2 months you’ll see it flooding the shelves and it’ll be worthless imo
Crown Zenith has been the best set I've pulled from. Pulled 3 Mewtwo Vstars, Giratina, Dialga, entei, 2 suicunes, and 6 sercret rare pikachus. What a set
I keep looking for crown products especially the sea and sky box but it’s never in stock anymore. I love this set and wish I opened more of it when it was cheaper
@samersalama6275 i opened alot early, but i wish I had waited because with the appreciation of the cards the excitement level from the pulls would've been that much higher.
@Ivan2Jura did you read my comment? I said it would've made it higher. I collect the cards I like, but you can't tell me when you pull a card that's worth big money you don't get Hyped.
I totally would not be surprised if we find out some time in the future that a heap of the eeveelution secret rares were stolen from the print run. It tottally reminds me of how it felt opening evolving and fusion strike.
@yannlibbrecht433 yea same for me, but it won't let me actually check out. I've probably asked 15 different creators from all over the US and even asked everyone in one of my videos to let me know if it's in stock for anyone and they all said no. Hence my original question.
Man shut up, at least you get pokemon center unlike the rest of us in Europe 😂 Just buy the pc etbs and you don't need to know what you're doing yet they will always go up
We don't have a clear picture of just how good crown zenith is (especially Americans who mostly dictate prices) because of how available it has been for so long (still in the us it seems). Just look at the hype surrounding a trah set like fusion strike, now don't tell me anyone in their right minds in 5-10 years would choose a vintage FS to buy and open over CZ. Both are gonna be expensive, the mewtwo vstar will probably catch up or destroy gengar vmax in price as it's just so superior in art but the important thing is: only one of the sets gets you a "vintage" hit every other pack... This and paldean fates are my biggest positionsnfor this reason, although I do need to admit it's a challenge not opening those whereas I could have a case of evolving skies or fusion strike in my basement and not even touch it lol And prismatic I actually got like 20 products at retail and really struggling to force myself to open at least some to get that Budew (as I don't care at all about pokeball holos lol)
The raikou is fire, but the mew, deoxys vstar and Mewtwo vstar really take the cake for me I thought the lumineon was cool too, but tbh seeing it in person I feel like the one from I think brilliant stars is a bit better
I came back to the hobby in early 2023. Crown Zenith has been my favorite set. Super fun to open. Great pull rates and chase cards. I love the artwork. I have happily bought more as other people chased other sets.
I have had no fun at all opening prismatic. It's genuinely a bad, boring and sad experience. Im keeping everything sealed now from this set. Opened 3 etbs, 2 posters and 5 tech stickers and all i got was 2 ace specs and 2 normal full arts..im not counting the pokeballs.
I love how Danny keeps confusing the sleepy mew with mew ex 😂 Happened to me too- mew card w ability? Yeah, it's mew ex 😂 Already 2 videos he's been talking about if it will retrace when it rotates...even though it's been rotated since last year 😂
I assume you mean "biggest" = $ return, and on that I'd disagree. The art is atrocious, and the fun factor is non-existent (less full art equals a better set?). For modern sets, Evolving will remain $ king and it won't be close.
@@mattjvictory Prismatic has 27 cards $100 or more. Evo has around 9 cards $100 or more. Prismatic is objectively a more valuable set whether you like it or not
@@VitaminDelicious2prismatic is way too new to be calculating values. Let Pokemon print for the next two years then check back and see who’s king. My money is on ES which has far better artwork.
@@VitaminDelicious2absolutely stupid to estimate the value of prismatic right now… I agree it’s an excellent set but we’re in maximum hype for the set right now, card prices are all over the place
CZ was for me the best set ever. Most fun Set to open, with sooo many amazing art works. Bought not one set after CZ that much. Still waiting for a set that is on the same level.Sadly in Germany its so much more expensive then in USA, still have a lot of CZ here, to open when I had a bad day/ or a good day. ^^
Yeah it's so overshadowed by 151, Evo cries and fusion strike that people don't realize it's the best set we ever got art for art, hit for hit and price per pack...
I think they just might, but boy did that one turn fast from trash to gold. Even faster than fusion strike, got a lot but wasn't finished with buying it up while the sheep are fighting for 151 😂
Question for the community: does anyone actually prefer pokeball and master ball holos to illustration rares? I just don't understand that it could be possible, to me they just look like fake pokemon cards and even in a binder next to each other they don't look good imho
I know it’s frowned upon to gatekeep, but there was just so many gym bros who you were in lines for prismatic that probably used to push some of the kids next to them in line into lockers, and that’s who prismatic has attracted, and it’s frustrating, but zenith has been a safe space, and I love it.
@@williamandrulis6172I think your terminology is more so the problem everyone knows the scalpers are crypto kids not gym bros. I understand the idea but gym culture in general has come a long theres a lot to respect about the people who constantly improve their bodies. (Barring extreme body building as that actually has been shown to be a detriment).
lol man, I go to the gym, I think it’s pretty clear who im referencing, and this was my personal experience very recently, I probably should take into account when I grew up vs now, like now anime is cool, but it used to make you the black sheep.
Crown Zenith was such an amazing set, which is why I opened and traded to complete a master set for my collection while it was all so cheap and available. Was so fun to open!
Great video! I'm so glad I got my golds when I did. It was only a few months ago but they've doubled in price! Glad I didn't have to pay so much extra to complete my collection.
Even though it says in stock, when you try to checkout, its out of stock. The SS boxes are pretty much gone in most areas. Expect some of the cards to explode when theyre finally out of print.
I’m still team 151 for the scarlet and violet era, big hopes for the Rocket set though! But man, Crown zenith is peak, will die on this hill. I still need the promos from sea and sky for my master set, thus far it’s been a US exclusive so it turns them into $50 promos 😷
Just shows how good pull rates and a well printed set can still return value to the collector. Something TPCi should really learn from...but they won't.
The sea and sky box has not been available at Sam's for some time now. Sometimes it shows available for 2 max, but when you check out, it says out of stock. Probably why the price has gone up. Can't get it at Sam's anymore. Sorry taññ
Crown Zenith is honestly such an amazing set! One of the best in my opinion. 2023 was a really fun year for me in the pokemon tcg hobby with the release of Crown Zenith, Paldea evolved and 151 all in the same year. All three sets that I love. Pull rates were better and pokemon products were alot easier to find.
Crown Zenith was the funnest set to open. I am 3 cards away from completing my master set. Of course, those 3 cards will cost me $400, but hey...😂😂😂....
One thing I hope won't happen is the new collectors that have joined the hobby within the past few months go into a "depression" since this bubble we're experiencing is a wild one. Once this bubble pops and prices drop, the market will correct and the newer people in the hobby will be the ones hurting.
I honestly don't understand why people thought PRE would feel anything like CZ to open. I was begging for the SIR pull rate to be better than the past 6-7 sets, but I never expected anything like CZ. It doesn't have nearly enough alternate arts to make that possible. You'd have a master set in 3 ETBs.
When I got back in the hobby I heard people talk about how cool CZ is and I didn’t make much of it until I got curious and bought a couple things and realized how fun it was to open and get hits. Now I wish I could’ve grabbed every product released for this set at or near MSRP
I base on pull rates if I like the set. Crown zenith by far one of the best in my opinion next to the pokemon go set. Crown zenith was always at msrp or cheaper for the longest time. Hits were insane too. I pulled every card and I don't think I spent more then 1500 dollars. Prismatic feels like evolving skies which I do not like, I spent over 8k and still needed a lot of cards. Prismatic evolutions feels like evolving skies so before I spend as much lol.
Crown Zenith was so fun to open and the art is the best in a while! Only set I’ve ever completed AND it didn’t take too many packs, only bought about 8 singles
My kids and I just completed our master set of Crown Zenith. Our very first completed set. Ripped packs to get most, but I had to buy a few, including Giratina and Arceus.
Prismatic 100% should have had crown zenith style pull rates! I think prismatic evolutions shows Pokemon Company’s greed personally. Might as well just open terestal festival, the Japanese version and actually have a good time.
Unfortunately my Sam’s says I can add the box to cart, but it’s not available for delivery or shipping or pickup. Then it says my cart is out of stock after I try to checkout
The problem is the pokeballs are supposed to be the same rate as IRs from CZ. Which it is...but no one wants a ton of pokeballs. Everyone liked getting IRs.
If you try to add the sea and sky boxes to your cart, I bet you can't checkout. This has been happening for a while now. They are pretty much dried up.
Sea and sky is the best and always comes with crazy hits. Best card pulled was the giratina from the lugia collection box but have pulled so many top pulls from sea and sky. It will be hundreds of dollars in no time
Crown zenith is such an awesome set. Good pull rates and amazing cards. Excellent prices for a while. I got crap before because I said Prismatic is the set that killed Pokemon. I was being dramatic but it’s an overpriced whale only set with absurdly disgusting pull rates. Giving us the poke ball reverses and ace spec cards is a slap in the face. I stand by what I said.
Just got my hands on some heavily discounted Stellar Crown, Temporal Forces, Shrouded Fable, and some variety tins. I don't usually rip many packs, so I'm happy because I haven't opened those sets yet.
Bit of a sadist here wishing SIR pull rates were more like Base S/V or Paldea Evolved where they're not like CZ and OF giving SIRs away like candy (even though my luck with CZ hasn't been the greatest).
CZ has been my favorite set since its release, I pulled the Giratina near release, the artworks are just over all amazing and varied, a great hit rate with a good blend of new and old, interesting trainer arts. I think it’s the greatest set I hope we get a CZ 2 with more BW, XY love
Crown will always be one of those sets that gets you excited to open packs this set was so giving and art was awesome

CZ train Woo Woo!!! I got over 1000 packs from Sam's Club and 50 boxes of each Greninja and Kingdra boxes. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m still team 151 for the scarlet and violet era, big hopes for the Rocket set though!
But man, Crown zenith is peak, will die on this hill. I still need the promos from sea and sky for my master set, thus far it’s been a US exclusive so it turns them into $50 promos 😷
Just shows how good pull rates and a well printed set can still return value to the collector. Something TPCi should really learn from...but they won't.
The sea and sky box has not been available at Sam's for some time now. Sometimes it shows available for 2 max, but when you check out, it says out of stock. Probably why the price has gone up. Can't get it at Sam's anymore. Sorry taññ
Crown Zenith is my top favourite set. I'm currently trying to complete a master's set of it
Crown zenith is so much good to open or collect(box design are insane)
It’s been sold out at Sam’s for a while now. Not sure how you are seeing them in stock.
Because they restock them every now and then and I got the sams club notification they were back in stock and apparently they didn't last long.
That Deoxys Vmax in the Galarian gallery is a top 5 all time card for me
Crown Zenith is honestly such an amazing set! One of the best in my opinion. 2023 was a really fun year for me in the pokemon tcg hobby with the release of Crown Zenith, Paldea evolved and 151 all in the same year. All three sets that I love. Pull rates were better and pokemon products were alot easier to find.
Crown Zenith was the funnest set to open. I am 3 cards away from completing my master set. Of course, those 3 cards will cost me $400, but hey...😂😂😂....
One thing I hope won't happen is the new collectors that have joined the hobby within the past few months go into a "depression" since this bubble we're experiencing is a wild one. Once this bubble pops and prices drop, the market will correct and the newer people in the hobby will be the ones hurting.
How can I find the market value of my Crown Zenith master set? I have all the promos as well, but I didn’t include the prize pack series variants.
Crown zenith is by far my favorite set, sad I got back into pokemon recently when all the cards are shooting up
I honestly don't understand why people thought PRE would feel anything like CZ to open.
I was begging for the SIR pull rate to be better than the past 6-7 sets, but I never expected anything like CZ. It doesn't have nearly enough alternate arts to make that possible. You'd have a master set in 3 ETBs.
When I got back in the hobby I heard people talk about how cool CZ is and I didn’t make much of it until I got curious and bought a couple things and realized how fun it was to open and get hits. Now I wish I could’ve grabbed every product released for this set at or near MSRP
Love crown zenith. Glad to see it's still jumping in price
I am so glad crown Z was the set I decided to master over the last 2 years
I base on pull rates if I like the set. Crown zenith by far one of the best in my opinion next to the pokemon go set. Crown zenith was always at msrp or cheaper for the longest time. Hits were insane too. I pulled every card and I don't think I spent more then 1500 dollars. Prismatic feels like evolving skies which I do not like, I spent over 8k and still needed a lot of cards. Prismatic evolutions feels like evolving skies so before I spend as much lol.
Crown Zenith was so fun to open and the art is the best in a while! Only set I’ve ever completed AND it didn’t take too many packs, only bought about 8 singles
151 got me back into the Pokemon TCG, Crown Zenith is what made me like ripping packs. The rest of SwSh though has been rough.
Sold out at Sam’s club. Thanks for baiting and switching me into signing up for Sam’s club😢
Crown zenith is hands down one of my favorite sets I've ever opened
My kids and I just completed our master set of Crown Zenith. Our very first completed set. Ripped packs to get most, but I had to buy a few, including Giratina and Arceus.
No shipping to Europe? :(
Prismatic 100% should have had crown zenith style pull rates! I think prismatic evolutions shows Pokemon Company’s greed personally. Might as well just open terestal festival, the Japanese version and actually have a good time.
Unfortunately my Sam’s says I can add the box to cart, but it’s not available for delivery or shipping or pickup. Then it says my cart is out of stock after I try to checkout
I love seeing my collection continue to gain but I hate buying anything new cost of the high cost lol. Guess I can’t have my cake and eat it to. Lol
151 has been by far my favorite to rip in SNV so far
The problem is the pokeballs are supposed to be the same rate as IRs from CZ. Which it is...but no one wants a ton of pokeballs. Everyone liked getting IRs.
If you try to add the sea and sky boxes to your cart, I bet you can't checkout. This has been happening for a while now. They are pretty much dried up.
you cant buy it on the website brother, sells out in .2 seconds from bots
I dont see hat crown zenith box from sam’s club in stock ?
I still see it in stock but when I try to checkout it says out of stock lol
Love CZ! This, Dragon Frontiers and Skyridge are my favorite sets of all time 🔥
In the UK Crown Zenith is literally $8 a pack now.. you guys are so lucky
Sea and sky is the best and always comes with crazy hits. Best card pulled was the giratina from the lugia collection box but have pulled so many top pulls from sea and sky. It will be hundreds of dollars in no time
I think tpci is saving the banger set for the final Scarlet and violet set
Prismatic always scared me with the masterball chase.
Crown zenith is such an awesome set. Good pull rates and amazing cards. Excellent prices for a while.
I got crap before because I said Prismatic is the set that killed Pokemon. I was being dramatic but it’s an overpriced whale only set with absurdly disgusting pull rates. Giving us the poke ball reverses and ace spec cards is a slap in the face. I stand by what I said.
As people can't get prismatic at msrp or sick of bad pull rates from prismatic. People will resort to older sets and singles. So keep on pumping!!!!!
Raises hand high. I was so hyped for this set but now think evolving cries wasn’t so bad after all. 😅
Just got my hands on some heavily discounted Stellar Crown, Temporal Forces, Shrouded Fable, and some variety tins. I don't usually rip many packs, so I'm happy because I haven't opened those sets yet.
Pull rates are so bad it's going to keep SIR's expensive. We opened 1 etb today. 3 pokeballs 1 EX and a glaceon masterball.
Bit of a sadist here wishing SIR pull rates were more like Base S/V or Paldea Evolved where they're not like CZ and OF giving SIRs away like candy (even though my luck with CZ hasn't been the greatest).
CZ has been my favorite set since its release, I pulled the Giratina near release, the artworks are just over all amazing and varied, a great hit rate with a good blend of new and old, interesting trainer arts. I think it’s the greatest set I hope we get a CZ 2 with more BW, XY love
is that a bucks hoodie? big respect, fear the deer!
I got 10 bits out of a prismatic etb. It was very nice. Got the Terrapagos sir
I started with crown zenith while on rotation in Europe. Im just messing a few cards 😊
Can't say that Prismatic Evolution is a fun set to open because I can't even get my hands on any.
Crown zenith is my 2nd all time favorite set, it’s just pure fun probably the purest form of pokemon tcg when it comes to opening and rewarding ❤
Just bought 10 of those sea and sky boxes, think im going to buy another 10 this weekend if they are still in stock
I found a walmart where they restock right at my lunch. For two weeks in a row i was able to find crown zenith product. Im so hyped.
CZ is my favorite set and I didn’t even know it when I came back into collecting cards. Sincerely the best set ever. Too bad it’ll be hard to find.
100%, making a good pack opening experience doesn't hurt business.
Crown Zenith was my favorite set! I completed it too!
I thought prismatic and 151 would be my favorite sets but I cry when I open them… so I gave up on opening them..
A year from now, if we find out someone from the factory stole a bunch of the Prismatic SIRs, I would not be the LEAST bit surprised.
