I got into collecting less than 3 months ago, so I missed Evolving Skies, 151 and a bunch of other cool stuff. So I immediately preordered a bunch of prismatic evolutions stuff. Right now, Evolving Skies costs around 22 USD per pack here in Norway. Which is insane. And the only English 151 product available is upcoming Blooming Waters preorders for 120 USD. Which is also insane.
@@jakobmidtb68 I only saw 3 shops that had pre-orders for that. And only one of them has any pre-orders left available. So I don't think they got much of the stock.
Unlikely that they’re coming from evolving skies, a set that came out 3 years ago. The demand is so high because it’s one of the best sets in a while, more shops are ordering it, and because it’s a “high-class” class which will have no booster boxes which makes it much less available as well.
Let’s hope they’ll get those prices of ETBs and all down because so many people will be priced out otherwise. Having expensive cards is cool when you pull something big when in a set but gambling like that prices out the average collector sadly. Hopefully the hype continues but the supply can deliver 👍
I'd argue that evolving skies didn't bring anyone back. That set went through the same lull where booster boxes were 100 bucks for a time. The only reason the set ended up where it is is because the umbreon got hyped and now it just lives on its own hype. The artwork is fine but the price is because of the price and it will never go down because of the price. In terms of gambling because the pull rates are trash in evolving skies it makes the cards that much more rare whereas the pull rates now are far better than that part of SWSH.
Terastral prices will crash a lot when English drops, always does. And long term Japanese performs worse so if you’re “investing” you’re better off waiting a bit after English drops.
@MrAmadeus1998 ya, cause the people who bought tons of Best of XY and GX Battle Boost back when they released haven’t made any profit, right? If you’re buying TF for $90-$100/ box right now you’re a moron. There’s also no booster box equivalent in English for this set which will inevitably drive the Japanese booster prices up even more. Plus no second Eevee SIR, and no Umbreon Masterball in English. You can keep buying garbage quality English cards for twice market value. To each their own I guess.
It is disappointing so many of this new collector/‘investor’ boom is just get rich quick scalpers. Obviously out of print stuff will always go up, but something not even on shelves being marked up isn’t ’gaining value’ it’s just reseller demands. Really takes the wind out of collecting when it’s just fighting with bots
I have actually taken this approach. I have purchased a few SIRs from terestral because of how cheap they were. I love the ceruledge, roaring moon, raging bolt, iron valiant and the sandy shocks. Lol I didn’t buy all of them.
Unfortunately the Eevee evolution standard cards are pulled out of the set for promos in the tech sticker and poster collection. We'll see where the Umbreon and Espeon end up.
You mean "is expensive." +$70 for the binder pre-order on TCGP. Was going to grab a box of 151 japanese but it's climbed or what I looked at sold out but the box jumped $30 USD in a week. Just going to grab something cheap from the local hobby store and survive Xmas. Happy Holidays and happy card hunting guys
You're WRONG, the huge demand for pokemon is primarily beacuse of of "151" not evolving skies.. 151 brought back so many collectors due the nostalgia..
@@jasonblack6930 that’s fine. I came back in 2022 for no reason just because I wanted too. Look at the numbers 2020 is the year the hobby blew up, not when 151 came out - sorry.
Me too I’m back for 151, didn’t know anything about evolving skies before i came back… however that said I don’t care for prismatic evolutions and haven’t wanted any of that, I’m hoping for the rocket set to release next year to keep me interested
Even if you manage to refresh the page at the exact moment they get restocked, you'll only have a couple of mins to get a preorder before they're all gone. That's how crazy it is atm.
i'll be honest, I am investing into this set and have a decent amount of regular ETBs at MSRP but worry it will just crash lol. It's fun right now for MSRP buyers but damn that worry. Also I look at things both short and long term and these are things I will keep long term but I just worry the set will just be trash or some
Surprised on how much I disagree with your opinion on the art works😅 I do agree I like the ogrepons more than TM versions, I was pretty disappointed they added new sar's for all 4 of them. Also, Dragapult is one of my favorites in this set! I really don't see the ogrepon's getting very high prices (they're not atm) except maybe for some playability. One thing I want to mention though, these regular Eeveelutions will not be in the main set of Prismatic, as these are promos in the products that get released. So there will be no master ball version of them to pull from them either. Although there hasn't been confirmation on umbreon and espeon, it would be weird for them to only put those 2 in the set...
@ no, I will master it with top 10 chases in gem mint 10 graded slabs, and whatever sealed I can get my hands on for long term hold. There’s a good chance it may cost me more than $5k for everything I want to collect.
Are we actually getting the pokeball & masterball holo’s for all the eeveelutions? Seeing as most of the normal eeveelution cards are intentionally excluded and put as promo cards. Does anyone know?
@@jakobmidtb68 thanks for letting me know, worst case scenario, i will just have to collect the japanese version for the pokeball and masterball holo’s for the eeveelutions. Though it is a big setback after realising it just now, since i already pre-ordered 7 Etbs🙈
Ehh the hobby is fine and fun, if not for investors hogging all the etbs and booster boxes just for them to sell it above MSRP. I think i'm gonna pass on this one, LZ-A coming out soon, pretty sure they have other sets available
All these scalpers who just buy up boxes and resell them just cause PTCG to print more cards, ultimately undermining any long term value
I think Pokemon strategically makes PC ETBs to create fomo for the set. Which is pretty genius
Man if so many people join in on the hobby and you can’t get cards right away because they sell out. People will leave the hobby eventually.
With everyone on the eevees I’m picking up some raging bolt and roaring moon on the cheap!

I dont understand why you could still preorder in Norway TBH, i thought allocations were supposed to be bad for this set
@@jakobmidtb68 I only saw 3 shops that had pre-orders for that. And only one of them has any pre-orders left available. So I don't think they got much of the stock.
Can you preoder online instead?

You’re better off investing in Terastal Festival. English market is a complete clown show right now.

@@MrAmadeus1998🤦♂️ I bet the people who didn’t buy Best of XY or GX Battle Boost said the same thing. lol
😂😂 its so stupid and its all about investing money when im trying to just collect so i get japanese
Japanese cards suck
Van Gogh Pika price is insane going up.....
Yeah that card is rising like wild
Will crash soon, insanely overpriced
Im looking foward for that SIR i hope it doesn't end up at a crazy price

Was fun watching you on Drip yesterday, even if I didn’t win anything! Thanks Phil
Appreciate you watching!

Do we actually have confirmation that master ball reverses are in the English set? Ive heard rumors now that they will only be released as promos
Yeah it’s still up in the air atm

Yeah at this point it seems it’s already like that…hopefully prices calm down, though at this point it seems unlikely
Guess I’ll have to wait until like June to get Prismatic for retail
You’ll probably be able to get it in March.

Yea no sorry buddy, the pandemic is what brought everyone back and revolving skies was the first good set to drop.
151 is exactly what brought me back to Pokémon.
@@jasonblack6930 that’s fine. I came back in 2022 for no reason just because I wanted too. Look at the numbers 2020 is the year the hobby blew up, not when 151 came out - sorry.
I’m back because 151 🫡

Bring back the Singlet!!!!! Wooooo!
I prefer the evolving skies artwork
how fast would the pc etbs sell out after the restock on jan 17th?
I think at this point it would be pretty quick
minutes probally
Even if you manage to refresh the page at the exact moment they get restocked, you'll only have a couple of mins to get a preorder before they're all gone. That's how crazy it is atm.
Is it Phillips Collectibles or Phillip's Collectibles?
i'll be honest, I am investing into this set and have a decent amount of regular ETBs at MSRP but worry it will just crash lol. It's fun right now for MSRP buyers but damn that worry. Also I look at things both short and long term and these are things I will keep long term but I just worry the set will just be trash or some
Have you got your allocation bro?!
Don't underrate the Palafin!
Same artist responsible for Fist of the North Star-- and the meme, "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru"
does anyone know if the Prismatic Evolution´s ETB will be avaible in local retail stores ? or is it only availabe for preorder?
Jan 17th, though it’s looking very difficult to score atm
it's the most wonderfull time of the year. Happy holidays all!
Happy holidays!

wait till the scalppers get theirs.
Every store should have a 1 per order limit.

I skipped over the last 3 sets released. Saving all my dollars for prismatic evolutions. Got $5k budgeted specifically for it.
Scalping it?
@ no, I will master it with top 10 chases in gem mint 10 graded slabs, and whatever sealed I can get my hands on for long term hold. There’s a good chance it may cost me more than $5k for everything I want to collect.
If your master setting, gonna cost more than 5k especially because of all Pokeball and master ball reverses

NGL the eeveelution cards in the prismatic set don’t even look that good 😐
I love them! But I guess they're an acquired taste
Are we actually getting the pokeball & masterball holo’s for all the eeveelutions?
Seeing as most of the normal eeveelution cards are intentionally excluded and put as promo cards.
Does anyone know?
We wont get flareon, glaceon, leafeon or sylveon since they are promos. We will get the rest if they dont become promos as well.
@@jakobmidtb68 thanks for letting me know, worst case scenario, i will just have to collect the japanese version for the pokeball and masterball holo’s for the eeveelutions.
Though it is a big setback after realising it just now, since i already pre-ordered 7 Etbs🙈
Some
Of those new SIR’s will be $10 ish. Not desirable at all from a market standpoint. IMO
Just subbed
Once again, awesome information by one of the best in the community. Thanks Phil 👍
Someone could probably put umbreon sitting on a toilet and still be the highest chase card… our community is so dumb😂
Convinced my best friend to start collecting probably not the best time LOL I was able to help him get two ETBs for Prismatic so he is happy.
Sick
Early bird!!
Ehh the hobby is fine and fun, if not for investors hogging all the etbs and booster boxes just for them to sell it above MSRP. I think i'm gonna pass on this one, LZ-A coming out soon, pretty sure they have other sets available
