Dang that's impressive. I think 151 will be the first set that I want to actually try and complete a master set. Honestly after 151 I hope they do a special set like this for every generation!!! I would be so hyped.
Literally got excited during this video so I decided to open an Alakazam box. It actually had Poliwag/Poliwhirl/Polywrath all reverse in different packs. Last pack I got the SIR Squirtle and Wiggly ex!
Never got to complete my original set as a kid, so I'm determined to complete this one. Pull rates have me skeptical though, might have to just buy singles
I don't do master sets, but I might do at least a semi-master set for this one where I have all the common cards and a handful of the more expensive/rare ones.
Dang! I opened 266 packs and pulled all but 12 cards, all of which will cost me less than $20 to buy, and 1 of those 12 is the reverse holo Poliwhirl! I had great luck with 151. Batching is crazy, and it's why I set a limit of how many packs I'll open before stopping and buying/selling/trading for the others I need.
Recently came across your channel. Not really back into collecting anymore but I am collecting this set. I love the binder and the set up using the ETB sleeves. Happy to subscribe!
I walked away from pokemon TCG after my stepmom threw away and gave away my collection 10 years ago and my sisters friends stole what I had left, but the 151 set got my interest, so I'm trying to jump back into it and gotta say your videos are helping a lot with knowledge about the current state of Pokemon TCG! Love your stuff and thanks for putting out the videos you do!
Honestly, my excitement died with the abysmal pull rates. I'll pick up a few cards (probably pay through the nose) but I doubt I buy a single pack of this set.
I laid my master set of 151 out the same, variations sode by side but to avoid the issue you have of raticate on on page and the reverse on the other - i put two EX side by side instead of just 1 or even just use a empty sleeve (art showing) next to the EXs; this keeps all carda in sets of 2 and you literally never have that issue again haha If i put two EX side by side instead of the sleeve, i usually go for like a koren or japanese EX in the 2nd slot to compliment the english one
I do the same thing but just use a backwards card. This helps separate the space from a missing card. Just as a placeholder to keep all 2 cards together
Wow that’s such a nice set. I agree with you on the set and love watching your videos. Been a tough year for me so getting into 151 after watching your videos. Thank you 😄
When it comes to this set, I absolutely love the illustration rares for it, but I wish they had done the masterball holo rares that they did for the JP version. I may just get the ones I want, but a full master set... not sure if I want to spend money on getting it.
Ripped a Poster box and 2 ETBs with my nephew this evening and hit a Demi-god pack containing the Bulbasaur line! We were hyped but now I’m psyched considering how rare they are!
In regards to how you put your cards in the binder. I just added a holo element card to the 2nd slot for the ex cards since there is only one copy, to keep the card flow the same throughout my binder. Love this binder though saw it on one of your videos and found it for myself!
THANK YOU BRO for making this happen for one lucky subscriber. This set is what got me back into collecting pokemon cards as a child who grew up collecting the original first sets from base set to team rocket
I opened about 210 packs this weekend and I am only missing 29 cards which I'll just buy singles for. Could have probably opened 100 and bought the rest cheaper but it was fun. Out of 210 only one gold and it was the energy of course
When I put my binders together I ignore the list order for ex's and stuff so I group all the regular cards together with their reverse then ill do all the ex together ect keeps everything side by side and looks way nice IMO to just have a full page of exs
I believe you missed the 6 promo cards and 3 exclusive cards. I put bulbasaur best buy exclusive, squirtle (PC exclusive), and charmander(Gamestop Exclusive) next to their reverse holo versions. I put 3 full art promo cards of Snorlax and snorlax PC exclusive between no. 180 and no.181. I put Mewtwo and mew full art promo between 181 and 182. I put no201 and no.202 back to other illustration art too in order. Also, I put the 3 full art in evolution line together (charmander,charmeleon, charizard....)
This is awesome! Glad you completed it but also jealous. Ive got 350 packs coming and going to buy more. I am chasing a master set! Did you order the cards 1-200ish in order? What binder are you using?
Batching is a thing. I swear it is. eg. we pulled two Glaceon VMAX alt arts and 3 Golurk V alt arts out of a case of ES ETB's. I've seen weird stuff like this in other things as well. Speaking of weird cards that are hard to pull. We had the entirety of the normal set completed for Fusion Strike , (reverse holos, rare, holo rare, ultra rare, and full arts) before we finally pulled a common Pansage #7/264..
A local LGS had these in early and we picked up several ETB's. Kids were so disappointed in that they got hardly any real hits. Just strange how Pokemon operates with very little rhyme or reason. Crown Zenith was awesome with hits. Obisdian Flames was crazy with hits. It seems like 151 is going to be quite different, so it will be interesting to see how the singles prices go, as well as if people get frustrated and slow down purchases of sealed product? I am guessing they are going to print the heck out of this set, but it will be interesting to see where the market goes with this. Still have no idea why they didn't have the master ball cards in the English set. That really makes no sense to me.
A master set would be tight to pull off. But idk about getting all that reverse holos or holos. I feel like having either or would be good enough for me. Like some cards being the common others being the reverse. As long as I have that 001 bulbasaur for example regardless of being holo or reverse or common
I personally do master sets in 2 different 9 slot binders. With the second binder being reverse holos with duplicate ex cards filling the holes. Great information!
I do my master sets the same exact way! I also add extra reverse holos of my favorites in the back...this set will be the mewtwo rev holo. The reverse I never pulled in OF was the palafin including the palafin ir...had to buy them.
My set is taking up 2 binders. Promos included. I do side by side too. Plus every card gets a top loader. This is my favorite set ever. So much nostalgia.
Hey Danny, new subscriber here. Where can I find the checklist for holos and reverse holos? I've been looking everywhere but can only find the regular checklist.
Do you know what the total amount of cards is? I want to use to use the Binder they give but like you mentioned it wont work. The reason I ask is I want to buy a 3 sleeve page instead of a 4 like you have.
How many cards are there in total if you want to collect all the commons, uncommons, reverse holos, holos, promos, energy cards, and all the full arts?
My son and i are working on Obsidian flames and 151. We have a little over half for both but im finding now its expensive when you get nothing but duplicates. Luckily i have some good ones to trade a card shop. 151 is sold out everywhere around me so im ordering them off amazon.
I got the binder and sadly it was cracked in the corner still using it I love the look and feel I don't think my cards with get damaged though so I feel good.
Can someone explain to me why it takes 800 packs to get most of the master set or even more to get the full master set but the cost to buy a completed master set online is so low? 800 packs would be like $6400 AUD at launch and closer to $11,200 AUD today if you were to buy boosters at the cost they currently sell for here on average. But you can just buy the complete 151 master set with a binder right now for $1800-2000 AUD. How does that make sense value wise? I've opened 20x Mew UPC boxes valued at $4800 AUD, 6x Zapdos Boxes for $264 AUD and 2 Poster boxes for $72 AUD, so 350 packs of 151 total and was still missing like 6 reverse holos, 1 trainer card, like 5-6 full arts and 6 illustration rares including Venusaur and Charizard. So over $5000 but if I wanted to sell the full set I can only get max 2k... Even if the set was going to appreciate over time, I still feel the cost should more closely represent the cost it would take to pull everything yourself. Same with single cards.
great collection and congratulations. i just wanted to ask that if you are making a master set how would you know if the card needs a reverse hollow or a hollow.
Going to wait on buying singles as this will be heavily printed going into the holidays + looking to get all common, uncommon, rares, reverse, and holos from my local card shop as they expect to get bulk trade ins. I’d rather pay a slight premium sorting thru bulk than opening 50 packs, let alone 500. As for the SIR and big hits, I will also wait for this set to settle down much like Crown Zenith did
Can someone help me understand something please. What I don't understand about the "master set" is when collecting and following with the ETB and ticking away which cards you have. Do some cards not have a non Holo version ? For example vaporeon, flareon and jolteon. In order to complete the master set do you need a Holo and a Reverse Holo to actually fill the master set requirements? Or do you get 1 X non Holo and 1 X Reverse Holo OR Holo ? Many thanks in advance
I don’t collect Pokemon and haven’t bought any cards since base set 2 and jungle way back in the day. This set has got me hyped again to complete the master set and gotten me back on the Pokemon train in general. Love the OG’s and nostalgia this set delivers!
10:55 What about having 2 ex side by side in order to not have a normal card on one page and the reverse on the other they're the ones that disrupt the system right? This way in a 4x3 binder like yours it would literally just be every card twice. 2 2 2 2 and so on ex included. Would be kinda weird to have 2 ex cards there but maybe you could do one in another language you like, japanese or whatever, even simply 2 in english to me would look better :D
thanks for helping us understand what we can expect from this set! I am looking forward to getting my first ever boxes of Pokemon I ever purchased in my life. I have only bought a few packs here and there and some of the walMart promo packs from Happy Meals, Looking forward to the two preorder UPC of 151 from Target!
Hi, danny! I am a new subscriber and I gotta say I am so damn happy I searched for you!!

i dont get why theyre ignoring gen 2, it was actually really good@@tcgKraze
@@tcgKraze Absolutely and they should name the Gen 2 set "Gold and Silver"
How's it going? @@tcgKraze
Unpopular opinion... it doesn't seem fair for one person to be able to master the set before it's even out to purchase.
why? how does it affect you?
I said unpopular opinion lol.

@@Raverinewolf09 yes English i have 6 bundle myself already
@@xESPplayer500x yeah I'm not paying the premium on it to get it early. All I was saying is everyone should be able to get it same time
Can’t wait to open my ETBs and pull nothing!
Literally got excited during this video so I decided to open an Alakazam box. It actually had Poliwag/Poliwhirl/Polywrath all reverse in different packs. Last pack I got the SIR Squirtle and Wiggly ex!
Never got to complete my original set as a kid, so I'm determined to complete this one. Pull rates have me skeptical though, might have to just buy singles
I don't do master sets, but I might do at least a semi-master set for this one where I have all the common cards and a handful of the more expensive/rare ones.
I pulled the entire Squirtle line in a single pack and was beyond shocked ! I had no idea it was that uncommon wow !
Dang! I opened 266 packs and pulled all but 12 cards, all of which will cost me less than $20 to buy, and 1 of those 12 is the reverse holo Poliwhirl! I had great luck with 151. Batching is crazy, and it's why I set a limit of how many packs I'll open before stopping and buying/selling/trading for the others I need.
with enough time and/or money it's possible to pull a demi god pack. i would love to pull one but i won't hold my breath. can't even find 151.
I got floored lol I opened up 4 etb and got less than 3 hits. No mew no Zapdos also opened 4 booster bundles 2 binders one of the promo boxes
800 packs and 1300 for a demi god back... wow! Pokémon seems to be a bit leaner on hits in this set! thanks Danny
Girlfriend and I pulled the Char- Demi god pack yesterday! We’re about 250 packs in though
Recently came across your channel. Not really back into collecting anymore but I am collecting this set. I love the binder and the set up using the ETB sleeves. Happy to subscribe!
Batching is a thing, SV base set in my area i've found around 8 Gardevoir SIR, literally only 1 or 0 of other SIR.
Let's Go! Thank you so much for this kind of content Danny!! So ready for my 151 pre-orders!
Just got the binder collection, poster collection and 2 ETB. Pull rates weren't the best but got a gold mew on the last pack
I walked away from pokemon TCG after my stepmom threw away and gave away my collection 10 years ago and my sisters friends stole what I had left, but the 151 set got my interest, so I'm trying to jump back into it and gotta say your videos are helping a lot with knowledge about the current state of Pokemon TCG!

Honestly, my excitement died with the abysmal pull rates. I'll pick up a few cards (probably pay through the nose) but I doubt I buy a single pack of this set.
Same here. Pull rates are trash. Reverse holos are trash
I feel like content creators get sent the good shit, and I get the snickle frites
Just bought a few 151 singles I think will be underrated the SiRs especially. Probably gonna open a bit then work my way through the singles
How much would this kind of full binder set cost in the market?
Pull rates for me were not great. Opened 10 etbs, 4 of those etb had 2 hits each…
I pulled the Special illustration rare of Venusaur out of 1 poster bundle talk about lucky!
Im still hyped but scared of the pull rates!
Did you like the pull rates for the previous Scarlet and Violet sets?
just buy singles, you will save so much money
@@willymot i already learned that lesson lol but it is fun to rup packs and get the gamble hit esp when a set is new! Its like christmas
I honestly can't believe how atrocious the pull rates for this set are....really makes me not even want to chance opening product up
@@kevinnix6155 so then you really like the pull rates for previous Scarlet violet sets right?
Pull rates are all over the place. Glad you always put in the time for us. You're the best!🔥
How many packs did you open to get a master set?
I've never done a master set before and I want this to be the 1st one but i'm a little worried lol.
how many cards does the máster set?
In one ETB, I got a god pack of the bulbasaur line and another pack with SIR Giovanni. So probably depends on the case?
I laid my master set of 151 out the same, variations sode by side but to avoid the issue you have of raticate on on page and the reverse on the other - i put two EX side by side instead of just 1 or even just use a empty sleeve (art showing) next to the EXs; this keeps all carda in sets of 2 and you literally never have that issue again haha

I do the same thing but just use a backwards card. This helps separate the space from a missing card. Just as a placeholder to keep all 2 cards together
Need creators to come together and deep dive on batching
I also like to put them next to each other. I also put an energy card next to the ex card, so i keep the 2-2 structure in the binder 😂.
This man is going above and beyond to get us data and showing us realistic expectations. Appreciate you Danny
I can't believe it's only one day left! I hope you all pull some fire tomorrow! 🔥
Wow that’s such a nice set. I agree with you on the set and love watching your videos. Been a tough year for me so getting into 151 after watching your videos. Thank you 😄
hit rates of 1 per 3 packs seem right about on average for the S&V sets
When it comes to this set, I absolutely love the illustration rares for it, but I wish they had done the masterball holo rares that they did for the JP version. I may just get the ones I want, but a full master set... not sure if I want to spend money on getting it.

Be nice if they included all the gym leaders and Elite Four. Maybe add a Red/Blue Tag Team rainbow rare card. Lol
We already pulled 2 Charizards and 2 Erika’s Invitation after 50 packs!
Completed the Japan 151 masterset, my proudest collecting achievement to date 😁
how many cards total for a master set japanese 151?
Master ball reverse and all?
When I put my binders together I ignore the list order for ex's and stuff so I group all the regular cards together with their reverse then ill do all the ex together ect keeps everything side by side and looks way nice IMO to just have a full page of exs
Man now the English set has me scared to wanna get it. Maybe I’ll stick with spending the majority of our money (my son and I ) on Crown Zenith.

How many cards are in the set? Including all promos (event Best Buy, GameStop, and the Pokémon center)?
Isn’t there 3 variants of the Kadabra and the Electabuzz?
Non holo, holo and reverse
Dude, I opened a whole bunch and never got a Kakuna, Nidorino, or Scyther 😂
I am skipping 151 and waiting for Paradox rift. That is a very impressive binder
Paradox has way better art style
@@Max-my6rk I am liking what I have seen from the 1st Japanese set that just came out. The art rares are few nice

What type of products did you buy?? What is all ETB or was it the premium set or binder sets? Does it matter?
i like doing rev holos next to the regular commons but i also want to include all the promos & fit them in a 9 slot binder 😅
God I hope pokemon doesn't go backwards, it was going in such a great direction where the sets were getting super affordable.
Where did all your cards come from when you opened lots of them, etb or singles ect
How many cards are there in total if you want to collect all the commons, uncommons, reverse holos, holos, promos, energy cards, and all the full arts?
Did you snag the pokemon center exclusives of snorlax/squirtle, best buy bulbasaur / gamestop charmander, Collectors Must they skyrocketing
Thank you for talking about the pull rates and how many packs it took you to complete your master set binder.
Can the binder from the 151 binder collection fit sleeved cards?
Why do I have a electobuzz holo, reverse holo and non holo? But none of the other holos have a non holo??
Had no idea about demigod packs, that's pretty cool. It's not even out yet and you already mastered it, congrats lol
The poliwhirl 176/165 looks so cool! I’m hyped for this set! 🎉
My son and i are working on Obsidian flames and 151. We have a little over half for both but im finding now its expensive when you get nothing but duplicates. Luckily i have some good ones to trade a card shop. 151 is sold out everywhere around me so im ordering them off amazon.
I'm hoping to do a master set of 151, but 1000+ packs probably isn't going to be it. I'll commit to about 200 and then single out the rest.
Working on my master set now! It's going to take me a while but I'm excite about it!
I got the binder and sadly it was cracked in the corner still using it I love the look and feel I don't think my cards with get damaged though so I feel good.
My kids and I are close to a master set of both S&V base and 151, a fun collecting and deck build year for new trainers!
Can someone explain to me why it takes 800 packs to get most of the master set or even more to get the full master set but the cost to buy a completed master set online is so low?
800 packs would be like $6400 AUD at launch and closer to $11,200 AUD today if you were to buy boosters at the cost they currently sell for here on average. But you can just buy the complete 151 master set with a binder right now for $1800-2000 AUD.
How does that make sense value wise? I've opened 20x Mew UPC boxes valued at $4800 AUD, 6x Zapdos Boxes for $264 AUD and 2 Poster boxes for $72 AUD, so 350 packs of 151 total and was still missing like 6 reverse holos, 1 trainer card, like 5-6 full arts and 6 illustration rares including Venusaur and Charizard. So over $5000 but if I wanted to sell the full set I can only get max 2k...
Even if the set was going to appreciate over time, I still feel the cost should more closely represent the cost it would take to pull everything yourself. Same with single cards.
great collection and congratulations. i just wanted to ask that if you are making a master set how would you know if the card needs a reverse hollow or a hollow.
U already have the master and the set hasnt even dropped
Where did all the poliwhirls go lol crazy those were so hard to pull!
Do some cards only have reverse holo and holo? No regular variation
Going to wait on buying singles as this will be heavily printed going into the holidays + looking to get all common, uncommon, rares, reverse, and holos from my local card shop as they expect to get bulk trade ins.

I set my master sets up the exact same way. The set sleeves make sense but of course take away from the card to me. Awesome video

What product did the “Demi God” pack come out of?
Awesome video! Love seeing the master sets. I do them the same way. Can’t wait to open this set tomorrow!
Is there a reverse holo and a holo for each card?
360 includes the holo energy cards?
10:55 What about having 2 ex side by side in order to not have a normal card on one page and the reverse on the other they're the ones that disrupt the system right?
