This is not financial advice. These are just my personal opinions.
Thanks for taking the time for all of us and making 5 videos a week now. The sound , editing and screen shots are spot on. It’s beyond professional. You’ve got a great format. We all really appreciate the dedication. Cheers mate!
Thank you! Sorry for the late response
Hey poke beard.. Mario from card party here.. so awesome I got to meet you.. enjoy the card I got you… so question.. I have 4 sealed booster boxes from evolving skies coming currently.. should keep 2 .. sell 2 and use the money to rap up and complete the remaining alt arts in the set… by the way the moonbreon graded a 9.5… you were right….
What's up brother! It was great to meet you and I love the card. I got you on the question
Ayyy! Thanks for using my question! - Little Mike
Thanks for watching and commenting
Question: Is Hidden Fates the most undervalued etb in S&M?
I agree. My question aswell. Love hidden fates 😊
Cosmic eclipse is your answer
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
I also like using Dragon Shield sleeves before top loading. I prefer the black backs though, I think it makes the cards pop so much more especially the shiny cards. I just put my Champions Path Charizard V in one and it looks amazing.
I could see that
12:00 lol no one talks about. Actually the cenus is they don't really like the Darkness Ablaze one. Im sure its been graded 10,000 times and is fairly easy to pull
$10 is a good price point but it might take 10 years for appreciation.
Besides the Shining Fates is the best version IMO
A lot of us are older now and have money but alot of us care about the cards and are intrigued by the market and also don’t want to get burned, these videos are a godsend !
(got back into pokemon about 1 year ago)
question for what if wednesday: there are so many cards i want but don’t know where to start, how should i go about it ? Love the videos !
Great question, I might use this
When a new set is released, what characteristics do you look for to judge if it's going to be a great set to invest in? -Love the Channel
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
I haven’t even slept from waking up Tuesday! 😂 let’s go!
😂
Binder and sleeve advice..good..zip binder is a must
I agree
Thanks for all the awesome content lately! I know you don't usually recommend collecting full master sets. Do you think English 151 is any different, or will appreciate more in value long term?
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Love these videos! Want to hear more about your card party experience, sad I didn’t see you there.
What cards/products did you pick up and what was your favorite memory from the event?
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Hey what's up bro. Question are you a fan of the Pokemon Poker Cards? I know they are not as well known but some of them especially the most liked pokemon sell in the hundreds in a PSA 10. Are they worth investing?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
For sets that do not contain booster boxes, do you think buying cases of booster bundle or mini tin displays would be a good pick up?
60 packs in the booster display, mini tin cases have 80 or just 20 per tin display
Also would take up less space than ETB cases
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Thanks for the help with my question! Hope you have a great day
No problem. Thanks for watching
Where is the best place to get one of those Pokémon statues you have in your background? I’m looking for a Gengar but want to get something good quality. Thanks beard, love your videos!
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Question: Is gen 3 as a whole overlooked when it comes to modern Pokémon cards? I feel as if we’ve seen one or two blaziken cards in the past few years and no love to the other starters. Asides from rayquaza, groudon and kyogre don’t have too many cards. And the base set for gen 3 seems to get overlooked in my opinion.
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Would you buy booster boxes rn or wait until the team rocket set comes out for scarlet and violet. I feel the set will do well especially if we get some og gen 1,2,3. From an investment standpoint it makes sense to me to wait and save my money
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Repeat: If you had to choose between collecting gold stars or crystals, which would you rather collect? Already have a couple of both.
I got you
Late to watching this one. But I'm desperate here!
Collecting question here. Where is the best places to post you are looking for rare cards or is just checking Ebay and other places your best bet?
I have a 1 of 4 Quaxly black star promos and 1 of 6 Quaxwell black star promos in CGC Pristine 10s. I've been looking for the Quaquaval black star promo for weeks. But I suspect there are less than 10.
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Where did you get that mew card poster you have hung up in the background? Wanted to find a giratina v poster like that and seems impossible to find, thanks!!
I got it locally. They're called lenticular cards. There on ebay
Looking to minimize duplicates/bulk, would it be smarter to sell on eBay (individual cards/lots for bulk) or trade in at LCS for store credit? Love these videos, thanks!
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
@@PokeBeardTCG thank you! Appreciate all the help I can get
I started collecting sealed Pokemon products about a year ago... I try to add some stuff on a monthly basis... In your opinion, what product usually performs best, valuewise? BB's, blisters, tins, sleeved boosters?? I personally love to collect the Sleeved Boosters, or don't they hold value as much? Love The Content!! Belgium Represent!! #Q&A
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Another very insightful video, thank you for all that you do for the community.
Question: If I sell my Moonbreon, What newer sealed product would you recommend to invest in using those funds? Sealed booster box case? Or do you feel the Moonbreon is a better investment to just hold?
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
I've noticed the Pikachu with grey felt hat (Von Gogh) is super low right now good time to buy? Also Classic Celebration box is low as well. Love the content and everything you do!
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Thanks for the feature a few weeks ago. I really enjoy your content and don’t miss a video. I know you don’t do much Japanese, but I do think the 25th anniversary cards (charizard, venasaur, blastoise) versions are just a lot nicer than the celebrations variants. Do you think these have potential to boom in the future?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Always love the videos, thanks for what you do for the community. Do you think an English 151 ETB at retail price is a good pick up? And do you think it will get a reprint in the near future?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
SV is holding out to build up to something. SV is by farrr better than SWSH set for set. SV1 PAL OBF PAR TEM TWM vs SWSH-chilling reign. No question.
Only because of the first 4 sets of swsh. If you compare alt art sets to any sir sets. Alts will win everytime. Evolving vs paldea. Evolving wins. Paradox vs chilling. Chilling wins. Temporal forces vs fusion strike. Fusion wins.
Hi PokeBeard! Thank you for consistently bringing up good and valuable content. Quick question: What do you personally prefer, raw singles or slabs? Also how do you feel about master sets?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Do you think the eeveelution premium collection v and vmax's will go up a lot? those arts are amazing
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
I currently put top set cards in a top loader binder, but it does leave holes in the master set binder.
Would you trust putting the top set cards that are graded worthy into a zipper binder like a Vault X binder?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Love the beard aka the Lion’s Maine.
😂thank you
New to slabs. I know in this video you spoke on some of the things you use to protect cards but do you use slab protectors too? Do you screen slabs for scratches? How does this effect price
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
The 151 Japanese booster box I’m available to Get em 50$ out the door delivered, Tik tok shop with coupons 😂
Yea the tik tok shop is crazy
How long do you think SW&SH alts will continue to dip until it will be a good time to start buying them raw and/or graded again? Love the content btw!
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
I think the SIRs are already better than the AltArts at least in terms of art. Finally saw a moonbreon in person this weekend and I really don’t get it. Other than pull rates I don’t see how it’s worth half what it’s selling for these days.
Swsh just has way more popular pokemon
@@PokeBeardTCG that’s true, I’ll be interested to see when there’s more SIRs of those classic Pokemon.
Repeat question from a couple weeks ago: Are vintage Pokemon Topps cards and/or vintage Pokemon stickers good investments or worth grading at the very least?
I got you
Hey nice video 👍 I was wondering if I should grade my cards with PSA or bgs? I know some cards don’t have a significant price different for 10s but I’ve seen some that do. Just wondering where would be the best to grade my cards. Thank you
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Hey so I’ve been a collector my whole life I’m a college student. Recently one of my friends wanted to get in on the investment side and told me he wants me to invest some of his money in some cards whatever I think would be the next “big” cards the next rayquaza gold stars for example. We are trying to really make big bucks together. I know my stuff pretty well I stream on whatnot and have been on the “dime on the dollar” kinda seller buy way below market sell below market. I watch ur vids. Obviously alt arts are bound to go up long term due to their insane art and exclusivity. I like your approach to modern. I was wondering what u think some good vintage/mid era cards are to invest in. Whether that’s undervalued cards or cards that are just bound to keep going up exponentially. Interested to see what you have to say
Also is 770 for a case of Japanese 151 a good price???? Plz lmklmk. Want to start to invest in cases
Do you think the story art rares (gardevoir ex SV base, Pidgey line from Obsidian Flames, ect.) will bring in more money when sold as a set rather than individually?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Is the rayquaza vmax alt in a psa 10 likely to go up? It currently is only a little more expensive than raw but other alt art 10s are way higher do you think it will balance out or stay cheaper?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
It's crazy to think that back in 2016/2017 I bought these Mario/Luigi boxes for $50 per box and now they are above $4000 per box....
Congrats!
Do you think investing in mega evolution cards from XY era would be smart, considering the return of mega evolution in the new game? Amazing work on the videos and I'm always excited for the new ones!
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
damn I throw away all my bulk LOL cant be bothered to keep it around taking space or taking the time to separate it
I would buy it cheaply unorganized
Yea it does take a while
Do you think its worth investing in SIR's and alt arts that complete a set? Thinking of getting gouging fire and the 151 venusaur since down the line people are gonna want them to complete a set of the SIR along with the other 2 etc etc
Great question, this might be in this week's video
These are my favorite 🎉
Thank you brother
Hey man just subscribed, love ur videos , I’ve been a lover of Pokemon since I was a kid but just got back into it again , my first set getting back was paldean fates , regret that lol but I just completed the master set ! Should I hold on to it or sell it , what are your thoughts on the newer complete sets ? Thanks man
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Great to see you back at home safe from card party 🎉
Do you sell at any local markets/shows? And if I just started selling do you think they’re a good idea?
As always thanks for content cheers
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Hey pokebeard, I have a SGC 9.5 rayquaza vmax Alt art and I’m wondering if I should crack it and get it reslabbed at psa for the 10?
Great question, this might be in this week's video
Awesome! Thanks again for the commitment! Much love ❤️
Thank you for watching
do you think its worth to invest in any more twilight masquerade booster boxes to open and return sell on cards?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Question: Thoughts on the SWSH103 Blastoise promo? I think it's one of the most slept on promos out of all of Sword and Shield..
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Morning! What sets do you think are getting opened the most by collectors? Also do you see Japanese 151 being opened a ton too?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
I’m so exited for the shrouded fable. Do you think the greninja ex special illustration box is worth it to pre order. I’m loving the artwork on the greninja
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
What’s up brother Thanks for the videos and all the advice definitely coming in clutch!! So what’s your take on the SV sets individually worst to best investing wise??? Thanks as always. Whoop Whoop
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Would you rather invest in a Sealed Jungle Booster Pack, or a PSA 10 Shibuya Pikachu?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Poke beard on point
What do you think of the future of wotc zards 1st ed in psa 10s like Blaine’s zard dark zard shining zard
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Do you think it’s worth buying 1 vintage booster box or a case of modern booster box?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Is the Lugia v alt art from silver tempest investable if I’m buying it for 200$ as a single, I’m thinking of buying 3 of the singles im a binder collector not a graded collector
(Keep up the good work :) )
Great question, this might be in this week's video
Hey im getting back into pokemon and and im a big fan of you. My question is i bought a booster box of japanese 151 and paid 78 so i did overpay. I also bought pokemon celebrations 25th anniversary for 68 and i was gonna ask if those were good investments and how long would it take for them to go up in price.
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Id love some long form content. podcast when?
I've been thinking about it
I have a bunch 4pack crown zenith tins, should I just keep them sealed or open them.
Sealed
What do you think could prevent the 2025 Team Rocket set from being a banger like 151 has been?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
Is it a good idea to start buying Rockets original packs and singles /slabs from this point on?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
really enjoy your videos brother keep um coming
Thank you!
Hey great content. What are your thoughts on the Shinny Vault from Hidden Fates. Is it worth holding onto long-term. Thank you.
It's going up right now
Since I started collecting about a year ago the Umbreon Vmax alternate art(Moonbreon) has been on my wishlist. With it being so hard to pull I have decided to buy a single. My question is what are your thoughts on buying a non - English version for the price savings? If so Chinese or Korean with the Japanese version being higher than even the English on this card…
Drop this in my newest what if Wednesday
Just got a BGS 9.5 crystal zard holo. My personal grail. ❤
Congrats!
Question I have a dragonite 8.5 Beckett from fossil 1st edition what you think I can get for it?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
What do you think the future could look like for the harder to pull S&V special IR
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
@@PokeBeardTCG awesome dude thanks for replying, love your videos
Do you think shiny treasures ex has the potential to grow or will it be like shining fates?
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
if i had 800 dollars to do a short term investment less than 3months what would you reccoment i buy
Stocks
All hail the beard. What are your thoughts on the mew from Japanese 151? Artwork and thoughts on its value in the future.
Thank you! Great question. This might be in next week's video.
What would you do if you had 1 psa gem mint 10 paldean fates special illustration rare charizard and another one raw. Would you sell the psa 10 one and grade the other with beckett and then sell thm both. You said last week you were gunna use this question lol I'm reminding you!
I said I might use this question lol. I'm super backed up cuz of card party. Definitely grade the other one first and see what it gets before doing anything
@PokeBeardTCG okay I will grade it with beckett and see what I get I also have a 1st edition neo discovery umbreon I'm sending into beckett as well.
Would you recommend investing in Japanese 151 or English for long term?
Both lol
What are some cheaper Japanese promos under 150$
The detective Pikachu promo 098 that came with the Switch game is amazing cos it has the growlithe and the artwork is cute af - also there isn't an english equivalent
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
hello
Hello
I love your content and I love being apart of your membership ❤️ great questions and great answers. I cant wait to follow you on instagram 🥰 I collect vintage JP pre TCG cards. I would love to see you get into that one day
Thank you so much. I love those cards also. I'll try to throw them in soon
@@PokeBeardTCG awesome, I’m really happy to hear that! Not a lot of people collect them, so it’s nice to see someone enjoy those as well.
Love the channel thank you for the hard work and well of information! What's the best/safest way to buy booster boxes for a collector? I'm currently looking for fusion strike and chilling reigns but get sketched out by 3rd party deals
Great question. This might be in next week's video.
