To be fair man the negativity is justified with how terrible the experience is for people just trying to casually buy some cards but I do like you trying to provide some cards that are affordable
I got back into the hobby when Pocket dropped, then I got the hankering for the real game again. Saw a bunch of Surging Sparks ETBs at Wal-Mart and was like "Oh cool, I might pick one of these up later." I have not seen a single Pokemon product at that store since. Two months. Literally nothing at all, completely wiped.
@@bransonallen2925 same for me ... i went back in november into pokemon card and all the good stuff like 151 and surging spark are out of stock everywhere so i started with obsidian flame and i have the full master set and i tryed to order prismatic évolution and journey together and after 1h everything was back order .... very frustrating i will collect old stuff😢
@@bransonallen2925 it really is terrible I’m sorry to hear you came back into this mess :( I wish you luck in finding some cards/product your searching for
What sucks is $80-$90 a JP booster isn’t affordable at all when you consider they retail at the Pokémon Center in Japan for like $35 💀 I legit can’t get that out of my head when I’m looking at these prices.
Market for JP is supposed to be 30-40$ outside of jp. 40 dollars over market is just too much but partly because prismatic is too expensive and sucks compared to terastal.
You can buy from Japan Pokemon Center if you have a Japanese shipping address but they have strict box limits if you're even lucky enough to get anything that's desirable. Unfortunately there's a huge markup placed on Japanese boxes by those in Japan who export overseas in large quantities.
Is their anyway to pay the 35 at a Japan shop and ship it ? I'd assume you would pay abit for shipping But at this point that still would make it cheaper than 80-90 lol ....help😂
@@LarryTheCableGuy-tv1jsyou can easily buy through a middle man, there's a lot of people who sell the Japanese boxes right now it's hard to find at reasonable cost but back when it first dropped in Japan you could still find it just slightly over market. Unfortunately no, the Pokemon center won't ship you the Japanese product unless you're cutting a huge retail deal
Just stay out of it for now. Let the hype die down, buy nothing unless it’s at retail. If I can’t get a single etb of prismatic or journey, I’m not buying it.
I mean vivid voltage is one of the sets that climbed really well and then was printed into the ground so that we could get a hold of it. Hopefully we see something towards that direction for the newer sets so that average people can actually enjoy the sets.
@@ReinfjellPaperHandshopefully the set actually sucks right now. Pokeballs do not equal illustrations 90$ a box for terstal doesnt sound bad at all. I won't buy anymore cuz I bought in at 50 and refuse to pay more but still
I collect mostly commons with cool art on them - some of my favorite illustrators being Komiya, Morii, Ito, Baba, Shibuzoh, et al. You can usually get the newest singles for under 10 cents each. Other than that, I think that now is the time to organize what we already have, check out local listings and garage sales, and just wait for the mini-boom to go away, likely about 6 months into the coming U.S. administration.
I stoped since the surging sparks. I can't go to the shop and just buy the product I want and enjoy to open packs. Last time, I went to some locals shops to buy surging sparks products and booster box were 199,99$ or 213,99$ and 2 weeks later they were 299,99$. What is that ? Why can't we just go buy some booster boxes at a decent price and have fun like we use to do it. I'm sad about it but now it is so trashy and so expensive. That's so sad.
I think there is still a lot of cool sets out that people can get their hands on for at or below MSRP. I'm taking advantage of this craziness by hunting for the older sets and I'm finding gems and having a lot of fun.
@@Pibs2525 Pokemon you yourself enjoy 🤷I've been collecting a couple of common Pokemon lately, there are many different card versions of them for cheap
@@Pibs2525I'd say a lot of the late swsh ppikachus are still affordable, sleepy mew was 5$ until a couple months ago, Giovanni's charisma sir is a card that will explode once 151 is gone

These are also good for investing i'd say. And then there are a bunch of illustration rares that go for pretty low money (especially the etb promos [without pc stamp]) and there are trainer gallery cards or other cards that are similar to illustration rares from previous sets
Its the era of vintage for me. I'll grab whatever modern I actually like that I happen to find but im only specifically hunting Vintage and Evolving Skies.😂
Cool shirt! We just have to be patient and price will fall when supply catches up with demand. We like to have the latest and great things at the current time, older sets in the SWSH eras are doing well and values are creeping up as well. This is normal human behaviour and it’s usually comes with a steep price. In this case, our bank account(s).
For only $120 I got 8 of the 9 Japanese art rare and SAR starters - just missing Charizard now. Still plenty of ways to enjoy collecting singles, and older packs at retail
Picked up Silver Tempest for $143 on PC. Sold out the next day. Try to get anything retail. Those blister packs will not last long with Fusion Strike inside. I’ll eat rice and beans if it means I can buy my cardboard.
Got most of the sword and shield etb for only a little abovr msrp (5-10$) up and been pretty happy with it. Just wait up for the current hype to go down and collect older set
Seems like those build & battle boxes are a great deal. There are some earlier S&V era boxes going for less than $20 all day on ebay. As someone who just wants to open packs and collect mons, sign me up.
At my local Walmart, everything Pokemon TCG was taken except for the V Battle decks and the Knockout Collection. They had hardly been touched while the rest of the shelves around them were bare. Are they not collectible or worth anything?
For booster boxes if you have the shop app idk if it’s because some store aren’t caught up with the market. But they have some boxes that I’ve purchased that are decently below market price.
Unsure if Hot Take as a long time collector/player, but history is repeating itself and waiting out this hype leads to incredible deals on Singles on Marketplace for those liquidating their cards a few weeks or a month after release due to not pulling the cards they wanted. I was able to get nearly all of Champion's Path (reverse holo's included) this way years ago during the similar hype and completed my master set binder for much less than the total cost it would've been to pull each hit out of products. I was incredibly lucky to pull 2 of the desired Rainbow Charizard Vmax out of 2 Hatterene V boxes to round out the set by trading 1 for the Shiny Charizard V. Spent less than $500 for the entire set and have never come close to this value for money ratio if it weren't for buying "opened" products that lacked chase cards. I waited until stock slowly came back after what felt like 2 years of cleaned shelves and didn't buy any overpriced products. Luckily during this time, limits were in retail stores for buying products the few products I bought were all I needed once stock returned! Patience is definitely the way to go during times like this.
Was excited to be around for the release of terastal festival as I was hoping that meant I could get a (Japanese) Umbreon SAR before they all reached Moonbreon price madness... NEVERMIND within the few weeks I had to wait for Pay Day they're already well on their way and out of my price range for a single 😩 It's not like I didn't expect it but it was so FAST damn
My local shop asked if I still had any sealed product. I had a couple of Shining Fates and Celebrations. They paid pretty strong for them. I wanted to have a little money available for these new sets coming out. It is getting harder to find any Pokemon in the “wild”.
temporal forces is the best cards, i am not buying because i dont rip but the SIR cards are some of if not the best as a set that the english tcg has ever put out
@@TwicebakedJake the tcg website is selling the booster boxes still, so any creator can open it. the texture in the jungles of the 3 ancient mons and circles of the future mons just looks so great together, reminds me of the 151 blastoise and venusaur

Hello, out of these 3 items to own. What one would you rather have? - Paldean Fates Pokémon Center edition ETB. - Evolving Skies ETB normal edition. - Charizard EX SIR 199/165 from 151 set.
Great!!! You’re giving scalpers the go ahead to buy out completely everything loooool poketubers trying to help with this type of videos but have complete opposite result.
I remember buying two boxes of Shining Fates for 100 A box, and Celebrations ETB for 100 a Box when it first came out, ITS ALWAYS THE SAME STORY, YOU UA-camRS BUILD HYPE AND FOMO AND THEN availability will be everywhere and everyone will move on.
Restocks are still happening, yes they sell out super fast, but at least it shows Pokemon is still prinitng sets like 151, surging sparks, Brilliant stars etc.
Gotta admit, got into the hobby to just collect. But now I'm into the card game and can barely find these new sets recently. Scalpers need cool it. People actually play this card game, too. 😅
The only set im really saving money for the first time is the team rocket set, besides that i never buy new ones, i always go for the ones that are in a good price and singles cards ofc
Why is everyone sleeping on astral radiance? the machamp, the misty/starmie tg, the origin formes, and a host of tons of other alt arts. We can still get the PC ETB on pokemon center.
Scarlet and violet base booster box is the play right now been picking them up for 120 bucks a box got a case recently sleeper set forsure will appreciate better than sword and shield base
Why do collectors like him not understand I NEED THE NEW SET TO PLAY THE DAM GAME.... Im getting wrecked out here cause i cant make new decks cause yall buying up eveyrthing like STOP IM TRYING TO PLAY AND WIN LOCALS
I hear you there brother but us players we just buy the singles 😂 nobody has time to waste money chasing cards. There will be plenty of single and we know 99% of the set will be cheap AF. The only cards that are expensive are chase cards that have nothing to do with the game. So don’t worry we will still be ok. No need to FOMO and stress as a player.
I love how stores that sell japanese products mark up there prices for those boxes and claim on twitter that they are against resellers/scalpers. Why aren't they selling Japanese boxes at retail ? I am not paying $100 for TF box lmao
Was on the site early looking. Within 2-4 weeks w.e. is mentioned in this video will be out of reach. The cards in those sets listed on pokemon center have sht pulls. Why would i care about pulling a 100$ machamp, 50$ trainer has the main chase. I wear my shoes, and i open my packs.
It's all a Poke-conspiracy for The Pokemon Company to sell off all their old sets. I'm not buying them now and I won't be buying them in the future. They won't gain as much value as these new sets.
In 2023 the hobby down all cards was under 20$ now there expensive is time to sell my dialga gold card now is 100$ and last year i was worried cuz my card drop to 25$
Last night i bought a Crown Zenith 5 pack tin with Zapados promk. Pulled a Leafeon VStar alt art, 1 illustration rare of Manaphy and Ditto, and a textured energy water card.
You don't get it nobody gets it Supply & demand Pokemon owns the printing press & prints a supply of booster packs to fill a demand. There is no market manipulations the investors hoard because of the demand. Whatever is kept is a drop in the bucket. You cannot understand the demand it's such a relentless force it cannot be fulfilled but they will print more to much demand to fill.
You are dead wrong anyone would of cased out on evolving skies at 1200 that bought cases for 125 lol I'm starting to think way less is left than ww think
Why are you all sad that there is high demand for your collections? It makes no sense. The tide rises all boats. You are literally making bank, and complaining about it. Would you want these cards if they were easy to find and own? If so, why don't you just print your own? It doesn't matter if they are real or not if all you care about is playing with them against friends or the art on the cards. Are you all just addicted to the thrill of gambeling and ripping packs?
To be fair man the negativity is justified with how terrible the experience is for people just trying to casually buy some cards but I do like you trying to provide some cards that are affordable

Would you want these cards if they were easy to find and own? If so, why don't you just print your own? It doesn't matter if they are real or not if all you care about is playing with them against friends or the art on the cards. Are you all just addicted to the thrill of gambeling and ripping packs?
I'll take what I can get besides Vivid Voltage and Astral Radiance
