Can we talk about how the energy cards in this set are just more appealing than most normal holo cards in english?
Yes! I feel guilty opening more of that set because I'm only missing ch rares and secret rares from that set (I have the full base set). But getting those hollow eneries in every pack and basically guaranteed 3 ch rares, 1 ch V and 1 secret rare/full art trainer makes me tempted to open more. ( Have opened 4 booster boxes already though
My thoughts exactly, still worth the buy at $70 currently on Amazon. I’m in!
@@vailb91 i got 2 cases and im stoked !
Ngl, I feel like something should’ve gotten sold from the portfolio to have more liquid money to fund these products otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose of a rags to riches project. If you simply add money to any portfolio, yea it goes without saying that it’ll be a better portfolio. It’s alright if I’m alone on this thought, but that’s just my 2 cents.
You should always dollar cost average. Or in this case, buy more when you can. Whether it's pokemon collecting or buying stocks, you should always invest a certain % of your paycheck given you don't need it to survive!
@@flippineddy627 most people live paycheck to paycheck and run up their credit cards, living out of their means. i agree with you, but most people cant fathom this....
seriously guys this is a no brainer....some of the best sets from the english swsh era all jam packed into one set, this set is epic and will be a monumental investment imo...especially here in the Americas
It's already gone up in price since he made his last VMAX climax video a month ago.
I picked up a case for 1,000 dollars, the case now sells for 1,300. People are catching on to this set. So happy to have gotten it at its cheapest point because I don't see it ever returning there now that people are hopping back on.
@@fj7509 The rise in price is mainly due to the Polemon Center in Japan being out of stock of Vmax Climax BB. There were still booster boxes on it few weeks ago but now it's all gone. Hopefully there is one last print, similarly to what they did for Shiny Star V.
Was on the fence with this or just putting in a ton of preorders for the charizard box. Got in preorders on 8-12 Charizard boxes in the end. There is just to much product. Also got 2 cases with the upcoming set.
@@Pokifizz 8-12 well we know you a re seller
@@kylegray3838 nah.
Jake over here being our supervisor telling us we messed up with our choices... lmao 🤣 jk 😜 your awesome 👌
I bought some Lost Abyss and pulled an Alt art! I’m getting super interested in Japanese cards. Best places to buy VMax Climax? What about the best place to buy Beauty Looking Back? Thanks in advance!
with a very limit budget im wondering if i should buy one or two of these or a preorder of lost orgin booster box
I feel like a lot of the appeal to Pokémon fans is how little some of us know about buying it for the best value. Very happy to see some opened :)
Omg that galar friends full art made me so tempted to open yet another of my Vmax sealed boxes! (Have 6 more sealed ones, opened 4 so far)
“We are talking about some serious hot hands here!” “My hands are shaking right now. This is the dream right here” -Jakes commentary remains undefeated!
Though it was released end of 2021, I want to consider it as the best set that you can buy in 2022 out of all japanese and english sets released. Not a single set comes anywhere close to Vmax Climax. Super fun to open and awesome investment. And there is still the potential of some cards being exclusie to that set since many did not come to english yet.
Most of them are releasing in English soon…. 😞
Upon release Vmax Climax box was 5500 Yen on Amazon. About a week or two after this video released I happen to want to order, it was 7300. I didn't see this video and I didn't make an order, and now it's 9300Yen as of 11 Oct 2022. Yikes.
Thanks Jake for this great video. 👍 I must have missed the season 1 community investment but I am glad to able to follow in on season 2. I will be looking through your spreadsheet to see how season 1 went.
Nice pulls! At this point what do you think is better for opening eevee heroes or vmax climax?
This is such a fun series. I love this concept. Thanks Jake for letting us pick a portfolio
been waiting for this one good stuff!
Can we talk about the poncho Eevee good buy or hold off ?
Does anyone know what kind of shelf that is in the background
I’m glad I listened to you last time. The person I bought these from already increased their price by 30%
Hey Jake! Great video as always. Was wondering where you got those three posters in the back of Naoki Saito artwork? Would love to grab a few myself! Thanks
Where would you recommend buying one? Cheapest on eBay seems to be like $68 plus tax right now
Would like to know about your opinion on buying sealed products on eBay. Is it worth the risk and how do you know if it's fake or not. Love the channel by the way 👍
it pains me that he doesnt cut the packs open
Jake I signed up for buyee but I can't bid on so.e item well alot of items any help
How and where do you sell bulk? I feel like the value of bulk has tanked hard
I pulled galar friends full art and Gloria full art from 2 vmax climax boxes I opened one after the other.
14:20 you're guaranteed 1 CSR per box, but getting an SR/UR in the same box can happen occasionally
I don’t think it’s urgent, same thing was said for shiny star v but you can still pick that up for a decent price. You’ll be able to get this set for a similar price 6 months from now
Hi Jake, I see you put 2$ or 3$ price tags on a lot of these V and Vmax cards, easily bringing the box back to its sealed value. As someone who lives in Europe where do you recommend I sell these types of cards? Are they going to tank in value one they go out of rotation?
Where do you get 50 dollar climax booster box?
These are my favorite videos that you make so glad it's not over!
I bought a case of this for under 1k and I couldn't help but open half of them. Still missing a ton of cards and didn't hit my case card. Did get one god pack that was sick. I love opening them. But last 2 I opened got nothing but doubles. Idk if I should hold onto all my bulk doubles I got sooo many now
Just started collecting Japanse cards! They are of so much better quality! And the sets are way smaller so (on the secrets) it is even possible to complete them :)! Thanks for the video!
Great video, been really enjoying your fantastic reviews 😀 👍
How do I join the community portfolio? Sounds interesting
I'm just telling you this because I already bought all I could with the little money I have lol. If you're interested in investing and even if you aren't this is beyond a no-brainer, buy a couple of boxes before it's too late, you won't regret it.
Totally agree! I also have ordered some more booster boxes 2 days ago after I have seen that the price climbed more than 15$ in not even 1 week
where can i find them?
TwicebakedJake would a sealed box of this set be valuable a few years from now?
Wow the Japanese cards are just sooo beautiful! They look waaay nicer than the regular. I just pre-ordered my first Japnese booster box - the SWSH Paradigm Trigger Booster Box! Any good?
Hey man anyway you could guid me in the right direction for buying a box of these??
I panic-purchased 13 more vmax climax boxes last week LOL I know Ill regret not having enough some day! They're a no brainer.
A box used to be $49.99 on Amazon. It’s now sitting at $83 a box. I regret not buying some before the price went up.
I noticed this last night. The market is about to bring this box up to the 150 - 200 range by the next 4 - 5 months. I have several of them here and have opened countless ones. The pulls are almost the same after you've opened a few boxes outside of the 1 CSR card that is like 225 - 260 range. They are blowing up in price.
If you look hard enough you can still find some deals. Just bought 3 from a seller who had it at 173 for all 3 so that’s pretty much $60 a box after tax and shipping. I thinks it’s a great price still to be honest.
I cant believe you pulled one of the best OMG!!!! WOW Community Portfolio has the craziest luck
This is an epic series. I actually work in VC. It seems like you must have some finance experience too?
Yeah, it's just better to treat this as if I would for a proper investment portfolio
Where are you getting $50 a box for vmax climax? Lowest I got is like $61
I'm commented here because I've started watching these videos recently as I've become interested in getting into pokemon in the last few weeks. Well I went out to buy my first few packs, opting to start with a trainers toolkit and a radiant eevee box. Opened my first pack ever which was from the trainers tool kit and pulled an Umbreon vmax alt art which apparently is worth around $350 right now? Feels like really lucky pull!
Was on the fence about grabbing a few boxes but after jake pulled that galar friends i knew i had to scoop some up!
the "S" in CSR doesnt stand for Secret. CSR = Character Super Rare. You only get one secret rare. Not a minimum of one, just one. IF there happens to be more than one, then that's a factory issue when filling the packs lol we need to stop telling people, there's a chance of getting more than one when it's never intentional
Great video. Thanks for your hard work
Good thing I’ve got this entire set complete… awesome video❕
Do you think the Charizard UPC will more then double in a year?
it will double in 1 week:)
People selling it on eBay already for $300
@@derekk2300 Bro that's insane 🤯
the product isnt even out yet.
people paying 2x MSRP+ before any significant number of these have gone up for preorder are just scaring themselves.
Should I go for Evee hero’s or vmax climax for now I’m leaning towards Evee hero’s but what y’all think
Where can I find these for $50? I usually find these for around $60-$70
Hi jake, i started collecting again in May and your videos are so helpful and the quality of your videos are great. Thank you. I need your advice on something, i am thinking of buying my first slabbed card. Of course its a base set charizard. I can afford PSA 8 and have a reliable buyer. I was wondering will the price of this card ever dip or get more? Just wondering. The buyers asking for £500 but its a newly graded card in the new slab etc. also in the uk psa grades r harder to do and more expensive. Whats your take?
Thanks.
I think that's a fine price and card to get. A year and a half ago PSA 8s were going for $2k. Prices have dipped since the hype died down but Charizard cards are always easy trades
@@TwicebakedJake your a legend thank you for replying mate! Appreciate it 👊🏼
This set is awesome I'm still waiting on the 3 boxes I ordered can't wait
Where do you get them for 50 each?
The shoppers drugmart that is in the city my grandmother lives in is my Hotspot for cards.
Not best prices
But out of the 3 times I've bought cards I've got a secret rare every time. The first time I got 1 gold 1 rainbow. I literally scared my Nana because I was so excited
Where can I buy these
2 vmax climax for 100$? More like 150$ no? Love ur videos as always 😁
yeah he always does this in his videos lmao I guess to make the investments look better but he always undercuts market value
I have a feeling sealed boxes of Vmax Climax will go up in time like All Stars
I got 2 I’m not opening, just chilling on my shelf
Where can we purchase this booster box ?
Lol still not able to get that base set charizard.
I got a god back last weekend from this set : )
I bought that last month it only gave me Prof kukui's wife with 4 print lines horizontal and vertical, It felt like I threw my money straight in the trash can.
BRO! You always get the pulls for the community lol the Galar Friends pull was nuts!
Such a fun concept for a video! I was wondering where you pick up these vmax climax boxes?
You can pick them up on Amazon, eBay, StockX, and from many online Japanese cars shops
I’m gonna have to buy a few of these boxes now
Where do you get the posters?
They were sold from the Pokemon center website
Why are the pull rates so good for these packs
Best set of the last 10 years
Just went through your Amazon link for the Japanese cards, so excited!!!!
How did you sell your bulk?
The trainer posters in the back look so nice! I Might have to pick some up for myself
I have 2 coming for myself
cant wait for this to come back
Prices really dropped on the 2021 McDonald’s Pikachu holos.
The energies in this set are beautiful!
Always appreciate your enthusiasm on a great pull, Jake! Awesome pack opening experience!
This was a fun one!
Pulled the tag team Red vs Blue from my cosmic eclipse pack in my Arceus V collection box. Was a good day
Maybe you should start grading some of the raw cards to possibly add value
Should I get this set in 2023? Or get Vatar Universe? 🧐
Love this series. Thanks Jake
Anyone know where i can get a couple of these cheap?
I have to get some of these booster boxes!
So with the portfolio, how do investors get paid out?
When we have a liquidity event
I pulled a god pack with 5 CHR and CSR. I can't believe it too. One of them is pikachu vmax CSR
Way to go!! Congrats on that incredible Full Art pull!! 🎆🎆
Vmax climax is $50 in US? Its around £60/$71 here in the UK
Prices have definitely been rising
@twicebakedjake hey Jake, I really really enjoy your cards to add to your collection under ($x) videos. Can you pretty please post more of these because I noticed alot of the cards you mentioned have gone up drastically since you posted the video. Ie. the gentlemen Pikachu card. Those videos are amazing and there's nothing like them on UA-cam. Maybe next one could be cards under 20$ to add to your collection? Can't wait to watch the next installment of this series. Thx for the great content.
Pro tip to enjoy content even more: put on 1.5-1.75x speed.
Can I go ahead and suggest we invest in two boxes of this year's holiday set, seeing how good VMAX Climax has sustained its' GOATed status?
Lol, bought a psa 10 for the illustrator zard for like 40 bucks.. there is way too many of those cards
VMAX Climax is a definite pick up. I opened most of my Shiny Star V and regret not keeping more unopened.
so lucky congrats. It literally took me 20 boxes of VMAX Climax to pull this card lol
I've opened so many boxes and don't have it either.I've been going for the Marnie Morpeko VUNION and I have given up. This box is going up in price big time so I won't be opening any more.
Opened two boxes of VMAX climax and my gosh, what a fun set. Glad the prices came down! Over paid for my first one, $130 back last December smh. Second one only cost me $55 lmao
Where did you buy it from if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah same question, where'd you buy one at the $55 price?
@@shalimmontes2567 it was from Amazon. The price is all over the place tho, so you kind of have to be lucky when you check. I got pinged from a Twitter page. $55 box was bought late June/ early July
Great pulls!
How did you get two Vmax Climax booster boxes for $100? Your link to amazon shows them at 88. Stockx shows 68 at the lowest. 70+ On ebay. LCS selling for 110 (LOL). Did you buy these earlier on, are you fooling yourself, or are you fooling us?
Hey Jake, just wondering where you got those boxes for $50 each? I usually see them for around $60-70 each online qq
That’s just retail price. He must of got them from Pokémon Center Japan before it sold out. $60 - $70 is a good price. If you look hard enough it might find a cheaper price.
Yeah, I got mine for approx 70 dolars too. Keeping it sealed rn.
Bought 10 boxes last week for £570, which is about $660 🙌
Anyone know where to pick this up for cheap
I would get it but I don’t have the money
have a few sealed boxes in the collection 🔥
