Hey Vert much love for you. But with your logic in selling your ETBs where market is at to “make money” because you lose money elsewhere but criticize where the market is at is a little hypocritical. If you’re criticizing the very market you’re also taking advantage of means you’re also contributing to this “mess” people are complaining about. For me I personally don’t care. This drama over shiny cardboard is nonsensical to me. People should approach this hobby and every hobby as a hobby and not life or death. You don’t have to own something to appreciate it!
If Pokémon can’t print to meet demand because demand is too high, then we need to be discussing a possible set delay. Idk how they plan to max out printing prismatic, journey, and rocket without opening more print facilities
they need to cut sets. push out team rocket and black and whit by a month each and focus on like 5-6 sets a year instead of like 8 which clearly isnt enough time to print what they need.
@@mech0pDelays are not necessary, there’s only very recently been a huge spike in demand. Most of early scarlet and violet wasn’t very popular so they have been accounting for that demand. They can and will print enough, they’ve done it before. Also, they don’t make eight sets in a year, the last three years have been six or less, some of them being specialty sets that are usually a little smaller. This is how it’s been for more than a decade.
Nah selling product that is “available”immediately for profit is scalping full stop. The fact you said you were selling your PC ETBs was hella disheartening.
Its hypocritical of pokerev to make a video about the problems of prismatic evolution when he sells packs over retail, the packs mystery boxes and being able to open 200+ packs casually
@BearcatThunder depends how long he keeps it up bc this is the first time I seen him sell for almost retail. But from his lottery of "pokerev mystery packs" he's def out just to make a buck
@bearcatthunder he’s selling it for 3.99 to draw the same people to potentially buy other products on his site. It’s customer acquisition and retention 101. You lose money in one area to boost sales in another
The funny thing about GameStop with their two item limit- when surging Sparks came out, the GameStop closest to my house, only got in one case of ETB‘s for store retail… limit of two won’t go far….
What do you mean Pokemon doesn't do this? They put out this same message for 151 and Van Gogh promo and the demand was never met and pritning was never done, especially for the promos which were sold out in 15min on PC website.
The community is filled to the brim with new people. I'd guess nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of the entire "community" right now is people with under 6 months of collecting. New people have no context or clue as to what is happening, they're just mad at "scalpers" and "investors". It's a "non-expert" problem. People who have no idea what they are talking about are becoming geniuses overnight.
I just left GameStop and they only got 12 poster collection boxes and limited people to 1 box per person. Fucking bull shit, I waited for 4 hours just to get a single $10 box. 😑
As a player, there’s no way I can keep going because there’s going to be so many players I’ll go against where my deck won’t match up with others that have the newer sets. As a collector, I can’t justify buying newer cards or packs anymore. It’s so sad the hobby is going this way.
Its really sad that were at a point where we cant even go in and just buy the new set of pokemon cards... Literal greed is the reason we cant and its sad.
The only ones to blame here is the people that are actually paying those crazy prices. if none one buy then they will end up selling at cost. DOnt know why try to blame others now why then been doing this with other collections
I want to be mad at Rev cause it boosts scalping, but at the same time he's selling it at less than gamestop sells it for. Sure you lose the code and get it opened already but that's still pretty cool.
All this printing for prismatic??? What about all the other sets that NEED reprints??? This isn’t gonna do anything…how will they have time to print new sets if they focus on this?? Demand is way too much rn.
Honestly, something I wanna see happen is ebay capping their resale % like they're supposed to. Resellers, as per ebay rules, arent supposed to sell over a certain % of the original value but then ebay claims that they can't limit it bc they cant determine a worth of something versus is base value so they just dont enforce the resellers when they really should be. Also I find that pokerev is selling these packs that low for two reasons. 1. So buyers can get then at msrp when he has distro and 2. So it skews the market hopefully enough that resell values arent as high as $20 per pack.
My Walmart stocked it today, and there was nothing but empty boxes. You could tell they just restocked as well, and nothing was gone but the prismatic.
My Target had a long line of people waiting outside before it opened. Then they went to the Best Buy down the street. They were pissed that Best Buy didn’t have any for them to buy.
This probably inadvertently is going to set printing back for a lot of sets for the rest of the year. Possible Quality issue on the horizon but fingers crossed it’s a bump in the road
Not going to help one bit, all reseller gonna sell all their inventory, wait for the next wave buy all that up,sell some of that, wait if they print more and buy that up 2 😂
Yup, unless everyone as a whole stops paying ridiculous prices then they will continue to profit, if everyone stopped buying from them and just waits patiently/accepts the concept of missing out on a set, it could be a nice hole in their pockets
problem is the online bots, a store posted just the binders and no packs for sale and bots bought them up in 2 minutes... just waiting for the owners of the bots to cancel those orders, i hope there was a no cancel pre order policy for those scumbags.
I took the exact same stance with PRE, I bought an additional 2x ETB's, Poster Collection's, Sylveon Tech Sticker Collection's and Eevee 2-Pack Blister's to hold onto in my sealed collection. I'll still be opening 1x of every product at least and having fun, but who the hell wouldn't recoup some finances to later invest back into another set or two? Does that make me a scalper? I feel those complaining are broke asf and can't afford product anyway? Did genuine fans miss out on the initial wave of PRE or did the new wave of investors miss out on PRE? 🤔 This was a valid take brother! ❤✌
It's not even that, it's the also the fact that pretty much everything for this set is just ridiculously expensive for absolutely no reason. 150$ for one ETB?? Those ETBs should come with 15-20 packs at those prices it's a ripoff! Honestly at that price it'd be more fun to go buy the Terapagos premium box, atleast that has a decent amount of packs. Not to mention that the pull rates for this set have been nerfed to shxt as well, honestly why even bother with this set? Just because of one card that you might pull after opening 1k packs? Is it really worth it then?? NO, this set was ruined before it was launched imho.
I know what you mean. I got some product at MSRP with the intention of ripping most of it, and putting aside 1 ETB in the sealed collection, but its hard to justify ripping them at these prices.
Scalpers and investors who use bots and buy everything off the shelf in one go do the most direct damage. What also can contribute to the problem is the pokemon company's decisions and certain streamers that overhype sets, complaining about value/rates, open god knows how many packs before release date, and have scalper like behaviors. I hate to say it, but Pokrev fits some of those categories. but unlike other social media heads. He tries to do the right thing by doing the 4 pack sale and calling out the problem. Others and do nothing or act like scalpers. Also, one more thing. At the end of the day, kids want to participate, too. If a kid wants pokemon cards, there is only one box left, and their parents are okay with buying them, i will let them have it. I think everyone needs to realize that.
I’m a collector too and I get reselling after you buy. If I can wait in line and get it at retail then open one for myself and sell the other at market and get to open packs and get free cards out of the deal I absolutely will. I can collect more if I can ultimately open a small amount of everything for free and resell the rest.
@ thank you for speaking on these things a lot of us appreciate it! I wouldn’t be able to maintain myself in the hobby at all or even have my channel and be able to enjoy opening things if I wasn’t patient and just bought things at retail and made sure to cover my ass to resell enough at market value.
Anyone who thinks TPC didnt engineer this for the Hype is crazy. It allows them to sell a giant amount of product on their own website at MSRP. They make more money because theyre cutting out the distributor and the retailer, and they keep the demand high for future sets meaning they can rinse and repeat. It also means they dont have to warehouse a giant amount of product which also saves them money.
I said the same thing. They have been printing this whole time and have a ton already printed and ready to go. It’s the fucking Pokémon company! You think they don’t know how many people wanted this set? Gtfo
The negativity in this hobby is insane right now. Just a bunch of people at each other’s throats constantly because they’re salty. How anyone is attacking Rev is wild
Shiny Vert needs money to put the heating on, needs to wear his hats to keep warm. Joking, wishing you the best for getting Pokémons infinite reprints 😅
Last time they made a post like this was for celebrations and they printed a ton of it people couldn’t give it away I hope it gets like that with this set no one will want it if it’s everywhere and no high value cards lol 😂
I never preorder, definitely glad I decided to preorder 10 booster boxes. Hopefully gamestop will have them tmrw & really hoping I can grab an ETB or 2
PokeRevs a G for that, but keep in mind the giveaways are just to get more subscribers and he probably made double what he spent just off the livestream/donations.
How are Gamestop delaying people's pre orders and still able to sell product at launch? How about satisfy peoples pre orders that you have taken payment for...wtf
I completely agree with you on selling your stuff. People act like your time isn't valuable and you don't deserve to make money off your time and financial investment. I'm selling my packs and I'm not trying to make a ton of profit. I'll probably open one etb for myself. I'm spending over $6 a pack and plan on selling well under market value. I'm not gonna make much profit maybe 15-20%. And if your mad about that you don't have to buy and that's OK too. But like you Vert I have a business and if I don't make any money I won't have a business. Love your content keep up the good work!
Not gonna lie, biggg fan of the channel! You’re the only Poke personality on UA-cam that cusses and keeps it raw lol. But this take is extremely tone deaf makes you look like the 1%… please read all the comments, watch your video, then read the comments again and soul search a little… Kissing Pokerev’s ass because he sold booster packs for his cost doesn’t make him a saint, it’s him doing damage control (look at 99% of his comments). Again, love the channel, but let’s read the room…
Walmart was stocking today 4 ETBS prismatic thoes scalpers was pushing and shouting about less products. I just happened to be at the store cuz restock is usually on Thursday. I was hoping to get the deal at game stop i pre order 2 of each. They said thats all I could get. I wanted to spend $250 and get $25 off no deal. Atlest I get something.
Every once in a while i totta say something.... Vert sent me cards with litteral chunks missing. Look les like someone chewed pieces off the cares. Sent pics to "wupport"...no response...not a good look ror a "business"
Now there'll be people hiring people to go in and buy two for them.. the new minors at a liquor shop lol Also, PokeRev is a saint for doing this. 🙌 And shoutout to you for the coverage!
Dude, I get what you're saying about the business side of things Vert. They are your ETBs you do what you need to do. I'm not in the business of selling Pokemon, but I get having to gain capital for a business. I have nothing but good vibes for you Brother.😊
I started buying when I got my first job so about 3 months ago I started getting into it near when shrouded fable came out so I agree the demand and players are going up
Sell them vert when you do this at high but don't give af when you sell them at msrp or something there's no love to out weigh the negativity do you man can't keep anyone happy
The only thing I think is shitty with the poketubers is that they are able to get there hands on massive amounts of product and yes I understand that they sell some at msrp to people watching their channel and they do give aways from time to time but most of that product they either rip and keep for their personal collection or they store away thousands of dollars of sealed product for the future when normal people in the hobby can’t get even a few single packs. And I mean hey we all gotta play the hand we’re dealt but most of those UA-camrs have the upper hand.
Well on the up an up I do hope that these packs come in quick, but why do I feel like that old man dangling a dollar bill infront of my face telling me ooooo you almost got it...
Sell your shit brother 😂. I wanna rip this set too lol. I pulled a demigod pack in japanese kinda want to try for an english one 😂. But definitely agree with you what Rev did in that break was awesome for his followers.
Maybe Pokemon company shouldn't be releasing new sets like every three months. Of course they can't keep up with demand when there's a new set to print every second.
Rev opened up 1000 packs when no one could get their hands on any, that was tone deaf. He did damage control afterwards with his video and the 3.99 packs. Careful using the R word too bro.
The problem with just open up another print shop is not that easy. That’s a lot of risk Pokémon has to take on if people decide they don’t like a set like they do, then pokemon could be sitting with an idle print shop.
Yes you are a collector but if you selling an etb for profit then you doing the act of flipping. So you are contributing to the problem. You can say all you want to justify it, but you are flipping regardless of the reason. Here is an anology: Its like saying well im stealing wallets from people because i am poor and struggling. While some people will see why you are stealing, you are still stealing. Same thing here, you are flipping a product, regardless of the reason.
@ShinyVert it's analogy for you trying to justify an action. Yet you made no counterpoint and just laughed. Again you are contributing to the problem whether you mean to or not
I’ve been talking about the same things that you went over with my buddies. Was completely shocked when people were just straight bashing pokerev and all these other people for running a business and then he does this. I’m not even a die hard pokerev fan, I’m just glad he did something to show he’s not like the scalpers out there. Great vid!
Dude just leave one box sealed in the collection and open the other one then grade both of the Eevee Promos in there the Pokemon Center Eevee promo will bring you enough money to pay for your box and then some
Enjoy the hobby and make money! Don’t feel bad, Pokemon just needs to meet the new demand. If people buy at a higher price, sell it! That’s their decision.
he opened early because hes a distributor and its his job? he isnt reselling at crazy value, hes helping the community with giveaways and is telling ppl not to buy these packs at ridiculous prices
@shadowfan115 no they just can't think, so instantly try to blame someone. If u applied any common sense u can clearly see he's not the issue and not hypocritical

Considering they released crown zenith until last month then this is going to be fine. I'm sure they did a small release to make it more hype.
Expect more quality issues! 😅

Two separate things. Great that rev sold packs at cost. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s still a major investor and should only blame pokemon
Yes the reason this is happening is because people are treating this trading card game as an investment opportunity rather than just collect.
@ if it wasn’t worth anything then no one would want to collect. This is not the investors fault.
@@javo10ful The investment part comes from collecting. Collectors pay that amount of money, why else would it be worth anything

Couldnt you say his pricing is a direct cause of the backlack? tbh ive never seen him do anything like this before or anyone else for that matter.

Print for 3 years. Crash this set to the ground
I started buying when I got my first job so about 3 months ago I started getting into it near when shrouded fable came out so I agree the demand and players are going up
congrats on the job homie welcome to the hobby
Bro PokeRev is a complete hypocrite lol.
Sell them vert when you do this at high but don't give af when you sell them at msrp or something there's no love to out weigh the negativity do you man can't keep anyone happy
Are you doing any breaks soon?
trying to get some product 😩😩
@ oof 😥
Best news for now in the hobby in awhile
@@ChilleBruh def doesn’t hurt
They need a reprint with hits
Pokerev got pull. He dropped that video and Pokemon responded 😂
literally lmaooo
@ and sell them damn ETBs!!! Don’t listen to these knuckleheads 🤣
I loved the Luigi box.
The only thing I think is shitty with the poketubers is that they are able to get there hands on massive amounts of product and yes I understand that they sell some at msrp to people watching their channel and they do give aways from time to time but most of that product they either rip and keep for their personal collection or they store away thousands of dollars of sealed product for the future when normal people in the hobby can’t get even a few single packs. And I mean hey we all gotta play the hand we’re dealt but most of those UA-camrs have the upper hand.
Well on the up an up I do hope that these packs come in quick, but why do I feel like that old man dangling a dollar bill infront of my face telling me ooooo you almost got it...
Sell your shit brother 😂. I wanna rip this set too lol. I pulled a demigod pack in japanese kinda want to try for an english one 😂. But definitely agree with you what Rev did in that break was awesome for his followers.
Maybe Pokemon company shouldn't be releasing new sets like every three months. Of course they can't keep up with demand when there's a new set to print every second.
Not the Luigi box! xD
Like any gamestop location will have more than 2 of each skew lol come on man
Rev opened up 1000 packs when no one could get their hands on any, that was tone deaf. He did damage control afterwards with his video and the 3.99 packs. Careful using the R word too bro.
I went 2-1 at my local challenge with gholdengo.
The problem with just open up another print shop is not that easy. That’s a lot of risk Pokémon has to take on if people decide they don’t like a set like they do, then pokemon could be sitting with an idle print shop.
When does this sentence end JFC!?!?!?!?! bahahahaha, you da man Vert!
@@John_K_85 lmfaooooo😂😂😂 appreciate u man
Great video! Thank you!
appreciate yall!!!
Yes you are a collector but if you selling an etb for profit then you doing the act of flipping. So you are contributing to the problem. You can say all you want to justify it, but you are flipping regardless of the reason. Here is an anology: Its like saying well im stealing wallets from people because i am poor and struggling. While some people will see why you are stealing, you are still stealing. Same thing here, you are flipping a product, regardless of the reason.
using stealing wallets as analogy for selling 2 etbs is genuinely crazy😂
@ShinyVert it's analogy for you trying to justify an action. Yet you made no counterpoint and just laughed. Again you are contributing to the problem whether you mean to or not
Evil Investors assemble !!!
No

I’ve been talking about the same things that you went over with my buddies. Was completely shocked when people were just straight bashing pokerev and all these other people for running a business and then he does this. I’m not even a die hard pokerev fan, I’m just glad he did something to show he’s not like the scalpers out there. Great vid!
Well said vert!
This is getting bad
Getting ? It’s been bad
bro cant read
Dude just leave one box sealed in the collection and open the other one then grade both of the Eevee Promos in there the Pokemon Center Eevee promo will bring you enough money to pay for your box and then some
Have you ever opened a PC etb? Those cards are never PSA 10 worthy.
Vertmas
R1cht3r63 A demon tho
this one took me out😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoy the hobby and make money! Don’t feel bad, Pokemon just needs to meet the new demand. If people buy at a higher price, sell it! That’s their decision.
FREE LUGIA
Our local scalper who stands on the corner just outside the LGS told me PokeRev is bad and to do not buy from him but get the best from Raul!
Hey vert! Hit me up. I may be able to help u out with getting stuff.
plz god help me😂
The reason people are going after Rev is he basically took allocations from actual card shops and he opened early
he opened early because hes a distributor and its his job? he isnt reselling at crazy value, hes helping the community with giveaways and is telling ppl not to buy these packs at ridiculous prices
@@baileyshearman591 again their mad at his hypocrisy but you do you I guess
@shadowfan115 no they just can't think, so instantly try to blame someone. If u applied any common sense u can clearly see he's not the issue and not hypocritical
Luigi 😂
Bro is valid in every aspect. Keep at it Vert!
