Cosmic eclipse is by far the best and most appealing set. So much variety and card types not really seen before. Absolutely love that set, probably my favorite of all time
should stock up on d21 pokeball tins, they have one cosmic, one vivid voltage and one rebel clash for 15 euros (idk about dollars), these cosmic packs sell for 15-20 euros per pack, thats ur money back allready. then vivid and rebelcalsh sell for 3-6 euros each. means one 6 pack of these d21 tins is about 35 euro profit :) or you can open the free packs
No way, after watching you rank the SWSH video I thought to myself “I sure wish he did a sun and moon one” and here we are, saving this video for when I eat dinner.
After 2 years My son and I have just completed our master set of Hidden Fates. We love Xy Evolutions because my son pulling that Charizard reprint and he showed me. At first I thought it was fake, then we went to the store and bought a binder and some sleeves. That was August of 2019.
Suprised cosmic eclipse didn’t come closer to HF, the character cards and the possibility of a reverse holo slot hit makes this set so strong in my opinion.
TEAM UP fans unite! It is absolutely my favorite S&M set! I'm a BIG believer in the full art Sabrina's Suggestion and Erika's Hospitality! Going to add those to a 'best cards under $100' video I'm making soon!
YEEES!!! It’s my favorite too!!! I pulled the rainbow rare pikachu zekrom out of a freaking true steel collections box that had 1 team up pack. That’s the rarest card in the set so that was sooooo lucky!!!
I didn't start collecting again until Sword n Shield era so missed the train on a lot of these sets. Really excited to open some hidden fates tins I found at Target this week. Glad the best set is still being reprinted.
Haha I’m early! Jake let me inform you about the release of ultra Prism. There was a Cyrus Prism Card that did not say the correct words. I don’t remember what it was supposed to say, but Pokemon had to recall all first release Ultra Prism products because of that one misprint. I don’t why they should care, but it was their decision. And honestly speaking, I’m actually glad they did it!
Aaaaw Crimson Invasion is one of my favorite sun and moon sets. I am trying to get every card and so far I have 6/8 regular gx’s, 4/11 full art cards and 2/13 secret rates.
Hmm maybe add a section for largest amount of playable cards for next time? Staples that see play in lots of decks like Pikarom or Volcanion or Welder for example.
Shining Legends is my favorite set! My son doesn’t know it yet, but I just bought the last card to complete it. I generally like the smaller sets, because they are easier to complete.
I liked your Sword and shield video and this one is awesome too. I just got into it for several reasons. The obvious ones and the fun behind it bringing me back to childhood and teenager years. The most awesome part about it though is that I get to have fun with my daughter collecting and opening Pokémon products. She loves it and when we pull great or even decent cards her reaction does it all for me and makes it worth it. The 2.5 hours waiting in lines sucks and trying to time certain retailers is challenging but our love for doing something we both enjoy is worth it. Keep up the great work and these type of videos are great to help us newer people make better decisions.
I’ve been collecting since the end of the ruby/sapphire sets, but I took a break from the tcg right when sun + moon dropped. Got back into it when unified minds came out, and I can’t describe how happy I am that I picked up the latias/latios for $20 at a regional
New subscriber here ! Appreciate how informative your videos are . Not over doing it with too much energy yet not boring . Seen quite a bit of your videos , keep at it bro
Cosmic Eclipse is my favorite, so many fun cards. I still have one sealed pack and its hard not to peek inside. Hidden Fates was fun but we got fatigued on opening them. There was about a six month period of time Hidden Fates was everywhere. Cosmic eclipse came and went..
Great review! Aside for my disagreement about Hidden Fates (its one of my least favorite sets ever released) this was a great comparison and ranking video.
I havent collected Pokemon cards since 2020 when I purchased a set of Sun & Moon Cosmic Eclipse during covid. Thought it would be cool to get back into it now and thought ill start where I left off (collecting Cosmic Eclipse) and its pretty much not possible to get a pack on the shelvs in any store in the UK and the booster packs are like £25 for 10 cards online. Think I'll have to give up on that one and start Scarlet & Violet.
Nice video, I've been waiting for this! Pretty accurate overall, the only disagreement I have is swapping Burning Shadows with Shining Legends. Outstanding analysis once again, Jakey boy!
Very informative video, Jake. I was stunned when you said that sealed Team Up booster boxes (a set that is still in standard) go for $1,000. Any set that's less than 3-4 years old should not be sold for that much.
Fun little story: I've opened 2 guardians rising packs and the first one i opened and had rainbow rare Sylveon. I wouldve never bought the card on my own but by luck of the draw its one of my favorite pulls!
Crimson I enjoy better than guardian rising. Crimson had a bunch of awesome chase cards. I’m a huge gyarados fan though. Also some great trainer cards.
jake! i think a great video idea would be to make a video on times where you actually DIDNT see a return on an investment, or simply sold something that became super valuable in the future. for example, i pulled a test tub mewtwo back when shining legends came out for $50 and its haunted me ever since 😃
So I am commenting while the video is on 6th place, Something told me that the top 5 was gonna be Hidden Fates and the 4 tag team sets. Great break down, you should do it more often with all the different set runs.
2019 was such a great year for pokemon card collectors. you could purchase products for normal prices. i pulled the gengar & mimkyu rainbow, mewtu & mew fullart and shiny charizard gx and still got them all ^^ hidden fates is definitely the best set since years
Hey would you be able to do a video on all the promo cards from movies, cereal boxes , events , Pokémon center etc ?? That would be cool to see what cards have been given out for “free”
In 2017 when I first started collecting I bought a box that had like 8 packs of shining legends in it and I pulled the mewtwo in the tube and shining rayquaza and I pulled shining jirachi
I think Ultra Prism is suupppper underrated, I love the whe cards in that set. There's a guy here in my country that's selling a 72 pack box and I want to open it for my channel so bad, but damn it's expensive
I don't really know why Detective Pikachu isn't the worst set. It has close to no cards, and none of the cards are worth anything besides maybe the Charizard. But, I do agree with the others. Nice Vid Jake!
I still get a lot of crimson invasion in tin sets but I'll keep them sealed because they might be $20 a pack when they get discontinued. I think Detective pikachu will have very mainstream interest. The 2nd movie is coming out soon
1. Hidden Fates 2. Shining Legends 3. Cosmic Eclipse 4. Team Up There are 4 entire sets that feature Tag Team cards, and only 1 set since 2002 that features Shining cards. Shining cards are infinitely cooler than Tag Team cards to me because they date back to Wizards of the Coast era cards. Shining Mew, Shining Ho-Oh, Shining Rayquaza, Shining Jirachi, and Test Tube Mewtwo are, in my opinion, better than all Tag Team sets combined.
I must object; I think you underestimated the significance of Burning Shadows and how it is the first set with rainbow rares. I think the long run trajectory is more like this: 1. Hidden Fates 2. Team Up 3. Cosmic Eclipse 4. Unbroken Bonds 5. Shining Legends 6. Burning Shadows 7. Unified Minds I honestly think Burning Shadows could beat out UNB and COE, Shining Legends is one im really unsure about tho. I dont think COE and UNB are bad sets, I just think Burning Shadows may prove to have more long-term significance.
Thanks for the video Jake, as always! Love the rankings videos you come out with 👊🏼
I'm waiting for the day Pat Flynn comments on my videos lol! I was so hyped to see this!
@@RelaxedRocket I agree, wholeheartedly
Yes yes shining legends
@@RelaxedRocket ima watch one of your videos after this video, I’ll let you know how you did on my rating🧐
@@RelaxedRocket Yo thanks so much!
Crimson invasion drove game stores out of business. That says it all right there
A series of this for every pokemon era would be pretty dope
Cosmic eclipse is by far the best and most appealing set. So much variety and card types not really seen before. Absolutely love that set, probably my favorite of all time
should stock up on d21 pokeball tins, they have one cosmic, one vivid voltage and one rebel clash for 15 euros (idk about dollars), these cosmic packs sell for 15-20 euros per pack, thats ur money back allready. then vivid and rebelcalsh sell for 3-6 euros each. means one 6 pack of these d21 tins is about 35 euro profit :) or you can open the free packs
Great set, but I feel the pull rate wasn’t too good
Jake looking like a broadcaster. “BREAKING NEWs- Studies show you need to be BAKED while talking about Pokemon Cards.”😂😂 great content brotha!
Man I wish I was there for 2019. That is probably the best year in terms of sets in my opinion.
Oh yeah. Seeing hidden fates products on store shelves was amazing. Unlike today where you cant even find pokemon products at stores anymore :(
@@javo10ful try going to a target 10 mins before open. They are getting huge amounts of Hidden fates tins!
No way, after watching you rank the SWSH video I thought to myself “I sure wish he did a sun and moon one” and here we are, saving this video for when I eat dinner.
I guess you decided to get rid of the twicebaked bangs, the new cut gets a BGS black label 10/10.
Ahhhh a bavarian check shirt... It suits you very well!
I got my alt. Blastoise and Piplup card and it’s probably my favorite of any card I own.
i really appreciate the video increment descriptions so i can skip to what im really interested in hearing about! thank you!
I only come to this channel when I need to know about somethings involving pokemon. You're the only person I can trust with the stuff
I put my eggs in his basket and I've never felt so comfortable with my eggs.
@@daveczarnik6017 right but when it comes to the cards to buy and stuff he is usually right
This is a great idea of a series I’d love you to go and do really old sets and talk about the psa prices too, great video!
After 2 years My son and I have just completed our master set of Hidden Fates. We love Xy Evolutions because my son pulling that Charizard reprint and he showed me. At first I thought it was fake, then we went to the store and bought a binder and some sleeves. That was August of 2019.
Solid video 👌🏻 also lost count of how many times you said “solid” 😂
Your supposed to take a shot lol
I like how you’re always changing your middle shelf with different cards. Great idea. Keep it up
Suprised cosmic eclipse didn’t come closer to HF, the character cards and the possibility of a reverse holo slot hit makes this set so strong in my opinion.
I came back into the hobby with Hidden fates/shining legends stocked to the peak, was an amazing time to return.
TEAM UP fans unite! It is absolutely my favorite S&M set! I'm a BIG believer in the full art Sabrina's Suggestion and Erika's Hospitality! Going to add those to a 'best cards under $100' video I'm making soon!
YEEES!!! It’s my favorite too!!! I pulled the rainbow rare pikachu zekrom out of a freaking true steel collections box that had 1 team up pack. That’s the rarest card in the set so that was sooooo lucky!!!
@@paulschiltz112 wow no way! congrats on that! Also I think the ETB might be the best looking of all time
For players, team upnwas the start of the power creep
@@jaxu i'm not a player so i'm unaware of that, but that's cool ha
@@OurPokemonJourney agreed! the ETB is so cool
I didn't start collecting again until Sword n Shield era so missed the train on a lot of these sets. Really excited to open some hidden fates tins I found at Target this week. Glad the best set is still being reprinted.
Wish I was collecting during sun and moon era, probably my top era of all time 😭
Sun & Moon base is the most nostalgic set for me, because I started to play the tcg with the base sun & moon theme decks!
Haha I’m early!
Jake let me inform you about the release of ultra Prism. There was a Cyrus Prism Card that did not say the correct words. I don’t remember what it was supposed to say, but Pokemon had to recall all first release Ultra Prism products because of that one misprint. I don’t why they should care, but it was their decision.

Aaaaw Crimson Invasion is one of my favorite sun and moon sets. I am trying to get every card and so far I have 6/8 regular gx’s, 4/11 full art cards and 2/13 secret rates.
Now I have all 8 regular gx’s, 5/11 full arts, and 6/13 secret rares
love unified and hidden fates def my favorite
COSMIC ECLIPSE my goodness is so good! even the full art pokemon with their trainer is great. Cant get enough
Man the channel is growingggg 👀
Hmm maybe add a section for largest amount of playable cards for next time? Staples that see play in lots of decks like Pikarom or Volcanion or Welder for example.
I think any set where you can get a hit in the reverse spot is A+ collectable. General rule of thumb
Soon as I start eyeing SM sets to purchase, Jake makes a video about it now the price will go up D:
Thanks Jake! Now I got a list of all the sun and moon era to collect the booster boxes! Already got 1/3 of all the sun and moon collection.
Seeing Dragon Majesty that low hurts, but at least the rest of the list is agreeable. I like ranking the series sets like this. It adds to the fun.
Shining Legends is my favorite set! My son doesn’t know it yet, but I just bought the last card to complete it. I generally like the smaller sets, because they are easier to complete.
Solid list. Was super bummed about dragon majesty and ultra prism so low. Those gold cards are fire. XY NEXT!
I liked your Sword and shield video and this one is awesome too. I just got into it for several reasons. The obvious ones and the fun behind it bringing me back to childhood and teenager years. The most awesome part about it though is that I get to have fun with my daughter collecting and opening Pokémon products.

I just bought some hidden fates now let's get baked!
I’ve been collecting since the end of the ruby/sapphire sets, but I took a break from the tcg right when sun + moon dropped. Got back into it when unified minds came out, and I can’t describe how happy I am that I picked up the latias/latios for $20 at a regional
My favorite video yet. Great review and grading system. Lots of information ❤️❤️
Very informative jake 👍 definitely agree with having the tag team sets rank highly.
the end of sun and moon was insane
Hidden Fates is my favorite set, it will most likely always be.
New subscriber here ! Appreciate how informative your videos are . Not over doing it with too much energy yet not boring . Seen quite a bit of your videos , keep at it bro
Cosmic Eclipse is my favorite, so many fun cards. I still have one sealed pack and its hard not to peek inside.
Hidden Fates was fun but we got fatigued on opening them. There was about a six month period of time Hidden Fates was everywhere. Cosmic eclipse came and went..
Great review!
Aside for my disagreement about Hidden Fates (its one of my least favorite sets ever released) this was a great comparison and ranking video.
I agree 100% with your rankings... I can never have enough of any tag team set or hidden fates
Totally agree about dragon majesty just tough tough pulls
I havent collected Pokemon cards since 2020 when I purchased a set of Sun & Moon Cosmic Eclipse during covid. Thought it would be cool to get back into it now and thought ill start where I left off (collecting Cosmic Eclipse) and its pretty much not possible to get a pack on the shelvs in any store in the UK and the booster packs are like £25 for 10 cards online. Think I'll have to give up on that one and start Scarlet & Violet.
Nice video, I've been waiting for this! Pretty accurate overall, the only disagreement I have is swapping Burning Shadows with Shining Legends. Outstanding analysis once again, Jakey boy!
The first ever pack of lost thunder that I opened from the darkrai umbreon collection box I pulled the RR lugia
Very informative video, Jake. I was stunned when you said that sealed Team Up booster boxes (a set that is still in standard) go for $1,000. Any set that's less than 3-4 years old should not be sold for that much.
Nice analysis & smart recommendations, learning a lot with you. Following the journey, thanks for the great work
Hidden Fates Elite Trainer boxes undervalued scoop them up now
Amazing work! Appreciate this video and all content you've created. Greatly appreciate it and love to see what's next.
Keep up the good work!
Fun little story: I've opened 2 guardians rising packs and the first one i opened and had rainbow rare Sylveon. I wouldve never bought the card on my own but by luck of the draw its one of my favorite pulls!
This is one of your best and most informative videos.
Outstanding! Great vid Jake, thank you.
Great content again Jake !
Love the new cut bro
thank u for ur vids bro !! I recently came back into opening booster packs and your channel has helped me a lot
Jake loving the clean hair cut bro
Open up some Crimson Invasion so we can all have a look at the set! 🙏
Jake looking swole in that fit! I see that Pokemon was not the only one making gains! 💪
Crimson I enjoy better than guardian rising. Crimson had a bunch of awesome chase cards. I’m a huge gyarados fan though. Also some great trainer cards.
Great content as always Jake, very informative.
jake! i think a great video idea would be to make a video on times where you actually DIDNT see a return on an investment, or simply sold something that became super valuable in the future. for example, i pulled a test tub mewtwo back when shining legends came out for $50 and its haunted me ever since 😃
Love your shirt man! Good video too 😁
Overall I agree with your list. Very well put together and excellent presentation as always!! Keep crushing it!
Great video Jake
Love the video thanks for the advice! Also another chase card in team up would be the hyper pikarom!
I just saw 50 elite trainer boxes of the crimson invasion and no one was picking it up at target.
Yeah they were going for below MSRP for the longest time
Great vid man. A lot of useful and relevant information
I would love a video on your poncho Pikachu boxes and how much u bought them for compared to what their worth now
So I am commenting while the video is on 6th place, Something told me that the top 5 was gonna be Hidden Fates and the 4 tag team sets. Great break down, you should do it more often with all the different set runs.
very informational! Good job :*
Please make a ranked video on XY-sets!
Awhile back my little brother and I went and bought a couple shining legends packs (definitely under ten) and pulled two test tube mewtwos
Your videos are always informative and helpful good keep up the good work
XY next! Love cosmic eclipse so muccchhhh
Thanks a lot, I needed this video. I was hoping that you would do it!
"It actually has the lowest score in terms of varie."
Looks like Jake is becoming a slang trendsetter.
I like your cut, G!
Do these type of videos more often please!!!
2019 was such a great year for pokemon card collectors. you could purchase products for normal prices. i pulled the gengar & mimkyu rainbow, mewtu & mew fullart and shiny charizard gx and still got them all ^^ hidden fates is definitely the best set since years

Another great video
Really nice breakdown! Soo many good sets lol
Loved this! I like tag teams 💖
I am one of the "someones" that pushed for this video - very excited to see the list!
i'm a crack addict when it comes to Hidden Fates. I planned on just keeping one for my collection sealed but i ended up opening one last week.
I think Ultra Prism is suupppper underrated, I love the whe cards in that set. There's a guy here in my country that's selling a 72 pack box and I want to open it for my channel so bad, but damn it's expensive

I did a video similar to this a month ago and our lists are very similar haha. This was a cool video thank you!
Nevermind Bills Analysis, I need to hear Jake's Analysis. Always on point bro👍🏼
ive opened maybe 60 shining legends packs, and got the mewtube and shining rayquaza lol
1. Hidden Fates 2. Shining Legends 3. Cosmic Eclipse 4. Team Up
