Pokeoz, without blowing smoke, you are one of the main personalities that really fueled my investor mind when it comes to Pokemon tcg. I had maybe 6 booster boxes and a couple ETB on display and then I came across your vids.... Really can't comprehend how impactful your content is, especially some of your earlier vids. I know you hear it a lot but your delivery on the UA-cam platform is beyond your sub count & is why I became a member. I'm looking back at maybe 60 booster boxes (English and Japanese) and the growth I've seen in just 8 months is very promising.
In a short time you are creating a fantastic community. I think you were the fundamental push to start. The videos are so real and direct that they pull you in. No special effects, no news that will save the world but the ability to convey competence and passion. You passed them on to me and now they are in play with all of you. Congratulations and greetings to the whole community.
Just bought 3 Brilliant Stars Booster Boxes at $143 USD / 2 Fusion Strike Booster Boxes at $130 USD / 3 Lost Origin Booster Boxes at $143 / some ETB of Chilling Reign / 20 sleeves packs of Evo skies and looking to get some more Evo Skies ETBS + random SWSH sleeves packs. I think SWSH will do really well in the future. Stocking up now before the boom
Dude my little nephew opened like 2 packs of fusion strike Italian when my family vacationed there and pulled the espeon vmax in Italian ! I pulled all non holos :) Lol
Totally agree on being more positive. The games are selling well, the art works are great, and the competitive TCG is still going strong. Also, congrats on 11k subscribers. I just hope to hit 1k some day.
Fully agree regarding S&V. I actually love many IR and SIR artworks, but the easy pull rate is dragging single prices down. Even compared to SWSH alt art, SIR are maybe twice or three time less rare/easier to pull. So these prices definitely make sense. Personally I hope they will change pull rates in future sets
I went in hard on 151 Japanese booster boxes as the main starting point to my Pokémon investment journey and I was told to watch for reprints and I thought this set is so good even if they have reprints it not gonna matter 5+ years from now so I have over 25 boxes and a sealed case. Only problem is not opening any as this set is soooo good lol. 100% you are major reference for me as I’m new to the game and watching your content has guided me well
SV era have the best artwork Pokémon has ever released. Mitsuhiro Arita (one of the OG artists) made a triple masterpiece with his Blastoise Evolution line in 151. Illustration cards are primo, love this era 🤘
Definitely agree, the majority is usually wrong. Got told to sell my ES because of reprint fears but I held. Do your due diligence, and make your own decision. Don’t get peer pressured.
Not trying to change the topic here :) , but Lorcana First chapter bbox is rising as well and while it is still available, the price is not too high for now. We still don´t know whether this is going to have a stable player base or is this only a source of nostalgia for collectors, but as a first set of a new game, which will be around for at least few years, this is also an interesting opportunity to consider - what do you think?
I don't really collect a whole heap of pokemon, but I am confident that the tcg is & will neverrrrrr go anywhere. Cmon guys, it's pokemon for goodness sake. It's the king of the tcg. Good video mate.
Curious to see where evolving skies will be in a year, with the lucky deal I got on the two boxes I have I’m already over 100% gains. Even looking at the market price from that time to now though they’re up around 25%, the boxes are over $500 on TCG player.
My perspective: S&V has great art..no denying that. But what I feel it's lacking is any structure, depth in terms of vintage included and pull rates seem very easy from my accounts. As a long term collector from base set on and off over the years I'm a loyal 151 fan. Sword and shield included many of these over the different sets and pushed alot of the sets not the artwork itself...what I feel s&v is lacking is the Pokémon draw factor...it has the artwork quality but cheestrings as Pokémon, silly names and some childish designs who does that relate too? Doesn't me as a 30 year old..might do younger kids. Paldean fates tins are a prime example...3 tin designs which one sells out all the time?..you've guessed it Charizard. The other two are discounted and sitting. This relates to the sets in my opinion alot of the Pokémon included in sets that doesn't create a buzz and spark but more leave it and forget. S&V 151 backs UK that...arguably the best performance yet in scarlet and violet and it's all nostalgic 151 👍👍 S&V will take off when it finds a groove and throwback to create a buzz. Moonbreon alt art MK2 or gen 2 bring backs! Needs a kick up the arse 😂 Sorry for my uk rant haha. Much love
You see, this is why poke investors get hate. Do we need another Rayquaza or lugia set for the 10th time? I think scarlet and violet for the first time is prioritizing the new pokemon over the older pokemon and that's honestly great. Even though we literally just had 151. You can't rip on the new designs cuz you can do that for every single generation. Gen 1 literally has a pokeball with eye balls. Especially if we're supposed to be long term investing then S&V is perfect. The only people who want these brand new sets to go crazy right away are really just scalpers.
We also have the start of the new Pokémon series in 2 days should bring more hype to the hobby because I’ve heard from a lot of doubters that it’s actually a really good anime
I dont pay attention to clickbait videos. Other UA-camrs use it as a cheap way to get views. You dont need to clickbait because you work on having quality content 🤙 We are probably going to see a new rarity soon and the back half of S&V could be full of bangers.
The world economy's recovery is slow the baseline forecast is for global growth to slow from 3.5 percent in 2022 to 3.0 percent in 2023 and 2.9 percent in 2024, well below the historical (2000-19) average of 3.8 percent. If you think pokemon investing is dead, it's a really narrow and short term view.
No doubt, just picked up a case of each s&v set (minus 151) booster boxes for 70$/box. Worst case the kid has the cheapest opening in his future you can buy.
I guess negative stuff is better click bait. I don’t follow those people. I don’t have a lot of spare money so I’m just picking up a booster box a month. With latter half swsh I don’t think you can lose
Let things tank if thats what people wanna call it... I'LL BUY MORE AND MORE lol!!!! Dude, im in the USA. Where is the very best place to grab a few Japanese 151 boxes?? I don't trust people on ebay much these days. Removing the wrap, pulling the masterball and selling the rest. Scammers!!! Where can i buy legit sealed boxes of 151 ??
nice vid man! not sure if you take videosuggestions from viewers but could you do a vid about reprint cylce trends in the past and the difference in value between products like sleeved boosters and sealed displays? Ive also heard that displays have a guaranteed hit in them which would mean their pull rates and price per booster somewhat differ from normal boosters, is that true?
The more fear I sense, the more I buy. There's really no reason to be bearish in the short to mid term. US stock markets are rallying, interest rates are going to be cut because US government cannot afford current interests long term and their only way to reduce the astronomycal debt is to inflate the currency. This is historically extremely good for markets of all kinds, commodities like pokemon cards included. 3 to 5 years in we'll probably have to deal with a different situation but I think that by that time gains are going to be already realized. So let's be more NEGATIVE about pokemon investing, let the fear and doubts in so we can accumulate more at lower prices 😜 (I sent you an email about a deal I've got on my hands, would love to know your opinion about it✌)
“You make most of your money in a bear market, you just don’t realize it at the time.” - Shelby Cullom Davis Top video Michael👍 …did you watch the match last night, what a knock from Tim David!🏏
100% agree mate. Everyone’s talked down Bitcoin the past years but I kept buying at $15k US and look at it now. Same for Pokémon, everyone keeps trash talking about it right now, but that’s exactly my opportunity right now, I keep even buying more
Ok, now the only thing left to do is talk to my bank and tell them I need a hefty loan for all the massive GAINZ comming my way, Michael confirmed it!! 😂 but really, great video and I agree. Most doomsayers focus on singles in my experience. If the singles population is greater, their price goes down but sealed price goes up since it is less available in the market.
Hey man, do you have a discord? I wanted to ask a question im hesitant about investing because it will be my first venture into the pokemon buying and selling market, would really appreciate if i get your opnion

Do you have fav Japanese sets? I've got a few, but I rarely see people talking about them.
@@IneptCardCollector definitely 151 and vstar universe of the last 18 months or so. 151 is really jumping in price though.
Thanks heaps again mate. Really appreciate it 🤝
couldnt agree more!!! “to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful"
Exactly right mate!

100% agree about S&V artwork! Very impressive, especially in Japanese with the insane textures
Definitely mate!

Jeez, I really envy you. Here in italy 175USD is considered a good price for Fusion Strike booster boxes. Supply just sucks.
Dude my little nephew opened like 2 packs of fusion strike Italian when my family vacationed there and pulled the espeon vmax in Italian ! I pulled all non holos :)
Lol
@@dirtsquids9854 Sick luck, italian cards are also more expensive since it's a niche market with less product circulating
Some great pick ups there mate. They'll do really well long term!
Totally agree on being more positive. The games are selling well, the art works are great, and the competitive TCG is still going strong.
Also, congrats on 11k subscribers. I just hope to hit 1k some day.
Thanks heaps man! I'll have to have a look at your videos!

Yeah or at least tier it more 👌

Great evolution line!
Thanks for comment about the cricket - feel like you were looking at me when you said that .
Hahaha sorry mate 😅
Definitely agree, the majority is usually wrong. Got told to sell my ES because of reprint fears but I held. Do your due diligence, and make your own decision. Don’t get peer pressured.
Great advice mate!
Bought 4 Japanese 151 booster boxes 👀 and 1 Paldean evolved
Japanese 151 is 😍

You’ve a pretty valid point on the First Chapter of Lorcana 👍
If you've got a bit of spare cash it's probably worth the risk for an investment and a fun product!
I don't really collect a whole heap of pokemon, but I am confident that the tcg is & will neverrrrrr go anywhere. Cmon guys, it's pokemon for goodness sake. It's the king of the tcg. Good video mate.
Thanks mate!
Sword and shield alternate arts will always be the golden era!
Definitely man!

Sorry for my uk rant haha. Much love
I hear what you're saying mate. When are we getting a Rayquaza or a Lugia 😎

I can't wait to see what the 2nd half of scarlet and violet brings mate 👌

Exactly right mate, thanks for the facts!
What acrylic cases do you use for your booster boxes??
Ultra pro man!
@@pokeoz91 thank you! 🙏
Scarlet violet sets are doomed? Sure, pls sell me ur sealed stuff under market price all you naysayers 😂
Haha love it!
No doubt, just picked up a case of each s&v set (minus 151) booster boxes for 70$/box. Worst case the kid has the cheapest opening in his future you can buy.
@@jondalton2654 damn m8, that's a STEAL. I'd get cases if it'd 70 a box 😍
I guess negative stuff is better click bait. I don’t follow those people. I don’t have a lot of spare money so I’m just picking up a booster box a month. With latter half swsh I don’t think you can lose
That's awesome mate. A booster box a month, you're still going to have 12 sweet boxes come the end of the year 👌
They look at it like it's a depreciating asset. I look at it like it's a great time to buy more of what I like and believe in.
6:57 bingo!!
Exactly right mate!
Exactly right mate!
Just discovered you. Now I’m hooked

Let things tank if thats what people wanna call it... I'LL BUY MORE AND MORE lol!!!!
Dude, im in the USA. Where is the very best place to grab a few Japanese 151 boxes?? I don't trust people on ebay much these days. Removing the wrap, pulling the masterball and selling the rest. Scammers!!! Where can i buy legit sealed boxes of 151 ??
I purchased over 30 boxes via marketplace and they were plastic sealed and I’ve randomly opened up 4 boxes since and all legit
I've been getting mine either through ebay or the local lgs who did me some great deals 👌
nice vid man! not sure if you take videosuggestions from viewers but could you do a vid about reprint cylce trends in the past and the difference in value between products like sleeved boosters and sealed displays?

Exactly right 👌
Looking at DBZ and OP. What are your thoughts on DBZ FB01?

Pokemon is such a cultural phenomenon i think the only way it can die is if the pokemon company messes up biiiiiig time, or a global catastrophe 🤷♂️
Even if the TCG stops, it's not going to affect the prices in my opinion.
Great thanks man 👍 auz for the win
