Great analysis, love to see where the communities' heads are at. I'd be stoked to see this same sort of breakdown for the specialty sets, maybe with added analysis on what products stand to do the best in regards to investing in collection boxes, etb's or sleeved packs/blisters.
I think every specialty set would be in buy a case. 151, CZ, Paldean Fates except shrouded fable. Shrouded Fable is dogwater. The play for these are sealed booster bundle displays, booster bundles and then ETBs.
I would move Obsidian flames to 'buy a box' over SV base. Imo every single SV set is better than the first 4 SWSH. It has Ninetails, Clefa, Scizor, and Gloom IRs that are slept on and any of these clear early SWSH (and Charizard SIR of course)
Interesting, can you name one booster box that you could buy 7 of with the same amount of money that has outperformed ES this year? I’m sure you’ll be able to name a lot.
I’d say it’s more likely for surging sparks at £135 to get to £200 in the next couple months than evolving skies to get to £1500, I could use other sets as an example from sword and shield, I just think evolving skies will climb slower as a percentage
@@Gsclark4 Right so, as stated in the video, my ranking was based on CURRENT pricing. Surging Sparks booster boxes aren't $100 USD anymore and would have been ranked higher if it were. That said, I absolutely disagree with the premise that Surging Sparks at $200 a box is going to outperform Evolving Skies at $925 over the next 5-10 years.
Can you blow up the picture of the case (so we can see the name) and provide a name of it too on the picture. Some of us newbie don't know all the boxes yet so its will be nice to know what they are called.
I’m replying on my phone so it’s difficult for me as well, but I’ve given you the ranking for the most important ones that you should consider. S-Tier: Evolving Skies A-Tier: chilling reign, Fusion strike, Lost origin, paldea evolved, temporal forces, paradox rift B tier: Surging sparks, silver tempest, twilight masquerade, brilliant stars, astral radiance
I got a box of osiben flames from gamestop at $160 dumb I know but I pulled the Charizard ex worth $65 got it graded ag gamestop and came back a psa 10 worth $350 dont get me wrong I got lucky but I wouldn't knock another box from that set
Escept there is something in Obsidian Flames. A lot more than in these other ´dogwater´ sets. Some beautiful IR´s and a great Charizard. It´s going up for a reason mate ; )
Boosters are top tier but dont rule out boxes and tins for specialty sets. Since there is no booster box for those (CZ, 151, PF) other items tend to do well.
@@PokeProfitWhy specifically booster boxes? Like if I could get a fusion strike 3 pack collections, at an amazing deal, should I not do that and keep them sealed?
@@brianlikeaboss They outperform other investments historically, are easier to store/ship, and are much more liquid. Stay tuned for today's video. I'm going to talk about a lot of this.
Anyone opening a $1k ES box expecting to get anything good has some serious gambling issues or a serious lack of a frontal lobe. We don’t do that here.
Say bro you can barely see the pictures of which is which even in the thumbnail. Thank you for posting and making a vid for us , but visual the video could be better. Wish ya the best!
I bought them a few months ago when they were MSRP on the Pokémon Center. Things like this I would only buy if I could get them at market price and AFTER the booster box sells out on the PC
I’m trying to find things to nitpick… I MIGHT have BS over ST idk where I’d put TWM in that scenario. Honestly, really solid list. I need to get some Paldea… Maybe AR. Meh.
@@PokeProfit Nope. I believe there a script you can run that read must read something in the website API/coding that lists the stock. Point being you should see it out of stock in the next week - 3 weeks max
In the UK we can only buy one box at a time which is really annoying. I’m just buying a brilliant stars box every day and getting the free promo. I disagree with it being a mid tier set - I think it’s fire but people are sleeping on it for some reason… charizards, arceus, eeveelutions, legendary birds gold cards. This set it honestly top tier but people are overlooking it for now. The hype when it first came out was insane
Just too many better sets from SWSH for it to be higher up. But like I said, if I were in the UK and could buy at MSRP like yourself, I definitely would have had it higher. Keep milking that booster box till it sells out
Sword & Shield base dont sleep on that! think thats the best base set weve had for a long while until the S&V base set came out 👊👊 enjoyed the video 👍👍
Why would I want to put all of my money into the most overrated SV set? Just because of the Greninja? 1 card? Not worth it. I like value and a spread of cards with great artwork like PE.
@ i wish! i just made it a point to buy one case every release. So i prepare every 3 months for $679 case purchase. Comes out to $7.50 a day. So if people just cut the energy drink and coffee out they can 2x their money instead of giving it away to starbucks.
Got tired of missing the boat, finally bit the bullet and bought two boxes of ES time to hide them from my greedy paws

Fair enough. I’m just an OF hater
I got paradox rift 83 after tax during black friday. They had a 30% off store wide sale and gobbled it all up. Best deal of blackfriday
What store ?
lol don’t put any money into ES. You missed the boat, get on the next one.
I don't know about that.
Evolving skies going to 2k next year
People said that about ES at $400 too, and the same thing about Team Up at $1k.
You're dreaming if you think 1k is Evolving Skies ceiling if Team Up can hit 2-3k 😂.
There is no next Evolving Skies.
Bad take, you’d be better getting 7 boosters of a different set rather than 1 evolving skies the percentage you’d gain would be much higher.

This video was clearly about long term investments, but fair enough.
I’m assuming you’re buying lots of Surging Sparks boxes at $200 USD?
My point is even more valid for long term hold. I bought a load at £100-£120 on release. I buy all my sets at the bottom price to reduce risk.

Good list. I'm going for paradox rift and temporal forces.
I’ve increased my position in both of those as well recently
In your opinion: case of temporal or case of twilight? @@PokeProfit
@@bambimolester1311 Depends on the buy price.
@@PokeProfit same price? 127 USD per box(770 for case)
@@bambimolester1311 Same price I'm going with TM
Should I open the ES box or keep it sealed?

@@PokeProfit To each their own. I like it, although I did pull the SIR Charizard. That helps.
Good advice, When I first started investing, I bought tons of specialty boxes and tins. Could have bought Boosters
Boosters definitely should be the biggest part of the investment IMO. I made the same mistake starting out. It was a good lesson though.

Evolving Skies being 1k is a goofy move. You can just cough up a bit more for the good cards and avoid risking 1k for a bad pull rate set.
Anyone opening a $1k ES box expecting to get anything good has some serious gambling issues or a serious lack of a frontal lobe.
We don’t do that here.
Can’t really see the Pics of the boxes
Yeah I think TWM will follow the same patterns as Lost Origin, prob a reprint next year and will go up in like 2 years, just like LOR
Ohh I commented before the end. Do the specialties too!!! I can’t imagine how much fun pack openings of 151 and CZ will be in 5 yrs 🔥
I’ll do the specialty sets this week more than likely
do u think collect japanese or english edition card which one is better
Depends what you mean by better but I only deal with English.
opened a box of ES years ago for 160 now making my first sealed investment in another box of ES hopefully for 850-910 usd
Say bro you can barely see the pictures of which is which even in the thumbnail. Thank you for posting and making a vid for us , but visual the video could be better. Wish ya the best!
Good list. I'm going for SWSH12 & SV02.
Are fusion strike blisters good investments?
Yep if u can get them for $10 or less
I bought them a few months ago when they were MSRP on the Pokémon Center. Things like this I would only buy if I could get them at market price and AFTER the booster box sells out on the PC
@ thank you so much!!! Just got 20 packs from Pokemon Center
I’m trying to find things to nitpick… I MIGHT have BS over ST idk where I’d put TWM in that scenario. Honestly, really solid list. I need to get some Paldea… Maybe AR. Meh.
Buy into Paldea!! Such a solid set
A discord member had a script to check stock and I believe few days ago ST was around 6k left. Assuming it's even less now
It's 2.9k now. Supply is dwindling down. Could be gone by Christmas.
Its under 3k now, will be gone in a week or two
Dude has insider numbers on PC supply? 🤔

Now silver tempest sold out on PC.
Invest in the divorced dads card set 🚀

Put your money into Twilight. At most it will have a SMALL reprint and it’s totally the underdog of the better sets.
Stock up on 151 and Paldean fates booster bundles

How can it? It wont have a booster box
