I haven’t purchased a pack of Pokémon cards since I was a little kid. I’ve been seeing a lot of videos recently about people opening Pokémon card packs, and when I was at the grocery store yesterday, they had these Silver Tempest packs hanging there at the checkout as one of those impulse purchases. I decided to buy one because why not, and I ended up pulling that Lugia V alt art card. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with it, and so I went to UA-cam and found your video. I appreciate the information!
You should do a top 10 of the grading company grades in terms of value! A more in depth look at the difference between top grades across the different companies. In my collection I have a decent amount of different grading companies that I personally sent off just for the experience. And from those experiences, I would say according to market value, #1 : BGS Black label #2 : CGC perfect 10 #3 : BGS Gold Label #4 : HGA Perfect 10 #5 : PSA 10 #6 : CGC 10 #7 : BGS 9.5 #8 : SGC 10 #9 : CGC 9.5 #10:PSA 9 But would love to see your take and research backing it ! Would be super interesting. Also the value jumps between them are fascinating and to me have made the case to try for a black label if you believe the condition to be “perfect” because no matter the card the percentage value jump is INSANE! I mean can you imagine a black label 1st edition base set Charizard or illustrator or trophy card 🤯
For the most part CGC pristine 10 (3 10s and 1 9.5 sub grade) are valued much higher than PSA 10. CGC perfect 10 and Black Label 10 can be thought of as equals. Look at some prices for the perfect 10. I've got a few pristine 10s from CGC and they are about 2x-3x more expensive than the PSA 10. The main reason is PSA even says on their website they allow for wiggle room especially with centering for grading. So it's possible a PSA 10 is not even a CGC 9.5. though it is still possible the PSA 10 is similar in quality to a perfect 10 or black label. But odds are low because of PSA wiggle room allowance
I'll take drago (dislike) any day over v-star Alohan Vulpix (ultra) (hyper rare) and/or (if there's an alt art Alohan Vulpix). The set would have been OP if alt art HO-OH was in ST.
so this set came out not even a month ago... are these sellers grading them at the $100 mark? if so they are taking some Ls. even at the 50 mark i dont think they would get them bvack yet unless they have some special deal with psa which isnt fair of course lol
***For some reason, I didn’t include the Full Art Serena 🤦♂which would have probably landed on the list as the 4th most expensive***
thank you!!! was definitely wondering about that 🖤🖤
It’s ok I forgive you. But next time…..I will also probably forgive you
Thank you so much you almost made me rethink all my life decisions 😂😶

It's kinda nice to see some of my cards on the list.
I’m a fan of the lugia gold and the unknown least they are more affordable now.great vid as always.
5 boxes in and still hunting for that Lugia
I really love that unown alt art. So beautiful.
I love that card also! I’m glad they decided to give some love to other Pokémon instead of the usuals.
@@DominicWolfe same here I currently own two. It’s my favorite card from silver tempest.
Bought an UnownV in a SGC 10 for $150 on EBay a few days ago. Not a PSA 10 but still felt like a deal….and looks amazing in the slab!
Congratulations agian on 20k amazing video man!!
Never change man, you are the best
Thanks to you I know which cards to get graded🔥
I pulled the trainer blaziken brotha stoked about that 😊 thanks for the video ❤
What are the odds of pulling the alternate art cards I haven't even pulled one yet and I buy etbs blister packs of every set that has come out
ill be the first to say it those gold and rainbow lugia vstar sold for cheap IMO! they have better art than the 2-5 counts
Well I just opened 200 Silver Tempest and no Lugia. I did get 2 Regidrago and 1 Unown al arts though. Got a bunch of FA trainers too.
Love the weekly updates
Wonderful stuff as always
You should do an episode on graded booster packs sometime!

Its kinda wild that the old gen pokemon carrying these new sets 😅😅
Pretty much
im surprised u didn't put candice in top 10 considering the japanese psa 10 goes for way more
No serena?
Still upset they did a drago and not a HooH alt art
For real tho- would have made this set twice as good

You should look at English sales, seem to be way lower prices.
I sold my rainbow lugia for 210
i have 7 out of 10 cards + doubles
Lmao I get a rush when I see there’s a new vid up
Damn,did you not include Serena ? Its gotta be over 150
Somehow she evaded my searches…🤔 she would have been on the list for sure!
@@Top10Pokemon good to know,im about to try and grade a few myself 😁
👌💯
Yooooo
