I recently unpacked a Giratina VStar Secret from a Crown Zenith Sam's Club box, it's my most expensive card and was curious if you thought it would be a good one to hang onto for a while. Sad I didn't see ya at the card convention last weekend but keep up the great content!!
I would hold on to it or grade if you think it could get a 10! But I believe the decision you make should align with your goals as a collector and/or investor. Keep it for a while in your PC if it has given you some sentimental value. Or you could sell it for profit now/later depending when you’re hoping to make a potential return on it. Regardless it’s a great card from one of the greatest sets imo, and I personally will be holding onto the ones I’ve got in my PC for a while! :)
Absolutely hang onto it, the gold cards are severely undervalued right now and soon everyone is going to want them in their collection! You can grade it too if you think it’s a psa 10 contender
Hang onto it. Like others have said, it will mean a lot to you and will be great to hold onto. I also pulled one from a Sam's box along with the gold Palkia!
My love for pokemon both playing and collecting is at an all-time high right now. I love what the game has done for me. Your videos Pokebeard have helped in that as well. What a beautiful time to be in Pokemon. Thank You for such great content.
I just snagged the last bit of 151 from one of my LGS over the weekend. Two sealed cases of the Alakazam Ex boxes for $150 each! Feels like I hit the jackpot! Holding them long.
The venusaur $72+ sales are from Direct sellers that charge a premium. That box it shows on a card for sale is the cheapest Direct seller currently available and showed that price as well
Haven’t figured out how I feel about the new “rainbow borders” from an investment perspective. The SW&SH rainbow rare (although a full rainbow card) don’t seem to hold as much values to some of the other variants from the era. Only time will tell.
Love the video! How good of a buy is the Costco crown zenith bundle with the two SV tins at $72? Do you think the value is diminished by having to buy the tin?
I love your comment about how the teal mask ogerpon promo puts the SIRs to shame. Heard it a bunch but still makes me laugh lol. I’m with you for sure.
Wow $85 151 etb is crazy I'm still buying $55 from Walmart and $35 booster bundles... I can't understand why any of these are selling 30-50% over what stores are selling them for right now
What's the best thing to do with say a sun and moon collection box or older etb that hasn't really moved much in a long time? They're older more expensive but fluctuate way less than the more modern sets. I'd have thought older sets would slowly steadily grow. Sure some do but some will just never move and then all of a sudden jump. Strictly lack of availability and therfore sales or what else am I missing?
i thought stellar crown would be like twilight but they made the pulls and the chases easy to get, now with surging sparks they prob went that route cause its a bigger set to launch and a pikachu at that. so i bought 2 boosters 2 etb and 2 pc etb haha im a sucker.
Love your content, watch/listen to it whenever I'm driving to and from work. I dropped you an email recently, hopefully you saw it. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I get it and that many people are into them. For me, it's like the staff stamp promos and even the championship finalists stamps. I can't realistically get all the stamped so I don't collect any of them
great video man i’m so glad i invested in pc etbs i glad i ordered multiple of each opened a few but have multiple of each set sealed out away. sea & sky box definitely the best value for pack cost also. i got 12 so far
PokeNE is a pretty good source, been around for several years, has his own UA-cam and openly talks about his business. Outside of that your local card shops, make friends, find out if you trust them
You figure there's going to be a huge shortage of sealed 151 in the future? Singles are so expensive because 90% of the supply is sealed inside milennials closets lol
@spamtonto you do realize 151 etbs are already up 25%, Binder collection, alakazam, zapdos, and booster bundle have all already almost doubled. The pc etb has almost tripled and the set is still new. The reason the singles are okay value is because 151 pull rates aren't very good.
I think he means that he doesn't understand the appeal. I personally think that it's incredibly dumb to pay more for the exact same artwork. I'd rather save my money and buy the 50 cent japanese card. Then, take the money I saved and put it towards an actual rare card. Everyone is an investor now, with no one being an actual collector. People just want stuff that they think is going to make them money, regardless if it makes sense or not
it was cathartic hearing you quip at tcgplayer several times lol i kept hearing people saying they were great but i'm sketched out. way too many cards claiming NM when they're MP or worse. the prices are good but it only seems worthwhile if you like gambling... or you aren't looking for collector cards, something to play with or gift to a kid or fill out a binder for cheap etc. i definitely don't need commons to be mint or anything but i also don't want to gamble away cash on a card in terrible condition. i have a certain threshold of condition i want for my binder, otherwise i don't even WANT the card. no way i want to burn a dollar to get trash sent to me just to have to fight to get a refund....just not worth it....might as well spend an extra dollar on some ebay listing that actually shows me the damn card. they might still oversell the condition or take bad pictures that don't show the true condition accurately, but at least my odds are way better!
I’ve bought a TON of cards from TCGPlayer and have never had an issue with quality as of yet. I just make sure to buy from actual card shops with many reviews. Some of them I even look up to see that they are legit and know their stuff. But I do agree with you that I don’t know why having high res images isn’t a thing on TCGPlayer. Maybe because people post so much stuff

If it's your first chase card ever pulled. I say keep it forever.
Grade it

For sure
They did announce there will be a pikachu SAR art yet to be revealed

Kind of yes
Moonbreon made a 90 dll jump. Not sure why no one is talking about it.
It will be on my new market monday
Holding strong on my 151 cards! Telling u! This is the set to invest in
I agree
Thanks for content 🎉
Thank you for watching
I love your comment about how the teal mask ogerpon promo puts the SIRs to shame. Heard it a bunch but still makes me laugh lol. I’m with you for sure.
For sure
are the plastic wraps from the pokemon center promo cards acid free??
I would assume
Do you think the greninja sir from twilight masquerade is the next moonbreon?
No

Don't buy 35 booster bundles. We can get them for 28 all the time
@@PokeBeardTCG where?
Really liking that Mew statue, where can one get one? Love the market content each week btw
Ebay
Would you pick up the Greninja box for $30?
Yep
Great content as always! Glad I persevered with the PC ETB's as the S&S ones are pretty stale. But S&V has made up for it
Smart

No one wants ETBs, stop buying ETBs.

It's a smaller set
Do you think all of the rainbow cards are going to go up in value now that they aren’t making rainbow anymore
Maybe a tiny bit

You can get both cheaper for paradox rift.
@@Colossal322 i said that in the video
What exactly does the pokemon center stamp imbue? I get the slightly increased rarity, and therefore better price action, but I'm still not convinced
It’s exclusive to special etbs from their site that will sell out. The normal promos are mass mass produced and the stamped ones are limited.
I get it and that many people are into them. For me, it's like the staff stamp promos and even the championship finalists stamps. I can't realistically get all the stamped so I don't collect any of them
Thanks!
Thank you
There are two crown zenith etb’s at my Walmart just waiting to be bought. Very tempting
Do it lol
great video man i’m so glad i invested in pc etbs i glad i ordered multiple of each opened a few but have multiple of each set sealed out away. sea & sky box definitely the best value for pack cost also. i got 12 so far
Very nice!
I find the crown zenith etb at Meijer all the time but they are 65-70. So no one is buying them.
Way to spendy
Well how about another WHOOP WHOOP 🤙
😂
Love you poke beard ty
Love you too
What if wednesday- should i hold on to my Glaceon Vmax alt art🤨
Looks like there was a sale for mimikyu vmax tg from brilliant in psa10 for over $100?? Do one offs like this mean more could sell at that level?
Thank you!
Beard, what do you suggest should be done to people who still say "Pokeyman"?
Live and let live dude
It’s almost funny 20 years later. Say something they like incorrectly if it makes you feel better.
😂 they do that on purpose
Are you aware that the PC etb of crown zenith was the first with the double promo cards?
Yea but one wasn't stamped
@@PokeBeardTCG I could have sworn it had 2. Looks like I am mistaken
It's not stamped but it does come with an indicator that it's a pokemon center promo.
I have that charzarid in a psa 9 kinda sucks
Dam
Poor Shrouded Fable on life support. The Pecharunt stamped promo is doing okay too!!
😂
Man I had 5 evolving skies booster boxes and prob opened 25 etbs shoulda kept em all sealed
Awesome video as usual, thx for the infos brother
Thank you for commenting
thanks Beard
Thank you jason
Do you know where to buy from a trustworthy buyer booster box I'm sacred to get scammed?

So whenever i see Walmart have the 151 ETBs buy em then. Park City Walmart has had em like last week.
