I was actually really suprised when i was building my wotc collection. Full nm holo sets are relatively cheap(dont get trapped in the graded slab game 99% of the time its not worth it). Its when you get to aquapolis and skyridge when things get crazy. Just started my ex era collection... that is a whole different animal to get in nm. Like always great video!
I'm new to Collecting, just got serious about it this year! I discovered this channel over the weekend. Gotta say, it's refreshing to consume TCG content that's catered towards actual collectors and not kids just looking for pull reactions. Subbed, liked, notifications on! Looking forward to growing my Pokemon collection with y'all!
Always stoked to see this pop up in my feed. Keep it up! Love vintage but my favourite is the E-Card Series. Would love to have them all but sadly a lot of them are too expensive.
Hey guys! Your last video on Base Set Unlimited got me to have a focused goal. Close to having it all done. Jungle is my next goal, so super nice you guys put this out. For some of the high value cards, I am sourcing locally so I can see them first.
Awesome awesome video my dudes! I'm making this master set my 2023 New Years Plan numero uno! The eeveelutions in this set are some of my faves!! Thank you for this. P.S. you can make the entire Celebrations set for cheap as well, I think ~ 250 if ur looking for a modern vid idea.
Love this! This is the education a lot of people need. Makes no sense to buy a sealed vintage pack (to open), when you can complete the set for an affordable price. As you said LP are great too, they look basically as good in a binder!
The Vileplume is one of my favourite Jungle holographic cards, the artwork colours really go well against the green foil. It's petals represents the symbol for the jungle cards which I find interesting, Vileplume is the hallmark for jungle basically and I love it.
Pretty affordable, but never ready for the heavy hit of collecting the full collection even if vintage owo Great to consider for the new sets though n.n
@NextLevelTCG I like it. After watching this video I went to TCG player and picked up 15 more cards for a little over 7 bucks. I'm 27 away from a master set now
This made me interested in completing this set. I'm thinking of picking up the first edition commons and uncommons. Do you think these cards will gain value in the future?
That's annoying but Clefable is still cool. For some reason when I was little there was only one shiny Victreebel in my school & I need to get back to tracking down the ones that I still don't have & that might be the first on the list.
im so glad i bought this unlimited set way back in 2016 for 50 bucks and at the time i felt it was just to cheap but then again i didnt have the income i have today
Not gonna lie sounds a great deal but also concerning about market prices..how a set this old can get so low in value even lower than a single Moonbreon card. That shows somehow bad sign for investors but of course for collectors this is amazing deal!
I’ve almost completed fossil but I’m worried about the dragonite cause every card shop I’ve been too has either A:been to expensive B:no one has had it 😢
I don't think we have the same idea of "cheap, budget and affordable" here. In my city inside California $18 is enough to feed me for a two weeks. Chicken drumsticks cost $5-6 for a pack of 12. Each day I could eat two for dinner. Sure, minimum wage is going up, but have you looked at the price of things lately? It's going up too. Rent in my city is $1000 MINIMUM for a one bedroom apartment and I don't even live in the good area of my city... Last week I went to a freaking Carl's Jr and a whole combo cost almost $30. Holy freak, I stopped going to Carl's Jr after that. That's INSANE. Collecting lightly played would probably be the way to go, but my reasons still remain. If you're working casual job and living paycheck to paycheck pokemon card is the least of your concerns. It's actually feels so wrong how companies still shove this type of stuff in our faces when they know we are the a city with huge amount of people on welfare and poverty. I forgot to say, I do very much appreciate this video. Helped me find a complete jungle card list
Welcome to the UK where we don't have tcg and any vintage holo you can find on ebay has been chewed by a dog and being sold at double or triple it's value.
odds are you cant get these cards from the same buyer and your shipping would add like another $80 and tcgplayer when you buy near mint you arn't always getting a near mint cause anyone can make a seller account on there. they might say near mint bit its light played or worse. they just say near mint better off buying this kind of thing on ebay where you have a photo of the picture as most posts on tcg do not have pics of cards. I am a seller on whatnot also. and ive notice most people dont care about vintage at all in pokemon now days. most people only want full arts or alt arts thats it. im asked all the time about the full art EX cards. no one really cares about vintage. i bet like 10% of the people care for vintage now days if that. most of these people grew up in 2009+ that are into pokemon now days and thye are more into modern full art style cards nothing else. this is why a Moonbreon in a psa 10 sells for more than a psa 9 base set charizard. just about the only thing that holds value in vintage are PSA 10 thats it. example a PSA 9 Erikas Venusaur just sold for $106 on auction. you can sell a umbreon from modern and buy 5 of those psa 9 venusaurs. or sell 1 of the new lugia alt art raw ungraded and buy two of these psa 9s. Vintage is basically done growing and its not an investment anymore. its been out long enough its not going anywhere unless there is a boom. if your looking to invest long term id suggest buying and holding modern pokemon booster boxes or ETBs of special sets dont buy vintage as noone wants it really thats why its not worth anything.
Seeing all these cards bring me back when I was still able to get a pack of the shelf for $3 at my local card shop
Remember when jungle and fossil used to be on clearance haha
i still can
Love this insight. Not many people actually breaks down cost of mast sets. Especially vintage
Just trying to show people what they can get for there money ! 💪
Jungle is about as nostalgic for me as base set!
Agree with everything you said about Pidgeot! Love that card! Probably the most nostalgic one in the set for me.
I was actually really suprised when i was building my wotc collection. Full nm holo sets are relatively cheap(dont get trapped in the graded slab game 99% of the time its not worth it).

Love the fact you made episode 2! Thank you for the great content once again
Couple more in the pipeline

Thanks Reed. Next week I buy $1,000,000 mystery box filled with Orbeez and unreleased platinum charizard cards !!!! 😂
Still trying to complete my set! Good info guys!
Get r done
Always stoked to see this pop up in my feed. Keep it up! Love vintage but my favourite is the E-Card Series. Would love to have them all but sadly a lot of them are too expensive.
Yeah those cards are so good. But quite pricey haha
Agreed - especially the WoTC e-card sets: Expedition, Aquapolis, and Skyridge! Those are the most important vintage sets on my radar.
You could turn this into a series and you can talk about other sets and their prices in the Neo and E series like Skyridge!
In the pipeline
@@TCGFunhouse glad to hear it 🤌🏼
Pinsir also has a few misprints out there where it doesn't have the Jungle stamp. I have one and it's kinda cool
Good point
I’ve actually got one of these, and a Wigglytuff without to Jungle Stamp too!
@@derickandthedragonites4387 I have the pinsir. Didn't realize I had such a misprint until about a year ago.
@@Saythra They are super cool! Some of my favorite cards in my collection honestly.
Jungle is one of my favorite Vintage set I miss the old artwork thank you for your knowledge love these kind of videos
Me too. So nostalgic
Hey guys! Your last video on Base Set Unlimited got me to have a focused goal. Close to having it all done. Jungle is my next goal, so super nice you guys put this out. For some of the high value cards, I am sourcing locally so I can see them first.
That’s a great idea
Consider trades too
For sure man. I traded one of my dup Shining Fates Charizard plus some cash for the base charizard from my LGS, which had been unsold for months.
The Jolteon art work was deff the best of the set for me. Surprised how cheap they are for there age.
A lot of people think that vintage is so expensive. And it’s just not the case
This is a great series! I have the base set, jungle & fossil all on the go at the moment so I’m grateful for the info!
Thanks
I found a holo Vaporeon in the gutter by my friends house when I was little. It is hammered but still one of my favorite cards.
Those memories are what it’s all about
Awesome awesome video my dudes! I'm making this master set my 2023 New Years Plan numero uno! The eeveelutions in this set are some of my faves!! Thank you for this.
P.S. you can make the entire Celebrations set for cheap as well, I think ~ 250 if ur looking for a modern vid idea.
That is awesome!
@@TCGFunhouse I'll keep you updated haha. I'm even going to try for first editions after a bit of research
Love this! This is the education a lot of people need. Makes no sense to buy a sealed vintage pack (to open), when you can complete the set for an affordable price. As you said LP are great too, they look basically as good in a binder!
I agree 💯💯💯
Don’t forget about the clefable prerelaese and no symbol error cards! 😊
Love it
Very interesting! I’m currently trying to complete the Fossil set.
Cool. I know I’m a year late. How far are you
The Vileplume is one of my favourite Jungle holographic cards, the artwork colours really go well against the green foil. It's petals represents the symbol for the jungle cards which I find interesting, Vileplume is the hallmark for jungle basically and I love it.
Pretty affordable, but never ready for the heavy hit of collecting the full collection even if vintage owo
Great to consider for the new sets though n.n
It’s just a fun thing to complete sets
Exactly just picked up fossil first edition master set
Nice
Appreciate the video! Thanks!
Dude awesome video Travis !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Justin
i wanna add the eeveelution 1st edition holos to my collection of eeveelutions, i got my moonbreon in today
First edition is a tad more pricey
Butterfree and Lickitung are stand-out art from this set as well, from the un commons
Love em
Im realy surpised how much the holos in the deck are i thought they were around $120 and up and to think thr $40 a pop is crazy !
I actually just started going after the jungle set, thanks for the info!
It’s a good set
@NextLevelTCG I like it. After watching this video I went to TCG player and picked up 15 more cards for a little over 7 bucks. I'm 27 away from a master set now
This made me interested in completing this set. I'm thinking of picking up the first edition commons and uncommons. Do you think these cards will gain value in the future?
Maybe a little. The fan faves like Eevee and Pikachu would be good !
Great information! I thought the set would be higher in value, considering the price of the sealed box.
I'm creating pokemon mystery box/packs as gifts for my 9 year old and you have given me some great ideas in this video. Great job as always!
Awesome idea !
You can’t complete the base set without Jungle and Fossil and both are a great price compared.
I love these videos. Keep them up
Thanks
These videos are so great
Thanks nick
If anyone wants to sell their full jungle collection, I’m looking lol.
Nice
Great content brother !
Thanks Levi

I have a holographic snorlax, where I can graduate it
Idk might as well go for light play because tcg player sends u scratched up cards most of time anyways with vintage
I have had decent with them usually. But yes I have some issues with cards not really being NM
im so glad i bought this unlimited set way back in 2016 for 50 bucks and at the time i felt it was just to cheap but then again i didnt have the income i have today
Nice !
I collected lots of the WotC cards when I was little, and I never knew I could get the early rares in non-foil until now. :') I actually hate foil...
I also think the prices increase when you buy from a reputable seller. Also, do a video like this for fossil please
In the pipeline
Thank you! Trying to buy back my childhood!
Nostalgia is powerful
It’s is shocking the price for old cards and you can get a master set of jungle and a umbreon is over 500 crazy
It really is crazy.
what about complete 1st edition base set near mint
Awesome video
Thanks
Jungle is my favorite set and its so adorable.
The silvering damage around the jungle holo cards drives me crazy so ugly
Samesies
Not gonna lie sounds a great deal but also concerning about market prices..how a set this old can get so low in value even lower than a single Moonbreon card. That shows somehow bad sign for investors but of course for collectors this is amazing deal!
Yeah when in investing, sealed is always better than singles
Great information! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
NICENESS AND GOODNESS 🥁💯
So next level tcg 😮
Yassssss
Plz make the team rocket soon! Thanks
Is your framerate off?
I’ve almost completed fossil but I’m worried about the dragonite cause every card shop I’ve been too has either A:been to expensive

TCGplayer has vaporeon for like $29!
🔥
You can save even more and get almost pack fresh condition buying japanese if you only care about the art and not so much the language :)
Love Japanese
❤️

500 ? Today its more 5000 even in this website
17 minute video and you didn't mention jungle 1st edition once?? why... That's kind of a big thing to leave out about jungle sets

Victreebel got plenty of love as the comic relief in the Pokémon series swallowing up James. Great list, much appreciated 🫡
