    I think if you buy what you like and eventually can come out even or ahead that’s all that matters.

      I don’t fully understand this though because if you need to come out even that means you plan to sell it one day without ever opening it. How much could you really love it then? I totally get not wanting to spend $100 on something that’s eventually worth $10 because no one wants to overspend on a product, but at the same time MOST things in this world that you pay for because you love them are never resold again. I love my new tv I just bought, but I don’t expect to make my money back on it one day. Same with my car, house, etc…

    Your perspective that everyone has a place in the hobby is absolutely spot on! There's room for pure collectors, "investors," and everything in between. Great video Danny!

    • @connorism69

    • @monkey39128

  • @dylanddd8644

    Celebrations is probably my most favorite set in the last year or so. it brings the hype back of opening vintage pulls without the price of it.

  • @metalliccosmos
    @metalliccosmos 2 роки тому +11

    I loved how easy celebrations was to pull. I found it to be a good combination of solid hype and acessability to collectors.

    • @Probasaur
      @Probasaur 2 роки тому +1

      Likewise. As someone who opens a few packs here and there when i can, Celebrations was infinitely more enjoyable to open compared to sets like Shining Fates or any sword n shield set up to that point. When you're able to pick up a few packs or actually open an entire etb and its mostly just non holo rares it can be very disappointing. Glad to hear Pokemon Company has seemingly recognized this and is going to be trying to solve this in Scarlet & Violet by removing non holo rares all together.

  • @AndyKnowsSome
    @AndyKnowsSome 2 роки тому

    As an old-school collector that got pulled back in around the release of Celebrations, I really wonder how the print run of Celebrations compares to other special sets. They seemed to have set a concrete cut-off for printing Celebrations, but Shining Fates (for example) still seems to be in print. From what I gather, Evolutions (being the previous big anniversary set) seems to have been printed in massive quantities for an extended period of time, but still gained significant value over time, so it makes me wonder if the clear, delineated end of Celebrations means that once the excess stock clears out, it will gain momentum faster than say Pokemon Go, or if that’s how Pokémon has normally handled special sets, just without being overt about it.

It's not just a box with packs in it, it's a work of art with lots of packs in it.
