i hope this isnt happening to yugioh but i know they know something what is coming so they keep them to trade it for food once the cashless society comes which i hope will never happen
The market is CRAZY right now. I'm trying to complete a master set of Paldean Fates and it's getting impossible to find product and if I do it's priced through the roof.
It's insane what is happening within the community as a whole because of prismatic evolutions i mean c'mon how can you have prices for a set that ain't out yet
Pokémon prices have gone insane for the new sets.. I’ve been collecting Pokemon for about 8 months now and I can’t believe how it’s gone.. sooooo glad I decided to actually skip this prismatic set
I was gonna open one of my PC ETBs to get that stamped Eevee promo but there is no way I can conceivably open it now with the prices where they are. It just blows my mind and is also upsetting at the same time 😂😢
I have said this a few times, the ones I feel the most sorry for, are the kids! My 9 year old grandson, has been saving his birthday and Christmas money to buy some of this set, but how can he??? It’s sad!! 😢😢😢
Yes I agree...I hope he's able to find some! If you're able to, check best buy on release day. I don't think many people know you can find product there!
I was able to preorder 2 cases of Prismatic Evolutions regular ETBs for $45 each ETB and both case have been cancelled, only Prismatic I'm getting is my 2 PC ETBs. My Pokemon investing may come to a halt until the market cools down and things become more available and affordable
Dude! I heard of that happening with the last set! They were canceling orders because they knew they could get more money for it! Sorry that happened! What a world we're living in right now.
I was able to get 2 PC etbs very grateful, and just like that, im done with the set. I'll be scooping singles for my son's collection when the dust settles, at reasonable prices, or just skipping on this set. 😊
Great video, The new set is already sold out on Pokemon center journey together and that is not coming out Intel March I think. Pokemon needs to put there new stuff out when it comes out. I know how you feel.
The ones who are doing all of the scalping, they should be arrested because it can be considered theft, or some sort of embezzlement/robbery. Needles to say, they're not genuine Pokémon goers. This year may be the year of eevee, but it's gonna be the year of horror for Pokémon in general because of hype and hysteria that is being created.
People are always going to find ways to take advantage and make money and it sucks for the people who actually enjoy the hobby and collect the cards / sealed products etc
The problem is not the resellers, it’s the buyers. If there weren’t people willing to pay those prices then they wouldn’t be listed at that price. Why do people always point fingers at the people who aren’t causing the problem.
It 100% starts with the "resellers"! I understand what you're saying about the buyers, but the people "reselling" DO NOT have to put such high prices on the product. In this case of "the chicken or the egg", it's the resellers.
It starts with the investors hoarding a huge percentage of sealed product. The reselling scavengers do their part to get the product from investors that would just hoard it all. Ever thought of that? I think there should be a limit businesses can buy. Also, limit online sales. Let's go back to pre covid where stores had 40-50 etbs, hundreds of blisters, boxes, tins, etc. I'm there every week and product is just limited in stores. You blame scalpers, which is stupid if u rly know what's going on. Scalpers/resellers are scavengers just looking to make a quick dollar to offset their pack addiction. Investors don't even give a fuck about pokemon. They don't even need the money. 😂 Look at Rudy from Alpha Investments. His bathroom is filled with 500k worth of XY & S&M. Go watch his video from a few yrs ago.. Problem is, more ppl are investing into pokemon. The scalpers are literally 1% of the problem. Let's focus on the real issue! "Investors' are killing pokemon. Not scalpers.
@@pokepair23 the same could be said about vintage. It’s supply, demand and what people are willing to pay. If all of a sudden nobody cared about Pokemon and they disappeared then a pack of legendary collection would be worth nothing. Let me be clear and state that I was only able to get one ETB two sticker collections and my Pokemon center exclusive pre order. But I’m not willing to pay 150 dollars so I wont buy more.
It's not worth it seeing how bad the pull rates are, it's a really bad decision for the pricing. Hopefully the hype will not last long so the prices go back to normal even if bad pull rates make the cards more expensive
This is insanely sickening to me. This makes me so nervous about this set and others coming I really hope something gets figured out soon to come. Even the lgs stores are selling product way above regular price. I really hope the prices do majorly drop because I cannot do this whole 3x the msrp price
And all this is insanity for a totally trash set! There's 2 or maybe 3 cards that I want, no use for the rest! My opinion at least. Also, several times throughout the video but especially at 6:58 it really looed like you were cradling John's equipment... maybe move the cut out? Or is that deliberate for John while he's away? 😆 Much love!🥰
The inflation is so bad. I’m skipping pokemon till this calms down. I’ll just buy the singles of the cards I truly want and get the packs once the scalpers have to sell to get their money back.
It is kinda rough, I wonder if I'll be able to open any of this set in any reasonable quantity. 😔 Also, I don't appreciate Cutout John's flippant attitude towards this serious situation.🤨
Seems like it’s all these kids on WhatNot stocking up. Not sure how they are allowed to sell the packs already given the restrictions for selling prior to release date.
Pokemon Center left way too much value on the table by offering these ETBs for only $60, so of course people will try to capture some of that value by flipping them. Not unethical nor illegal. I'm surprised Pokemon isn't doing a better job of meeting the demand that they created or capturing more of the value they created.
Do not buy it at these insane prices. This set, and the Rocket set will both be heavily printed, and printed for several months. Prismatic will be printed until at least September.
People are insane to even be willing to give their money to these people! I’m not going to pay any those prices just going to wait for restocks at big box stores or LGS😮
Hi misty, you toasted Elliot lmao. Anyways, I'm not even going to try and get any of it there's really no point tbh. I'll wait for new team rocket set instead. ❤ you pairfam 😘
@@pokepair23 yes for real, it sucks that ppl and or bots has screwed this set up badly. They're driving ppl away from the hobby instead of drawing ppl to it after this crap going on. I hate it
I will NEVER buy a dollar more than MSRP and I find it absurd there are people who do. I just don't understand the mindset. Enabling and rewarding scalping behavior.
I'm not even excited for Friday. I have orders coming and paid for, but I am not even excited to open it. This shit is stupid. Prismatic Evolutions ain't even out yet and I hate the set. Journey Together is looking to be the same.
We DO KNOW the pull rates ...They are absolutely atrocious!!!! .The "batching sequences"are f--ked and this set is straight garbage 🗑 "SURGING⚡️SPARKS" was "STAR WARS" 🌟 ☆☆☆☆☆>> "Prismatic Evolutions" is the "Rise of Skywalker" 👎 👎
CRIMINALS!! PC played us this week 😅 I swear Im so sad for the hobby. Its become full of resellers who dont care about the hobby and are just trying to take advantage and all the fomo-ers are gonna help them do it. Its a vicious cycle, and I hope it crashes soon.
The main problem is people keep buying at scalper prices, I rather leave the hobbie before paying $400 for Etbs it’s just insane!
Agreed!!
Yo this right here is how we all need to think!!!
i hope this isnt happening to yugioh but i know they know something what is coming so they keep them to trade it for food once the cashless society comes which i hope will never happen
Bye bye
and after paying few hundred for a etb... you open it and 99.9% you'll lose 85% of that money you paid for the etb.
In the words of Robert Plant "Ramble on!" we all feel the same way as you.
🤣🖤
dope vid! really is crazy times for the hobby ((i can’t wait to sell elliot cards way overpriced))
Bomboclat
It is! I've never seen anything like this since we rejoined the hobby!!
The market is CRAZY right now. I'm trying to complete a master set of Paldean Fates and it's getting impossible to find product and if I do it's priced through the roof.
It is crazy how much these items are being sold for. Hopefully things will eventually calm down
I hope so too!
The cutout gets me every time
He didn’t say much but he sure is taking a stand on the situation
🤣🤣🤣💀
Looking forward to seeing you open that pack. Loved seeing your victory yesterday watching EDP clip
US Team Rocket is "apparently" coming out a month after japan's April release. So expect it sometime in May.
It’s insane what is going on with the hobby atm 😢❤❤❤
Totally agree! Hopefully Pokémon will reprint this so much that prices will go down
I’ve seen some shops saying they’re gonna sell boxes at 150 and open seal, if people want it closed seal, they pay market. I hope more do this.
I didn't know John can grow a mustache like that very nice
🤣🤣💀
It's insane what is happening within the community as a whole because of prismatic evolutions i mean c'mon how can you have prices for a set that ain't out yet
Pokemon is in a crazy spot right now. Happy Early birthday Mistie. Mine is On the 15 th
The team rocket set is the one I'm looking forward to but I bet it goes crazy in price too
crazy world out there
im taking a step back and opening some one piece boxes. Gonna prob wait it out till rocket now
insane market!
That’s why I’m sticking to Japanese sets. And the lettering is cool 😂
im curious what are the prices gonna be at stores in America and Europe on release
In most stores like Walmart or target it should be $50-$60. I was able to preorder from gamestop for $49.99 per etb
Prices are nuts
The set is insane, so much hype! I've got my amazon preorder in atleast
Pokémon prices have gone insane for the new sets.. I’ve been collecting Pokemon for about 8 months now and I can’t believe how it’s gone.. sooooo glad I decided to actually skip this prismatic set
I literally opened Japanese Terastal festival and called it a day!
when EA thought me 1 thing then it is to wait before buying something on day one
Not even 24 hours later, you mean 24 minutes! Was a fiasco that launch was
I was gonna open one of my PC ETBs to get that stamped Eevee promo but there is no way I can conceivably open it now with the prices where they are. It just blows my mind and is also upsetting at the same time 😂😢
Dude I wanted to open one of our PC etbs too! But I am with ya on the keeping it sealed 😭😭
He was too busy waxing that badass mustache
🤣🤣🤣💀
its against ebays policy to list a preorder that is more than 40 days out to receive the item.
Let’s gooooooooo #RoadTo10K
I have said this a few times, the ones I feel the most sorry for, are the kids! My 9 year old grandson, has been saving his birthday and Christmas money to buy some of this set, but how can he??? It’s sad!! 😢😢😢
Yes I agree...I hope he's able to find some! If you're able to, check best buy on release day. I don't think many people know you can find product there!
It's wild. Good luck on the hunt peeps
All we can do is try and convince people that this isn’t worth the fomo people feel and just deny these scalpers!🚫
Exactly!!!
I was able to preorder 2 cases of Prismatic Evolutions regular ETBs for $45 each ETB and both case have been cancelled, only Prismatic I'm getting is my 2 PC ETBs. My Pokemon investing may come to a halt until the market cools down and things become more available and affordable
Dude! I heard of that happening with the last set! They were canceling orders because they knew they could get more money for it! Sorry that happened! What a world we're living in right now.
People keep getting on me for complaining about people who are entering the hobby for the wrong reasons, but I will continue to get on them!
I was able to get 2 PC etbs very grateful, and just like that, im done with the set. I'll be scooping singles for my son's collection when the dust settles, at reasonable prices, or just skipping on this set. 😊
DISTRIBUTORS AND ALLOCATOTS SHOULD NOTE AT SHOPS TO LET 2 OR 4 ETBs per order!!! Scalpers running this like business!!!
I hope everyone comes together and avoids buying these hyper inflated prices. Wait it out
Yeah absolutely ridiculous I've given up on the next two sets maybe I can catch him when they're going out the door 😔

I agree, they don't actually care about the hobby or the community, just money
Team rocket PC ETBs will be 1000 straight up on day of preorder…
$2000 for a non-released card is just insanity
everyone is scared of missing the next Evolving Skies but you can get ES RIGHT NOW for a similar amount, market is defiantly wrong on this new set
Am done collecting Modern here for the time being at least, and it was an EASY decision.
Same here
Makes sense man...I have a feeling after the new team rocket set it'll die back down

@@pokepair23 Also, I love you guys. I don’t want this to come across as anything but a difference in opinions.
We know you and John will never do us wrong. We love you guys hope all is well. I cant stand scalpers they ruin it for everyone that love the Pokémon.
🖤🖤
@pokepair23 if I get some money for my birthday I'm going to try to buy some pokémon cards but don't know what to buy lol
Eh I dunno about how much that Umbreon ex is gonna drop on release. Pull rates are 1/2000ish packs, and no one can get anything to open.
Journey Together is going the same direction. Tough times for normal folks in the hobby.
Agreed!! 😭
It's not worth it seeing how bad the pull rates are, it's a really bad decision for the pricing. Hopefully the hype will not last long so the prices go back to normal even if bad pull rates make the cards more expensive

🤣🤣🤣💀 I didn't even notice!
I strongly believe this hype will die down and things will go back to normal…..: hopefully.
It's sad people are doing this. It's why as a new collector i quit at 151 because of this reason.
I’m all for it
Everyone is a scalper but the people on UA-cam and the rip and shippers 🤦 the audacity of these channels.
😢😢😢
The inflation is so bad. I’m skipping pokemon till this calms down. I’ll just buy the singles of the cards I truly want and get the packs once the scalpers have to sell to get their money back.
Prismatic current pull data suggest 1 and 100 packs just for 1 sir
PokeRev pulled only 3 sir and one gold card out of 200 packs
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It is kinda rough, I wonder if I'll be able to open any of this set in any reasonable quantity. 😔
Also, I don't appreciate Cutout John's flippant attitude towards this serious situation.🤨
Yeah it's gonna be a rough couple months with the upcoming sets.
🤣🤣💀

Pull rates are absolutely horrendous for prismatic evolutions by far worse than evolving skies.
❤
I hate what is happening

Awesome video. This prismatic set is way overrated and way too expensive
Wow... what is with the editing cutaway to that cardboard individuals Johnson???? 🤔
Lmao I didn't even notice what I did! I have had a few people point it out now! 🤣💀😬

Yeah, I've heard a lot of people are just skipping this set, which is understandable, but sucks it has to be that way
@@pokepair23 yes for real, it sucks that ppl and or bots has screwed this set up badly. They're driving ppl away from the hobby instead of drawing ppl to it after this crap going on. I hate it
They are 100% pushing people away...a lot of people are skipping this set. Sad to see when people were so excited for prismatic
You think Rocket is going to be any easier?? It’ll be 100% worse but good luck 😂
@pokestank oh I agree, with each new set coming out leading up to rocket, including Japanese, it will progressively get worse.
Anyone want journey together booster bundles?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I won’t be buying from the secondary market and neither should anyone else. I will try to get some from Walmart to open with my son.
💯 ...I was able to preorder from gamestop at $49.99 per etb
@ I got 2 PC ETB’s but I don’t want to open them because of how much they are worth now. They will stay in my sealed collection.
Its actually really sad ... Don't even want to collect this set... We'll just stick terastal festival
Terastal has better pull rates!
The pull rates are absolutely CRAP, honestly so bad that nobody should even pay retail, its all a complete RIP OFF!
I've heard the pull rates are worse than Evo skies! 😭
Yeh, truly sucks. Can't find anything in stores to enjoy the hobby..
Don't purchase sealed product 2nd hand.. Simple!!
I will NEVER buy a dollar more than MSRP and I find it absurd there are people who do. I just don't understand the mindset. Enabling and rewarding scalping behavior.
The pull rates aren’t great either, hopefully they print it to death 🥃
Yeah I've heard the pull rates are worse than Evo skies!!
@ 😩
Don't support the scalpers! I am not buying any PE products. Rather skip this set! :)

First! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Poke rev copy paste :)
Smoking fire weed is cheaper than buying pokemon cards 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Can’t believe how much the prices it’s going for Misty unbelievable 🥲🥲
It's crazy!!!
