Told the girlfriend we can’t get married in June. We are taking that money and buying fusion strike booster then end of year sell them about 5k a piece then get married and be rich. Full proof.
1K fusion agreed. Last year this time when Moonbreon was at $600, ES BB was at $500. Today Gengar is at $550, FS BB is at $475. FS is going to perform like a mini ES, pound for pound.
Rob, u have no idea how I waited for your vids man. I would come every two days just to see if there's an upload I missed ..as always thanks for the content 🫡
Oof Surging Sparks not hitting $250 is wild, considering its already $245 market on TCG and already selling for over $250 a day after upload 🤣 If they give it a Crown Zenith style reprint I can see the price tanking, but its also just as likely that it gets a small Paldea Evolved style reprint and the price marches toward $300 after a period of stagnation
Good luck selling a set like Surging Sparks when everyone only wants Prismatic Evolutions, and if they do buy Sparks, it's for retail and not above it.
I would never pay $250-500 for a box I bought for $100. Neither would you or anyone else who purchased at the retail price, meaning who's going to buy it? Not players, not investors, only sucked in addicted collectors of cardboard that were told to buy it!
That was a lot of hot takes lol. I think temporal will get a reprint but I agree I don’t think SV will get the reprints like lost origin got a few years ago. I don’t even know if 151 is getting a reprint because there is a large amount of those blooming waters boxes going to every big store and LGS. I hope team rocket is not a disappointment. I think it will be good but it won’t be what people were expecting. We saw the same thing with prismatic evolution. Happy new year man and I’m happy you’re still here making content!
Minute for minute, more substance than any other youtuber in the Pokemon space - and I think you could dive even deeper into '"the numbers" and still maintain that light touch if you chose to, but I get it, family and job and other life commitments vs shiny pieces of cardboard! Anyway, thanks so much for the quality content whipped up in what seems the little spare time that you have. On the subject of this particular video, I would love to hear what your crystal ball revealed about the future of Pokemon Play! Series prize packs - I think Series 5 was the last one so it seems fair to expect SOME kind of upward movement. The distribution and population and rarities etc. are so very different than the standard issue sets - I don't get why greater interest isn't taken in these packs/cards. Of course, I say that recognizing that you are one of the few content creators who have actually devoted a video to the subject! :)
Wow, thank you for leaving such a long and thoughtful comment. You're too kind. Thank you for your support. I'll keep trying to make good content this year! Have an awesome 2025.
Happy new year Rob! Glad to see your channel grow the speed it has because you definitely deserve it and it's great to see how much it means to you. AAA content off the rip with this channel! 🥳🎉
I have enjoyed opening vstar universe. Such a great set to collect. I have kept some sealed as well!!! mastered crown zenith! so close with vstar...time to buy singles to finish er off....maybe one more box as we all say lol🎉
Happy New Year Rob 🎉 Some of our predictions line up lol, I was more conservative with mine but agree about Japanese 151 and VSTAR being underrated right now. I don’t think we will see PSA make any changes though, machine is just too well oiled so there’s no reason to change that imo
I grabbed the vstar when you said something a while ago. Grabbed for about $40 😂 I know it aint much to most but love the 100% gain for it. Great show,great information pay attention to this guy
I honestly think that you and @pokebeard should make a collab video 🙌🏼🙌🏼 hopefully a sleepers or something like that, best inputs I get is from here 🙏🏼
@@Robdoespokemon I have only 2bb and 1 etb of Surging. If there is a reprint of Surging, I will get another two, but fusion is never gonna get a reprint.
I buy them through stores that I have relationship with. Tiktok coupons can get good, and there are always good deals on ebay. I've also bought a lot through Facebook groups for just Pokemon.
Hmmm. Interesting seeing a slowdown prediction for genar and moonbreon. I was thinking 2k for moonbreon. I think another lat minute mega surge will def happen September-December
I have a box of fusion strike i bought from the pokemon center but the box has some dinged corners and the famous razor cut across the top of the box. If it gets to 500 a box what do you think would be a fair selling price? Like 400? Thanks!
I have a prediction, NOBODY'S going to buy Pokémon anything unless it's at the original retail price or just a tiny bit above it! It's called price memory.
Why is rayquaza vmax worth so much? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one comment or video say that card is their favorite card or even really mention it. Ive heard people gush over the moonbreon, gengar vmax and giratina but. Ever that card. And it’s worth over 500 bucks? So crazy.
@@RobdoespokemonI remember that! It was the hot thing. But then it got passed and kinda forgotten. But not really? It retains such crazy value even though I think the giratina, gengar and even lugia are much more talked about and desired cards. It’s so easy to forget the rayquaza even exists if you just look at comments and videos. It’s definitely the least hyped, yet best performing card in a while. It just constantly grows.
The only one not getting reprinted is paldean evolved since it was already reprinted, surging will surpass $250 in february. Everything else was spot on👍
Should I just bite the bullet and buy a bubble mew now? I want it so bad and I was hoping it would go back down in price. I don’t even want it for making profit. I just want to keep it. I’ve open like 200+ packs of Paldean fates already. I got the charizard and gardivoir but no mew and thats really all I want.
PSA would never bring an "11". Would be one of the worst business decisions ever made IMO. Telling 100 million of your consumers their "perfect" 10/10 is no longer perfect. The bought SGC who had a premium 10 so they have that route covered there.
This might be the only way that PSA could destroy themselves. I feel like Nat Turner knows that this would really chap some asses. Their volume is so massive I don’t see the incentive to take the risk to add a premium grade with the potential to torch your existing customer base.
BTC closing with a shooting star candle and lots of divergence on the monthly chart doesn't look good. Probably not a bad place to take some profit. Need that Prize Play Gengar VMAX before its 10k lol.
Actually i went for lost origin instead, bought a Booster box for $379 Canadian Total and 3 lodt origin battle stadium for $100 each in total (includes tax and delivery)
i feel like it’s already happening w stock/crypto profits moving into pokemon. we’re at all time highs in both markets so anyone that’s seasoned or got burned in the last crash 2020, have probs locked in profits to move into something else
You're welcome. And a profit is always well taken. I've been liquidating singles and putting it into cheaper sealed. It is time to do that, I feel. But this run might have another year in it yet.
Rob, Btc will highly likely top between 6th-13th jan. unpopular opinion, I’ve been in crypto for 10 years and made the mistake of not taking at least some profit twice and lost 90 percent. Please take some profit, maybe what you have invested. Nothing goes up and up. Alt run is now then bear market
@@Robdoespokemon I know I just look like the crazy guy on UA-cam 😂 BUT all cycles end with ETH and alts outperforming btc. That only ever lasts a few weeks and it’s starting soon. It’s the final phase in a crypto bull market
@ haha, you may be right, with all the BS that’s hit the market in the last couple weeks I’m going full divest mode. Dumping my two cases of SS on eBay ASAP. I think we’ve hit the absolute top of the bubble.
Lolz! It's funny. Some people really get iffy about me saying, "Trump". I mentioned him before in a video, just saying when Trump comes in, I expect x y z to happen, and I got a lot of negative comments.
Told the girlfriend we can’t get married in June. We are taking that money and buying fusion strike booster then end of year sell them about 5k a piece then get married and be rich. Full proof.
This right here is why I started the channel.

Late to comment on this video. Happy New Year! I predict you will reach 20k+ subs by mid 2025! Cheers to an amazing year my friend! 🔥🔥🔥

Great take and thanks for all your content. One of the best Pokémon UA-camrs out there 👍
Thanks dude. You're so kind 🥃🥃🥃
Loved the hot takes surprised you didn’t mention lost origin ? Curious how that set is going to do/ your take on it!
I skipped the tab lol $800
I enjoyed this predictions! Happy New Year Rob!! ❤
Happy New Year dude!
Amazing content man. Been collecting for a while and you are on of the few I watch. Much appreciated! Also try Whistlepig 12 year. Amazing whiskey.

rob you are the best poketuber no joke. i love your predictions and your vids always make me laugh!
Dude, THANK YOU!
Had to rewatch the video as I thought I missed it, no spicy take on Lost Origin!? 😮
I'm so sorry. I missed Lost as I clicked the wrong tab. It'll be $800 or so
Appreciate everything you do bro!! Keep rolling into 2025 because people enjoy you and your content! 🍻🍻
You are the man!
Surging Sparks boxes could well be $250 before January is out…
Already over $230 lol
@ try $240 shipped
One sold at 249.97 on TCG player today… Rob, that call didn’t even make through the first day of 2025…
Rob sucking on some stanky milk already in that juice box of his… 😂
I grabbed the vstar when you said something a while ago. Grabbed for about $40 😂 I know it aint much to most but love the 100% gain for it. Great show,great information pay attention to this guy
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! :) great vid Rob ...should have watched this BEFORE opening my PC 151 ETB .... (kidding)
Lolz. I appreciate you, my friend. Keep it sealed! Happy New Year 🥃
I honestly think that you and @pokebeard should make a collab video 🙌🏼🙌🏼 hopefully a sleepers or something like that, best inputs I get is from here 🙏🏼
Beard and I chat now and then. He's a legend and he knows it. Hopefully this year we can do something. Appreciate you 🥃🔥
@Robdoespokemon no waaay! 🤯 love it! Thank you sir! 🙏🏼
Dude, your thumbnail is incredible. You've reached a new level!
When you said my crystal ball is just in the other room and did that motion I just cracked up so loud
Dude thanks so much. I love it when people pick up on these little things. Means a lot!
best t -shirt to start the new year! HNY to you and yours!
Glad to see you back!
Thinking that I would exchange 2bb of Surging sparks for 1 fusion strike. Or is it a bad idea?
Depends what you have. It's almost even. I like Fusion better.
@@Robdoespokemon I have only 2bb and 1 etb of Surging. If there is a reprint of Surging, I will get another two, but fusion is never gonna get a reprint.
Love the predictions, the PSA 11 would be cool for sure.
Surging will be $250 in a week as the bbs catch up to the case price($1500).
Yeah, now you say that I realize I missed a joke opportunity questioning the crystal ball's jugdement. Appreciate you watching! Happy New Year
Brilliant stars should be around 500$ so underrated 🔥set ❤
Loving the predictions Rob. I think it’s going to be an exciting year for the hobby
Thanks Dave! Happy New Year! 🥃
On ya Rob! Never stop making content

Good shit Rob keep up the awsome vibes

Hahaha, coming, Dec 2025: a blue sky background.
Brilliant stars should be around 500$ so underrated 🔥set ❤ so hard to find a good booster boxes
Really Great video and just getting into reselling, where are the best places to buy booster boxes?
I buy them through stores that I have relationship with. Tiktok coupons can get good, and there are always good deals on ebay. I've also bought a lot through Facebook groups for just Pokemon.
Dang man I didn’t even notice you got to 7k! How cool!
Happy new year Rob!
Happy New Year Bart!
Hmmm. Interesting seeing a slowdown prediction for genar and moonbreon. I was thinking 2k for moonbreon. I think another lat minute mega surge will def happen September-December
I have a box of fusion strike i bought from the pokemon center but the box has some dinged corners and the famous razor cut across the top of the box. If it gets to 500 a box what do you think would be a fair selling price? Like 400? Thanks!
Yeah that is annoying. I'd imagine a box break streamer would take it probably 15-20% below market
Moonbreon psa 10s last solds 2.5k ...black labels will be 15k all day imo 😅
What's your 2025 magikarp ir prediction?
Grey felt hat?
u were right about fusion strike
Hoping I can trade a prismatic pc etbs for a gengar vmax
I have a prediction, NOBODY'S going to buy Pokémon anything unless it's at the original retail price or just a tiny bit above it! It's called price memory.
PSA 11, spicy indeed. I’m not sure how they would pull that off due to the amount of PSA 10s that already exist. What happens to all those?
If this were to happen, PSA 10 would be inferior, but I doubt PSA would care. Think of the upcharges!
Why is rayquaza vmax worth so much? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one comment or video say that card is their favorite card or even really mention it. Ive heard people gush over the moonbreon, gengar vmax and giratina but. Ever that card. And it’s worth over 500 bucks? So crazy.
Yeah, it's funny when Evo came out it was all about Ray Ray. Umbreon was an afterthought.
@@RobdoespokemonI remember that! It was the hot thing. But then it got passed and kinda forgotten. But not really? It retains such crazy value even though I think the giratina, gengar and even lugia are much more talked about and desired cards.

God bless you Rob

Got a couple fusion strike booster boxes from back when they were $90 on sale. Should’ve bought more😭
At least you got some! Great foresight
The only one not getting reprinted is paldean evolved since it was already reprinted, surging will surpass $250 in february. Everything else was spot on👍
I'll take it!
Should I just bite the bullet and buy a bubble mew now? I want it so bad and I was hoping it would go back down in price. I don’t even want it for making profit. I just want to keep it. I’ve open like 200+ packs of Paldean fates already. I got the charizard and gardivoir but no mew and thats really all I want.
If you love the card, buy it dude. For investing, honestly, singles are too risky for me in an already risky space. Go for sealed.
@ Thanks for the advice!
Why wouldn’t surging sparks hits $250 this year? Is there to much inventory?
Do you think preordering the prismatic evolutions ETB for 85€ a piece is the move or an absolute scam? Anticipated hold until ~ end of 25
No don't do that 😂
What does crystal ball say about Van Gogh Pikachu?
I was wrong on that one before. I'm sure it'll moon
Hair looking good, Rob!
😂😂😂 I predict I get a haircut soon
Happy New Year 🎉🎉

Would that be a typical PSA move? Lol
Dan, respectfully, don't argue with the crystal ball 😅 Seriously though, I'm curious to see what happens with BGS this year. Happy New Year buddy!
@@Robdoespokemon yeah I'd see Nat buying them too before trying to add the "black label" to psa
The only way they could make it work would be if they can offer free regrades for existing PSA10s to give them a chance of a PSA11.
The copium is high with this one. GJ! :D
Thoughts on lost origin etb?
Really good
BTC closing with a shooting star candle and lots of divergence on the monthly chart doesn't look good. Probably not a bad place to take some profit. Need that Prize Play Gengar VMAX before its 10k lol.
Prize Play is shooting to the moon!
151 is invincible. No amount of reprints will slow it down.
It got slowed down in Japanese...
@ no one cares about Japanese
what about lost origin booster boxes
Skipped the tab. $800.
Actually i went for lost origin instead, bought a Booster box for $379 Canadian Total and 3 lodt origin battle stadium for $100 each in total (includes tax and delivery)
So I skipped the LO tab. Blame the whiskey. Love LO.
Happy 2025 !!!!
If you wanna be a hero, then just follow me...
The real prediction is you’re waking up at 7:28 and squeezing in 2 extra min for 7:30
Every minute counts when the kids wake you up at 7:31!
They put Mewtwo in the team rocket icon so I have high hopes they will give us an SIR Mewtwo
Me too. Me too.

Rob you’re a rockstar
My crystal ball 🔮 says Rob MUST Quit stacking things on the edge of that table especially evo skies booster boxes 😳 pleaseeee my anxiety 🤣😂
Lol. This only makes me want to stack more.
If the Pikachu goes above $600 then surging sparks booster box has to go over $250.
I don't make the rules, dude. It's all crystal ball.
1k fusion for sure
500 dollar chase card will definitely help the value
Shit i think prismatic is gonna surpass 151 prices tbh
As an American, I’m really dreading 2025. F-
Lost Origin prediction?
Lol. I completely forgot it. My crystal ball is out of power so I'll go with my gut $800.
