imo prismatic will most likely be a better set than surging sparks (the art + sheer amount of hits + eeveelutions), and a better long term hold surging sparks is better for short term money w all the fomo, if that’s what you’re into
Agree with your logic that with reprints these days the drop may see a $10-$20. I try to keep an eye out for reprint preorders these days and seem to get decent costs with coupons. Thanks for the videos and tips 😊
I like your content a lot but I've gotta say I think Surging Sparks is mid at best, wildly overhyped. Saying it's better than Lost Origin, you lost me there, and also mentioning its the next Evolving Skies, brother I cant get on board with those takes but I'll keep watching you because like I said I like your content. The Milotic is easily the best card in this set and going for 1/5th of what Pikachu is which makes zero sense to me. Saving my money to go deeper into Prismatic, Surging Sparks will be forgotten about once the next few sets come out.
I hate the price movement of SS but I do like the Latias way more than Tera eeveelutions. I do think prismatic will perform better. Crazy time in the hobby. People are super bullish and that’s amazing love to see it. Just worried people might way over pay.
My prediction. Prismatic is the next Crown Zenith. With so many SIRs it’ll probably have similar hit rates. It’ll be relatively easy to pull the good cards. And it’s going to released over a longer period of time than other specialty sets. If I’m betting Surging will do better long term than Prismatic because of the booster box and hard hit rates.
Idk. People will say “its not the next evolving skies!” “Its the next evolving skies!” It doesnt matter what each individual thing, the market is just a huge mass as far as Im concerned haha. So far that mass points towards surging sparks being a solid investment. At the end of the day its all subjective - buy what you like, or what you believe in, it really doesnt matter that much at the end of the day. You can always make more money!
Dude youre always eating with the ost's, preach. On the topic, I believe that prismatic (terestal fes) will hit harder. "the next evolving skies", we all love eevees and have fav eeveelution, it will work perfectly even if u arent a hard fun of those crystal thing added in the later gens. Im a jp collector, so terastal fes which is holiday set would be huge for me and i prob get a case. I think that surging sparks fine, but pikachu pretty overrated and also overpriced. My assumption is that in 2 years we will see prismatic booming.
I preordered surging sparks and prismatic ETBS at the same time. Obviously I will get the Prismatic evolutions in Jan when it comes out. But I’ll admit I was having some FOMO when I ordered them. Surging sparks is a beautiful set but it’s so interesting WHY certain sets get so much hype and others don’t! I really LOVE Paradox Rift and it’s one of the least popular Scarlet and violet set. Pokemon is crazy sometimes
Why is chilling reign never mentioned? Look at the top 10 cards and the total set value. Why is the comparison always Lost origin or fusion strike as the second best set of S&S? The top chase card of those 2 sets is better but look at the depth and value of chilling reign. Just hate that it never gets recognized.
People will always think of the chase card when evaluating a set. Having a better best possible pull trumps average quality of pull when thinking of opening packs with gamble brain. I agree chilling should be seen as on a very similar level to LO/fusion but it just isn't for this reason.
I love chilling reign and it is extremely deep. It is definitely underrated but it also lacks some of the most popular Mons for the top end chases. It's still a great set but surging has everything.
i am 100 percent in on prismatic evo i am not even touching surging sparks, kinda hurts. But im a die hard eevee fan and eeveelution fan over pikachu so it sadly wasnt too hard of a decision
Surging sparks really only has the milotic, Pikachu and Latias Sir….that’s no evolving skies at all. Evolving Skies housed the Gold Stars for modern times and will go down in histroy as one of Pokemon’s best set to ever release. Prismatic Evolution now could be the next Evolving Skies but still won’t class the Alts in there because S&S had some of the most well illustrated Alt Pokemon cards in recent times. I’ve yet to see anything out of S&V that Wows me. Pikachu….meh…looks like a manga art cover …..Latias….maybe ….151….meh….there’s so much art out of S&S that wowed me….the list isn’t enough for this comment. Still waiting for Pokemon to illustrate a Rayquaza that tops Gold star version though….The crown of this era is nothing compared to the Vmax of last era….Pokemon needs to get better with ideas…don’t fall for the fomo…because while all of you are wasting your time on these recent sets people like myself is buying up the market on S&S 👀
Surging Sparks better than evolving skies, and Prismatic. Prismatic doesnt even look like a good set. It will also be printed into the ground just like CZ and will have super easy pull rates making the cards worthless.
i agree with the crown zenith comparison as its been stated that it will be officially printed for 9 MONTHS STRAIGHT but i think the demand is very very high so idk what will happen
He’s smoking Reggie I’m on that good and surging is ass. Evolving is fire 🔥 he must’ve not of opened any back then or can’t afford it. Just because sets were printed to the ground doesn’t mean the the won’t be valuable. 151 ie you can still find it and it’s just a year old 🤷♂️
Surging Sparks is vastly over rated. Ok Pikachu is cute but the SIR is not a great card. Very average art imo. Yes SS is the best set so far in S&V other than 151 but seriously that didn't take much. People were jonesing for a good set and SS delivers there. The Pikachu is selling based on Pikachu's popularity and the difficult pull rate. It's not because of the art. This is not an iconic card with unbelievable art like Moonbreon. People have over reacted. This is a good set not a great set. Be honest now how many people went to the store looking for Vivid Voltage after Evolving Skies was released. There are alot of similarities between VV and SS. Once Prismatic Evolutions releases nobody is going to be looking to buy SS. SS will be to PE what VV was to ES. SS is alot more like VV than it is ES or PE. PE is going to be alot more than slightly better than SS. When S&V comes to an end SS imo won't be considered the best set. Nor will it be considered the second best set. And not even likely the third best set. I think 151, PE and Team Rocket will all easily be considered better sets than SS. SS is over hyped and really it's only a good set not a great set but the Pokemon community is getting spoiled and we're starving for something good and that's what SS delivers. It's a good set just because it's better than all S&V sets not named 151 doesn't mean it's a great set. I expect to see SS prices to come crashing down once PE is released and that Pikachu SIR is not a good enough card to carry SS in the same manner as the Moonbreon. There is light years of difference between those two cards. And there will be between the sets as well.
imo prismatic will most likely be a better set than surging sparks (the art + sheer amount of hits + eeveelutions), and a better long term hold
surging sparks is better for short term money w all the fomo, if that’s what you’re into

"the milotic is easily the best card" based on what? Everything is subjective in pokemon. It is simply demand that shoots up the price of some cards
This set is way better than lost Origin not even close. 2 hits compared to like what 6 or 7 hits. Not even close.
@@vahdethodzic2637 you answered your own question my guy, it’s called an opinion lol.
@@roxyboxy69 Weak hits if you aren't a crown wearing fan.
The market is right. Not you.
I bought Surging Sparks and pre order Prismatic. Surging Sparks doing well so far pull the Alolan Exeggutor ex. but I still looking for SWSH boxes
I hate the price movement of SS but I do like the Latias way more than Tera eeveelutions. I do think prismatic will perform better. Crazy time in the hobby. People are super bullish and that’s amazing love to see it. Just worried people might way over pay.
Completely agree mate, thanks for sharing I really enjoy ur content
Nice channel, enjoying the content!
Just found your channel with this video. Great content!
I love your content man. I hope this comment helps you get to your 6k subscriber milestone. Please keep it up!
Best set so far but I feel like it's not gonna top the next few
I just love love love Surging sparks
My prediction. Prismatic is the next Crown Zenith. With so many SIRs it’ll probably have similar hit rates. It’ll be relatively easy to pull the good cards. And it’s going to released over a longer period of time than other specialty sets.
If I’m betting Surging will do better long term than Prismatic because of the booster box and hard hit rates.
Or it could be the next 151
The new Set prismaric Evolution will exceed the 151set since its released during christmas Time, the best time to being out, i will invest in it!
Surging Sparks may not be that good in general, but the Pikachu EX SIR is already a modern classic and will be a hot seller for a very long time.
Great insight 🙏🏽
Hoping I made be right decision going with Surging Soarks
I’m not a huge fan of these two sets. But based on how things are so high in demand it’s hard to read.
Should I bother buying blister and 3 pack blisters for way cheaper? Or wait till a reprint? 😢

stonks!
lol yep
I am looking more forward to Prismatic Evolution - though I guess pull rates gonna be tough
I preordered surging sparks and prismatic ETBS at the same time. Obviously I will get the Prismatic evolutions in Jan when it comes out. But I’ll admit I was having some FOMO when I ordered them. Surging sparks is a beautiful set but it’s so interesting WHY certain sets get so much hype and others don’t! I really LOVE Paradox Rift and it’s one of the least popular Scarlet and violet set.

I hate that in my local area they’re only selling etbs or singles. All booster boxes are out of stock since the release on every trustable source
i am 100 percent in on prismatic evo i am not even touching surging sparks, kinda hurts. But im a die hard eevee fan and eeveelution fan over pikachu so it sadly wasnt too hard of a decision
im buying both to be fair >.
When you make a Team Rocket 2025 video
price went crazy
I like this video 😍😍😍

you buy them both... 2 months ago.. next

U smoking some good good.
Give me something

Don´t buy the Hype. 👽
That Magneton promo card is the only good thing from Sparks. All the rest is garbage 🗑️ including that Pikachu
