151 Prices Sink AGAIN! Time to Buy this Japanese JUGGERNAUT!

Welcome back to the wonderful world of Pokémon investing. I'm your host, Rob Burns. And tonight I'm drinking Selection Apple Juice, 100% and talking about Japanese 151. The prices are tanking again and it's time to get out your wallet and buy a booster box for your grandkids to inherit after you pass away.
Analysis includes PowerPoints slides I made using data from tcgfish and pokedata.io and some images I found online.
There will be talk of singles as well, including fan favourites like Pikachu, the most expensive card in the set, Erika, the most expensive waifu trainer, and of course, Charizard. We cannot forget about him. People love Charizard.
Nothing in this video is sponsored. Brian, I do want to know which hair styling products you use. And as always, this video is for entertainment purposes only. Your financial decisions are you own.

Really crazy how the psychology around this set has shifted with the increase in supply. It's almost like this opportunity is being overlooked by so many now that it's much cheaper and more available. I'm getting as many boxes as I can in the $60-70 range if possible.

[@tcgbuyersclub]

Totally! People don’t like to admit it but cognitive biases are real. In my opinion this is the classic combo of the Scarcity Bias (we value hard to find things more) and the Price-Quality Heuristic (we straight up value expensive things more). In this case: it becomes less scarce and cheaper and people stop caring. Give it a couple years and there will be a lot of folks who regret ignoring this opportunity!!

[@KyzeeKy]

Yes!!! This is so true

[@somesteak6100]

Don’t worry, this set will be “to die for” when it’s back to $200+. People will be screaming to buy it especially once it’s $400+. Same with stocks. Same with crypto. Same with housing etc. you buy more now = you win

[@tcgbuyersclub]

@@somesteak6100 I agree with you 😊

[@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax]

Dude what the hell are you talking about…. People bought so many boxes 2-3 weeks ago when the “reprint” hit that MANY MANY sellers had to cancel orders because there just wasn’t enough product…. People were buying it like CRAZY!! And they still are… lol

[@cyrax83]

There's a large re-print confirmed for June / July! Get ready for cheap boxes!

[@Robdoespokemon]

Time to buy!

Will the price drop more?:)

For the English or japanese set? Would you then wait to buy instead of buying now? I'm in Scandinavia.

[@Mejoree113]

Itching to buy some £65 boxes... And shiny treasure at £30 is still insane to me... But alas I don't get paid until next week and this month has been an expensive one... I hope the deals last 😢

[@carr0255]

Shiny treasure is so slept on, absolute steal at that price

[@MomentsWithNick]

Great video, Rob! By the way, the Pika Master Ball has 4.5k 10s, the Charizard SAR has 9.5k, and the Erika 6.5k. Not sure where you got your pop report numbers from but they clearly haven't been updated in a while ^^

Hey so I'm using tcg fish and you're right. I'm going to stop using it and just search them manually again. Quite a bit of their info is off now I see it. Thanks for pointing this out 🥃

Dropped to £60 a box in UK today. Wild price as it included shipping and no tax. I’ve been buying some from Japan for ¥10000 so whichever way you look it’s a golden time to buy some boxes. Also picked up some Sun and Moon set boxes which were going cheap-as I think people are trying to shift stuff to buy into these 151 deals and Sword Shield. Fairly volatile times 😂

Picked up 2 from Sakura no shrink for $60 each and picked up sealed one online from TikTok shop for $35 with new customer promo

[@Robdoespokemon]

Sakura no shrink is a game changer. The Tik Tok promos can be insane, dude. Awesome pickups! 🥃

[@SDCISHERE]

What is the TikTok site?

[@Theu131]

Why would you buy unsealed if you are going to hold? Doesn’t make any sense to get a box without shrink wrap unless you are gonna open it.

[@Robdoespokemon]

@Theu131 yea I'm assuming he's opening it. Sakura do have tamper proof seals on as someone likely just bought from a store in Japan and wants to flip. But for investing its best to do shrink wrapped IMO

Buy buy buy! Smoking opportunity on an amazing set! Those masterball reverses AND the fact this is a booster box unlike English to me make it a no brainer versus sealed English 151.

[@chrisbenson7532]

Love Eevee Heroes, personally I like that set a lot more than 151, and I have a lot more confidence in that set. 151 has seen massive reprints, prices on singles have dropped. While Eevee Heroes did have a reprint, it wasn't large and boxes spiked shortly afterwards. Eevee Heroes is also a much smaller set when you take into account the Master Ball reverses. The singles in Eevee Heroes will out preform anything from 151. To pull the top chase in a box of 151 (Pikachu MB) you have a 1 in 156 chance. In Eevee Hero (Umbreon V Mas Alt) you have a 1 in 86 chance per box. The Umbreon is worth $1,500. 151 might be worth slightly more, I'm not really sure, but 151 is made up a lot less valuable cards. Just my opinion.

[@Dire_Hit]

151 had only one reprint and might only have one. Big one tho it may be, Eevee heroes had, If I remember correctly, three big reprints. September 2022 was the last EH reprint. 6 months later it was a $400 box. Personally I like 151 much more than Eevee heroes, but I don't expect the market to feel the same.

[@chrisbenson7532]

I was extremely bullish on Eevee Heroes. Have seven sealed booster boxes, Gym Set and a Master Set. I was collecting Japanese before Japanese exploded. Eevee Heroes went up for general sale on the Pokemon Center site and it sold out in about 3 seconds, all bought out by bots.. If you wanted it you had to pay X3 retail which at the time was unheard of. I was actively buying boxes. No one was buying cases, because that wasn't a thing. They for the most part were not available. The reprint hit a few weeks later, again boxes were available but no cases. There was no reprint on the Gym Set. The reprint brought the prices down a little bit, bit it didn't crash the prices. The third reprint if there was one, was small and didn't affect the market price, otherwise I would have bought more boxes. 151 went from 5x retail to now 2x retail and still falling. Facebook sellers for 151 have hundred of boxes of 151, litterly a room filled with boxes and cases. PCJ was wholely unprepared for the popularity of Eevee Heroes. I would hazard a guess the 151 total print so far is 50 to 1 when compared to Eevee Heroes.

By the way i went to my distro guy yesterday to buy some boxes for 80 euro's a piece and he told me that he has a lot of unwrapped boxes from Japan as well for just 10 euro's cheaper per box. He said the reprint is big, there will be several waves, but he does not think it will be Vstar universe 2.0. I agree, because this set has way more demand than crown zenith or even Evee heroes.

I'm looking for horny singles. Specifically Ryhorn 😂. I agree with your take. I am bullish on jap 151 at this low price.
