8 MUST-HAVE Pokémon Investments! 🚀

[@PokeeCorey]

If the Kingdra and Greninja weren't promos they would be insane right out the gate. The art on both of them is S tier.

[@CostaSeal]

As a collector I'm glad they are easier to acquire, especially since pull rates have gotten harder.

[@PokeeCorey]

@@CostaSeal Oh I agree. I would hate to have to spend $300 dollars on each of these.

[@dylanfitzpatrick9423]

Yep they were the straw that broke the camels back for me, I now have started a S&V promo binder

[@kyleharris2980]

@@CostaSealits crazy how cheap singles are now. I could buy a full set with no alt arts for the price of 2 booster packs lol. And for all the alt arts about the price of a booster box and a half

[@CapBaileyASMR]

agreed. Def would've been chase cards for everyone. Now they're bulk lol

[@flare31777]

Funny but am I the only one who actually like Kingdra promo over Greninja promo? (Both are great but Kingdra is top for me). Thanks for the nice video Phil! 👍😎

[@fictixn]

Same here! That Kingdra card is amazing 😎

[@BTKVENOM43]

Agreed

[@Dre9six]

You're not alone, that kingdra card is one of the only traditional Japanese art style cards and that makes it incredible in my eyes

[@SEETHESOUNDS]

This guy is speaking straight facts. It’s insane how much he has thought about the factors of collecting. I’m impressed.

[@munigarg3771]

4:34 Finally someone agrees that obf zard is good.

[@tayloreh]

Paldean Fates ETB for sure is left in the shadows. A time will come for it - even just having that gorgeous Mimikyu artwork makes it feel really slept on to me and very collectible. I'm hoping in a few months to still get the Pokemon Center ETB without some ridiculous price increase.

[@thehobbydad6930]

The more common phrase is that we are in a "Junk slab error". So many cards are being graded like Moonbreon and Van Gogh Pikachu by PSA or other grader's for example that the market is being saturated with cards being graded to the moon. It's the main reason a raw card is the same price as a PSA 9.

[@Mobile_Man123]

Paldean fates have so good hit rates that it’s hard to hate on the set

[@Deezpacks]

My giant stack of bulk would beg to differ 😂

[@DanimalPacks]

Paldean fates is definitely undervalued and unappreciated. I don't see lokemon reprinting this set because of 151 and paldea evolved.

[@georgeallen4007]

I picked up the charizard in a PSA 10 for $260 this weekend 😅

[@newjones1754]

The 151 legendary birds card is such a banger. I love that card. There are some nice sets on there way and i'm curios for what the future holds. It's a good day to be a Pokemoncollector. Great video like always!

[@phillips.collectibles]

Appreciate that newjones!

[@_SYDGAMING_]

As a yugioh player i just started playing pokemon tgc. I played the games and stuff but never the tgc. My gf plays so i said id start playing with her. Got use to the game pretty fast with tgc live app. Way less confusing than yugioh for sure. Plus its a good way to bond more with my gf. This is definitely a good shout when i start buying cards now

[@Lita3O2]

the kingdra does have excellent artwork, the greninja is great too but i actually prefer the kingdra. you're probably right about obsidian flames being underrated. its a charizard set with some nice looking cards, so that probably doesn't hurt.

[@GigaChadow]

Solid choices! I can’t wait to see crown zenith explode in like 5 years. It’ll be cool to look back on this in a year and see what happens! Hope things are well man love seeing you post content!

[@pokeflips_]

Awesome video‼️💥 I feel the 151 Alakazam is better than the Zapdod. Both sick cards

[@EXM123]

Super glad you went over these sets and cars! Was wondering about the future of these sets in particular

[@silen4809]

I really enjoy seeing what singles you think are sleeper hits. Cool!

[@hishamarafat7217]

I can't remember seeing this much hype for 2 promo cards BEFORE RELEASE in recent Pokémon history. Deservedly so, they are magnificent. Great video bro.

[@phillips.collectibles]

Appreciate that my bro!

[@Pokenholes]

Charizard for the W

[@mephisto--]

Great video !

[@tainanking]

Pretty good content. You should have more subs. Video quality quite good too

[@frogartti]

Kingdra and greninja won’t have high raw values but they might have high graded values

Like some $15 raw $125 in a 10 type thing

Two things…. What are your thoughts on the shrouded fable… I’m only interested in a few cards .. one being the Persian and the other is the duskull evolution line… as for that nothing else is that exciting.. your thoughts…. And also can you give some creative advice on…. Poke proceeds.. gengar vs bulbasaur clip… I appreciate it … love your channel

[@k8wf]

Agree with you completely on the sealed main line SV booster boxes. They were so cheap last year and I wish I had stocked up on more. Online stores had them at £70-80 each which is unbelievably low and probably close to distributor price. They've slowly crept up in value over the past few months and even with a reprint, I can't see them ever being available at much lower than £95.

[@vanlux5479]

What is your thoughts on the recent CT scanner/X-ray on sealed product videos coming out recently? Knowing it's possible to look into a sealed product and see what the holo is seems pretty detrimental to sealed investing if it becomes mainstream.

[@rjthemoneymantoo]

From what I’ve seen, it is not widely accessible to everyone but question is when people turn it into some sort of business strategy to cheat people out of the product they’re getting.

[@Thomas.V.-223]

Another great video brother.

[@phillips.collectibles]

Thanks for the visit

[@yungscarecrow9402]

7:49 i've purchased one etb of scarlet&violet for the Miraidon promo as it's stunning in my opinion and also got the Gardevoir ex 245 from it, lucky purchase as i got the etb on a huge discount

[@KENZOkm]

I honestly think that even though that SV Base set booster box didn't get much traction at first, it's definitely gonna rise up in value in 5-10 years. Even those mid Sun & Moon sets are crazy expensive nowadays

[@phillips.collectibles]

100% my man

[@cooperlewis8098]

Do you have a video planned that includes the sea and sky crown zenith box.

[@nicholascatalano6378]

CZ etbs are slowly going up in price but getting them now is still a good buy in price as well as the singles which have decreased from their mini boom. Not down to previous prices but sitll decent prices

[@ItZ_BIGHAM88]

Broski i love your vids its really helping me break down of what to look for

[@fictixn]

I'm hoping to get the Kingdra promo card. I can live without anything else from Shrouded Fable tbh 😅

[@kalizibeozi7348]

Same I don’t really like the set

[@GodRareCollectibles]

So far, in terms of the S&V era, besides 151, Paldea Evolved & Twilight Masquerade are the sets to keep an 👁 out for. Obsidian Flames, aint too bad but the chase cards in that set aren't worth much at all. I get its a Charizard set and all, but the artworks are average in my opinion. Anyways, good video as usual man.✌️

[@shatterpate1103]

Paldea Evolved singles will fall off over time, the fish is only an IR, which isn't very hard to pull, and the second most valuable card is a Trainer, which historically don't hold value in modern. The last point will also effect Twilight Masquerades Carmine and Perrin which are #2 and #3, turning TM into a Silver Tempest tier box if the Greninja stays around 200-250 raw in the first year.

[@LeftPreston]

People need to remember too, lost origin isn’t even 2 years old yet, just wait…

[@aarongreen2064]

If this video would have been made a month ago then twilight masquerade would have been 1. Booster boxes have jumped 20 bucks over the past month. Insanity!

[@JD022]

Picked up the zapdos 151 for $20 shipped on eBay ✅

Great videos, im quite new here but I have been watching almost all your recent videos, Im also somehow new to Pokemon collecting. I have started to collect all the masterballs from 151 in the Japanese set. What is your take on those cards? I think they are and will be a great investment card wise. Cheers from Sweden!

[@phillips.collectibles]

Love them too! I’ll need to make videos about Japanese

[@Jimmiehammarstrom47]

@@phillips.collectibles Sounds great!

[@barrettcollector]

Hey man, no offense, but don't you think calling two cards which have yet to be released a "must have pokemon investment" a bit of a stretch? Cheers!

[@phillips.collectibles]

Hey! Thanks for tuning in, and no offense taken. These lists are mainly my opinion. Although I do admit that these artworks are completely unique and unseen before within the TCG. They are very loved already. Plus only can be acquired through promo boxes. We’ll see how they go!
