Tbh… the problem I think with me and maybe even more people out there, is that I’m seeing literally every single card in the sets weeks and months before they come out sometimes. After awhile I don’t even know if I want to spend money trying to open any wondering what I will pull. When I was a kid I did give a shit because there was only base set and I didn’t google what all was in the set… we just open a pack up and see what we get and be grateful we got a freakin holo 😂

[@matttran7161]

It was also A LOT easier to master a set. I did it with base, jungle, and fossil AS A CHILD with kid allowance money. Like you can buy a booster of base and have half the holos. These modern 300 card sets with garbage hit rates ain't it.

[@Dustin_Mc]

Facts @@matttran7161 …. Facts! Still remember trading certain cards I wish I shouldn’t and and definitely wishing I would’ve grabbed more packs, or went and found the shadowless first edition packs still easily out and about

[@T11439]

Agreed, youtubers ruin the fun in my opinion

[@eg5595]

Those were the days!

[@Poke_Kenobi]

Honestly this is why I don’t try and see the sets before I open them, part of the fun is the suspense of seeing what the set has to offer when it comes out and when you open them. I looked at zero of the PR cards before release.

[@TH-1988]

Pokemon might as well turn itself into Digimon, because that's the direction I'm seeing here. 💯

[@nicklinn5731]

I wouldn’t call it under rated so much as it’s overshadowed. People are still going nuts over 151, plus an announcement for the Japanese spring set.

[@JediMasterT]

I'd say it's both depending on who's video you watch lol. I have seen a few videos saying people just don't like the set and it's going to flop harder than any others. I haven't seen a video yet that says this set is good lol. This is the first one.

[@mf8759]

I purchased $160 worth of 151 for my girlfriends birthday me then she found the ONLY mew box at Meijers so I went 50/50 on that for her for her birthday too. I’m funding her ability to collect the master set 😂

[@blazingfiregaming]

i ordered a box for 113 and i may try to get one by the end of the year hoping it comes down so i can have a little left to buy the erika card from 151 on the side

[@Pikachewe]

Great set ,l already ordered a few ETB, and I am going after Mela, Seda, Tulip, and Parasol Lady Waifu characters and the reset will be bonus!. Love the gold set and look amazing in SV04. Can't wait.😅

[@Mellowpeekos]

Funny I pulled the gold garchomp EX, & pulled the regular full art roaring moon, also got 3 regular illustration rares

[@JMAN320]

We’ll a lot of collectors are probably sleeping on other tcg’s but this set looks ok

[@aurelquintana8279]

I think Obsidian Flame is underrated and people are sleeping on it instead since they are tired of Charizard. It might get a reemergence in a couple of years.

[@jamesgraves9858]

It was actually bearable to open

[@TCGToad]

I think this is the best set of SV era so far! IMO even better than 151 overall. I might pick up a booster box of this set! :D

[@hitmonkim]

The illustration rares from the set is fantastic. I the cards that depict Pokemon in the real world. Super excited for Steelix and Porygon-Z!

[@johnkim9086]

I love paradox rift. I legit think this set will be the most expensive scarlet violet set next to 151. I feel like this is the baby version of evo skies so much alt arts in the same rarity tier.

[@sonofamerc]

Definitely bringing on the new era with this set, finally - and will have a huge impact on the meta

[@StonedReaper23]

Opened a booster box today trying to pull the groudon. But unfortunately it was a no go. Got both the SIR and full art mela but my favorite pull was the magby IR

[@vandermeerkaine9053]

I'll admit I slept on it until a couple weeks ago, until I started seeing all the rares. This set is amazing

[@SoonerSquatch]

HAHAHA

[@rubennieves8248]

Being a newer collector this really pumps me up for this new set. I hope it's easier to find than 151. Awesome job, keep up the great work.

[@magicalgores3416]

Same. Started with this set today.

[@joshuastreet8664]

this is the first set i haven’t preordered anything since i got back into the hobby in 2020. just too many expenses right now… i’ll come back when the prices on boxes go sub $100

[@LOV3TACO]

I just got back into Pokémon for the dueling aspect. Trying to play the game also opened the collector in me. I’ll probably go heavy into this set.

[@brandonutchan]

im in the same boat and pre ordered 2 booster boxes

[@Kirugoa]

good for yall actually enjoying the hobby instead of gambling or whatever these fools cry about with the set having "no chase" lmao sounds like addiction

[@LOV3TACO]

@@Kirugoa right! Honestly, getting the rare cards for me is like free money. I was never good about holding on to things. 😂

[@jaetrnn6000]

I started collecting Pokemon tcg very recently and after having a decent collection of crown zenith and opening some 151's too, I realised how difficult it's starting to get to get a hand on those packs for a good price (in 151's case, for a reasonable price). I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but I decided to collect a non specialty set which would make finding cheap packs way easier and ultimately decided on paradox rift which honestly appealed to me the most out of all the scarlet and violet sets and it's going to be my first new release set. Super excited.

[@MattyV3]

Illustration rare average per box is 3. Most ive seen is 4 and that was back in paldea evolved after watching a multitude of booster box openings. And ive never seen 5 in a q booster box

[@Gobey1Kenobi]

🎉 Some really great looking cards ❤ I love the cool looking feel of the future cards, definitely going to pick up some singles

[@vincejabroni8338]

That GOSSAN Porygon-Z is my favorite illustration art of 2023. I'm gonna buy a bunch while the price is low and have streamers sign them at conventions next year. The 1337 PorygonZ.

[@Kjekking2007]

I totally agree, this set is amazing!

[@andrewtobias4545]

The roaring moon full art is super underrated imo. The card just pops imo.

[@nickfeness]

Been holding off on your videos until i got my pokemon center paradox rift etbs because i wanted some first reveal excitement in person. Ive opened 1 etb and it had the roaring moon ex SIR and the steelix IR. Also the regular tulip trainer card and a couple ex cards. Gotta say im beyond stoked with my luck and this set.

[@chrisgraphs1015]

I have never bought a booster box but i think i will for this set.

[@zacharyseiders5793]

I mostly don’t care too much about the card game. But the Paradox Pokémon were enough that I’m itching to get the complete collection on every available para mon. (New favorite group.) Might get a booster box myself come next month.

[@Joelyrollify]

If I get 2 roaring moons in the box, I preordered, I'll probably also need a change of pants. Happy for you lol

[@InkableCardboard]

Other than 151 this is my favorite sv set, amazing art, super excited to open this week on video!

[@The_Card_Father]

I have the Tulip SIR and it is stunning. I'm very happy with this set.

[@matttran7161]

The art is good but Im going to get singles because they def nerfed the pull rates. I watched at least a dozen box openings and it looks like only 1 SIR or Gold per booster instead of 2 SIR or 1 of each.

[@jomega_gaming]

For me personally, while there are some great illustration rares (love that steelix) but..... I'm not keen on the paradox designs of Pokémon or the tera thing, saw it when they announced it for the switch game and thought "..... Meh". So yeah thinking that most of the big pulls will be off then types, it's not for me personally. Great channel btw, you seem to actually enjoy the art and cards rather then just going thru to see what's valuable, they take the fun out of it. Edit: ok the 3 illustrations you pulled E pretty nice 😅

[@frogartti]

Shhh I don’t want anyone to know how slept on this set is 😂

[@krambone5531]

Big fan of this set! Hope to get some deals during the holidays and when my wallet cools off from 151 lol

[@CatBack94]

Awesome set, cant wait for friday

[@JediMasterT]

Wheres the link?! I want that gold card lol. Nice pulls

[@dspokemoncards6184]

Havent got to open it im really looking forward to it.

[@Inks_Energies]

Congrats on the Norman pull! I may be the only one actually looking for that card for my Gen3 collection lol

[@TwicebakedJake]

It's Dad!

[@James_oo7]

I couldn’t agree with you more on paradox rift they are very nice looking cards!

[@omargutierrez1446]

Got roaring on my 4th pack

[@CatBack94]

Nice

[@jaytoosweet5365]

W

[@Penterror]

The Tera gold cards are a miss but the paradox ones look super cool

[@tflceia]

I love the paradox pokemon and I got hyped since the first teaser… then I saw tones of illustration rares and damn… this set is amazing. Way better than SV base set, paldea evolved and obsidian flames.

[@robertf4157]

I'm skipping but not skipping it. I'm just not feeling the set as an Oh MY! set. I will admit I still focused on 151. I may grab a pack here and there but not all in like Paldea or 151.

[@whitest_rabbit69]

Really digging the art in this run

[@cryptomon86]

just sweptt some cases of 36 for under 85 bucks. just seemed too cheap. I learned to snipe the cheap stuff and not go all in on the current obsession. I am very heavy in 151 but looking for value on Booster boxes where I can. Dollar cost average most

[@curiouscollectiblesAU]

Calling it now. Roaring M00n is going to get the Superman meme treatment.

[@ColtyT33]

You just opened my eyes to Norman’s name, wow

[@andrewjoseph5656]

I agree with other people in the comments. How can it possibly be underrated if it’s not even out yet.

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

CAUSE WE KNOW WHAT CARDS ARE IN THE SET AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY SAYING ITS GONNA FLOP LMAO y’all are DENSE bro

[@andrewjoseph5656]

@@ThisOffendsMeTV dense? I’ve been collecting since 1997 BRO. I’ve seen it time and time again BRO. People hate sets before the even release and then end up loving it after it’s opened. Ecspecially in this day and age where people only care about value and not the Pokémon. If a card in this set ends up becoming valuable then all a sudden people are gonna love this set and claim it’s because they love Pokémon but truthfully the just love money. Dense? Watch who you talking too. Also it has to be rated by a large majority of the population to be considered under rated or over rated. And a big majority of Pokémon enthusiasts are children that haven’t seen the set or have been even able to open the set. Pokémon isn’t making sets just for the older collectors. Pokémon is leaned more towards players and children and this set has a ton of actual playable cards. Educate yourself you dense BRO.

[@Mercer1503]

Most people who say its underrated are still on the 151 hype and the pre-order prices reflect this. Can grab a boos box for £97

[@Turrent]

I love how people have already gone back and forth on this set before it even releases… I was told to hate obsidian flames as well but I love that set. Love your content- but those of us who don’t have access to these cards early roll our eyes at a title like this lmao

[@Kirugoa]

they arent TCG players first off and then they force this content for relevancy and then we get these weird takes

[@Chiheb_AK]

this set is great i love it

[@PokemonLogan2]

So hype for this set

[@K3rriganZerg]

I'm actually a big fan of the gold cards 😅

[@Andreas-xc3zh]

First s&v set I really want to open!! Gives my somewhat oldschool vibes!!

[@Zanon]

I had only two IR's in my box...

[@user-sz1so3py1b]

I bought five blister packs and got roaring moon ex

[@ecyvalon]

Honestly the set is way too big for me to try and pull the cards I really like. Will just buy singles.

[@dcsoda1]

The set isn’t even out yet?

[@luckyteep14]

How can it be underrated if its not even released yet? Smh. Edit: lol. The old title was “This set is underrated”. Got changed to slept on. I feel like the same sentiment stands though. Hard to make claims like that when the majority of people haven’t got their hands on it yet.

[@blazingfiregaming]

pre release people are seeing it as underated mostly do to how many new sets we got most dont got the money for it and also dont see it as interesting. though idk how

[@leonsanders7832]

It's not like people had zero opinion of 151 or Crown Zenith until its release. 151 was hype for months.

[@CatBack94]

I've seen it getting flamed a bit for whatever reason, he's probably referencing that point of view. I wouldn't get so upset about his analogy

[@nicklinn5731]

The whole set list has been out for a while. You can get some good insight based on people’s reactions to that.

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

LOL tryna be smart but failing We know which sets are gonna flop compared to others. The cards in the set are boonk in terms of resale value. It’s clear. You can tell before pre release my guy. Y’all wild lmao

[@aaronscott2278]

Is this set even out yet ? I stopped buying and opening in this new generation the big change just isn’t for me great video !

[@gothicbryan]

Nice pulls

[@Koragh_]

This hobby is overwhiling i join just to vollect vcards and end up buying bunch of ea elite box trainer box and buying boxes to complete fushion strike and paradox rift lol

[@user-pd6bd7ir4z]

151 is a great set but the pull rates on collecting the rare cards are truly that “rare”. It’s a very frustrating experience. Paradox rift on the other hand seems like a great set because it is very playable, tons of powerful cards , new ancient/future mechanic and TM 技マシン。　Pull rates are much more generous which can make it more fun to open. Sure prices will be nowhere near 151 in short term but whatever

[@christophermillett2273]

Shhhhh! let them sleep. More for me.

[@wavret9654]

Hey Jake, i want to invest a 1000€ in November, what set would you buy? ❤

[@TwicebakedJake]

The set you like the most

[@wavret9654]

​@@TwicebakedJakeCrown Zenith oder 151? 🤔 i like em both 🙊

[@paulleon1469]

Congrats on the GOLD!

[@bbq1040]

Pre release openings ruin sets before they are even out. Going in completely blind to sets make them better. I've done as much as I could to not look too much into this set or all future sets.

[@bulbasewer]

Banger box appreciate it

[@jacobmarquez547]

Hey Jake, My Pikachu Van Gogh card just came in the mail. It looks pretty good, could be either psa 9 or 10. Should I send it to PSA to get it graded? Lmk :)

[@willsola3412]

"If you practice what I preach, which is buying singles..." not 10 seconds later; "I highly suggest you pick up a booster box to crack it open!". Literally what are you saying?

[@ColtyT33]

Magby is my chase card

[@Max-my6rk]

I opened 3 booster boxes and did not even get that many hits like u.. so disappointed

[@ryanholding6167]

I would put this as a player set rather than a collector set

[@PokeSleepDeals]

Opossum Bud said some kind words about you.

[@TradingCard69]

Buying singles only for this set

[@MJRS23x]

This set will be 700 dollars in about 3-4 years

[@TheMultigladius]

Fuck, that Steelix is *tic* *tic* 👌

[@ThisOffendsMeTV]

People in the comments showing some single digit IQ. We know what’s gonna be a hot set before it’s released. Most fans know if there are crazy chase cards in the set or not. I doubt this will have any resale value and I doubt even a few of these cards will have decent value. This set ain’t no evolving skies. Basically is what Jake is saying. This is gonna be some Chilling Reign action. (Without Blaze lmao)

[@monkey39128]

Haha, that's what I thought. We knew Evolving Skies, Celebrations, Crown Zenith and 151 would do well. We also knew Rebel Clash, Battle Styles and Astral would struggle. Reading the mood of the market is easy nowadays because of the internet.

[@willpower1177]

Definitely going to pass on this set and pretty much the entire S&V era so far other than 151. There just isn't enough to get excited about to make ripping packs worth it.

[@MrJeorgelee]

Crown zenith ftw

[@jonahba17]

nice!

[@Waterboydust99]

Will jp booster of this be a good hold?

[@LoneWolff217]

Not even out yet lol

[@Mosessousa1]

Alright Jake, how much did Pokémon pay ya?😂😂😂😂😂

[@slim7934]

I feel like somebody told all the poketubers to pump this mid af set 😂

[@JuanGutierrez-vr7dj]

yes, thank you for calling Pokemon center on their shortcomings. during the last drop of the Pikachu van gogh they did me wrong. even though the card was in my cart after I paid, they still didn't sent it. I called support and they pretty much sent me packing. They threaten me with blocking me and not be able to make any purchases. Just because I asked about why the card was not sent. I even sent the screenshot of my cart after I paid. and they pretty much we don't have a say so. either take it how it is or leave the site...that was the worst customer support I've ever experience in my life by far...Thanks for speaking up for those of us who can't

[@enthused7591]

It's not as bad as SV base, but it's pretty weak to me. The Past vs Future thing reminds me of when Battle Styles came out and nobody knew that rapid strike and single strike would ultimately fizzle out. The artworks in the set are very mediocre as well as the main Pokemon they chose for the full arts and secret rares of the set. Not all that terrible, but mediocre. I'm glad people like it because I have zero interest in it when you can still get Crown Zenith and Lost Origin for cheap.

[@I.cant.wait.]

Actually a cool set. I still saving money for a lot of cards from 151 and the big Charizard from Obsidian flames so I have to pass on this set :(

[@noWafer]

How can a set be “slept on” if IT’S NOT EVEN RELEASED????

[@markusreinhold]

Not sleeping. Just dont waste Money no more .

[@samuelbourdeau1545]

My issue with this set is I’m only a fan of the 151 first Pokémon. So set 151 is PERFECT.

[@cheaseeds6207]

Nah

[@tvgreign9882]

It's not even released lolol

[@6ofwrev704]

You're Overrating....and we know why.

[@manny5848]

This set is not for me

[@T11439]

Tbj is one of my 3 favs for pokemon products. But I will say in that same breath, that youtubers ruin pokemon and heres why, Kids watch these individuals and listen to them when they say that theres one card or a few to go after. It completely alters the hobby. When youtubers make these videos and speak so loosely about pulls and their unhinged expectations for cards and or pulls due to " tik tok or Instagram " that they saw, it immediately changes the concept of collecting. I stopped watching these openings because it truly ruins the fun and excitement for me. Another example, some of these kids see that 151 has a chance at a multi pull pack. Now All i hear and see is people complain that they arent getting that luck and all of a sudden the set is trash, or "Rigged " its NOT. You all are allowing people to alter and INFLUENCE your perception and Concept of what the hobby is actually about. Youtune and socials have phucked thr actual hobby. The hobby is to collect, not to influence your supporters. Smh the world is dumb these days

[@BrandonKistler7]

Over-rated, set sucks! A couple of nice artworks but come on the full art ex cards are fugly!! The future concept is weak and half-baked, future!? That's what it's called!? Come on! Way too hyped

[@kennethtran4706]

Ugly art. I'm still buying 151.

[@mikekrone4582]

Artwork only goes so far. Obscure pokemon never sell well. Of course you are getting paid by TCG so you have to pump this set. Pretty shameless.

[@SoonerSquatch]

This set sucks!

[@CapitonnePlanet]

This set is going to age like milk. These are Pokemon no one gives a hoot about. As a collector zero of these cards look interesting.

[@monkey39128]

The dragon on the front is cool. Funny how it's literally just a redrawn Salamence though. 😂

[@magicalgores3416]

I have started my collection with this set.
