Is Investing in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Worth It?

[@Rob-ln8mq]

I’m big on 151, that set will age nice, so many cards worth more then the price of the booster pack.

[@Top_Loaded_JRGS77]

Paldea Evolved is the only booster boxes from Scarlet & Violet I am currently picking up but I am watching out for good deals on Paradox Rift. As for 151 I am not sure how well booster bundles will do in the future. Not really any data from the past to look at. I do think Japanese 151 will do very well long term. I think Singles for English 151 will be the way to go. Booster box investing is king and I just don't invest in special set alternate products. Sucks because just the thought of a Crown zenith booster box sounds amazing.

[@PokeJace]

Lots of potential with SV sets and singles to look at in the future

[@ChanceBingston]

151 should have a great future. Very popular set, it will be easy to sell

[@MrMasterSet]

SV Base is sooooooo under-rated! I mean, it's got a Wiglet Illustration Rare... what more can you want in a set?!?

[@alexandriaflarsen]

I just got back into the hobby last September or October so pretty much missed the sword and shield train. I absolutely love scarlet and violet though. I just bought my first case ever and it’s of temporal forces. My next pick up will be paradox rift.

[@ChanceBingston]

Same exact boat. As someone out of the hobby for 20 years I feel like I have a pretty unbiased opinion on SWSH and S&V and I gotta say S&V first half is blowing SWSH first half out of the water

[@AV-guard]

Paldea evolved is the set who has the most rare in SV, Evolving skies has the most rare in swsh era .

[@Monkeegenesgroup]

I really like S&V, buuuut SWSH chase cards are sooo much rarer

[@Trappedinnewyork]

Chase cards in swsh are monsters compared to sv era top chases

[@Monkeegenesgroup]

@@Trappedinnewyork yeah 👍

[@tchev44]

Yes because that was LAST era not the current one we’re in Lols

[@Trappedinnewyork]

@tchev44 not at all it was the best era when i was ripping it in 21/22...evolutions, gen1-4 pokemon not named 151,and pull rates

[@samersalama6275]

I really liked the SV era and honestly there’s a lot of cards. I’m trying to add to my collection. I love when I can get some special illustration a fairly cheap price. I know collecting singles isn’t really much of an investment but I just want them in my collection.

[@MrJubjub8000]

I’m strong on 151, came back in the game after hearing this was being released with all of the OG Pokemon. Currently English Master with all exclusive promos Eu/states + All of the big hits in Japanese collected. I’m now pushing into Graded 10’s and Master balls, in 5-10 years time I’m confident the value of 151 will be worth it. The hype train for it will continue to run

[@lincolngray1198]

I’m just not a fan of SV

[@chrisfoo9195]

Great vid! I came back into the hobby after 151. Love your content - it’s helped educate me a lot. A question for you: what do you think about the potential of 151 UPCs vs booster bundles? Trying to think about which is a better long term investment since there are no booster boxes. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work! :)

[@Top_Loaded_JRGS77]

I would love to hear Jace's thought as well but in my opinion the UPC is the best 151 product but I think the ETB is going to be the product with the biggest gains and I am not an ETB investor. I think the mini tins will be 2nd with booster bundles 3rd and UPC since it is so big will follow close behind these smaller products. I do think the 2 collection boxes, binder & poster boxes will all do well.

[@spencerharper6182]

I would love to hear this as well! I have both! Love the upc how it looks and the promos but do love the ease and convience of the booster bundles. Easy to store and ship. I think having both is 🔑

[@pkmnunite3283]

I don't think S&V has been a game changer by any means, but I also think people are overstating how "weak" S&V has been. S&V era has fantastic IRs and SIRs. It will age just fine as the years go along. People are expecting these massive era defining hits like the second half of both S&M and SWSH when we're just in the first half of S&V. These S&V sets will age way more gracefully than the Guardian Risings or Vivid Voltages. The biggest reason why everyone is sleeping on S&V right now is because they're all FOMOing on the alt arts, not because S&V has been bad.

[@Adam-Adamson]

I don’t think any S&V main sets need reprinting

[@DB_________]

Paldea will be reprinted so be careful for overpaying on Magikarps. Hopefully a reprint provides a better print quality

[@nicod8511]

I think temporal forces is overrated and card prices are going to continue to drop pretty significantly. If you look at the current 2 month timespan compared to paradox rift, I'd argue that paradox rift actually held it's value better in the first two months. Paradox rift currently has more cards over $10, even though it has fallen a ton overall. It seems like the value of most sets now depend on the biggest chase cards (fusion strike) but I don't think temporal forces will be able to hold up with the future and ancient SIRs (and a gengar trainer card).

[@SimonJALewis]

SwSh has actual chase cards. SV needs some monsters to compare to SwSh long-term

[@adamnavarro77]

temporal forces and 151 hands down. paldea will do well too. the other 3 id pass. I think twilight masquerade will be above paradox rift but below paldea evolved.

[@PokeJace]

Will be interesting to see!

[@Alflloyd64]

Not a good idea to invest in 151 right now as these prices r going up especially the etb , when it is reprinted I’m going all in at a lower price

[@bencortez9907]

If you want to invest in SV then as an option just buy the chase cards dirt cheap. When SV hits retail then everyone wants to invest.

[@PokeJace]

True they are cheap right now

[@MRGandee]

Sealed. Not singles. If you care about returns anyway.

[@WaxKing-p7g]

It is definitely worth it. Y’all can get in when FOMO Train rolls around 🤣

I think S&V is at best 25% as good as Sword and shield at the moment. Such lack lustre artworks for the mainpart, forgettable Pokémon and sets and easy pull rate in comparison

[@dcsoda1]

lol what? The SV artwork runs circles around sword & shield sets. It’s not even close.

[@TheMiltonroad]

@@dcsoda1 really lol? SV sets are like a 5yr old has drawn them in the playground
