Is Sam's Club NEW $40 Sea & Sky Collection Worth Picking Up?

Picked up 3, got 28 hits from 42 packs. Nothing crazy, no golds, but it was such a fun opening! So much amazing artwork, even the basic art rares look fantastic.

[@Luger718A1]

They still have these in stock online, just check throughout the day. Managed to place an order for 3 today.

[@BrilliantPokeZenith]

The bad thing is if you start collecting with CZ (like me) you get really disappointed opening other sets when all you get is a holo. I opened two of these and got the Arceus, Giratina, Mewtwo, Leafeon Vstar and other GGs out of them it was insane

[@CollectorNoah]

Insane deal never get anything like this in the UK

[@BeckyandNick-v6d]

Wife and I bought 10 boxes opened 1 and got two gold cards last night. I still haven’t slept

[@TwicebakedJake]

Dang, I think I've pulled one gold in the last 200 packs

[@BeckyandNick-v6d]

@@TwicebakedJake besides those 14. My wife had the most insane beginners luck to the hobby. We had pulled about 18 packs of CZ before and only pulled the deoxys Vmax and zoroark v star!!

These are definitely hit or miss. I opened one and only got 3 hits, no alts. Opened another and got 14 hits with 4 alts.

When you said open a pack when your feeling down I felt that lol always cheers me up when I rip packs

Way better than the Costco bundle for 70 bucks. Which i stupidly bought last week.

[@Kitsumari]

151 etb one is actually great value

[@PeterBParker2398]

@@KitsumariHe meant a Crown Zenith etb for $70 at Costco

[@ZacharySwoffer]

Ok yes the price is much. But when you pull the alt art. It is so worth it

[@1lionmurrill]

You’re sleeping on those Costco bundle. As a matter of fact, if Costco restocked that 151 bundle, it would be sold out in 12 hours. They are currently selling like hotcakes for $200.

[@SirOktarius]

Wow. This is like a 50% better/cheaper deal than what you can get in Europe for CZ packs. Crazy.

[@auggiefrasco9743]

Bro, Praise the Lord. My sister just oppend the first pack from this 14-pack box and got a $40 card!

[@abrahamcarrillo2688]

Need to pick one up before the hoarders come and wipe it out

[@Rinickulous1106]

Also make sure to get a centering tool to examine the 4 promo cards. Which ever has the best centering is the one you open and put in top loaders

[@kingkrool_gx_6030]

I'm a Sam's club employee and it's definitely selling I quickly grabbed mines today thinking about getting another and keeping it sealed

[@puudles]

I personally think this is one of the coolest (and best deal) box in the past couple of years though I really hate these ‘exclusive’ boxes from like costco and sams club or whatever.

[@dubbzcw5189]

Crud, USA deal only 🫠

[@paulleon1469]

I'm glad I got mine; keep it sealed as a collector item! Best set, best product, and a crazy price deal!

[@Icethebb]

I bought 30 boxes from my local club and pulled 12 gold cards ! And 4 mewtwo v stars what a deal !!!

[@jasonwatson2334]

My favorite set is crown zenith. My pulls were the best with that set. My binder and collection is centered around the 4 gold cards from that set. The true nature of my collection began with those 4 beautiful cards. The GOAT set in the last 10 years in my opinion.

[@TwicebakedJake]

Crown Zenith does have the best pull rate out of all English sets

[@michaelknowles7403]

is 14 packs of CZ worth $40. simple YES!

[@1lionmurrill]

Bought 12 boxes. Two for my daughter to open and 10 to add to her sealed collection. Hopefully she can have fun opening them with her kids or selling them.

[@chriscsongor2571]

Take a shot every time Jake says “crack open”

[@BT-su1yf]

I tried it, and now I'm a ghost

[@cesarj1210]

My kids opened one of these boxes, they pulled the Arceus Vstar GG and the Entei V GG, and like 7 more cheaper hits.

[@DJLucas610]

Grade those asap preserve it

[@Rinickulous1106]

God dammit i was gonna let it slide... guess ill get a sams club membership... was thinking of getting 4 total. Open 2 . Keep two sealed. Its crazy. Scalpers are already selling this bundle for 130$ on other sites. Crown zenith is a set where you try to say if only this set had this or that, but you dont say that. Crown zenith is a near perfect set. And it will rise in price when there are no longer any fresh prints in a few years. Fellas and ladies, sealed product sells so much easier and higher than most single cards.

[@adamc4576]

You guys always get crazy deals and crazy products from these kind of sbops that dont exist in the uk. :(

[@ExtraFrogg]

Would love if they released similar products in Europe. Over here good deals are hard to come by

[@Thediecastvault]

I just bought one today and pulled a freaking origin forme dialga vstar🔥🔥🔥

[@DEZZIE08]

Gutted these didn’t release in the uk 🇬🇧 😏.. sick box tho Jake 👀👌🏻

[@JTrain1118]

Is it worth it? It’s the biggest no brainer buy of the year.

[@Xzi-izx]

So this box is US exclusive?

[@gaberon1]

Jake, is there somewhere that talks about specific artwork of various sets? For example, I've enjoyed crown zenith over the last year or so including the Gallarian Gallery. Do the artists talk or describe how they chose a specific representation?

[@TwicebakedJake]

There's the official pokemon card art instagram. They do post artist inspiration for cards and show the art in more detail. That may be as close as you can get to what you're looking for. instagram.com/pokeca_art_life/

[@yura37]

thanks for the reminder. finally saw them back in stock and just picked up 50. $3 for a pack of cz is criminal.

[@grantpelletier3603]

50? Really?? Why tho? Lmfao

[@Hungerforce412]

bruh, I got a dud box, zero hits in 1 box, I feel like I have to open another...

[@Mattyseee]

Great value, here is the kicker...they are being scalped and you cant find any in store or online.

[@PokeFX_Tube]

I got 10 of these!!! Insaneeeee pricing though. 140 packs = 14 videos of Crown Zenith 10 pack opening, lol. Couldn't let this pass though, it's insane.

[@jlrounds]

Thanks for sharing this information!

[@heavendragonclan-hdc7018]

sounds like a great deal, only if i lived in the Usa

[@truecasual2176]

Pffff these us prices are fucking nuts. In germany we never get such deals. 2.8$ per pack thats like 2.5€ I WISH.

[@SpeedySdeepy]

Europe in general. Europeans can only dream on such sales for Pokemon or any other TCG. The only time I’ve seem Pokemon TCG with discounts is during holidays and because product was in a rough shape, to put it kindly.

[@NukaN3rd]

Was worth it when CZ packs were over $5, but now, because of this box, they have dipped down to $3 and change, so not as worth it now as it was when these first dropped.

[@TheMultigladius]

Thank you big dog Jakie 🎉

[@donutchoppazGO]

You got me convinced Jake!

So I decided to buy 2 after I got off cus I work at sams and just opened them today and uhh I pulled Arceus vstar and Glaceon vstar so I made money I got super lucky

You can shop online without a member's card

[@3hirdtimesacharm]

@@TwicebakedJake No, you do indeed have to be a member to at least get delivery or pickup. I just tried without signing into my account.. but maybe it varies from different Sam's? At least here in FL. Not shocked, the same applies to Costco. You have to be a member to get the deals.

[@3hirdtimesacharm]

@@TwicebakedJake Technically you are right you can "shop" as in view and add items to your cart on Sam's site but you can't purchase without a membership 😁

[@sIosha]

No, but trying to order without a memebership shows an $8 non-member fee.

You can keep one sealed if you like how it looks on display, it looks clean with the Rayquaza & Kyogre. But this box is definitely a value open

[@auggiefrasco9743]

@@MartySumo Hello! I really dont want to ruin the pokemon hobby. I really like it. I thought it would be good to have fun in the hobby while making money, you cant deny that that doesn't sound nice. Can you plz tell me more about what you mean? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or what I said wrong. What I'm trying to say is this is a great deal and if sams club runs out of them in the future then I can sell them for a little bit higher (still a good deal on these amazing/fun packs) so that people can continue to have fun opining these packs for cheap. I'm sorry if I ruin the hobby and write this long defence, I just feel like I have good intentions, don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I feel a little bit offended about you saying get a life. Don't get me wrong, I respect you and would like to hear more what you mean. I would like advice. Thanks! Peace!

[@auggiefrasco9743]

@@MartySumo What I meant was, since it's such a good deal, will the cards in this set be worth less because more people are buying them?

[@ShwoogsRUs]

I looked up the card values & most are worth pennies, like average of nearly 25 cents a card. Some are worth like $1-5, but not many cards are even in the dollars range and the ones that are seem to be worth only like $2 and some change. One is like $13 and it’s the most expensive, otherwise I would have bought it off the market place. Seems only the older vintage ones are worth investing in, these new ones are essentially worthless and I guess are for actually playing the game rather than collecting or reselling them for a profit/hobby
