I LOVE THIS!! SUPER GOOD FOR THE HOBBY!!!!!

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

It’s about time tbh, I was wondering when it was gonna happen

[@Troutfisch1]

So glad I own all the cards in your thumbnail already, picked up the Gengar and Lugia Alts at CAC a month ago and they’ve both jumped massively since then! 😅

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Ha ha yea nice

[@ravishingreptiles]

Appreciate your channel and how you always keep it real!! My 3-year-old and I watch your videos for breakfast every day :)

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Awww man wow thank you. That means a lot to me!

[@drathicusrex7244]

My Top 5 Sw&Sh Alt Arts - All pulled from packs: 1) Umbreon Vmax 2) Espeon Vmax (x3) 3) Umbreon V (x2) 4) Dragonite V 5) Tyranitar V

[@trentp1993]

Ok bud you opened 5000 different packs calm down

[@drathicusrex7244]

Not that many lol

[@VinnyDoesLife]

Cards I've pulled: 1) Umbreon Vmax 2)Rayquaza Vmax 3) Umbreon V (pulled 2) 4) Sylveon Vmax (pulled 3!) 5) Dragonite V 6) Rayquaza V 7) Espeon V (pulled 2) 8) Glaceon V (pulled 2) 9) Sylveon V 10) Noivern V (pulled 2) I'm still waiting to pull Leafeon Vmax and Glaceon Vmax. 😢

[@NotSoLuckyB]

Also crazy how modern is more expensive than some of the vintage holo chase cards out there. Who the heck makes these card prices??!

[@HeyArnold..]

Might be those tax returns affecting the market 🙃

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

That’s a great point lol

[@francobonetti2693]

I've literally seen people comment on fb groups saying their returns came in and looking for cards

[@Pokechu777]

This video was really interesting! I like ur take on the value of sword and shield cards and agree with u 🚀

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@superpanda817]

I have all the alternate arts including the tag teams 🎉

[@juanvaldez4923]

Great video will! I bought the umbreon Vmax PSA 10 in January 2023 for $750 now it’s worth double !! And I actually pulled the Gengar Vmax on a stream on drip from a free pack and had the streamer grade it and it came back a PSA 10! Last time I checked it was as worth $450 and now it’s worth like $800!

[@samersalama6275]

Some of these cards are way beyond my price range. I will one day I will pick up either the Leah V from Silver Tempest or the Charizard from brilliant stars.

[@hieinh]

I own Rayqaza vmax and I'm good with just that from the set.

[@1001History]

The moonbreon has increased a heap because two Australian live breakers bought a bunch not caring about the price because they put them into towers knowing they'd get a profit anyway.

[@1001History]

It's also because we're just getting fed garbage sets at the moment, and everyone is starting to appreciate the amazing alt arts from SwSh sets.

[@felipealvarado760]

Only one we're missing is the Moltress V Art from chilling, gonna scoop it up lol

[@DB_________]

Super hard to pull and grade. Print quality is terrible

[@RFseeker]

Always love your intro brother.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I appreciate that

[@kboomstudioz8439]

i own all of these alt arts from leafeon v and above besides blazekin vmax and moltres v still looking for those. got my moonbreon for 550 got very lucky

[@williamhernandez8526]

I have a psa 10 Genger and a raw because i just loved the art. All before it flew and guess what, None of my mons are for sale. I have cases that I WILL be breaking into. Might even plan a SW&SH breaking party in 10 years. Oh yeah I also pulled the moonbreon.

[@YAK_INC]

Right now the sleepy ttar is still low. One of the alts that hasn’t really moved unlike the dragonite I bought it for 80 and $85

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

True

[@Jimmybitcorn]

Love these investing card vids or just price videos

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@noRanchnoService]

Im debating between buying fusion strike for gengar vmax alt art or just flat out buy it someday

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Flat out buy it. You could spend $750 on 3 boxes and still not pull it, and have spent half of that on the card.

[@jordand1554]

I was / am a huge believer in alt arts from SWSH, graded tons, kept all the PSA 10’s over the past two years, out of the 300+ I have maybe around 50+ from evolving skies. I feel like these were always super tough pulls, really desirable pokemon / art and now that sealed is out of print it would logically pull up values of alts. We also had a 2 year bear market that’s rebounding. Lots of factors IMO, plus a bit of FOMO + buy outs.

[@joshuamurillo3194]

Is the psa pop actually accurate though, how many have been cracked and sent in for regrading? We may be looking at possibly a lot less pop then said.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Fair point. Who knows

[@findingeevee]

Just sent my moon kitty that I pulled into BGS a few weeks ago. Do we think this card will retain its value over time?

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I’m not sure. It seems really expensive. Barring more inventory though….. who knows what will happen

[@PelucheProductions]

I got out of the card game awhile ago and sold some of these alt art cards for cheap..now it's tough to restart.

[@zappyxp1575]

One lesson to take from this. Even during a break or "exit" from the hobby, just store your cards and come back to it at a later time.

[@NoelleSavkov]

It hurts cause I knew I should buy alot if these...I did pull the moonbreon years ago, graded a ten, and I have purchased all the other eeveelutions during the down turn so I am grateful for that, should have bought the Giratina tho, I kept waiting like an idiot

[@rogerhita-ly2px]

There is still deals out there I bought a giratina today at $300 and a evolving skies box at $500

[@MrRandygtgod]

Yesterdays price is not todays price. 😂

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Hahahahha

[@chestergladd1721]

I bought 5 ES etbs like 2 years ago for 40 or 45 a peice pulled the leafeon v glaceon v and 2 espeon v alt arts and 1 glaceon vmax alt arts so for like a year I thought seriously atleast 1 alt art came in a etb so I didn’t think they where rare then I’ve opened probably 300 packs of it in the last year and haven’t hit anything

[@pokeradtex3501]

I just need that Rayquaza!

[@oldmanjake6541]

Very interesting to see these jumps in prices. Never pulled a single Alt from Evolving Skies. 😂 ….but I do have 2 Giratina and 3 Lugia Alts. 😂 I opened way too many packs of Lost and Silver! 😅

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Very nice!

[@keiferbrito8204]

I’ve always said the most underrated card is the umbreon from brilliant stars I own 16 just cause of how cheap and how cool it looks

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Dang 16!? I have 2 of the v and Vmax lol.

[@antoniomaldonado8234]

Where you get the shirt you got from

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

At a convention years ago

[@raiderkev9144]

I have moonbreon, umbreon v, gengar vmax, machamp v, celebi v, mew v

[@AlexWhite0221]

It was bound to happen look at all past sets for good cards. They all rise

[@duaner9392]

Hey man, is this market gonna cool off? I get its good for the hobby. But I kinda don’t want to blow a grand on a giratina v PSA 10

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Neither do I lol.

[@stedmondmial9844]

Got the moon boy, Leafeon and Umby V. Pulled out of 3 ETBs. Want RayRay but that single price is 🚀

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Wow insane luck

[@NoelleSavkov]

Do we think these prices will dip in the future at all, or is it over lol, but I seriously need to know

[@findingeevee]

I just completed the Evolving Skies Set and am wondering the same 😂

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Maybe?

[@thecommoncollector]

Definitely open those booster packs 😅😅😅

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I’m considering it lol.

[@charizardchaser01]

I own top fifteen except Moltres and blaziken

[@collineisch8518]

Just pulled a Giratina thank the lord

[@theanc316ientone]

Pokeaddict151 pulled the moonbreon in 10 packs.

[@thugtonio]

It’s “transitory” lmao 😆😆😆😂😂😆

[@poppinoffthewalls4242]

Dang they climbed ...might be time to sale a Master EVOS set lol....or all

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Oh sheesh. It’s a few thousand dollars right there.

[@roseutterback5755]

I got the umbreon for 3 dollars on Monday lol 😂 I can’t believe it’s worth that much it’s a ten too

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

$3?! Are you sure it’s not fake

[@CardBoardHD]

Yeahhhhh... idk will ... something not right. I can't put my finger on it .. but it's ... not normal

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I mean it does seem strange, but if EVERYONE is wanting them and buying them, naturally the prices will drive up.

[@whatevername6553]

Obviously can’t say for sure, but a good amount of it is probably market manipulation too I’m old and boring but 1K for a moon is crazy, you can get cards way more rare/interesting for less money and with way more stable prices High demand wont last forever, 20,000 population is unfathomable and that number will only keep going up. I’d keep ue skies packs and resell them when they hit 50-100 a pack in a couple years Just some thoughts im putting out there will i poop

[@rogerhita-ly2px]

SWSH are gonna be a golden set all these alts are $$$$

[@armoryofgod8118]

I wonder if GameStop is buying them all with their new plan rolling out.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I doubt it. But stay tuned for today’s video lol.

[@scottstaker6818]

This hobby is ruined for younger generations, remember when holo charizards were 50$ and now theyre 700$. Its just an investment and its gotten way out of hand. A 30$ card was expensive but now we have an average of 50$ for entire sets

[@rell660]

FOMO for S/S. There will be a correction and they'll all sit at some point.

[@GundaManBatan]

Bought my psa 10 alt art vmax umbreon for like 800$ im tempted to sell mine now

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Depends if you want it for PC or not lol

[@GundaManBatan]

@@DrApplesauceTwo already got a PC i just bough it for collection purposes didnt think it would skyrocket so high

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I’d say hold and sell as soon as you see price start to go down

[@Kendopilor1992]

Im calling it moonbreon will be the next sv49 charizard. That pop on that card is ridiculous and not even rare.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

I agree, it’s really not that rare. BUT, let’s say there’s 30,000 copies graded, and. MILLION people who want one graded, that means 97% of those people will never be able to have one.

[@derricksuter]

I pulled the alt art Gengar and a month later I pulled the alt art Leafeon

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Ha ha sick

[@derricksuter]

​​@@DrApplesauceTwo Yeah both from $10 Knockout Collection boxes from Family Dollar

[@tracksphantom540]

I liked and subscribed ❤ I need some evolving sky$.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Welcome!

[@joshuamurillo3194]

There’s no moonbreon in those 36 packs, sorry bro 😂😢

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Aw man! I bought the packs all for $5 each on breadstick years ago.

[@bluebattery7689]

Those “sussy” sales you’re talking about are likely psa 10 sales.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

So suss sales. They shouldn’t be recorded on TCG players raw sales.

[@CensorShtTube]

Dude your intro about God is awesome.

[@DrApplesauceTwo]

Glad you think so!
