[@dennisdinh6918]

I feel like your opinion are way less biased especially about investing compared to other creators and I appreciate that.

[@IneptCardCollector]

Solid data guy for sure.

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Thanks my friend, I appreciate this comment more then I can say! I always try and let the numbers guide me!!

[@mcwildcats8isgr8]

I'm always here for your energy Triple P. Love it!

[@PikaPikaPapa]

LOL I appreciate it my friend!! Always brining the Pokemon funk!! 😂😂

[@patescortez88]

Grabbing the chase cards from unwanted scarlet sets are paying of. Thank you sir

[@PikaPikaPapa]

That's the flex of all flexes right there my friend!! A really really smart approach!!

[@IvanFordTech]

Great video!

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Appreciate the support my friend, have an EPIC one!!

[@samersalama6275]

I love SV era but I too was shocked. Some of the top 10s of these sets command a cumulative amount of value.

[@PikaPikaPapa]

I agree, there are some crazy price points at the top of some of these sets!!

[@shawndcollier]

Start collecting the Baby Poncho Pikachus. You can get the Mega Tokyo Pikachu and a few others at decent price currently (100-200 bucks), but they are trending up.

[@PikaPikaPapa]

SUPER cool call out!!! What an awesome way to get into the Jap promo space!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@andrewewart8737]

Here’s some more SEO🚂💨💨keep it up my man! Charlotte collection a con???

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Love that SEO smoke!!! Appreciate it as always my friend!!

[@PokeDestelo]

you are awsome man

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Appreciate the support my friend!!! I sure do love talking Pokemon, No doubt about that!!

[@veteranredbeard6222]

Heres the thing... dont go all in on a set till after its reprinted... on sealed product. Buy low on hard hitting singles though. I bought the magikarp at $80. The charizard 151 at $90. Got the greninja also but only because i enjoy them

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Love that concept my friend!! Agree that getting the big singles at fair prices vs searching for some mystic bottom is the way to go!! Some of these S&V singles are soooo hot right now it's insane, such a cool time to be a Pokemon collector!!

[@idh3572]

Sup bro! I picked up that moonbreon today but on closer inspection, I see a white smudge on the inside of the slab. I researched and apparently it can be issues with the slab plastic or mold, I'm worried it's the latter. Is that possible for modern PSA slabs?

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Hmmm not gonna lie this is the first I've heard of that. I'd contact PSA and see what they say. They might be able to do something for you if it was a defect during the slabbing process. That card is too epic for the slab not to be perfect!!

[@bATeamPlayer]

Need to finish my Evolving skies Master Set before it’s too late

[@PikaPikaPapa]

The fact that you're sooo close makes me sooo jealous LOL!!!

[@OswaldTheRabbid]

We the PikaPikaPeople…

[@PikaPikaPapa]

LMAO!!! Comment of the month right here, I love it!!

[@skyscraper5910]

1. best mental in the pmk investing youtube space. 2. If espeon not one of the "biggest and baddest" pmk, then so isnt Umbreon. Espeon and Umbreon released in the same generation, they are equally as popular/well known, further there have been points in time where Espeon cards have had more love than Umbreon. Just depends on the time. Further, Blazekin, just like Swampart, were one of the most popular mons from gen 3, after the box legendaries. They were the first dual type starters.

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Awesome call outs as always my friend!! Love all of the Eeveelutions and I think you're call out on how some rotate into the number one spot at different points in time is an all time great comment. I love it!! That Blazekin art just hits different, I love it and it's been a monster of a card and a ton of fun to watch its run up!! EPIC input as always!!

[@kylesolana1578]

A nice cheap Japanese promo is the black and white 7-11 Eevee promo #235 I think

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Love input like this!! I'll have to check it out, thank you!!!

[@kylesolana1578]

I just found out there is actually a English printing as well! The English one is really hard to find for sale though (bw97)

[@lKINGl]

I got a whole sealed case of Japanese 151 for $500 so I’m just chilling for now. Will buy more if I can get them $600 and under

[@PikaPikaPapa]

At that price it's hard to go wrong!!! Buying at the point of maximum pessimism is usually a good strategy!!

[@lilchaderina7415]

I know you don't play the game, but let's say they continue the path of the SV game as it's been so far. There were a bunch of end game side quests that unlocked 30? I think legendary pokemon. None have been released so far that were in those quests. How much of a winner of a set would that be releasing all 30 as IRs? Then the ones that weren't in the game like Arceus, giritina, mew, and mewtwo? That would be probably one of the best sets in history

[@lilchaderina7415]

Mew mewtwo etc as SIRs!

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Holy crud man... that would be EPIC!!! I'm thinking like a CZ type set loaded with legendary and all of the big names coupled with epic art all around!?!?! Now I'm dreaming of this epic set LOL

[@lilchaderina7415]

@PikaPikaPapa Google Snackworth all legendary for a list of them. I kind of think scarlet (red) and violet (blue) era might be a hit at the beginnings and history of pokemon. Red and blue being the original pokemon games. We got 151, team rocket coming.. future and past pokemon. I think the second half of this set is going to be absolute 🔥

[@connorwooten6220]

I have mixed feelings seeing those beefy Pokemon lol

[@PikaPikaPapa]

LOL this is awesome!!

[@Pokemon_Trainer_Will]

They need to reprint evolving skies!

[@PikaPikaPapa]

That would be one way to cause complete and total Pokemon collecting chaos!! I like it LOL

[@dizzy530]

No losers!? I spent £115 on the obsidian flames charizard 😅

[@shawndcollier]

got a full binder page (16) of the 151 Charizard SAR. I think 151 will be the big set from S&V

[@dizzy530]

😱 nice! That must have cost a pretty penny! ​@@shawndcollier

[@PikaPikaPapa]

LMAO!!! Well.... maybe it will bounce?? There are no losses in lessons learned? I'm trying to find an upside here for you my friend!!

[@dizzy530]

😅 thanks. At least I learned from that mistake.

[@antonlundstrom8328]

udabest

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Thank you!! Just a data nerd with a Pokemon problem LOL!!

[@ProfessorPullz]

Scarlet & Violet is really starting to show that they can put out some amazing artwork! Some of these cards will definitely go for a nice premium in a few years!

[@PikaPikaPapa]

I agree and I think they are about to bring the FUNK with some of these new sets that have been announced!!! It's going to be awesome!!

[@ScriptOCE]

Mark my words that greninja will stay high and be expensive, I will die on the hill and say it will be a top 5 card of the era

[@2736492821]

yes, but people just coping and cant see it as yet

[@PikaPikaPapa]

Well I can say this, it's hard to argue with that view right now!! Good golly that thing in on FIRE!!!!

[@gogoagoat5890]

Literally there's like ten KZbin poke investors and they all talk about literally the same stuff. Never open anything just listen to themselves talk and watch cards move in price. Literally making videos on a graph ffs

[@YNGDYE]

Literally omg. Like literally literally 😅. Literally.

[@gogoagoat5890]

@@YNGDYE doesn't change the facts but yeah. Went ham on the literally there.

[@YNGDYE]

@@gogoagoat5890 all luv big dawg 👊🏽

[@PikaPikaPapa]

I'd argue there are wayyyyy more then 10!!!

[@PikaPikaAsh]

Love the jacked Pokemon 😂

[@PikaPikaPapa]

GET SWOL!!!! LOL
