I always wondered what your entire collection was worth! Holy smokes, bro over here swimming in gold like Scrooge Mc.Duck!😂

[@Youtubefan567]

Thanks for sharing your collection via Collectr but why don't you have every high end card there (such as the Latios/Latias GX which is clearly in the background and is not on Collectr?). I love Collectr as well!

[@marijnnoorlander4613]

I thinks the Lugia alt art is the best looking card by far!

[@coopercollins1780]

Yeah this dude is on crack for saying that art lacks 😂

[@jaimewinz]

Agreed. Not sure why people hate on that card. It’s so dope!

[@mitchelljones7573]

No doubt I pulled the Lugia and jus seeing that artwork come out of a pack was spectacular

[@StumbIingforward]

​@@mitchelljones7573 Hey man I know this question is probably stupid but i want to get back into Pokemon cards, and I'm wondering what exactly am I looking for whn it come to buying new official cards? Like what is the exact name of the pack you pulled the Lugia from?

[@mitchelljones7573]

@@StumbIingforward u get lugia V alt art from silver tempest packs. I pulled mine from a lugia artwork pack ironically

[@lastdays51]

I personally prefer the espeon v alt art, I think that one deserves more love, the sylveon v alt art is also nice

[@magnificcenTCG]

Rayquaza V alt is the best looking card in ES IMO

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

I agree! Espeon is one of my most favorite Pokemon. Definitely way under valued compared to the other Eeveeloutions!

[@ryisz1257]

i bought the espeon for $100 a few months ago, i honestly like it’s chances to keep climbing

Appreciate the videos man, keep at it. We are all here for different reasons which just makes the community so strong. I come from a MTG background where collecting is less important than playing so seeing this kinda thing in my collectibles is sorta fun lol

[@Antoni0704]

Iron crown being a collectible and playable card is the reason the value is high

[@WildPsychicken]

Yeah its very playable, and you would want 4 in your deck due to its ability

[@jaimewinz]

Sleepy Tyranitar is one of the most slept on hard to pull Alt Arts, i think its going to climb in price soon tbh.

[@str8nashtygaming466]

And it's a popular pokemon. With nobody ripping battle styles it's population is gonna stay lower as well. Awesome alt art for sure.

[@benjaminkappler2255]

Hey Jake - thanks for the video! I like how you did the overlay of the collectr app while explaining it. Did you make this yourself or did collectr provide that graphic? Separately do you edit your own videos or hire an editor? I have made a lot of content and want to start posting but editing is proving time consuming and difficult. Any advice there for a new creator?

[@TwicebakedJake]

I recorded it myself. Your phone should have a built-in screen recorder that's easy to use

[@TeddyBrooski-th9qx]

I agree with you on the temporal forces

[@louiepikmin3184]

I completely understand why the gengar vmax is skyrocketing up in price, but I just wish I picked it up earlier. Sowsow is my all time favorite tcg artist and I recebtly decided I'd try to collect every card they've made the art for. But after seeing that... I don't have a ton of super expensive cards so I'd either have to trade the crown jewel of my collection (The magikarp and wailord alt art from team up) and another few of my most expensive cards (Either my only other card worth over $40 or like two of my few cards in the $20-30 range) or just give up on that idea all together. I might have to ignore the gengar and just pick up the espeon v alt art before that goes up in price

[@mcwildcats8isgr8]

Jake, do you think Paradigm Trigger is a bit undervalued given it has the Lugia V? I just recently got into Japanese Pokemon and was able to get boxes of this for under $70. Seems a bit undervalued considering these have the Lugia V.

[@MrMasterSet]

Hey Jake! I got back into the hobby about 11 months ago, and you were one of the first PokeTubers I started following. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work and your contribution to the hobby!!!

[@snorlore]

Cool! I just added Gengar VMAX to my collection on Collectr! It didn't cost anything!

[@hirakatashii]

I think with the Umbreon V and PokeRev situation, he simply reminded a bunch of people that the card exists. Sets come out so frequently that people are bound to forget about certain cards here and there even if they have great art. So did the price go up because of what PokeRev said? Likely yes. But I don’t think he did so intentionally, and I think the price will either level out in a few months, or if people continue to agree that it’s a great card it may maintain or even slowly climb, especially since sealed product is so expensive for that set right now (which is not tied to PokeRev at all)

[@nerdsinglasses6480]

I’m not so sure the Iron Crown ex is a card that is being market manipulated by definition; it’s a super playable card that both collectors and players really want, so its actual value is that high from what I can tell. Morty’s Conviction, on the other hand, I do think is being manipulated, because it doesn’t have that same demand from multiple types of people. If you have thoughts on this, I’d be glad to hear it.

[@Poopdeck1015]

It’s artistically beautiful. Both that and its Iron Leaves counterpart.

[@justkidding199]

I like Collectr and have logged part of my collection on it already, but I stopped for a while because I couldn't find a lot of Japanese cards (especially older/mid era sets and some promo cards) on it!

[@Jibuu1]

yup, and also so many of the cards listed aren't accurate on the prices. sometimes the prices arent even moving or change

[@stockinvesting3513]

The pull rates for temporal forces are tougher.... I only pulled 2 alts in 6 booster box's. The iron crown alt is playable so it has extra demand and the morty alt is clearly the communities top chase because it's an alt and it's got gengar. The gastly is also doing well because of the Pokémon. I only pulled one gastly in about 300 packs. The demand is higher than the amount available because the pull rates aren't that easy.

[@taylorabrahamse8345]

I love Collectr and am making notes on what to get based on your list. Definitely some 20-30 dollar cards you have that I think you were very smart to get that will appreciate nicely.

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

Have you noticed their updates are usually late and low if not few and far between? According to their app you can still buy evolving skies for $2,900/booster case or lost origin for $900/case… so pricing from end of march? It’s a great hindsight app.

[@spencerpluger2451]

I'm very new to the hobby (just over a week lol). What set would you recommend I try/start buying packs of? I enjoy opening the cards more than keeping them wrapped. And I've been starting with 151 and Paldean Fates. I came across a couple sword and shield sets today at a store near me but decided against getting any packs because I just dont know whats worth putting my money towards

[@TwicebakedJake]

If you can get your hands on crown zenith. It's my current favorite modern set to open. You get hits quite often and the art is fantastic

[@samersalama6275]

I really thought the magikarp and the umbreon alt were being manipulated but what you said makes sense. Evo skies goes up so those cards go up and the magikarp might be increasing due to demand for being a great card.

[@ThePokefamz]

I wonder if to sell hit cards from temporal forces now while the market is high is a good idea 🤔

[@qualaup]

Charizard Brilliant Stars is the most beautifull Charizard in the hobby in my opinion.

[@weetjijwel050]

The Gengar Vmax compete with the Moonbreon? You pumping, mate?

[@str8nashtygaming466]

Nahh that gengar alt is fire. The moonbreon is mid. The glaceon vmax alt is way better and valued at 1/4 the price. Somebody pumped that umbreon and it never came back down. Same with the love birds.

[@weetjijwel050]

@@str8nashtygaming466 🤣 Riiight......

[@akindel6590]

​@@str8nashtygaming466Gengar is a cult favorite pokemon so I'm not surprised it's finally climbing, but to say it's better than the moonbreon is wild. Umbreon is the most popular eeveelution, and the eeveelutions are up there with Charizard in terms of popularity

[@djrohan_presents]

nice insights! enjoying your channel. Influencers are called influencers for a reason... they do make a difference to what people think is important or valuable... you can call it manipulation but it is very much self inflicted by those that follow without making their own decisions.

How is the vintage market?

Such an obvious pump. Good luck everyone. This type of video helps prop up the pump. Remind me in 6 months

[@da-yh3uy]

theres obviously market manipulation but since people have these cards in their collection of course it would feel good for them to hear a pokemon youtuber who also has these products to agree with this pump. its wild

[@portalmasterry6765]

Nah they tell you this when it's too late. The time to be buying modern was ages ago when prices were $120 for evolving skies, and $85 for chilling reign. These KZbinrs kept telling you vintage is where the money is at and then tell you it's time for modern when they're done buying their position or when the prices are already up. Anyone buying SWSH at $200/box is dumb and unless you are putting money towards SV, you're a bit too late for moderns sets like SWSH.

[@periodicbeast9994]

I was always saying that Umbreon V alt art was slept on.

[@nightflash262]

Market Manipulation and pumping also fomo leads to big price jump. I traded for an Espeon Vmax alt art last month which was around $130 and also sold a Espeon Vmax alt art for $125 now they're both $150+. Was planning to buy the rest of the alt art then boom it spiked, so much I call it quit and I hope the market will correct itself.

[@gaspare3083]

Dragonite V alt art going up also

[@ColtyT33]

My best pulls are from chilling reign so hopefully Jake talks about that set

[@TeddyBrooski-th9qx]

What does everyone have against the Magikarp the same person who drew the Garatina drew the Magikarp what’s the issue?!? It’s actually better that it’s a regular illustration rare because it can’t be weighed or searched and people can trust that they have a fair chance of pulling it

[@gmyezerov]

Got lucky and pulled that Karp love it a bit miss cut tho

[@andrewjus224]

the card price is seasonal fluctuate, at end of year, lot of sales in holiday season. and currently, not too many valuable cards in market.

[@Krulle37]

The Lugia V is by far the best looking card imo. Saying the art is lacking is crazy to me. That umbreon and gengar is overhyped and the art looks meh to me.

[@michaelbrown1724]

Curious to see if SV sees the same price drops in the high value cards as SWSH did a few months back. Really bummed I didn’t have the money to grab all the SWSH alts I wanted when they were super cheap but at least there are some amazing Trainer Galleries! I’m probably not going to buy any high value SV cards until the sets are well over a year old.

[@veliserbet6248]

I pulled the umbreon v 2 days before pokerevs video then I watched that video, crazy experience.

[@DK-BayBay]

bruh tcg player has messed up the market. manipulation, by mass buyouts. its pretty lame. that site should no longer be a tool used for market value until they correct their algorithms. nobody in their right mind is paying these asking prices. notice the vendor pov prices compared to the "market"

​@@akindel6590 moonbreon is Vmax, he's talking about V.

[@chrisandedina]

I just downloaded Collector and the one thing I would say is it should have different condition values for vintage. I collect vintage wotc holos and a HP card is definitely not same value as a LP card.

[@klone57]

Collectr looks sick! Going to try it out for sure

[@Ktiger41]

I just wanted to point out that manipulating the market does not require *controlling* the entire market, but rather having a sizeable position in it. For new in print sets that is very risky and imo stupid behavior. All supply hasn't come to market yet. In the video you mentioned buying out all 100 listings of let's say X card. Obviously, the cards will all be at different price points and you will have a dollar cost average ratio over all 100 listings. By the time the next 100 listing come up they will be near, at, or below the last market price. (No one is gonna sell a card for $20 when last sold is let's say 80-100). The idea is, the new "market" is higher and then the manipulators off load their position as fast as they can till it reaches their break even of dollar cost ratio. This is known as the old "pump and dump". It's day trading and backpack trading on steroids. Sad to see it infecting pokemon now though.

[@nikeswoosh7575]

Im hoping this video was partly intended as a jab on Danny Phantump who seems to think every time a card goes up in price it’s due to “buyouts” 😂

[@sugarsweetfilms494]

my view, is if you buy a $50 trainer box and pull a card everyone is hunting for. a Hot card. I believe that cards value is worth 50 if not more. who cares there are 100,000 copies. not everyone is willing to sell, there are so many factors where 100,000 copies don't make it. if they make it, hopefully the condition of card is great.

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

The Magikarp is valuable because it’s the first full art(non textured💔) card that shows scratch art. Which is about as 90’s an art form possible… what’s next a night-lite full art?

[@mr.bhewjew3212]

I would like to have that magikarp but oh well 😞

[@taylorabrahamse8345]

I think the Moonbreon took attention away from the Umbreon V, it was just too much to have both be super expensive cards, but - now that Evolving Skies is getting into unaffordable territory, it makes sense that people are reviewing what cards they have and seeing which are scarce/underrated.

TEF is going up and down, but nothing is outstanding. Only playable cards seem to hold any significance in this set. I got every art rare for 1/2 price of a booster. I had upfront fun with opening boosters (by buying an ETB and all the other products (except for booster boxes) once) getting only a handful of cards and resorted over to buy singles like with every other set so far.

[@AntlerOG]

Sometimes I think Jake is AI generated

[@TwicebakedJake]

That's a vibe

[@Sevendigitz7]

@twicebakedjake you also forgot playability; temporal forces(especially iron crown) is a meta card going forward so the price at the moment reflects the playability of the card. The TCG isn’t just about the art. People still play the game at a high quantity so no I don’t think iron crown deserves to be referenced as a “manipulated card”

[@TwicebakedJake]

I'm assuming the vast majority of players aren't running the illustration version of iron crown

[@KevinFruit12]

Yes the market is being manipulated. Look up any chase card and go to the top end of sales, and you will see raw copies being outrageously priced by a single buyer. Opossum bud covered this.

[@angelsalcido718]

I understand maybe 150ish for a nice copy of umbreon v. But 200+ is kinda crazy wack. When the other eevelutions vmaxes are around the same price. Was watching listings for psa9 copies of umbreon v at around 110ish after those coulple listings sold the new set price was 190-200+ Definitely wackkk.

[@le_med]

You don t seem to understand how whales can manipulate the market, buy on one platform to instantly sell higher on another by having bumped the price up. You only need to buy a couple cards the first day to start seeing the charts change and since people can t be bothered to see how many cards were sold they jump to conclusions and start buying straight away. You don t need your cards to arrive to resell them for those whales. And it is not only collectors but investmentbros who buy sealed products and buy cards too because indirectly it raises the prices of ETB and BBs when cards are being chased. Manipulation is too easy

[@robotZER0]

English paldea evolved released June 2023. There are currently only 2485 PSA graded copies of Magikarp. Of that, only 553 are PSA 10. That's a gem mint rate of 22%. That is quite a low rate for an ultra modern card. Combine the popularity of Magikarp (and Gyarados), the beautiful art, low 10 rate, low pull rate, low supply, in English, and being talked about by social media influencers, then it's no wonder the prices are what they are. On the flip side, the Japanese Triplet Beat Magikarp AR has 20742 PSA graded copies with 19270 being PSA 10. That's a gem mint rate of 92%. So this a PSA 10 of this card in Japanese is not rare at all.
