Watching you open packs to exhaustion last night was top tier content, you have found the ultimate cash cow. And your rip and ship streams are so much more chill than any other whatnot streamer with stimulation overload on the screen. Your ordering and queue system is so much easier to follow.

[@Chris-vz2kv]

It’s become a content in itself. It’s not even about the pack opening. It’s watching to see how much pain he could put himself doing the same motion for hours.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Really enjoying your content recently Alex. Fantastic take on the current market. I’ve also never seen this much demand even during the 2020 boom. Scary and exciting are the two words that come to mind…and we haven’t even gotten to Team Rocket yet!

Impressed on the speedy Gonzales drop. Nice. Old cartoon for those who don’t know. These videos have been great lately. Like the perspective. Solid. Keep it up brother.

[@LimpBrizket205]

I did the same thing. Ordered a case when safari dropped as well. I will say it's not the first time they've put pre orders out before the set is even named though so it's not unheard of. Maybe we'll be rewarded for the early play or hopefully be able to find morning the 90's later who knows. Glad I wasn't the only one who jumped on it lol

I think you should do a video recapping all the pokemon negativity 3 months ago, how everything was doom and gloom and other you tubers were showing 1 month downward trends on there pokemon investment graphs, and how you made a video showing the bigger picture. Then show how wrong they were and compare it to now. 💯

This year is gearing up to be WAY more exciting than last year. Imagine coming into the hobby for the first time during all this hype. Make good choices, people! Alex, opinions on picking up SWSH booster boxes while prices are similar to SV?

[@MewsPokeShop]

Lost origin, fusion, chilling

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Yes i am still buying swsh along with SV

[@BoosterBrad]

I remember standing in line at Target to get Shining Fates etbs thinking how lucky you were to get one….and years later you could still pick them up at box stores ect. Based on what happened during Covid the product will likely be there in the distant future….

[@HammerStudioGames]

Shining fates is still so affordable, which hurts because I overpaid for my stock during the hayday 😂

[@GBCRoy]

Lol this. We underestimate the power of the Pokemon card printer.

[@TropicalMint808]

While we can often glean something from the past, with all due respect, this is not the same market or economy as the past and I wouldnt let you getting burned once cause you to shy away from everything in the future.

[@genetixmatter]

I ordered 2 regular Etb cases 2 booster box cases and a case of booster bundles. It's a 75-100% ROI from presale prices and the set isn't even released yet lol

hey folks, which one yall think its a better investment thinking for the next 3-5 years, Fusion Strike or Lost Origin?

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Can't go wrong with either one

[@timmytien]

I just pulled the gold pikachu from SSP and I’m trying to decide if I sell it now or wait. I’d hate for it to go up even more but current market is looking like $102

[@Brycelona]

SV09 most likely battle partners if we are going based off of the trademark leaks we see about 6 months in advance. SV10 the glory of team rocket. (We knew all the sets from Japanese shrouded fable-terastal festival when we were still in twilight in English)

[@TropicalMint808]

Right, we know the next few sets approximately enough to not consider this a mystery product. With the SS and PE hype, anything under $120 a booster box in the next year or so is going to be a no brainer buy. Alex is definitely right about the market not slowing down until the formula doesnt work - as long as I can buy something and be able to realize gains immediately upon possession, theres no chance in hell im going to stop lol.

[@THEKINGSPC541]

Hey Nomics I took your advice and traded a bunch of blister of sword and shield about 35 of them and some obsidian flames to my local card shop… and with that I bought a twilight masquerade booster and a 450 card binder … and now ima get a surging spark in the AM. Good deal right ? 125 for twilight before they sold out … surging spark for 140 .. All with credit from my trade

[@NostalgiaNomics]

I think those sets are going to do well for you

[@CarlosCepeda-s4y]

[@fed562]

Safari Zone just testing the waters with that drop, seeing how bad it'll be, I'd be shocked if it released at those low prices once we get closer. Economy been climbing all year, this isnt the first record highs we've seen for the stock market. Collectables don't have this level of frenzy for months if everyone is struggling to buy groceries. People got extra spending money for a reason.

[@happyeggroll5267]

Whatnot Card Show began today. Will be interesting to see how much product the event eats up. I'll be auctioning off 20k in sealed product for $1 starts because i hate making my own labels 😂

[@mech0p]

They need to lessen the ammount of sets per year from 6 to like 4. Do no reprints and spend 3 to 4 months per set and keep that facility going 24hr a day.

[@PixelKatana]

Once people free themselves from the shackles of what has been they will start to see the bigger picture. Each set has to be judged individually. Shrouded Fable didn’t affect Surging Sparks sales for instance. There are so many people who missed out waiting to order at $99 instead of $105 and now they are probably wishing they could find for even $120.

[@Kanpocos-Cards]

New subscriber! I appreciate the insight. Do you think the cost of Surging Sparks booster boxes will continue to rise up until the new year?

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Appreciate that. Yes I do. I think there will be a time next year where we will likely get a reprint and the price will come down a bit but not anytime soon..

[@Teacherguy06]

Actually not hard to buy at or below the Pokemon Center retail price and just hold for 6 months. Been doing that with ETB's now we may have to do it with Booster boxes. The game has Changed!
