Crown Zenith is the most underrated set of the past few years

[@PokemonFamClub]

Everyone just moves on so quickly, when something isn't the current chase. It's going to come back around. I really think this is the set in 5-10 years people are paying people on whatnot to have ripped for big bucks.

[@Alex.Alva99]

this set is not underrated

[@PaintballVideosNet]

@@Alex.Alva99 yes, it is.

[@jnunez06]

@@PokemonFamClub awesome video…. People do move on so quick to the next “shiney” set, beautiful set at great price right now to buy singles to finish out my master set

[@Woohoowilly]

Agreed

[@UnwantedCommentary]

Holy shit 6 sets this year... That is too much omg

[@PokemonFamClub]

So crazy, hard to believe! Coming up on 1 year of S&V.

[@CatsnCoasters]

The only set I ever mastered. I still think it'll be looked back on with awe in 5/10 years. Prices will reflect that.

[@nevercold808]

This was to be expected, especially after the holiday reprint they had. There were completely unexpected products released in that reprint, too, like the Walmart Black Friday Pikachu box and their booster bundles. I think it's a good thing, tho. It's an awesome set and it should be readily available at regular price for people to rip years after release day. One of the things I didn't like when I first started collecting was how expensive certain packs were even tho they had only been released a year or so prior to my starting.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Was that during the pandemic boost or another time? I've never bought anything sealed above msrp, I would rather just live vicariously watching others rip if prices were that bad; and only buy singles.

[@nevercold808]

​@@PokemonFamClubYep, pandemic time. It was worse them but it's still pretty bad even now.

[@oldmanjake6541]

I love Crown Zenith! My favorite set for sword and shield. 👍🙂 I opened and bought singles along the way. Missing only 2 cards to finish the set (Gold Giratina and Arceus 😂). I just picked up the Lugia box from GameStop today . 😂

[@PokemonFamClub]

Nice! Giratina is the big dog I still need. I picked up dialga from a card shop today along with some other singles. The 20 lugia box is a great pick up, made even better when a Pro member. Good luck on the pulls!

[@MrAlternation]

can you do a video of MUST HAVES to get? or you can make a little series on it too

[@ethanbarton]

Do you have a video where you compare the expected value of each set over 1000 packs? I think that spreadsheet and statistic is awesome, I'd love to see a comparison

[@thegmail356]

I have had it master set done and really for sure was tanked with the reprints and surprise lugia and new pickachu box and the etb reprint.

[@bbq1040]

More crown zenith isn't a bad thing. The crazy thing about pokemon cards is how hard it is to get sets after such a short time. I've learned to pick up a bunch extra right at release when prices are lowest. Crown zenith is such a fun set to open so while singles aren't terrible to buy, the set shines when you talk about ripping packs.

[@kingslayya6876]

finished my gg set recently with giratina, have multiple copies of others especially yellow borders that didnt pass QC. takes a lot of effort to put together a pristine set for the true collectors. even cracking slabs that i was lucky to pick up. ud be lucky to get a cheap set without scratches, whitening and bad centering

[@PokemonFamClub]

I'm pretty particular myself. I especially can't stand bad centering. If I pull something and there's a tiny dot on the back, I'm OK with putting it in the binder, but if I'm at a store buying singles, I want perfection.

[@MommaKayNJames69]

Love crown zenith my favorite card in the sat is the charizard mewtwo and suicune

[@ethanbarton]

Yeah lots of product still out there, can't see this improving yet

[@sethsims6878]

3 funnest sets to open are 151, paldean fates and crown zenith. At least in the last year those are the funnest ones I think.

[@PokemonFamClub]

All great sets and fun to open! I don't get all the paldean fates hate, but whatever. It's got baby shinys and SIR's to chase, and how many sets have 3 SIR's of top notch pokemon to chase.

[@ethanbarton]

I think one thing missing from this video was the price of sealed product

[@PokemonFamClub]

Thanks for the feedback. I mention that its mostly readily available on pokemon center, and in looking at product elsewhere, it all seems stagnant; msrp or less for the most part. What are you seeing and thinking?

[@Taypha1914]

I'll deffo be buying many CZ mini tins to keep for the future

[@DubstopherWubson13]

glad it's dropped, i'm finishing my master set lol. But this set will without a doubt go back up

[@ithrowcardsalex9992]

Yeah in like 20 years. People hate Pokemon cards now. Gonna take a couple decades for us to forget how stupid they are.

[@trangtrong3967]

Dude did you get that Silver tempest etb case from Smoke?...ridic price🔥

[@PokemonFamClub]

I debated and debated too long and when I went to get it, it was over. It was a killer deal.

[@trangtrong3967]

@@PokemonFamClub yeah I had to grab one...I hear rumblings of the same type of deals coming for LO...act fast if that happens!

[@snorlore]

Mareep is popular in Miraidon, I believe.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Thanks, I thought it might be, but wasn't sure and it really hasn't changed much, it's a really cheap card, but that must be keeping it at its price.

[@MrMetalChris]

Im 6 cards away from completing crown zenith, 3 golds, 1 holo, 1 v and 1 vstar. Hopeful its not going to be too expensive

[@CoffinNachtmahr]

I just started buying Vstar Universe I recently pulled a god pack too I'm loving it

[@ithrowcardsalex9992]

Pokemon cards are the biggest rip off in existence. People hate them. The bubble has burst and won’t be going up again for a long long long time, when we all forget how stupid they are.

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

CZ will always be king!!! Great video! HAPPY COLLECTING!

[@PokemonFamClub]

Much appreciated, same to you!

[@zacharyzuniga1599]

I stacked cases of sealed mini tin displays.

[@TheCommenter-no3dh]

Lol why

[@TheCommenter-no3dh]

as a collector of art cards, and a new pokemon card collector in general, the lower the price the better, easier to acquire for me, i don't intend on colleting pokemon cards just go make profits, i collect them because it is fun and i appreciate the artwork. no scalper here.

[@FlaminHotChips]

It sucks that they did a reprint of this set imo. Prices would of been so nice if they didn’t 🤑

[@justinalexander4166]

Crown zenith 151 and evolving skies are my biggest investments by far

[@PokemonFamClub]

Those would be my top 3 modern picks as well.

[@DeadlyFungi]

Great insight.

[@tyfine99]

Just pulled gold Giratina

[@PokemonFamClub]

Awesome, congrats! I've been trying to buy that one, keeps going up in price.

[@mitchellalexander1581]

Got 3 booster bundles, two to keep sealed, one to open. Pulled Giratina 😂

[@PokemonFamClub]

Awesome, congratulations! I'm still trying to track that one down, last big hit I need from the set.

[@Nyfancam01]

Just keep as many booster bundles and ETBs as possible of Crown Zenith SEALED. youll be happy.....

[@PolafTCG]

This is based on 2 month hindsight, but yeah Crown Z is on the rise 😎

[@Orom086]

I want to buy a master set

[@awp260]

You mention Giratina vStar YET you didn’t look at Daily sales MOST IMPORTANT aspect, and users are buying that card 2 or more each day from I saw … looks like 80% of the sellers don’t care and keep the price higher … sitting at a higher price as a non desperate is different than someone who has to flip to stay afloat…just saying.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Thanks for watching and your feedback, much appreciated! I look at the daily on tcg player here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX6lnIKNeN6bfJYsi=BdtUQvAKNpI3Xq6Y&t=490 And yes, a few are selling each day. They're selling on ebay too, a couple went today for $60 and sub $60 last week and lowest buy it now is $65. Between the two platforms theres around 300 available today. Would be interesting to know how many get posted daily compared to selling daily. I believe we're on the same page in thinking this is a great card and I have no issue picking one up at this $60 price. Could go lower though, have to watch that stock count and daily sales, like you said.

[@fercho0903]

Best set of all time

[@mikeho]

CZ is a value trap. Too many people have opened it already and single prices are so low. Don’t think it’s going to outpace other sets anytime soon.

[@roberttrojan9037]

Still being printed they ruined crown zenith 😢

[@voydkid]

a set with zero chase cards

[@PokemonFamClub]

Nothing for you in there? Nothing super expensive, but a ton of great cards to go after, and packs are cheap for now.

[@voydkid]

@@PokemonFamClub the cards will keep falling in price, the gold cards in particular

[@SDCISHERE]

Omg 😮

[@kedjfj798]

i remember when everyone was saying this set is ze shit, i was like... there is litereally nothing good in it, nice cope guys, prices telling me i was right, just like paldean fates, literally the same dog shit as shining fates but someone everyone trying to hype it its hilarous.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Gotta go with what you love. If there's nothing in this set for you, ya, it's shit. I think it's a great set, full of cards I love. The whole market is down, and most sets look like this, 50% cuts since release on average.

[@jamesgraves9858]

Reprint reprint reprint lol y'all are too much asking for reprints of every set. That's what makes Ultra Prism so desirable and other sets from back in the day. Can't tell you how quick Ultra Prism was out of stores. True fans got to the store and got the cards WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE

[@PokemonFamClub]

I could see a 6 month print cycle, then move on; but it seems to go on forever. I wouldn't want cards to rare and expensive while they're still playable in the tcg though. Need to balance things.

[@ithrowcardsalex9992]

I hope all Pokemon cards crash. It’s probably one of the stupidest hobbies to get into. I recommend actual gambling over collecting these stupid cards.

[@brettisaac46]

Lol what

[@BrokeAssCollector]

And yet here you are making multiple comments on these videos spending your time that you have on this planet bad mouthing a product that if you never bought again in your life would not make the smallest little slit of difference your entire existence doesn't mean a thing to these companies if you and every single person you ever knew in your life actively fought against pokémon cards every second of your existence you wouldn't make the most slight miniscule of difference stop whining stop complaining get out of hobby or get some money to get in it harder nothing you say will change the thoughts of all these people so you might as well stop crying about it so much

[@PokemonFamClub]

Can't we do both? I recommend actual stocks over all of the above.
