State of the Pokemon Market: What to BUY!!

[@rosssmith579]

Nothing changes, keep an eye out for booster boxes, even when they are a little more than they used to be

[@pokeoz91]

Exactly!

[@Marcus-ju1ir]

Better to pay 30-40 extra now rather than 300-400 in a few years

[@fabiopolar]

Fusion Strike, Crown Zenith, Paldea Evolved & Twilight Masquerade are the best Sets to buy in EU right now, you can get all of these way cheaper than the US market.

[@thederpster2911]

@@fabiopolar yup, finally 😬 I see all the Black Friday offers in the US every year and I’m always bummed out by the huge discounts, now finally we get the long end of the stick. I see Paldea evolved everywhere here in the Netherlands and Germany as well, so we got a pretty nice restock on those

[@mhutch5082]

Eu?? Yucky

[@pokeoz91]

It's funny how different markets have different prices hey!

[@starkiller1341]

Not true crown zenith tins up quite expensive in the UK although fusion strike surprisingly still retail

[@fabiopolar]

@@starkiller1341 I was talking about EU, not UK... But you are still right, Crown Zenit ETBs are already expensive here too, but my favorite product are the 3Blister Pin collections and mini tins which you can still get for 5€ per Booster.

[@Kingsofthenorth1SKOL]

Silver tempest build and battle stadium is really cheap right now.🔥

[@PokeCharla]

It absolutely can be extremely difficult knowing where to park your cash in a difficult market like this, some good points and advice in here mate!

[@pokeoz91]

Thanks mate!

[@MushroomSleeve]

Crown Zenith would be $25 a pack right now if it didn’t get printed into the ground. It will take a little while but I believe it’ll get there.

[@PokéGalRed]

Thanks for all the info! Been watching your videos for a bit, and it’s been helpful w/starting my own pokemon investment fund. My latest big win was finding 3 surging sparks booster boxes in a pokemon center vending machine. Got them at preorder prices. It was a good day!

[@pokeoz91]

Nice work! Surging Sparks is a good pick.

[@DavidRamirez-dy1hm]

My local Sam’s club just dropped 5 more pallets of the Sea and Sky box.

[@pokeoz91]

Ah they're so good!

[@starkiller1341]

Im stockpiling sword shield set packs before they get too expensive

[@pokeoz91]

Good plan!

[@ish220293]

Hi mate. Could you do a video on older poke ETBs like Evolving Skies, Cosmic Eclipse, Unbroken bonds for example as investments opportunities? Thanks. Also brilliant content as always! Keep it up!

[@pokeoz91]

Great suggestion!

[@ish220293]

@@pokeoz91 legend. Look forward to it!

[@Evanlix3333]

it probily slowed down cause people are like shoot prismatic is coming out do i buy surging or save for prismatic

[@Socherbal]

I agree. Those 3 sets are what I’d invest in right now if I HAD to invest in something. The caveat is I’m not sure I’d invest in anything right now. For once, this really does seem like a bubble ready to pop. May take it a year, but pop it will

[@Iamwillz]

Love God Skies. THE set that brought up Sun and Moon and redefined SWSH Alt Arts as THE modern chase card TYPE. Moonbreon, to the moon we go ~~

[@Rotbolter]

love your vids beast

[@190avgdad]

Shrouded etbs? Thoughts

[@themobbdeep66]

I wouldn't park all my money in Shrouded just because it's cheap, but it is worth picking up a few boxes just to have a stake. It will go up in price eventually, how much and when that happens is hard to say. It's not a great set, but supply and demand plus the artworks for some of the IRs should help realize some gains.

[@robertromero8094]

I just bought another case of pc etbs yesterday. I like quite a few cards in the set. I'm at 2 or 3 cases now. And 2 or 3 cases of normal etbs. Just depends on how cheap you can get them.

[@thederpster2911]

@@robertromero8094 agreed, I see the cards and they’re not world beaters, but quite a lot above €/$/£ 20,- and this set most probably won’t get a big reprint, if any at all

[@jellypete2338]

More packs for bucks with the booster bundles

[@pokeoz91]

Look at the top chase 😬

[@JD022]

Picked up fusion strike build and battle boxes on Pokémon center for $20. Good value in my opinion

Which one do you think? Surging Sparks booster for £150 or Twilight masquerade for £120 ? Thanks

[@robertromero8094]

Probably surging.

[@dennysoto9872]

Should i buy 151 booster bundle or crown zenith sea collection box ? To invest in

[@pokeoz91]

Oo big question. Both!

[@vice7914]

Hey oz would you think it would be good to get the astral radiance pc etb? I see that they are still in stock and wondered if they are a good investment

[@pokeoz91]

I really think it's the stamped promo in the scarlet and violet PC ETBs that are adding value but it'll be fine long term!

[@eddietung446]

Oz, what do you think of 3 pack blisters for Astral, Crown, Brilliant Stars, Paldea Evolved?

[@pokeoz91]

I've got plenty of brilliant because I think from memory they have a Glaceon promo 🤔

[@eddietung446]

@pokeoz91 so in your opinion, a strong set with a a good promo should make 3 pack blisters a decent investment?

[@mols183]

Thanks for the update 🥃

[@pokeoz91]

No problem 👍

[@GodRareCollectibles]

Surging Sparks is pure 🔥. Prices will not dip as much as people think regardless of whether there's a reprint or not & also Prismatic will not affect Surging Sparks prices as much as well. The Surging Sparks reprints will get snapped up right away, especially if there gunna be below 200usd. Astral Radiance is definitely a dark horse & so as Paldean Fates. Good video man.👍

[@pokeoz91]

Thanks man. And yeah, the way the market is at the moment, I think SS will get absorbed very easily!

[@GodRareCollectibles]

@pokeoz91 100% bro without a doubt. 🔥

[@Tekkzn]

The 151 gains were so good. Especially as it was the thing I got into. Pokémon go is growing out there in the real world and word is spreading around about this franchise and things such as TCG. People flex the cards in their phonecases. 😂

[@pokeoz91]

It's definitely growing man!

[@Nickolus34]

Prismatic evolutions!!🎉

[@AaronDay-m9g]

12:20. I think you have mentioned the greninja being done by 5ban graphics before. The SIR is by Akagi (who has only done like 10 cards) - I think you might be thinking of the regular ex artist?

[@jacobbhendersonn3529]

Not quite everything 😅

[@korayoduncu5883]

Hi, I have 5 sealed paldean fates booster bundles. What do you think, open or wait? I bought them from 29,45 EUR each

[@fabiopolar]

An absolute long term hold, forget about it for a few years and you will be happy

[@robertromero8094]

Wait for what? Wait to open lmao

[@rocklee7634]

@@korayoduncu5883 I honestly think that bundles are going to be the way to go at some point. Much more approachable for most people and thus way more liquid. Imagine if they had that for Evolving Skies? It would be like $160 per bundle if my math is right. I’d buy in a heartbeat.

[@too_much_pc]

@PokeOz Legend! not too many at the 19th ;P Hodling Hodling...maybe swap some SS for temporal forces? Go Aussie !

[@drewaz1247]

Pokemon Steve Irwin 🐐👑 Do you believe that even the worst sets that people don’t want or dislike will still creep up in price over time if remained sealed? (Long term) 5-10 years

[@mgberserk]

Yes, anything will go up by some margin if they stop reprinting them, just make sure theres atleast one chase or one likeable card in the set, like shrouded fable is really horrible, even tho its cheap its not worth getting more than 2-3 boxes just incase it goes up (etbs or wtv u want)

[@pokeoz91]

Definitely, i mean look at what crimson invasion from sun and moon has done this year...

[@Mishishere]

Funny you mention those ES 3 pack blisters, I have 2x on the marketplace for $250AUD for both and I cannot find a buyer at all! Nobody seems interested. I did have one guy argue with me that he should only have to pay $30 since that’s what they were at retail, so he got promptly blocked.

[@pokeoz91]

Oh wow! Hopefully you find a buyer mate!

[@rocklee7634]

New One Piece set is fire

[@thederpster2911]

Don’t they print the sets as often as they want? I’m on the fence about investing in OP as they reprinted almost every set in the last 3 months

[@Desard1]

​@@thederpster2911 Doesn't Pokemon do the same?

[@thederpster2911]

@ well yes and no, of course Pokemon reprints, but they reprint as long as a set is in rotation, I don’t know what the deal with One Piece is, do you know? Would love to get more info on that.

[@rocklee7634]

@ it’s very much dominated by players right now, thus the pricing swings by playability. Booster boxes are $100 usually at release, OP-01 boxes are like $300+ right now. As a long time fan of the anime and manga, I think tons of the product is undervalued especially for how hard it is to pull when/if collectors jump in. TLDR very promising TCG and a massively popular IP world wide.

[@thederpster2911]

@ thanks for your answer. Do you think as the OP space is dominated by players, that Bandai keeps printing if prices of the boxes get too high? Even for older sets?

[@stevegaspar]

Not sure I agree it's not the right time to buy SSP. For example my wife and I said the same thing about Evolving Skies for $225 USD and now look. Of course not all sets will be ES but it's worth noting nearly all SWSH sets are now over $200 USD and could see $300+ within a few years. And ES being $2k+. Potential to miss out on SSP unless a big restock occurs in the near future

[@Kingsofthenorth1SKOL]

What is ssp? Surging sparks?

[@pokeoz91]

Yeah it’s a tricky one, could go either way for sure!

[@Evanlix3333]

is it just me or do i see more on your shelf every video 👀🤔

[@pokeoz91]

Haha it's always growing!

[@DZetti_Collection]

Vivid Voltage > Surging Sparks It's cheaper, older, and probably the next booster box to sell out at the pokemon center.

I'm glad somebody likes it 🤡
