I just noticed that the Mew SAR is not listed on this website I used. That puts the artwork way over the top for me. Love that card!

[@Bloodshot_Blinkers]

This was a great video. I choose 151 for the nostalgia and masterball but that's just my opinion.

[@haganearpeggio8612]

what website was it

[@haydenbewley6458]

I didn't see an consideration to all the masterball reverses too! Those are sick!

[@sirdactyl]

Pokedata also doesnt have master ball reverses so 151 is wayyy higher than 15 lol

[@pokeking89]

Bro I thought u we’re flipping the bird at first lol

[@Tyveltal]

Lol same

[@PackageTotal]

That's what I said too about the last video lol

[@lilSchoen]

Living in Japan and I can’t get any 151, I loved VStar so much. If I had to pick one it’d be VStar still such an incredible set to me. Love you my man keep it up.

[@Burritoslay3r]

Vstar super underrated

[@_D3adB0y_]

I pulled that pikachu art out of Crown Zenith though. Plus I gotta say, the reason I am getting back into pokemon cards is because of 151 and the nostalgia. I see 151 being a huge collectors item. Could even see them making a 151 set each time they release a new series (scarlet & violet, then the next, etc) and making full arts of each pokemon in 151 eventually. That would be siiick.

[@marcoramius74]

Did you completely forget about the Master Ball aspect of 151? These are guaranteed 1 per booster box and the big hitters are in the hundreds of dollars due to rarity. Far more likely than the god packs of V-Star Universe. Even regular masterball commons are still around $20. This mechanic along with the nostalgia aspect puts 151 above V-Star Universe.

[@zachteding9970]

Not guaranteed I've had boxes without them

[@ZentzProductions]

@@zachteding9970was it a sealed box?

[@fadedmemories1738]

Yes you are Guranteed a masterball each booster box of 151. You either missed it or it wasnt a sealed box.@@zachteding9970

[@williamkshaw]

@@zachteding9970 it should have. If you didn't get one it could indicate that the box was tampered with

[@MyAkikan]

@@zachteding9970 all my displays i opened had a master ball. Its guaranteed.

[@snewstead1388]

Value is driven by basic economics of supply and demand. If it’s harder to pull and not guaranteed, then it will be worth more in the long run. Not to mention 151 has base set nostalgia.

[@TormentZero]

I feel like both these sets are going to do well in the long run. But if you gave me a choice to buy a box of either one right now, I'd buy VStar Universe. Japanese specialty sets are such a joy to open!

[@joshuacutsinger1043]

Actually Vstar is the set that brought me back into pokemon. Was at the local shop with the kids and it caught my eye. I bought a binder and a box and have only collected Vstar since then. You hit the nail on the head. There is just something about knowing every pack has a hit and every box has something to look forward to. I personally have only opened 2 of them, but they are great fun

[@Snorlax_Dad]

Both are great and I think from a long term perspective your point about the God Pack uniqueness of VStar will make it a better investment from a sealed standpoint. I think opened product though 151 edges it out with Masterball mechanic creating a set where the value is well distributed.

[@khaosemperor4611]

The other thing to consider is the English release of 151 isnt out yet so It could have a huge impact on the value of the Japanese release

[@kenneth1523]

Don’t forget the Masterball reverse holos in 151. Like the Pikachu in VStar Universe, I like it that more humble cards can have value.

[@ItsmeEdwin]

I love both of these sets, hoping to buy a few more boxes and now with reprints, hopefully, be cheaper.

[@fadedmemories1738]

Honestly agree with a lot of what you said, but you gotta look at the masterballs. That's a HUGE swing that you never mentioned. Plus look at XY evolutions, people love the OG pokemon so this alone will drive it above Vstar universe. I think both sets will do well but 151 I think will be worth more overtime.

[@feddatgaming8000]

Thanks for the honest advice. Both sets are great, im a huge mew fan so love the mews in 151 but it’s a hard choice between the two sets

[@Jerm8]

151 has that nostalgia which helps it initially. In the long run with the variety of really nice cards at the top vstar I think holds its value a little better.

[@HikerMike28]

Definitely want to grab a box of both for the collection. Thank you for another great video vault !

[@pokerage13]

V star universe is my favorite Japanese set right now. I'm waiting for 151 to drop which I'm hoping will happen when English 151 drops. But for sure want to stock up more on each set.

[@Yattz178]

Great to see the investment side of things, that’s the bread and butter, I’m not an investor so to speak but it’s good to see how you could expect to see the collection moving forward.

[@stephenmcmillan6905]

Love the investing videos! I agree can’t go wrong with either one!

[@reps4riley]

Thank you! Always helps!! I invested in both. Master sets complete now loading up on sealed BB

[@joostbos3492]

Thanks for sharing this info man! Some really good stuff to think about. Im just so in love with the gold cards from vstar, love the artworks.

[@RickB.rolling]

Thanks for the insight! Knowing is half the battle...

[@RFseeker]

Thanks Sean. Love how you compare sets at time so we can understand true value.

[@katwolfey7836]

I remember finding one of your investing videos when you weren’t even at 10k yet and I knew I found a great channel at that time. Happy to see these videos make a return and can’t wait to see you hit 100k!

[@PokeVault8]

I appreciate that!

[@andyeames2014]

Love vstar universe, it’s the set that brought me back to the hobby, need to pick up a 151 box for the sealed collection but

[@Gibbers5]

The zard in 151 looks like it came out a three year olds pop up book.. the blastoise is sick tho

[@portelasofia98]

such a nice analysis! I completely agree with you! those cards exclusive to god packs will definitely win during the test of time

[@chaitanyaadiga260]

Love the thought process. Glad we’re not limited to one set though 😂

[@wendellwatson8318]

In my opinion, I believe Vstar Universe also has better quality of texture on the cards compared to 151. I noticed the quality isn't the same with any Scarlet and Violet sets.

[@brentb93]

Crazy how Vstar price increased over the past months. I should've grab a box when they were $80-$75 😮‍💨

[@bradkohl99]

151 I think has staying power because of nostalgia.

[@Kendopilor1992]

Ive had 2 masterball holos in one box and sometimes these weird pokeball holos that overlapped on some cards.

[@cobrathan]

Awesome video Sean. Thnx for another amazing video. The Comparison with the two sets Value price per pack. We learn a lot today. You only forgot the masterball cards the can go for 100s of dollars to. V stars comes with a guaranteed S.A.R but 151 comes guaranteed with the masterball. So i think value in the end is almost the same

[@jimwilson2375]

Love them both! Just need them to be a little bit closer to that JPN MSRP haha. Great vid! Thanks!

[@Yocouzin]

Love both ! Leaning toward Vstar though… but just by a bit

[@miketheballer1]

U forgot about the masterball pika, that card is like $300

[@oscarquintana28]

100% with you on these, but what are your thoughts on these exact sets but in English? No god pack, no master ball reverse 🤔

[@YakovK09]

What would be the best time to buy 151 japanase? after the launch of the english version? wanted the english so bad but the reverses suck in comparison.

[@katD6372]

thanks for the video. its always good to learn from others , and getting different opinions to make a choice

[@BlackClover_13]

I definitely look for the high value cards in most collectibles but it’s different for me with Pokémon I’d rather pull the art work I love

[@elite_playez3614]

Pulled 2 sar outta 151👀👀👀 the zardy as well as the pikachu but that was after 2 boxes with one full art

[@williamkshaw]

In looking at your pricing for 151, it's not including the Master Ball as the Master Ball Pikachu is the most expensive of the set

[@BnTCards]

Dude nothing to do with this. 123 packs of obsidian. Not one charizard. Every card in the set. Not one charizard. Not ex Not gold Not full art Not special. Not one. 123. Packs. Just saying. My heart hurts

[@carshowgalsue7415]

Both are great sets...this had to been a hard video to make! I can't pick just one 🙈

[@PokeTrev8590]

In that opening bit when the boxes are censored, it looks like you're giving the finger and it's being edited for TV lol!

[@derrickrobinson1811]

Where are you ordering your booster boxes? I’m currently stationed in Japan and struggle to even buy individual packs. Most shops sell to only children and one pack per person. Thanks!

[@Neza1234]

Where can I get either one of these boxes when they’re reprinted?

[@kaptaincups]

When was this recorded? My 151 card sales have not matched those numbers lol

[@AlexWhite0221]

I really wish that the English sets would do god packs. I honestly would pick 151 over vstar just off nostalgia. Love your content keep up the great work

[@cindy-bn8co]

I berly have a few months into investing in pokemon cards. It has not been great into getting profits yet, but hopefully soon, it will do have a few v star boxes, but I plan to get as well 151

[@camsvideocollections9766]

My girlfriend and I traded our bulk in today for a 151 box and pulled the Sar Mew Ex. Gorgeous card!

[@FreddyOak]

Love this take on things, appreciate the thought!

[@MDLman09]

Mrs Vault going to be happy no sealed products were harmed in the making of this video. Love the investing vids Sean!

[@Gymaholic1989]

I love both this set but I never get a good sar or sr from any

[@PokeChu0107]

Long time learker like a year subbed. Love your content. Glad you Ryan finally got together. I love that he reaches for your elder power lol.

[@hsvmalooboy6077]

It's always interesting to hear your thoughts on anything to do with pokemon. I love these sorts of videos. Keep up the great work mate

[@Thylax_]

Honestly. With how great sets these days are, with gorgeous artworks, makes it so hard to decide for someone who got back into collecting a few months ago 😅 Hopefully the reprints rumours are true and I'll be able to snag both sets at a good price range! Even so, Vstar ia currently at a affordable price for me, so picking it up 100%!

[@Chip-Machamp]

Good watching out boss, thanks for the heads up

[@naigel8]

I also think that the VSTAR is a better value set, not just because of the GOD pack. Great Video :)

[@RichardS-RGSCollectibles-zs2ys]

I didn't see the mew SAR on your price list sheet i know that's a huge card in 151 as well. Great video thought lots of good points as always!

[@PokeVault8]

That website must’ve missed it

[@Crusaders_TCG]

For these 2... I'd got with VSTAR.. I mean obviously the masterball is best part of 151 japanese... But Vstar just has that fealing... And Gunna try getting English 151 anyways

[@lipsin1976]

My opinion is 151. The box design is awesome and it makes it visually attractive to open it any time. Imagine a few years later, you see an unopened box with shrink wrap on both designs. 151 stands out in my opinion! :)

[@20_MarLie_01]

Interesting video. Thanks for letting us know

[@renegutierrez1362]

Thanks for this content so helpful

[@jaredringhoffer3775]

You didn't mention the reverse pokeballs in 151. Those go for $ especially the masterball and your guaranteed one a box too I thought

[@user-cl7lz2yh9j]

Thanks 🙏🏻 great info 😁

I love this video. I am here for the knowledge that you have and I do love your other videos too.

Think I'm gonna buy a box of Vstar to keep for a while. Been debating but just this video in general has me ready. 😆 Edit: not really an investor but building a sealed collection for another day. Whether selling or opening.

[@fender8755]

I bought some singles in vstar and would love to pick up a box to rip myself.

[@Broncomatt]

@pokevault8 great video! New to Pokémon card collecting/investing and really like the Japanese products. Where do you recommend purchasing the Japanese cards from?

[@abieangelocargando1889]

I'd go for 151 easily if it wasn't for the gold trio in vstar universe which balances the scales for me personally

[@DragonsQuest9211]

Thankyou for the knowledge

[@phuntsokphotography]

What’s the website that you checked the value of the cards in the packs that is show at 2:37 mark? Thanks

[@PokeDKShow]

Vstar is gonna keep that premium. Where 151 will be more a bulk regular run. For lack of better words for 151

[@pokerack]

Love your insight so thank you

[@Grimdarkpoke]

I’m torn. I think vstar may have it long term

[@brucenelson7637]

I have to vote for 151. I'm just biased a little because i grew up with the og cards, and 151 reminds me of them days. Great video, can't wait till the next one.

[@RadianceLight]

whats the site u opened up to see card list and the price?? at 2.25

[@tbc_games]

The best part is that there’s no wrong answer here. Pick either set, and you’ll be a-okay 👌🏻 Nice breakdown

[@Dopple_G]

been waiting for someone to use that steve scene

[@Bloodshot_Blinkers]

Definitely needs mentioning. Only buy sealed booster boxes. I know this is hard to find because retailers in Japan are cutting the shrink at purchase, as well as this drives your cost up, but it can't be said enough. Japanese 151 can be weighed. You don't want to get unsealed boxes. 151 hands down winner though IMO.

[@Bloodshot_Blinkers]

Also 151 masterball... Only 1 per booster box.

[@derekk2300]

I’d say both first. Next I’d say either one is a good pick up

[@cubber2139]
