Completing (almost) a 151 master set is my best decision all year.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Fantastic set, best of S&V era, and I hope to master it as well! I'm not seeing anything we know about in 2024 outpacing it yet either.

[@WhatsYourDadSnap]

I picked up so many of these already, i could just see the beautiful details in the art work and just wanted them for my collection.

[@PokemonFamClub]

You have great taste 😉! All great cards and there's so many more too, these were just some that stood out to me.

[@bbq1040]

I have a lot of those cards on your list and I agree they are beautiful. I'm not worried about getting psa 10 copies though. Happy new year and keep up the good work.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Awesome, great collection pieces! Happy New Year and thanks for the support!

[@adampaviacorp.6780]

Thankyou for your list, the Miridon ex 244/198 was a card i really wanted on release, failed to pull it and then totally forgot about it. So now im currently bidding on one :D

[@nevercold808]

Man, I rip a decent amount of packs and I've only pulled a handful of the cards you have in your top 10 and honorable mentions. Did you forget CZ released in Jan '23? It was painfully missing from your list. So many bangers in that set. It is unreal. Happy New Year, Fam! All the best to you for 2024!!!

[@PokemonFamClub]

I was focusing on SV1+, and in my attempt to make unscripted videos I did not state that clearly. If I included Crown Zenith, it probably would have been like 8 of the top 10 cards. 😃 I've been deep thinking last couple days, would you rank Crown Zenith higher then 151 as far as sets go? I'm leaning CZ as tops, it just has so much, it's such a fitting honor to SW&SH and so fun to rip. Happy New Year!

[@nevercold808]

​@@PokemonFamClubI was actually thinking about this recently myself, with the end of 2023 bringing about a bunch of videos from Poketubers ripping great modern sets and I think CZ just may be the best holiday/specialty set Pokémon has ever released. The back half of the Galarian Gallery is just so, so good. It's definitely way more fun to rip than 151. 151 is a bit punishing in my experience. It kinda does have that ES risk/reward vibe to it, tho.

[@StaMaKiWeekly]

I'm surprised that there was no Crown Zenith on the list! I'm thinking about cracking some more crown zenith to get some that I am missing like the Suicune or Glaceon!

[@PokemonFamClub]

I was thinking purely S&V, but you're right Crown Zenith did release in Jan and I could have included that. Most of the list would have been crown zenith then, lol.

[@tokyodiecastracing]

Im big on the rare art cards most between $1-$3 in Japan. My fav card is the Garbador rare art. So beautiful

[@kenneth1523]

Apparently there are a lot of the Pikachu grey felt hats in circulation so hopefully it will eventually be a good price for you. At least the PSA 10 may not be more expensive than a raw.

[@PokemonFamClub]

They are selling like hotcakes on ebay, even at $135+ raw still. Demand through the roof. I got a giant one for my wall, I just need to get a frame. 😃 Happy New Year!

[@phatfanny_]

Great list. I would definitely have the ninetales from obsidian flames in there as well. It looks amazing and the fact you can get it for $10 or less is insane

[@PokemonFamClub]

Great pokemon and card, and I thought a lot about the IR's in general, but couldn't see them fitting in the top 10 for my personal list. At this time the demand for them is low and supply high. We'll see how they go over the next couple years. Happy New Year!

[@Remzrolller89]

Some of my favorites are my halo flareon and jolteon from obsidian flames cause I loved this back in the day in the base set the base set jolteon is the winner

[@bilyan5003]

Love the uniqueness of these picks!

[@PokemonFamClub]

Glad, thank you!

[@user-jc3pl3de8b]

Anyone else think nidoking illustration rare in 151 only being $8.12 is low he was one of the most nostalgic pokemon in the games you can get him early on and destroy anything and the famous level 100 nidoking before brock glitch

[@tartanscout]

I love how considered this list is, really good explanations on them all too, thanks for sharing. I'm surprised neither Magikarp nor Ninetails made your list or honourable mentions, both are in mine with Magicarp taking my top spot for 2023. Completely agree re Felt Hat. Would have been my number 2 card but didn't make my top 10 based on the way in which people are trying to get so much money for it along with the complete failure from the pokemon company on it's release. I think and hope there will almost certainly be a reprint in 2024. Gardevoir is a great edition which is made even more special when you take into consideration the story line created with the evolution cards two. I put all three in a spot as a set. Great video, first time I've come across your channel, subscribed now. All the best for 2024.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Thanks! I love the Magikarp especially, but didn't pick it due to it's already inflated price. If it drops, for sure would be an instant pickup. Ninetails is a great card, but just didn't make my top 10. Love that gardevoir and I still need to pick up ralts and kirlia, never pulled them. Still time though. Thanks for watching, have a great 2024!

[@Troutfisch]

I have many of these already, I just need that Van Gogh Pika since I missed out on the initial drop 😑

[@PokemonFamClub]

Awesome that you have most already, and yes, the Van Gogh drop was a nightmare, sadly. I don't believe the rumor of more hitting the market, but we'll see; I will just skip at the current price and above.

[@CryptidKeeperTCG]

Paid a boatload for grey felt hat pika. My favorite card in my collection 🥰

[@PokemonFamClub]

It's my favorite card of 2023, congrats on adding it to your collection! Demand is not falling, can see tons of sales each day in the last few days. Happy New Year!

[@jeast9648]

I got really lucky with the 151 charizard. I bought two etbs got a god pack in one and pulled another lone charizard from the other.

[@PokemonFamClub]

That's awesome, congrats! Sometimes it just works that way. I haven't even pulled the Charmander or Charmeleon IR's, let alone the Charizard.

[@Remzrolller89]

I love my pigeot the illustration on the holographic is phenomenal I’m surprised it’s not worth more

[@matttran7161]

If were counting crown zenith, you should basically pick up any textured GG cards under $10-15. Hoopla unbound, Darkrai, Melony (a literal waifu), all so good.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Ya, I didn't really convey well that I was discussing only S&V sets. If I included CZ, many of my picks would have been from that set,. Leafeon and Zoroark near the top for me, Suicune too. Happy New Year!

[@iaoFutureProof]

My son pulled a charizard EX in his first 151 ETB. We’re hooked!

[@nuglet3340]

I came across someone who claimed they pretty much sold a bunch of grey felt hat pikas and bought a psa 10 gengar masaki promo with the profits.. crazy stuff

[@shuimu88]

Hope to sweep all these SV SAR hits someday. Unfortunately prices here in APAC are not as good.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Happy New Year! Are you able to buy from ebay, or is the shipping too insane?

[@MommaKaybearNJames69]

If I could find someone to trade for the felt hat Pikachu I would. I would love to have that card in my collection too

[@frankflammini6935]

If you have the umbreon vmax evolving skies i would do it 😅

[@PokemonFamClub]

Most people are going to want like 100+ in value for the trade, unless you can find a friend who got a ton free. Hope you get one, gl! Happy New Year!

[@dylanbanocy7729]

Good choice on number 1

[@roguetrader303]

I am happy with completing my 151 collection.

[@PokemonFamClub]

151 is an awesome set and the best one to complete from 2023! Happy New Year!

[@johnsnow6290]

I've not got the zard sir in 250 packs now

[@PokemonFamClub]

The 151 one? I'm not sure if I've ripped that much, but I'm getting there. It's a tough one for sure! Good luck in 2024!

[@thegmail356]

I really like my Van Gogh pikachu but why so expensive. I own one and done. I really liked the 151 gio sir and is way to cheap for what looks like. I been waiting to see if paradox rift sir will dip since alot the others from paldea evolved are crashing hard now. Dendra sir is under $10 is crazy dumb.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Ya, just pure supply and demand, you can see people are buying them left and right on ebay, daily, for $135+. Most people that pay that much won't let them go, reducing the supply even more. There are not a ton of PR SIR's listed on tcgplayer, which shows how hard they are to pull. I would love to see them dip more, but other then Roaring moon and Iron Valiant, they're pretty low now. Only about 50 of each listed there of those two. Happy New Year!

[@johnathanbullington9703]

I got lucky my son got the Charizard ex in first pack . One touch sent to PSA still waiting 😢😢

[@PokemonFamClub]

Awesome, good luck, hope you get the best grade! 🙏

[@oldmanjake6541]

Fortunate to pull most of the cards in this video. Hoping to pull some more fire in 2024. 🙂👍

[@PokemonFamClub]

Awesome, great cards! Happy New Year! May the best pulls be yet to come!

[@guclaray]

Tapu koko SIR very underrated

[@PokemonFamClub]

So true, beautiful card! Happy New Year!

[@swisharamful]

IMO it’s too early to tell for 151. The set will be reprinted for a couple of years and it’s only been out for a few months.

[@PokemonFamClub]

Market's pretty flooded now, even UPC's being sold for sub $80 at times. I think it's a great set and will keep people coming back, but who knows.

[@louloudallasmultipass]

Word on the street is there’s going to be another wave of the Van Gogh Pikachu in the new year 👀🤷‍♂️

[@PokemonFamClub]

I have not heard that, but that would be fantastic. They did already do a round two, but I missed it while working.

[@louloudallasmultipass]

@@PokemonFamClub Apparently a 2024 IRL release in the Netherlands but don’t hold me to this 🤣

[@linde710]

Yes I heard that too when I was at Dutch Comic Con. A shop chain in the Netherlands would offer it. But still have not heard anything more about it.

[@SonniCide]

I got the Charizard in my first etb 😂

[@PokemonFamClub]

That's some awesome good luck, congrats!

Hi from the future, Pokemon release Pikachu in the gray hat in 2024

[@PokemonFamClub]

Can't say what I was thinking back then, but you're right, came out in 2024; probably just from talking about it so much before xmas I thought it was a 2023 card.

[@coreymackxs]

Let’s go!

[@PokemonFamClub]

Thanks and happy new year!

[@zackfranklin]

I pulled the Charizard hahah

[@PokemonFamClub]

Congrats, awesome card! Happy New Year!

[@patrik3482]

I am not paying anything to people that abused Van Gogh's museum system for the card so the other people can't have it.

[@PokemonFamClub]

The Museum was a nightmare and the Pokemoncenter.com release as well. I should have been able to get in on the second round, but was working and missed it. Such is life, but like you, I won't pay these crazy prices, I can just live without it.

[@finksworld]

Great video!

[@PokemonFamClub]

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year!

[@FF-7]

Must have masterballs 151 japanese

[@PokemonFamClub]

True, I was focusing on English SV1+ only, but certainly master ball holos are great pick ups, some stuff from shiny treasure, as well as a ton of cards from Crown Zenith.

[@FF-7]

This list wasn’t fully consistent of every Blastoise, wartortle, and/or Squirtle card. 0/10 video. 😂

[@PokemonFamClub]

I see where your allegiance lies! 😎 We need to dip into japanese for a complete top 10 squirtle sqad list for 2023. Is the Pokemon Center exclusive Squirtle numero uno?

[@lludu2]

This was a very opinionated list.. I wouldn't agree with half of them

[@PokemonFamClub]

Would love to hear some of your top cards of Scarlet & Violet. Of course this is an opinionated list, it's just MY list, and meant as a conversation starter.

[@MrUrban]

your justification why cards are in top 10 is because you never got it.... not a good look.

[@PokemonFamClub]

I don't think that was my justification at all, the picks were based on cards I felt will be the most long term collectables that are undervalued right now.
