Twilight Masquerade Ready To Run? Evolving Skies Climbs Higher! Pokemon Investing Market Update

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

When do you think Twilight will sell out on the Pokemon Center? itwasneveraphasecards.com/

[@Vaulted_DC]

Give it a week

[@erikvanderploeg9969]

Here in the UK it's lowest is 140 dollars. I'll deffo grab some. Can't really lose with that price

[@SeanFlood-q1d]

I bought my nephew the Eevee IR in a PSA 10 for his first birthday a few months ago. I told him it should be able to pay for his books for college in 18 years.

[@Top_Loaded_JRGS77]

This market is nuts. So many more people have flooded the hobby since October/November, they are just buying anything they can get their hands on. Sealed products and singles are all up. Its getting wild out there but its definitely more exciting.

[@zawarudo213]

yeah what I never understood tho is why are people even investing it's a hobby, a card game I get collecting but to make money as it were stocks...idk

[@Top_Loaded_JRGS77]

@@zawarudo213 its capitalism at its finest. Pokémon is a tangible product you can hold in your hand and people want it so there will be people who scalp, hold as an investment and collect for fun. I am trying to build a brand and open a store down the road so I buy sealed products and hold so I can possibly stock a store. I am also trying to get into pack breaks and get my brand noticed by the distributors. It is very hard to get distribution for Pokémon or sports cards. I plan on passing it all on to my son. If you like what you do and have an interest in what you sell then it isn't rally a job. Its a passion that affords you a living.

[@Mycoldyourdone]

Never understood? As IF it were stocks? You’re just saying things just cuz. The charts, numbers and datas would be able to help you understand it, but wait, you rather spew holier than thou statements. It’s a card game to most, an investment for some, and a hobby for everybody. Don’t get stuck in the past, evolve with the time. Be like Pokemon.

[@BizKnowledge6]

That’s why I’m about to off load 😂 they’re the exit liquidity fyi

[@chadfleming8234]

Smoke and mirror sold out in 2 secs. Had 2 etb's in cart @49.99 each was already signed in hit pay, Bunk OOS!

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Yeah unfortunate!

[@TellyTime36]

I made sure my shop account was already pre signed in, I was able to add one of each item to cart then checkout in 2 clicks. I usually put a test item in the cart to test how the checkout process works. :) good luck next time :)

[@chadfleming8234]

@@TellyTime36 Yeah, I had that all setup the same way, but a no go for me for some reason...

[@DosKittehs]

I plan on grabbing some Temporal Forces, I really like a lot of the artwork in it.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Some stunning looking cards

[@burlskeys]

Love the video. Thanks a lot for the content. I have about an 8k sealed and 5k graded psa 10 collection I’ve built up since January 2024, you’re my main content creator on KZbin that I look to for solid advice and data. Appreciate the content- been following since the beginning.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Thanks for your long term support, means a lot! You have a great collection going keep it up.

[@justinlopez6347]

great channel been binge watching you since yesterday!

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Appreciate it, glad you're enjoying the content!

[@maximillianwarren6056]

The market is being kind to my collection but as always… wish I had more!

[@JDubKillinKicks]

I returned 2 Charizard UPC to Target back when they still accepted returns because the market for the box tanked to the $90s when they flooded them out. I never bought any others either, kicking myself now. Evolving Skies being in it I should have realized it was a sure winner down the road.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Don’t be hard on yourself it happens!

[@WeThe6ix]

Your videos are so informative (and addicting to watch) lol. Thanks for all you do for the community! #endgang

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Thanks for the support. Appreciate it!

[@EeveelutionaryTree196]

I had some sealed TWM Sleeved displays and replaced them with booster boxes recently. Cracked the sleeved displays open because I really want the Greninja - or at the very least Teal Mask Ogerpon EX to play with. Got neither, but managed to pull the Eevee IR from them, so now I have 2. Also the cleanest Eevee I've seen, so quite likely to be a PSA 10 :)

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Congrats on the clean Eevee pull can't complain about that

[@BestBly]

Bought 5 charizard upc and 5 evolving skies boosters box back in the day for $120 each.. opened 1 of each so still 4 of each sealed. Bet ppl didn’t expect the upc to be up so much…everyone was so negative but I thought it was gonna be cool. Evolving skies was obvious I usually only buy 1 or 2 of each set but got 5 of evolving. I still remember almost buying a case of evolving for around $550-600 but that’s more than I’m usually spending at once. Also a fan of crown zenith.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

That's some serious foresight you had there!

[@AnimeNewsRadio101]

You smart man, I know little about of the market TCG. Definitely made a worth it your money back.

[@Socherbal]

I think the 2 stand out packs on the charizard upc is 1 darkness ablaze and 1 vivid voltage. I have seen someone open a charizard upc and instead of these two packs, they had two other packs of one of the better sets. It might’ve been evolving. They said in the video it can change based off print run. So apparently, some of those charizard UPCs are absolutely stacked.

[@SocialSophia]

I'm not in the scene i just want the eevee box is my fav cards and it'll be my only cards, in Norway they cost $130 vs $60 in the US what can i do?

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

I’m sorry I’m not really familiar with how the Pokemon market works over there. But it’s pretty hard to get boxes for $60 here right now. After shipping you’re probably gonna be near $130. I would check with a local card shop if you have one.

[@brendondowdy5651]

This channel is dope. Wish I found it 2 months ago before I ripped tons of ES and passed buying unlimited more of them for under $3 a pack lol

I picked up 3 Charizard UPCs from FB marketplace for about $138 each ($200 Canadian each) opened one and got lucky with 17 packs instead of 16. It had 2 vivid voltage instead of 1. Sadly didn't get any big pulls. I just wanted the promos tho ❤

[@stevenscribner9787]

Had it in my cart at 12pm and it was sold out before 12:01.. I couldn't even get checked out before it sold out. Lol

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Sorry my man it's tough out there

[@TellyTime36]

Make sure to do a test run on their checkout process. I usually add a test item to cart to test all the way up to clicking pay. I also signed in with my shop account so it pre signed in everything after clicking checkout I clicked 1 button to pay.

[@sheldonparsons7914]

I just picked up a surging sparks bb for 180. Feeling pretty good

[@Goonielogic]

Congrats people and ur doing a great job

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Thanks!

[@monster4770]

Very helpful video. In my region there’re Lost Origin pokemon center etb deals about $80 and Paldea Evolve BB for $150. Do you think I should buy these deals and hold them ? Since twilight is kinda new i think they’ll have restock :))

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Paldea Evolved booster boxes under MSRP for long term hold is a no brainer IMO

[@monster4770]

@ :)) nice reply bro. What’s your opinion on the Lost origin pokemon center etb for $80. I think this is exclusive so maybe it’s good. On the other hand, $80 for 10 packs is quite considering ??

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

@@monster4770 Market is $90 already so $80 is good. No stamped promo in Sword and Shield era PC ETBs but decent long term hold as well.

[@rave1X]

The second he said this the tcg subreddit had pics of a dude hauling away a cart full of blooming waters that was taller than him

[@samersalama6275]

If it wasn’t for surging, temporal would be my favorite set.

[@valir8536]

I have a question I’m new to this and I’m wondering if it’s okay to buy normal etb instead of the pokemon center etb because they always seem to be sold out

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Yeah for a long term investment 5+ years you will make money. The PC ETBs of this era have proven to be vastly better than regular ones though. The stamped promos and they don't get reprinted.

[@Dynamite2013B]

End gang! Great stuff as always.

[@DreamReaperGaming]

good Stuff and congrats to the winners

[@MrFarva85]

Nice tip about buying 6 BB’s to ship in a case. I’m waiting on my first PC order so I’m a bit anxious to see if the pack job was good! End gang btw!

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Hope your boxes arrive safe!

[@TripleTeeCG]

Can you reply back If they shipped the 6 booster boxes in a sealed case? Considering getting 6 Booster boxes as well.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

@@TripleTeeCG They have for me in the past. I said that in the video as well.

[@binkleyme]

Evolving Skies booster boxes are still selling for around $950 on ebay

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Only a few left at that price then it goes up to $1200 on eBay for buy it now’s

[@TheBarnz91]

I watched two sell for £1150 yesterday on eBay! I’m soo glad I bought two box’s back in March 23 for 300 each!

[@valir8536]

Is it worth buying paradox rift right now

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Paradox just recently shot up to $140 if you can pick some up closed to $120 I like that price better. I like Paradox rift long term too.

[@cooldaddyfunk]

God, I coulda got 4 Charizard UPCs for 80$ a piece! 😅 The growth is incredible. I'm just glad I have what I do have!

[@benwoods7212]

The Eevee will surpass the Magikarp as the most expensive illustration rare in SV. That’s my hot take anyway…

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Spicy spicy take

[@mmatthewdavey5704]

Prismatic hype will make it happen

[@samersalama6275]

Evo skies is unmatched. One can argue more than team up just because there is a huge discrepancy between the 2 print runs

[@777superlightwater]

A LOT of vending machines still have the TWM BB in stock

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Wish I had some near me. Closest is like 200 miles away.

[@Sillyboy161]

Great stuff

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Thanks for watching!

[@callmekeon831]

New to investing would you recommend to buy a bb of evolving skies? As a long term investment or do you think that the peak of the set is around the 2k mark

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

I just bought one myself at $1k. Definitely room to run on them. Great long term investment.

[@Mattrz34]

Peak is far more than 2grand

[@carminemuraglia882]

No doubt that box will continue to run for the next 10-20 years. 2-3k sooner than people think. It is essentially the greatest set ever released, with a nice looking box.

[@callmekeon831]

@@Itwasneveraphasecardsalr thanks another question does the market of the states have impact to let’s say somewhere in Asia as I’m actually from the phillipines and I’m planning to invest in twilight masquerade as your video suggests.
