We Need To Talk About Pokemon Twilight Masquerade...

There is no denying the popularity of the newest mainline Pokemon Card Set Twilight Masquerade. With the Greninja EX 214 leading the way and a pretty crazy run up on booster box prices we take a deeper look at the set and compare it to some popular Sword and Shield era sets like Lost Origin, Fusion Strike, and Evolving Skies. It is important for Pokemon Card collectors and investors to understand the market and try and see where Twilight Masquerade is at in the grand scheme of things.

What are your thoughts on Twilight moving forward? Love it or hate it? Let me know!

[@AA-Ashley]

I want to see if the teal mask ogerpon collection effectives it's value.

[@Teleios116]

I have all the chase cards for twilight. But it’s still crazy how the prices keeps increases and or being consistent in that price range. 😮

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Nice! Are you going to go for the master set?

[@Teleios116]

@@Itwasneveraphasecards I’m having a hard time finding the booster box for it and I feel like single packs and ETBs pull rates are inconsistent and a waste of money

[@FelixgreenYT]

151 tins are in stock on the pokemon center

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Yup the discord is on it! Thanks for the heads up.

[@Sam-c1v5r]

I thought the tera hats would not get that much love. But now that I’ve seen how greninja ex is doing, I’m hoping the upcoming eeveelution set will be almost as good as evolving skies.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Can’t wait for the Eevee set to get announced!

[@IneptCardCollector]

Wasn't a huge fan before, still haven't changed my mind. Bought a case of boosters and a single PC ETB for down the road. No itch to rip it at all. Su far I've bought two singles, skipping the Greninja. I didn't want it at 150, and I'm cool with other people enjoying something that's not for me.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Totally understandable!

[@rosettaaraara6633]

Carmine and Perrin SARs are definitely my favourite cards of the set

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Beautiful cards!

[@TheUntitledMisc]

Twilight is going to be the next lost origin

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

I love that you said this

[@ROBO_NUKEYO]

When it first came out. I was refusing to buy some only 151. Now my family and I open 151, crown zenith, and this one. A few other packs here and there. 😅

[@cryptomon86]

I was telling ppl I was loading up two cases for 540 each. Ppl laughed at me and said dead money lol That i would have years to buy it at that price. Ok

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

You were way ahead of the game!

[@jphran5]

My take is twilight is going to tank hard when these new sets come out. I too am shocked about the prices for twm at this stage. I kinda get the greninja chase but there’s really nothing behind it. The eevee ir is mid at best. I believe you were right lol. Give it some more time.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

@@jphran5 haha yeah definitely possible. Can’t wait for the last sets of the era it’s gonna be so fun

[@DreamReaperGaming]

Thank you for all the info.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Thanks for watching!

[@GDBull]

My question from an investing point of view on newer stuff is how do the kids rate it? And the pokemon. Like for me I gone hard on 151 as that's my childhood era

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

The kids love all the new stuff. My nephew is crazy for it.

[@KAGE.321]

Not a big fan of TWM from a collectors standpoint. I am also not a fan of trainer cards or the mask pokemon but the greninja chase is a real thing

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Oh yeah people will chase it

[@samersalama6275]

I love how well twilight is doing but I really thought temporal forces would have done well. I don’t think it’s out of the running but it’s not looking as good.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Temporal might be a sleeper

[@garymrcool7727]

I pulled the top two chase cards in two booster boxes

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Nice that’s awesome

[@Kwes23]

I think Twilight is a strong set. Ogerpon masks will hold up simply because of the art and the concept reminds me of Japanese tradition, just timeless…or maybe I’m a big fan of those. Regardless good set

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

I didn’t even think about the Japanese side with the masks! That is a good point!

[@joathannavarro103]

I was only able to grab 16 at the lows 😢

[@ZeGD-wg8tr]

Twillight is a very strong set, when there is no big reprint its going to the moon

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Reprints will dictate how high it can go your right

[@bng333]

twilight is be the next fusion strike/chilling etc. its a good set but no where close to evo skies caliber.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

If it ends up being like Fusion that’s pretty good!

[@bng333]

@@Itwasneveraphasecards 😝

[@georgeallen4007]

More than 3 months after release this set is still hitting hard … I stand by what I’ve said in the past that the Carmine SIR is one of the most beautiful looking trainer cards EVER ! The frog 🐸 is still a $300 or so raw card …. Perrin still a $70 card ….

[@patescortez88]

This is great about time

[@Top_Loaded_JRGS77]

Greninja is carrying the set. Remove that card and the box is $100 if not less. The set is mid tier and wasn't well received until Greninja proved to be hard to pull. Now its all the rage. Now Surging Sparks is highly anticipated just like Obsidian flames was but if it comes out with Obsidian Flames pull rates people will hate on it like they do with OF.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Greninja is carrying for sure, but can't really play that game of removing it from the set cause it's there. Some times a set only needs a good chase card. Surging Sparks is a much bigger set than OF and I don't think they will go back to easier pull rates.

[@nicks.9741]

Not right, EVS was not printed in 2022 but halfway 2021. Price charting isnt giving the right numbers for this comparison.

[@RFseeker]

I think Twilight will be only as good as the Greninja. Stellar will be a much better set.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

I hope your right. I would love for Stellar to do well.

[@agentcrypto7741]

Mid set unless you like Pokémon that look like masks. The SF greninja promo 💩 on the SIR from TM.

[@yellowballoon4143]

That greninja looks like a middle schoolers laundry getting thrown at you. Overhyped garbage

[@jasone42683]

The masses want it, or think they want it. You can't stop a collective group for banding beliefs together. The way the cookie crumbles.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Do you do any sealed investing or only collecting? Regardless of how you feel about the Greninja currently Twilight seems like a great investment

[@yellowballoon4143]

@@jasone42683 agreed. It just hurts as I did take some fine art classes in uni and the color theory’s over-saturation, lack of harmony and composition is actually just plain bad.

[@OkenTV]

it's got three waifu cards in the sets top 5, Its not a good set. Prices are going to smash down on this set. Paying 140$ for a booster box on this set is insane.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

The market currently thinks it’s a good set but I understand where you are coming from

[@spoofnation3146]

Greninja should be a $80 card . It may be a fan favorite, but it's ugly. I believe it will fall in the next few months.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Only time will tell at this point. It would be quite the drop to go from $300 to $80

[@Theu131]

If anything, your analysis still proves to me that twilight is heavily overrated and overhyped. Taking out the main chase from each set, which are all worth hundreds of dollars, you have Perrin, carmine, Kieran, eevee and ursaluna. That going against a set with Espeon, mew vmax, mew v, celebi and genesect in fusion. And aerodactyl , pikachu vmax, pikachu v and rotom in lost origin. I’d take all of those cards over any of the secondary chase cards in twilight except maybe eevee. I don’t believe people actually care about all those trainers, every other trainer in every other set has tanked except sort of iono. And the ogerpons and gold cards will drop in value as soon as they rotate out. Twilight is one of the few sets I can see having its top 10 cards devalue over the next year. It’s gotta get past reprints too. Maybe that greninja will carry it, but that’s its lone hope.

[@Itwasneveraphasecards]

Very likely, but still surprising the set is doing so well this many months after release. It might fade into the background after Surging Sparks, Team Rocket come out.

[@jasone42683]

Good take

[@simplysombersimplysomber903]

Saying it’s Overrated and over hyped after everyone talked so much shit about this set is hilarious to me

[@georgeallen4007]

😂 3 months after release and people still hate on TWM … keep crying that the frog 🐸 is close to $300 and you probably can’t afford it

[@simplysombersimplysomber903]

@@georgeallen4007 fr I Don’t get why people hate on it I’m in the middle of master setting it because it was the first set that came out when I started collecting lol

[@sn2967]

It's only expensive because it's new lol how do you fall for this everytime? 😂 These prices will plummet.

[@truetaru]

TM has one of the worst line-ups of SIRs. The trainers are probably the only decent looking ones. The only reason this set is even relevant is because of oMG gr3nINj4 fan favorite. Take away that card and then NO ONE would be talking about TM right now. And plus, pull rates are incredibly hard which is why prices are so high. Have a normal pull rate and these cards would be cut at least half if not more. Most overrated SV set.

[@ryanchavarria5171]

Twilight is trash.
