I haven’t collect Pokémon cards since it was first introduced booster pack TCG. 20+ years later, here I am starting collect Pokémon cards again starting with crown zenith. It’s always fun to open them up little by little. Took me about 50 booster packs to try and pull a gold card Arceus VStar. It’s crazy…. Love your content btw on your opinions.

[@stevensasy12345]

Crown Zenith is so fun to open. The trainer gallery adds a second set of chase cards and so many hits.

[@austinedwards1957]

How are you valuing the cards? I feel like some of those would be worth more at psa 10 right?

[@PokeTrainerTyson]

@twicebackedjake In your opinion, what is a good sealed product to singles ratio. I’m trying to decide how much to open versus singles to buy. For example for scarlet and violet I was considering opening a case and buying singles after that.

[@icanthinkof1396]

Love your content. crown zenith is by far the best I have done on a set , it's so fun to open. I did 2 etbs , and got amazing stuff from both. absolutely love this set. glad you got something good this time around.

[@TheRealPokemon616]

I’m loving crown zenith! Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on the some bird tins

[@MetallClaws]

hello jake, would you mind making a video, or just a quick short to explain the new rarity system, i feel like i have no idea whats going on at all.

[@thetravelingfoodshow]

That pikachu is unreal!⚡️⚡️⚡️ I love that is has other distinct pokemon from other popular SW&SH sets, the perfect send off card for the era.🔥🔥🔥

[@gianlucamorelli]

Tapping the toploader on the desk at the end of the video it's a must in your pack opening videos. As someone who mostly listens only to the audio because I am working while playing the video, it would feel as an incomplete experience if we didn't get the tapping 😂

[@Probasaur]

Absolutely one of the best sets in years. Can't open more than a couple myself but def enjoyed watching. Congrats on the awesome pulls! I hope that pika comes back a 10!

[@deanc4835]

Jake, today in Japan I bought VSTAR universe Giratina for $118 USD. I think that’s a decent deal. Do you see this card dropping in value before going up or do you think it can only go up from here?

[@Valor2902]

Thanks for the video Jake! I had a question not sure if anyone can answer. When S/V releases will we get the EX booster packs releasing too? I’m confused as to whether Scarlet and Violet will have their own set or if the English version will include the EX lists that I’ve been seeing floating around

[@russell4781]

Think ex cards are jus random in SV packs..

[@oldmanjake6541]

Great video Jake! I love me some Zenith. Finally pulled Mewtwo Vstar from a mini tin. 😂😊

[@cwand2351]

Dang those etb's were tough but the Regi boxes started off strong thankfully! I agree on the approach to rip until you get your fill then singles.

[@Balixity]

Really appreciate that you got the elite box!!!!

[@theREALmasterofnone]

I pre-ordered 3 cases of etbs for only $900 so I think I got a good deal and was able to get a master set from those 3 cases.

[@liltonyabc]

How is this the final batch???? The galar bird tins, the three pack blister, morepeko collection, and premium collections haven't released 🧐

[@James-bf7dk]

Those collection boxes had 🔥, but the etbs pulls were rough

[@donjon6409]

Ayyy my last ETB and final opening for good , gold dialga , simisear GG and a few others including radiant charizard 🎉

[@digismithytcg]

Going back to the rarity composition of a pack, I still don't think it's the confusing. However, do you consider 2022 booster packs confusing? If you do, then I can get behind saying Scarlet & Violet is confusing. The Scarlet & Violet configuration is basically the same thing as the 2022 sets, just with an extra reverse holo. Because holo 2 is the old reverse holo slot where it can be reverse or gallery card) and then holo 3 is basically our rare slot that we are used to, where it can be Rare (well now just holo) to Secret Rare. So one common is just getting swapped out for another Reverse Rare.

[@joshlopez7216]

Yes sir those collection boxes are where it's at. Picked up the pikachu vmax and pulled the toxtricty gg, radiant eternatus, and the gold vstar palkia. Am excited aswell for SV.

[@bilalandcards]

I definitely got my fix from opening CZ. I would love to open more but I'm keeping the rest sealed and just going to buy singles now. Singles are at a good price too plus they might even go lower.

[@vandermeerkaine9053]

took me about the same amount of packs for me to pull that Pikachu too, grats! Still hunting the Mewtwo

[@ariruiz305]

I’ve opened exactly 168 packs of CZ because I have 1680 cards logged for this set lol. Yes, I’m extra nerdy and catalog EVERYTHING. I have the base set in normal and reverse foil twice over. Have SO MANY GG and V triplicates and I’m missing even more to have a master set 😢.

[@pikman77]

What website do you use for cataloging your cards? I’m pretty new to collecting and would like to do this too

[@mav1877]

Nice Pikachu SR pull. I understand the enjoyment of opening Crown Zenith packs. I've opened over 250 packs. It's quite addictive.

[@jonezy4965]

I have been holding off on buying most of my crown zenith until the tins and pin collection boxes come out.

[@MrTacogood]

Thanks for the great video I have been extremely lucky I pulled all 4 gold cards with an extra giratina out of about 50 packs most from mini tins

[@realkofiki]

my coworker pulled the gold star giratina from the regidrago box while we were at work lol. i was so mad

[@fj7509]

You can buy a thousand dollars worth of CZ product and not pull all the cards, that’s absolutely a possibility. Even if it’s a smaller set, you can end up with duplicates just as much as you can end up with new cards. If you are on a budget and want the collection, buy the singles. Hands down. Lightning doesn’t strike twice, you will hit some and others you will lose big. Buying the singles makes it so you’re always winning.

[@focusobjectives]

took me 2600$ of product to pull everything myself and that was probably a bit lucky. only about 3-400$ of extra cards which prices will continue to drop on

[@YokkePutra]

I pulled Elesa's Sparkle and Raikou V Full Art GG from an ETB, that's pretty solid pulls I must say!

[@MisterStubstep]

You make good points but the singles prices will continue to decrease whereas the sealed product prices will stay the same or potentially increase. I will still open crown zenith because it is fun but purely for set collection purchasing singles/lots is the way in the long run

[@R1cht3r63]

The energy card is the last card in the pack so u can still do a card trick if u wanted too just one to the front

[@joshuaburklund4206]

I'm guessing it I'll be big someday, I've opened up so many packs where up four cards in the back are damged

[@runerombaut8349]

Its satisfying how you open those packs haha!

[@OSFGR4]

Pulled Regigigas VSTAR and duraludon VMAX out of a mini tin and a Alolan Vulpix V out of a single silver tempest yesterday :D

[@3l_Pinxhe_JoE]

Hey Best Friend. Glad your still in the Hobby! Hopefully you get a Gold Vstar card!

[@Japanesestudydreams]

A brilliant set 🎉🎉 love watching openings, thnx

[@scribbitb.4519]

I love charjabug, great pulls!!

[@adzmitch]

150 booster packs to pull Pikachu SR but you only spent $600 on products, $50 per ETB with 10 packs each, something's not adding up right here

[@TwicebakedJake]

I think it's closer to $750 after this video

[@kyleneeley1]

I would imagine the new pack setup will make holos extremely cheap. So like Sableye for example is about $2 right now, but if that came out in Scarlet Violet it may be $0.50 or less

[@WoopTCG]

Did that Absol have a holo bleed or is it just me?

[@MarketScraper]

The ETB was pretty cold, but the regi boxes more than made up for it!!

[@NateSchneider7]

Happy you finally pulled the secret rare Pikachu, Jake!

[@loumyself4446]

i opened 1 ETB and got that Giratina, best opening ever for me now waiting for SV

[@narumenthero]

I need that SR Pikachu... i refuse to get the singles for it for now.... gonna wait till Scarlet Violet drops, then get back to crown zenith... that way gonna save some money...

[@a-b0t633]

It has been good to me. I pulled Pikachu and Zeraora Vstar on my first opening. Then pulled Giratina and Dialga from the bird tins and I'm still not done.

[@kiddflo5]

I got girantina on my 4th etb, out of 10. I should've stopped! & kept the rest of the etbs sealed... But I got greedy & didn't really hit anything else, on the rest of the etbs. Lol

[@suavray_mon]

Great pulls!

[@dominicols8027]

Change is okay, previously a holo star indicated a multitude of rarities which is more confusing to someone new imo.

[@isaacrayos5667]

bro where do you get all those snack or whatever boxes from in the background

[@Jearvill]

I don't quite understand, why there isn't a booster box with just packs only? Why would I need like 10++ empty ETB box, dices, counters, guidebook, empty plastic pack holder etc. So much rubbish generated. I'm out of ideas how to reuse or recycle them.

[@johnnyxray9297]

So far ive had far better luck with the boxes than i have with the etbs. Hits to packs ratio has been complete trash on the etb for me.

[@Dwad39]

started really hot! but unfortunately no gold ;/

[@JohnSmith-me4ik]

Wishing you a PSA 10 on that Pikachu!

[@Babaghanoosh6]

You have the best reactions to double bangers why would the new packs be confusing

[@rawcardzcollectibles]

Killer pulls ! 🔥👍

[@jlucche]

Man I can’t find ETB’s anymore….doubt it will get a secondary print run.

[@jordancandler7115]

Target app

[@TheAbeGames]

wow those two Regi boxes was on god mode

[@pokemattstadium]

I have to open more, I have only opened one etb. Has anyone else opened alot?

[@ChantingWolf22]

My buddy got really lucky bought 2 boxes weeks apart and got the gold dialga and palkia, radiant, charizard and the pikachu sr

[@clefdsouza]

Love these Videos so Much! The whole unboxing experience is really something.

[@zeonjonzu2386]

Opened 24 packs and got A gold card and mewtwo vstar from those Regi boxes 🔥

[@MiguelAngel-lr8rb]

Thats some crazy pulls! I opened probably around $120 worth of zenith and got about $10 worth of cards so i stopped 😂

[@theREALmasterofnone]

So you bought 2 etbs at $60 each and quit? 😂

[@MiguelAngel-lr8rb]

@@theREALmasterofnone naw 2 regi boxes and 2 pikachu boxes 😂. I could have just bought the singles i wanted 😂

[@mahammad3421]

It's not that confusing pull thing. Its kinda like Skyridge pull rates

[@laribol3127]

Hey jake! Been waiting for another video!!!! Lessgo!

[@laribol3127]

@TwicebakedJake00 leave me alone scammer

[@ag30126]

Hope they adapt godpack in the next gen

[@PokeP7260]

We love you Jake bless your heart

[@saml2621]

There is an exception to the quality issues.....Diamond and Pearl Great Encounters! Went through 1000s of my old cards a few months ago to looks for cards to grade, and about 75% of all cards that were of PSA 9/10 quality were from Great Encounters.

[@thelightofdarkness]

Crown Zenith is where it's at!

[@squirtletrainerzero5620]

Buying singles for crown zenith is fine for a single card but it’s not a slam dunk strategy. 3 of my 12 etbs didn’t return my purchase price while my mini tins actually returned money cause I pulled two giratinas. I bought a single card Mewtwo vstar and that’s it. Crown zenith is valuebover value!

[@mybootscamewithoutstraps]

I think the new pack design will be great. No more watching us reorganize cards to get the right pull experience. The rare cards won't get damaged at all, unless the pack itself will fully be screwed.

[@focusobjectives]

I collected a full set of Crown by opening packs. I believe I spent roughly 2600$ to pull everything myself for fun. I believe I only have about 300-400$ of extra cards. You are looking at probably 800-1000$ on top of the purchase price to try and manually collect a set these days with no guarantee of actually finishing the set. If I wasn't financially in such a amazing spot in my life I couldn't imagine the common collector having even a slight chance to pull this off. As a 31 year old gen one collector, the Pokémon company is clearly targeting my generation and not kids anymore it seems. I hope everyone gets some great pulls and enjoy crown and scarlet/violet at the end of this month.

[@danmonty88]

I dont think the pick configuration could be any more confusing than Japanese packs

[@JediMasterT]

I couldn't agree more with pokemon packs having too many holo's and the fact that they moved the BEST one to the back of the pack, I 10000% agree with everyone that this is a terrible idea, the front and back cards have been proven to take the most abuse inside the packs. I'm still excited for the set, I think it will be fun to open.

[@remz94]

great video!

[@danielharris3180]

I'm 200 packs in with no golds yet

[@gparkmoney]

What?! Maxmoefoe is back?!

[@robertf4157]

Packs are way better to rip. You get a chance of getting doubles and they make for great trade bait for a card you may not have.

[@Kingslayer.15]

I got my friend a Pikachu Crown Zenith box and he pulls a secret rare Pikachu lmao he hasn’t opened a pack in like 15 years

[@WFO_GG]

More quality control can equal more waste from the company if they have to take somewhat bad prints out of the market. Not against qc.

[@djbullets5850]

Haven’t bought a single item.all these new sets are filled with way too many cards and shitty hits that everyone has now opened andwant to sell.looks like S&v will be the same.

[@Hinchlee]

I opened 5 ETBs and only got 2 alt arts, and I got 5 doubles and 2 triples of hits. The least lucky/worst set I’ve ever opened.

[@danmonty88]

Finally the pikachu!!

[@MrRandygtgod]

Let’s go gold card or Mewtwo.

[@Babaghanoosh6]

I feel like most your concerns aren’t anyone else’s that are normal collectors

[@izzyindacut178]

Did you just get married? or is that the first time I just notice your wedding ring 🤣🤣🤣

[@nicklinn5731]

Remember kids, don’t splurge on singles yet!

[@pikachusbulba9955]

Hi jake :D

[@Babaghanoosh6]

Completely disagree with people being confused with new packs no confusion if you get something out of it instead of nothing

[@junior63]

the best set hands down, if you don't agree stop lying to yourself

[@TheKad00z]

dude for real?! You spent $600 like damn dude too much

[@zoranaleksov1633]

Jake you should be sleeving the hit cards as they come out i would not be comfortable buying cards from you you have to take more care looking after the top cards

[@CardLogia]

600 aint much, already spent over 2000 dollar on it.

[@CardLogia]

do have 6 gold giratinas and many duplicates

[@TeacheReady]

Maxmoefoe is god

[@smgric6853]

The Mewtwo is my chase card. Haven’t seen anyone pull it on KZbin

[@user-pw3vv8oq2w]

poque-mon 😂

[@typicalfuriousgamer4859]

Lol $600 is overspent?

[@cesarjimenez6566]

I took my son to GameStop to get his monthly pack with the 5 dollar reward from the Pro club. He pulled a Lugia V Alt. Art from the one free pack. He was so happy.

[@Penterror]

My first pack of silver tempest had it, nothing beats the thrill of opening packs

[@cesarjimenez6566]

When he first got into Pokemon cards we bought him a Pikachu V box from Target that was on sale for 16 dollars. He pulled a Charizard Vstar Rainbow Rare, after that he was hooked. 😂

[@cafe100mph6]

This guy repeats himself so much, I think I'm having Deja Vu every time

[@wavret9654]

I like what he is saying...

[@eddiehendrickson8789]

Maybe cause you keep going back to his videos too many times 😂

[@soonjini6313]

Feel like with pack openings you can’t say much else. I wish pack people would read comments or QnA when openinh

[@CrediFilms]

I'm pretty sure PTCGradio holds the annoying crown of repeating himself endlessly. That guy knows how to pad a video out beyond necessary.

[@johnflounder9778]

He’s also just wrong about singles vs pulling packs. Any monkey can do the math and look at the atrocious pull rates for some of the cards. Guarantee he’s just going off of personal bias from his pack opening experience.
