Those are all great points about blisters. Never looked at it that way. I like that you are looking at it from a realistic perspective as well. Other channels don't really do that.

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!!

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

Lets go! Appreciate the insight! Love the content love the channel! Happy collecting all!

[@wolfmariann]

This is so new to me, buying packs and selling those unopened for money, what a market. Interesting to hear this!

[@chrisbroussard6667]

love the info and numbers not many people touch on these topics with out making it boring. Fun watch ill try my luck for the give a away ^.^

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! And good luck!!

[@bryanquintard]

Great content! First video and I’ll come back for sure. Thanks guys!

[@Hound_3]

Awesome! Thank you very much. We appreciate your support!

[@sunnybunny50]

I think you're right - especially with the promo value. I think they do take up more space compared to a booster box though which may be a factor

[@Hound_3]

Yeah good point! Thanks for watching!!

[@dontdoit114]

In Europe we've got half booster boxes, quite interesting as well ;) some of them are heavily undervalued as well. Can still get Fusion Strike 18 pack booster boxes for about 75$ - which is ridiculous.

[@Hound_3]

You’re lucky to still have that access. Hope you can pick a few up for your PC. Thanks for watching the channel. We appreciate you!!!

[@paigelucass]

Dude never thought about it that way! I just always want to get as many packs as possible lol. I think it’s good to buy the boosters for the first start of the set collection to get most of the commons, but then it makes total sense to go for the blisters. Excited to see more videos!

[@Hound_3]

Awesome! Thanks for watching , we appreciate you!!

[@leerogers1285]

Yes , totally agree with you it seems that is good advice for the community. The only thing I would ad about the three pack blisters you always seem to get one hitter pack and two non hitter packs. I would recommend the singles the luck has always been a bit better for me.

[@Hound_3]

Good point! That’s one downside. Thanks for watching!!!

[@rippered9467]

love you info and calculation which is cheaper to buy thank you

[@derekk2300]

I Collect 3 pack blisters too, downside is the packs can shift out of place. Most times the can be shaken back into place without much trouble. Also the top cardboard tends to curl overtime too

[@Hound_3]

Yes lol I hate that. lol. Thanks for watching. We appreciate you!

[@chrisheld7608]

Fantastic video. I love the spontaneous opening of product. The insight to the actual breakdown of cost per pack and value of having the blisters is great. Thanks for shedding light on that. Keep up the good advice and fun videos.

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! I appreciate that!!

[@chriswong2978]

Agreed, sometimes the barrier of entry may be too high when the prices go up for the products. Blisters are also smaller and easier to ship.

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@jameswa4013]

Yes but you have to ship 12 x more than you would for a booster box at almost the same price

[@kirithemonke]

you earned yourself a sub, giving back to the community despite how small or how big. Great point as well for the blisters

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching!!

[@cartersnyder5571]

Hey! I just found your channel, and I really like your content! Great advice on the blisters, I will definitley consider that when collecting in the future! Thank you!

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching! Good luck in the giveaway!

[@liquidevil9463]

Congrats on 300 subs. Fav Pokemon would be Jigglypuff.

[@brainthebrian3690]

My Fav pokemon: Darmanitan in Zen mode. And nice pick up from Alex and Joes; old school art over new school art any day of the week.

[@Hound_3]

Yeah I’m starting to dig hard on vintage! Thanks for watching!!

[@marcusdejean]

Really good insight, very well explained. Earned a sub!

[@Hound_3]

I appreciate that. Thank you!

[@w1ldw0lf23]

I'm gonna have to start grabbing some blisters! You brought up some good points!

[@Hound_3]

Good for you! Thanks for watching, we appreciate your support!

[@ThePokeBellz]

Great video man! My daughter and I are new to collecting and have been trying to learn the different ways of connecting that being the most value and liquidity. We don't really have any sealed products, mainly because we open all of them on our KZbin, but it's good to know things like this. You're video was awesome man! Subbed!

[@Hound_3]

I appreciate that! I’m new too and I know how hard it is to keep product sealed. We appreciate your support!

[@vcjoeyramone]

definitely some solid advice about the blisters and fun video too

[@Hound_3]

Thanks, we just started making videos. We appreciate you watching!!

[@oreo9732]

Fusion strike holds a special place in my heart. Its the 1st set i opened up when i got back into pokemon. Just recieved the gengar alt art in psa 10 and ordered some blisters and etbs. Awsome videos! First time here. Will be subbed.

[@Hound_3]

Love that Gengar! Thanks for watching!!

[@nightowl7261]

Boosters box comes with guaranteed hits. Better bang for your bucks during the early phase. More packs for those that just wants to rip. Makes better displays.

[@Hound_3]

Yes and I should have mentioned that. Very good point! Thanks for watching

[@C0nnect10nErr0r]

Only a couple away from 300 congrats!🎉

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! It happened quick. We appreciate your support!

[@ROChilders]

[@Hound_3]

Nice!! Thank you for watching, we appreciate your support!!

[@bababuwielchico6272]

[@JIPgaming201]

[@Hound_3]

Nice! 👍 thanks for watching! We appreciate you!

[@themaoriwolverine]

Great points never thought about it like that thanks for sharing

[@Hound_3]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@craig7716]

yes i have been buying blisters when I can find them cheap, good idea

[@Hound_3]

Me too! I try to buy on prerelease when prices are lower than retail. Thanks for watching!!

[@chiefchimp2789]

Personally, I love 3 pack blisters. I have a nice collection of about 20-25 of them and I truly think these will be much more scarce in the future. People love to rip them and no one holds them because they really focus on holding booster boxes and ETB's. I agree on your points of the benefits too. Back in 2020 I purchased a case of 144 sleeved boosters of Guardians Rising for MSRP. It's the equivalent of 4 booster boxes. The end result was 46 hits including 7 secret rares. 4 booster boxes would have not yielded those results (especially in the sun & moon era where 8 hits was considered a successful booster box). I don't buy booster boxes anymore. I stick with 3 pack blisters and sleeved boosters and might grab a few checklanes if I like the promo. The randomness of the variety almost always ends up with better results.

[@Hound_3]

I think so too!! Thanks for watching! Be sure to enter this weeks giveaway (crimson haze video). We appreciate your support!!

[@raychow4741]

My favorite Pokémon is Mew… Also picked up some 3 pack Espeon blisters. 😊

[@Hound_3]

Nice job!! Thanks for watching

[@Lelandlee1969]

I agree with your point of view. Let’s go White Sox

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching! Points for the White Sox reference!!! We appreciate you!!!

[@jbonetim3759]

While i agree with the benefits of the 3 pack blisters and collect them myself, they don’t sell nearly as frequent or as easy a booster box. Fusion as an example sells a couple boxes a day on TCG vs 1 a month of the 3 Planck blister. Hopefully this Is due to Pokemon center still having them in stock. I like Squirtle.

[@Hound_3]

Yeah I know. I think because they don’t store as nice and take up more room. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!!

[@raychow4741]

Totally agreed about the 3 pack blisters provided that the promo it comes with is worthwhile.

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching!! We appreciate you!!

[@kriskollects]

My favorite Pokemon is Ampharos! I do really like Phanpy, Cubchoo, and Charmander though as well it's super hard to pick one favorite haha

[@Hound_3]

You may want to check out our new video this week. At least the first 3 minutes! Congrats!

[@noypitz6575]

[@Hound_3]

I appreciate that! Thank you : )

[@brainthebrian3690]

Pretty solid points on investing in blisters, If I'm doing this I'ma be flipping all those coins in the trash though.

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching! And welcome. We appreciate your support. Noooo save those coins : )

[@jessestein9528]

Interesting points on the blister argument...

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! We appreciate you watching

[@Hound_3]

I Appreciate that! Thank you!!

[@jimmmm]

thanks for the explanation.

[@Hound_3]

What’s up Jimmm!!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@ripnflipp]

Interesting take on these Blisters.

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching

[@FishingonChesil]

have subbed as I'm feeling blisters are the way to go/thats my collection/investment. While I dont see blisters being the solution in the very long term as interest will only be from the deep pocket collectors who can afford whole booster boxes I do feel for a 2-4 yr hold their a brilliant 'hold' / makes it affordable to buyers etc.

[@Hound_3]

We appreciate your support! Thank you!!!

[@chillaxtv3988]

wow love the new in this set

[@xialee1983]

Good points about blisters

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! We appreciate you watching!!

[@PhantomxDrive]

I like this perspective on the blisters. However, I would like to make a comment on booster boxes. Most of the time, you’re not going to be buying them for MSRP. If you’re ripping outright, price per pack is almost always going to be cheaper than blisters. However, like you said, blisters do allow you to be able to diversify your hits. For investing though, I agree with you on the blisters. Blisters do take up more space than boxes though, so that’s something to consider when investing especially long term.

[@Hound_3]

Yes good point. Early on after a new set is released the booster boxes are a better buy per pack. And any good investment is all about diversification. That extra price per pack early on with the blister could be considered a “convenience charge”. I should have mentioned that in the video! Good catch and thanks for watching! We appreciate you!!!

[@Only-.-animez836]

Nice giveaway new sub my opinion a good point for blisters

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! We appreciate you watching!!

[@Chris.a.G]

3 pack Blisters are harder to sell in that its generally a smaller market (that being said, I collect them :P)

[@Hound_3]

Yeah almost like they get overlooked, I think that’s what keeps the price low. If people catch on to the convenience, they might and should be worth more per pack. JMO. Thanks for watching, we appreciate you!!!

[@POKEMONTAMILTUBE]

Nice hits mate

[@Hound_3]

Thanks. I should have showed all of them instead of the best 3

[@ToyBoxDelight]

nice giveaways love it

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for tuning in!!!

[@KabigonCafe]

I collect blisters as well

[@Hound_3]

They are my favorite product. Thanks for watching!!

[@kongmoua3841]

Great investment. I personally pick up tins and grab loose packs.

[@Hound_3]

I love tins. Especially the pokeballs! Thanks for watching

[@jbonetim3759]

I bought ten of these myself.. anyone have tips on stopping corner curling???

[@Hound_3]

Good question?! Ide like to know too! Thanks for watching!

[@romanomarquez3770]

Ain't those Fusion Strikes consist of E Regulated Cards that will be removed on the upcoming rotation this year?

[@Hound_3]

Yes. I do believe so. Thanks for watching

[@Shiny_Ricardo_Garcia]

I never thought of it like that thats a great point 3 packs are now my favorite product 💯💯💯that espeon promo is sick will buy me 💯💯💯 shout out to holly hot hands lol definitively part of the thrill of the chase i agree rainbows are sick and i miss them lol lets go congrats 200 subs lets go #roadto300

[@Hound_3]

I appreciate that!!

[@israelitepreparedness3283]

Great video!

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@SDCISHERE]

Great video

[@Hound_3]

Thank you!

[@chaviecarpenter9628]

Love it!!!

[@PokeBert-Cards]

Getting a grade 10 on a Promo card is quite hard though as they can damage in the blister. But otherwise good Video

[@Hound_3]

Yeah it’s real tough! But that’s the chase I love. Thanks for watching, we appreciate you!!

[@MarshalltheMarshtompOfficial]

Fusion Strike being out of rotation makes me less interested in buying now. But I'm just here for the good vibes 🤙

[@Hound_3]

We appreciate you watching!

[@mariaray5727]

Booster boxes hold more value usually

[@Hound_3]

Yeah I tried looking for a set where the PPP difference was significant.

[@JustysFrank]

tbh never had good luck with the blisters

[@Hound_3]

Yeah they can be relentless. At least with a booster box you are going to get a few hits! Blisters are high risk/high reward. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!

[@chocomanyaovos2712]

Blisters definetly are better

[@Hound_3]

Thanks for watching!!

[@shyymellow]

love ur content :p

[@Hound_3]

Thank you! We just started and can’t wait to build a great community here! We appreciate your support!

[@mariaray5727]

She’s going ham and you can’t even see her cards lol but good points I guess

[@Hound_3]

lol. Nice observation. : ). Well fix that!!

[@PokeSteve69]

Still not worth the rip. In your example, for example, it was like what 300 in hits out of 50 packs? Idk it’s tough, it really is.

[@PokeSteve69]

That being said, STILL agreee lol

[@Hound_3]

Yeah, it’s almost better to buy the singles in this set. The hit rates are some of the hardest! Thanks for watching!!!

[@crumplehornedsnorcack]

What’s your experience with selling these 3 pack blisters, I heard you say It’s easy to buy, it’s easy to sell. The liquidity on sealed 3 pack blisters for me is absolutely horrendous. They sell, but if part of you’re reasoning is being able to sell a portion, it’s seems noteworthy to point out how poorly they sell compared to the liquidity of a booster box. Great video though, appreciate the content.

[@Hound_3]

Yes good point by comparison. They only become hot after the set is no longer available. Until then people ignore them. But I do very well, easy double my investment. Everytime. I just live the cheaper price points

[@ExcaliburTTP]

Buy whatever. PKMN cards ain’t no investment

[@Hound_3]

More like gambling.

[@gerarddowd318]

So you’re over leveraged on Triple blisters and you’re trying to exit your position! You said it yourself they’re plentiful so it’s not going to be valuable anytime soon. I havnt open a lot but I’m sure I’m right man you’re funny. 😂

[@Hound_3]

Oh I am definitely not exiting anytime soon. I’m long hauling it, however I love the option to sell smaller lots to retain the remainder sealed for the future. I should have been more clear in the video. I appreciate you watching.

[@OGtrainerRaul]

Bro I been doing this forever why you talking 😂

[@Hound_3]

Nice!

[@doitallbros5123]

hi love the videos you deserve more subbs this channel is great I think you guys can make it big one day everyone has to start some where cant wait to see you guys with 1k subbs I know you will get there :)

@@Hound_3The Pokemon community is the best community trust me you have a very good format of videos that people love so much I bet all my money that you will have 1k subs by the end of the year as long as you put in the work and have a consistent upload schedule you will make it trust the community and keep doing the best you can stay safe out there love you man
