Why Is Moonbreon RISING AGAIN?

[@phillips.collectibles]

Do you think Moonbreon is worth the price? (Both Emojis awarded )

[@drr1zzy]

@@phillips.collectibles I think it’s a very opinion based thing, I’d never buy it for near that much, but if I pulled it I’d be happy. Whereas the leafeon or sylveon I would happily buy

[@Amphitruo_mas_Anphitruo]

If I’m being honest, there are other cards that should have gotten up to the price that Moonbreon is right now, such as any Zeraora card ever (I’m am not biased at all). But jokes aside, the card deserves all the hype and value.

[@CalledOutAgain]

@@phillips.collectibles meh it's a gorgeous card and is a loveable character. I think if it shows alot of activity in the tcg perhaps. But if not, the amount of PSA 10's have caused a bit of inflation. It's no go for me tbh

[@peterrubenz6723]

@@phillips.collectibles for that many psa 10s no, but thinking back to the Covid Bull market hype, yes

[@flarbow233]

i do think so, i believe that the pokemon its self is an eeveelution and the most popular one at that. on top of that the artwork is outright insane it feels like a modern day masterpiece and with its rarity financially acts like one as well. you also brought up good points about when it was released and the importance of the time period. truly, this card deserves to be worth $3,000 or more. i mean look at one piece some cards are worth upwards of 4k

[@joelh90]

Never regret buying a mint umbreon for £170 at the start, grading it, got a 10, sold it for £1000 bought another copy for £400 later on again mint. I realised i loved it in my binder. Ill keep this card forever

[@joesmith-hm6cr]

Good stuff man I loaded up with sealed evolving skies . Picked up 24 booster boxes plus 100s of loose packs . Just wondering when it’s time to load them off

[@aaronbf20]

Its such a unique art and with the pull rate and no reprint, this card is now set to print money for those that have it.

[@georgeallen4007]

Evolving skies had a reprint that’s why there’s 13k psa 10 umbreons and a ton of booster boxes everywhere

[@jijowajaknxanma3439]

Why not just print it out

[@sammcmicking5487]

I don't think we will ever see a card with this high of a pop report become so valuable and then continue increasing in value ever again. It is truly in a league of its own.

[@pokeflips_]

Moonbreon will always be fire so long as no reprints occur‼️🔥💥💯

[@georgeallen4007]

The reprint already happened 😂 that’s why there’s 13k psa 10 umbreons and tons of evolving skies booster boxes everywhere

[@ikilldabs1372]

Lmao right??

[@PokiDonnie]

13k? I thought it was like 2k psa 10s? I have been bamboozled 😂 ​@@georgeallen4007

[@ShayleeYT]

Now moonbreon is $1,368.86!!?! 🤯

[@Rui-XIV]

I was unfortunately out of the hobby when Evolving Skies was happening, never had the chance to try pull the Moonbreon and the packs are way out of my price range now. Thank you for these detailed videos showing me another side to the hobby 😊

[@gwan007]

Umbreon is probably the best eveeloution out of all 8 so that’s why the price is rising so high.

[@essentialkilo2162]

I think the moonbreon set the standard for alt arts. It’s not just the artwork, it’s also the eveelution line, the chase, and a cultural shift as you stated in the video. Either way, it’s a symbol for the community and it’s an iconic card, hence the price

[@therealsweetnova3246]

I left the Pokemon scene after Evolving Skies dropped.. I vividly remember choosing not to purchase that set when I saw it on shelves 😭😂 the umbreon back then was great but now it’s even better, so cool to see as a Pokemon fan who has returned just recently

[@jordanthorn6228]

i took a gamble buying psa 10 moonbreon at 1100 this card is why myself and a lot of other people got back into the tcg and on top of that it’s absolutely beautiful

[@hishamarafat7217]

Just as base set Charizard is the number 1 card in vintage Pokémon, just as this Moonbreon will become/becoming just THAT for the 2020s onward. Pokémon in 2010 to 2020, wasn't as hyped as it was before or after those years. Your pandemic point is perfect, because this card is the resurgence of Pokémon, and the price steadily climbing is due to the fact collectors need to feel a sense of security (card wise) that there is that "holy" card we all aspire to have. That grail card is what keeps the hobby going for that specific time period, and collectors of today need a card to lean on just as vintage collectors grew up relying and leaning on the base set Charizard. It is the backbone. Beautiful term for it.

[@phillips.collectibles]

Absolutely! The Moonbreon is shaping to be a key player in the current Pokémon landscape. It's fascinating to see how the hobby evolves and how certain cards become the backbone of collectors. Appreciate your insights, as always!

[@Amphitruo_mas_Anphitruo]

Video 7 of commenting on every Phillips Collectibles video until he hits the deserved 100k subscribers: That is a hell of a card, and undeniably one of the greatest Pokémon cards ever, since it is the greatest of the SWSH era. It has arguably the best and most original artwork of the era. I also feel that the story behind it is very wholesome, meaning like I think the way a VMax Umbreon got on top of that building, and what adventures it went through to get there is cool. Anyway, great video as always. Good day for y’all and for Phil!

[@ShrimplyWiggly]

I've been opening a few Evolving Skies every couple days when I can find the few packs that are still being sold in specific tins here in the US. No luck so far obviously but here's to hoping I see the moonbreon some day. Thanks for the great content!

[@cortster12]

The closest I got to Moonbreon was pulling the rayquaza alt art vmax.

[@wrsaez]

I pulled a golurk

[@kristybui9997]

Just got back into collecting Pokémon and man it’s been a learning curve. Thank you for the detailed videos

[@JamesHog93]

Got into Pokemon (again) less than a month ago. Yesterday my wife came back with a SV pack she bought for me, and we decided to open it together.... something magical happened... We found THE Terapagos EX. A new collector was born.

[@JamesHog93]

@@monkey39128 there are some serious good cards in there!! i didnt catch 151 train in time, but oh boy... SV set has some serious art in there!

[@TylerSL92]

Like any market, I feel like this card will crash, level out, then slowly rise over years

[@phillips.collectibles]

Me too. Its way too expensive.

[@davincahyadi6409]

it will, and the japanese eevee heroes will rise. Vice Versa. The pop of umbreon english is 13k while the japanese only 6k i think.

[@julius7948]

[@JustJessD]

Just started collecting again and im so glad I stumbled across your channel. It’s so refreshing to watch and hear a fellow aussie! love the content it’s been super helpful and insightful :)

[@RandomStuff3G]

Seems to me that there's a few of things at play here: 1 - Umbreon isn't usually a chase card (like how you typically get Charizards etc.) And the art plus time of release makes it significant. 2 - It's a card with demand just for the pure love of Umbreon. 3 - The pop showing over 13k PSA 10s could also mean that demand is increasing with people looking to get the card graded and move to sell it to make a quick buck. The thing about all three of these though, is I think it will be more of a short term increase before steadily falling off (3-6 months or 1 year tops). There's going to be some very good sets being released and if we're getting another team rocket set or a trainer set, I think the new hype and new chase cards there will takeover in the same way 151 did just because of the pure nostalgia associated to it. Would be keen to see what you guys think of this^

[@ARCHITETTURAITALIA1]

I LOVE MILOTIC! Now that I got your attention I want to thank you for the content you make. I follow you just since few months but I watched many of your videos.

I'm sure a ton of people are waiting for its downfall to enjoy its majestic artwork. God bless and i look forward to your next upload!

[@MtZaba]

Imo the card is subconsciously very aesthetically pleasing. The greens, blues, yellow, purple, black all blend so well. The composition also works very well and your eye has a clear path to look at the card from top to bottom. That mixed with it being an evee, it’s from arguably the best/most desired set of sword and shield add to the uniqueness

[@D4rkKnit3]

As always, great content! I've always felt like the Moonbreon is the standard for every collection. I personally have never had it but it's always felt that unless you want your collection to be considered top tier. You at least need 1 copy of it whether Raw or Graded. If I would have followed your tips from your other videos; maybe I would've been able to buy it raw before it exploded again LOL.

[@DarthJF]

I'm new to collecting pokemon cards and your videos have given me some much needed perspective on how to approach the whole thing. I don't really expect to ever resell or profit from my collection, but I do want to build it getting the best possible value for my money. This kind of information that helps you understand the market and what is driving prices up or down is really invaluable.

[@Whoareyoucalling]

This shit becoming rigged like fanduel. No fucking way a 3 year old card that had 3 reprints is worth more raw than 1st edition neo genesis Lugia.

[@cortster12]

Umbreon is the most popular eeveelution, the art is gorgeous, it's very hard to pull, and Evolving Skies has MULTIPLE other eeveelution alt arts. Of course it's getting expensive!

[@JUSTICE45]

The card is undeniably gorgeous with its textured moon pattern, that umbreon standing out larger than life, and alluring colours. It simply stands out from all the chase cards in the sword and shield era. Given its popularity with both older and younger generation collectors, it wouldn’t surprise me this card continues to have high demand and be highly sought after staple collector item like base set zard, even though it has a relatively high pop. You have to remember, base set zard continues to be very popular and it has had several reprints and different versions as a card, whereas the umbreon vmax is just one version and doesn’t benefit from having limited edition or the other various versions that base set zard has, and it still commands a crazy premium
