i love how honest and calm you are! no screaming with loud dub music killing my soul. And i agree the prices are insane now, compared to what they were years ago, I got the box and yeah i got two nice looking cards the promo and all that but it was £47 pounds only to get quads of Quilfish and mid art styles. Maybe I just got a bad box, I'll be looking out for your reviews in the future tho!
This reminds me of diamond and pearl era, everything is going to be available and cheap. Alot of people that jumped in the hobby during swsh will exit because there wont be any short term money.
As an Australian I'd be stoked if we only had to pay 50USD for a ETB ... after conversion our prices come out around 70-80USD ... you guys are lucky. Trust me.
The artwork in this set is pretty awesome and hopefully collectors start to gravitate to this set more than the Base Scarlet and Violet set. "151" is going to be epic!!
It’s unfortunate that the value of a set is a determined on nostalgia. Pokémon has to make sets centered around generations old legendaries to sell. Who knows maybe todays kids will cherish scarlet and violet just as we cherish old sets.
I'm always gonna buy ETB of new sets from now on they don't always have a good pull ratio, but their promos are so pretty now, and together with a Booster box its some nice time this etb has an adorable promo
Just like Base, I'll grab some 3 pack blisters if I can find them and maybe the odd pack here and there, but I'll take your advice and wait for some big sales down the road. I'm sure places like Costco will be having insane bundles available.
The price increase for the Scarlet and Violet series of cards is ridiculous. Basically have raised prices by 10 - 25 percent on packs. All you really get for that extra money spent is a whole lotta reverse HOLOS and a bundle of regular HOLOS..... It's so not worth the additional money. I have money and I will say this, 5 dollars plus tax for one booster pack of cards is absolutely ridiculous.
This set is a tough sell for me. Really nice art, just like the last subset, but just no value whatsoever. I love to get the art when possible, but I need some return on investment. That’s what collecting is about at its roots after all. I’m thinking I’ll buy an etb, then just get the singles.
3:45 I'm really looking forward to if the Art Rares will go the same path as the Trainer Galleries. I feel like they are way rarer and there's multiple over 5$ which u dont see for the Trainer Galleries
What about the pokemon center etbs Jake? Do you think those will fire sale or retain value as they're already sold out on the pokemon center. Im about to order 4 of the obsidian flame pc etbs before they sell out
Skipping this set like I did base S&V. I don't care for trainer cards and I still don't see a big chase card. I'll see what Obsidian Flames does! Also, I can't believe the amount of people that didn't get the sarcasm in the Sudo card.
I agree. It's retarded to have a 10 year old "waifu" as the best card in a set.. again. Anyways I guess it makes sense since all the new pokemon are trash to most people deep down.
@@amyspahr849 In my opinion, I'm kinda glad when the big chases in sets are trainers, because then that makes some of the Pokemon chases cheaper and easier to obtain.
Jake, I wish I could catch you at the event you will be at in 2 weeks, but its too big of a jump for me. Hope your fans catch you and the event is a blast!
Retailers were allocated 50% of their preorders and you think this is going down in price? Not enough have been printed and it's a solid set. The price will go up
Can't wait until my Pokemon Center exclusive ones come, and very excited for this set. My main chase card is the Meowscarada EX SIR since Sprigatito is my most favorite gen 9 starter. And I need the full evolution line lol! Might even save some money and buy a booster box or two!
I love SV1 and SV2 I will 100% complete both sets and I will hard-skip SV3 and SV3.5, I already know I won't be able to complete them with all the "investors" banking on them
Y’all really spoiled man, 9 packs, sleeves, dice and status coins, amazing promo card, holo in every pack, and two reverse cards in every pack y’all need to look at this as a deal and not as a collector. The alt art cards are amazing in this set and if you can get one per ETB that’s a win. This ETB is definitely worth the $50 despite the resale value of the set dropping. Just appreciate the product as a whole bro.
so basically what im hearing is that most ppl would rather make money off cards than just open then bc of the hobby in itself. its sad knowing where ppl stand concerning cards.
Pokemon collecting isn't a free hobby, so the cost of each product and the value it brings does matter. Especially when many collectors are already struggling with basic necessities.
No disrespect to TBJ because he is honestly the only poketuber i can stand anymore. But that aside. After 7 years of watching any poketuber who has over 10 k subs all say the same thing. How its an awesome set. Yet down rhe line you will hear the truth. Think about it this way. Find me one person who opened steam siege when it came out talking bad about it. Thats because you wont. After a few months maybe a year then they change their minds. They are influencers for a reason. They manipulate the market.
I simply don't care at all about Scarlet and Violet as a whole. I think it's partly a mix of not picking up the games due to ethical reasons related to the quality of the game and from burnout on trying to keep up with all these sets that just come out too fast for my liking .
Jake I think you’re a little confused. It’s not an empty street there’s actually a sudowoodo there. It’s actually a funny mistake to make, he was mistaken for a tree in gold and silver. Hope this helps clear things up.
i love how honest and calm you are! no screaming with loud dub music killing my soul.

Love how no one gets the joke that it’s not an empty street. He knows Sudowoodo is on the left
Best card of the set by far
I only see trees there...
I like to think the stairs is missingno. From red version blue version
The sidewalk pokemon
Sudowoodo be goofy as hell walking next to the sidewalk💀
Bro, got to grade that error card! Cant believe they forgot to print the pokemon on it! Would have been cool to see a sudowoodo. Maybe next time...
I really like the full arts in this set, the background designs are so cool.
so glad they're doing promo cards with etbs now, was always that thing missing from most etbs that would make it worth to me
I agree. At least it is a guaranteed great card. It would help us to not be as sad we get a bad etb with no hits.
In UK on Amazon, the price is £35, which is around 40$, I'd say its worth it
Let's be real, I have not seen one video of someone pulling the magikarp, underrated chase
"Just an empty street, no Pokemon in sight" had me giggle
This reminds me of diamond and pearl era, everything is going to be available and cheap. Alot of people that jumped in the hobby during swsh will exit because there wont be any short term money.
now people look for it
As an Australian I'd be stoked if we only had to pay 50USD for a ETB ... after conversion our prices come out around 70-80USD ... you guys are lucky. Trust me.
Bruv i literally just bought one for $79 AUD
Sudowoodo is just the John Cena of Pokémon
The artwork in this set is pretty awesome and hopefully collectors start to gravitate to this set more than the Base Scarlet and Violet set. "151" is going to be epic!!
what is "151" ?
It’s unfortunate that the value of a set is a determined on nostalgia. Pokémon has to make sets centered around generations old legendaries to sell. Who knows maybe todays kids will cherish scarlet and violet just as we cherish old sets.
Nice pulls Jake! I love the product reviews you do! 😊
I'm always gonna buy ETB of new sets from now on
they don't always have a good pull ratio, but their promos are so pretty now, and together with a Booster box its some nice time
this etb has an adorable promo
I’m sad I missed out the Pokémon center exclusive ETBs :/
Would love to see a video on your thoughts on the obsidian flames set coming out in a few months
How come in Europe we pay like 60 euro per elite trainer box. And it never goes into sale.
Tyranitar and magikarp are lit cards i dont know why you dont mention them!
Honestly I just want the promo. The set looks cool though.
Love the cards in this set! I'm excited to get some of these.
That sudowoodo is nice! ❤️🔥
How cute is that Pikachu promo!
My local card shop has the ETBs for $38.99 so I’m definitely gonna take advantage
Just like Base, I'll grab some 3 pack blisters if I can find them and maybe the odd pack here and there, but I'll take your advice and wait for some big sales down the road. I'm sure places like Costco will be having insane bundles available.
Sudowoodo is my chase 😭. my fav pokémon!
Pull rates looking tougher with Paldea Evolved.
Yep only got 1 basic card from 9 packs in the etb 🤣

Nice one Jake. Looking to pick one up for myself when prices drop a bit
It’s honestly a breath of fresh air not getting the same “fan favorite” Pokémon card. Idk just my opinion, getting something new.
Pokemon now gains Invisibility skill or Mirror skill.
Here in Slovakia the ETBs normally cost like 50€.
3:45 I'm really looking forward to if the Art Rares will go the same path as the Trainer Galleries. I feel like they are way rarer and there's multiple over 5$ which u dont see for the Trainer Galleries
Haven't seen any crazy exciting openings of PE, but cheap product isn't a bad thing. Hopefully PCI is just warming up.
What about the pokemon center etbs Jake? Do you think those will fire sale or retain value as they're already sold out on the pokemon center.
Im about to order 4 of the obsidian flame pc etbs before they sell out
That Pikachu Promo is Awesome!
Do you think Pokémon Center will restock their exclusive ones of this set?

Yeah... and then one of the cards will jump in orice in a few years, and you'll be all like, "omg best set ever so underrated!"
@@gigiizzy5651 No, I don't get consumed with FOMO and spend money just to be in the latest set. I have other collecting goals.

It IS $36 now, so cheap!
Good arts in SV sets so far and great for singles collecting!
So I pre ordered two booster boxes from this set. I'm wondering if I should get one sv base set and one paldea evolved insteand. One of each
I thought street was missingno from red version blue version. 😂
Love your info Man! Keep it real!
Retailers were allocated 50% of their preorders and you think this is going down in price? Not enough have been printed and it's a solid set. The price will go up

Might open one etb and keep one closed
Every time he shows the value of something I think my fridge is open
I’m seeing prices at 40-42 for ETB’s and 110 -115 for boosters. I don’t think LCS care about this one and just want to get rid of it
its 33€ over here, no way I would pay 50€ for 9 Booster and a bad Promo
Picked mine up in the uk for £38 pounds which is good for here
Hate how these sets are judged by how many of the 151 or “fan favorite” pokemon there are inside…
I love SV1 and SV2
I will 100% complete both sets
and I will hard-skip SV3 and SV3.5, I already know I won't be able to complete them with all the "investors" banking on them
Doubt it'll be as bad as you think
Scarlet & violet base was going for the same price
"no nostalgia, only scarlet/violet pokemon" *only pulls older pokemon*
I’m completely over buying packs , buying the singles I want make me and my bank account much happier
I liked it when he said Pocker-Man cards
The empty street is so nice.
I’ll just buy the promo, waiting on 151!
I’ll wait for that card to be 1$

I bought one like rn I'm in toy r us... I hope I pull smt

@@TwicebakedJake from one poketuber to another, i say that respectfuly👍
If they go for less than 30 the hobby is dead this means they sell about 10 dollar below distribution pricing
Is not empty street but in Pokémon into it
3:25 min
Love the card colors it’s Japanese
They going for $60 usd pokemon center. $90 aud where i am. Not worth the money just buy singles
great video!
spoilers: Not at the price
Is this set out already?????
Jake, like many Pokemon content creators, gets these boxes before they release
dang id say thats on the lower end of the etb pulls def not worth the 50
Important question: When will Jake open Obsidian Flames from Target? 😂😂
They accidently release it early? Classic target
maus scarada?
Looking at the comments it seems like people only “invest” in Pokémon cards and don’t even like the sets.
Pretty pathetic honestly.
I feel like you change your mind a lot in just watching acouple of your videos. Also highly doubt it'll be $30 or less
Hahahaa love the Sudowoodo card
Lol nostalgics😂😂😂 i love scarlet and violet
I don’t think etb’s are worth more than 40 if we are going to be honest.
Yes too expensive, I sniped 2 Pokémon center version to keep sealed that’s it. If u want pull just get booster boxes
We need a new sub-set!!!!!!!!
I opened an etb for this set and never want to get one again lol. Two hits. Normal ex and full art ex of that dumb turtle
I got them for 37
Nope not from a value standpoint but the 40 dollar etbs weren't either

He''s just saying he likes the set. It's not that deep.
Hey jake is not a empty street you can see Sudowoodo on the left of the card buddy
Its not an empty street!!
Sudo is hiding on the left.
He knows, he was being sarcastic. It was a joke.
It's definitely an empty street
I simply don't care at all about Scarlet and Violet as a whole.
I think it's partly a mix of not picking up the games due to ethical reasons related to the quality of the game and from burnout on trying to keep up with all these sets that just come out too fast for my liking .
cool
S&V is garbage, not a single product I like so far
Bro, there is only two sets so far. Give it some time and we will see some cool sets in the future.
Totally aggree
Its worth 60 easy
Waste of money no hits lol im hot game stop had em for 60
You can find it for $40…
Where lol
Not a bad set but not a great set. Pretty mediocre...
Yeah Paldea evolved is an unbalanced set.
Jake I think you’re a little confused. It’s not an empty street there’s actually a sudowoodo there. It’s actually a funny mistake to make, he was mistaken for a tree in gold and silver. Hope this helps clear things up.
He knows this.
Yes it is
Trash set
NEVER BUYING FROM GAME STOP 😭 I paid 60
The way you open packs really annoy me. Idk why
