The Scarlet and Violet Generation of Pokemon Cards brought some huge changes to the Pokemon TCG. New Rarities were introduced causing Pokemon Card Collectors to frenzy about what pull rates would look like in order to rip their favorite new Pokemon Card Art. However, after the release of Scarlet & Violet Base, many Pokemon Card Fans were pleasantly surprised to see Pokemon Card Pull Rates being substantially more attractive than the Sword & Shield Era.
Now that we are half way through the Scarlet & Violet Block, many Pokemon Card Fans have stopped paying attention to the Sword & Shield era and started focusing more on buying Special Illustration Rares and Illustration Rares. Over the past month, a ton of attention has been paid to various Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards resulting in tons of copies being bought up. In today's video, we look at the giant increases that these Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards have been going through. Are these natural growth numbers, or are things being manipulated? Let's talk about it!

I think people sleeping on any S&V set right now because it ain't Sword and Shield are gonna regret not chasing these IRs. They're beautiful cards and I think they'll be looked back upon fondly and have high desirability for years to come. There's pretty much mons from every generation and all tastes. What's not to like?
alot of collectors like to collect things that are rare... it feels good to have thing that others dont etc i guess? those irs in swsh and future will have over 20000 psa10 pops in the future sealed included, its extremly common and u hardly will regret not having something that u can find literally everywhere.
Honestly, surprised it took this long; all of these card have beautiful art work. Shame it's for profit and not for how wonderful these cards are.
I like seeing attention to the SV era because I am a fan of the artwork and sets. A lot of these cards do demand an increase in price considering pull rates and artwork. I don’t think they should all be this high. I do think a lot of these artworks should be around the $10 range or higher. I’ve opened a lot of packs for very sets and a lot of times I don’t even pull an illustration.
Anyone notice the sreelix graph looks like the card lol
Buyouts, panic, fomo, everyone looks for something else, then rinse repeat. Then the previous buyout item corrects and come back down/stabilizes.
Tag teams, then alt arts, now illustration rares. I say the discontinued rainbow rares are next.
Agree with the rainbows. Grab the ones you like while they’re cheap. You’ve likely only missed the zards, most others are within reach.
rainbows suck tho xd
thing is rainbows are bland, alt arts, illustration rares, sirs and tag teams all have something in common: great illustration work
I agree. Hold on to those rainbows.
They did it with the M Pokemon. I was grabbing them as I came across them and not all were expensive, but now, the hype from youtubers has made the prices go up.
That’s one thing I never really understood was the ‘Listing Amount’. In order for buyouts or cornering the market to work you need to wipe supply. How do multiple cards only have 20-30 total listings when Pokémon has been printing like crazy and packs are being ripped like crazy?
Because most people don't sell on tcg.
Thanks for the info! I’m trying to be patient with the last 3 cards I need for my 151 complete set so I appreciate the reminder that it’s not a race and I don’t have to FOMO when I see prices skyrocket.
I would like to hear a video on comparisons from old tournament rules/data/winnings compared to the new changes to get an idea on if it seems worth going to any tournament in the future
That Metagross graded would make a cool Christmas ornament lol
How do you manage lighting for both indoor and outdoor shots in a video?
Has to be buyouts for those Pokemon that are not the big favorites to be going up like that
Got a local shop, they put out new illustration rares weekly for $1.
I’ve been picking them up, around $20 a week.
Let’s hear your thoughts on the competitive changes!
It’s probably grading companies looking to pregrade and sell the tens in their vending machines, offloading all the rest into the open market at higher price due to them buying it out
Love S&V.
It's the era we started with and it'll always have a special place in my heart.
I'm really curious about something, Danny talks about price increases in a similar fashion to how someone may speak about crypto, stocks, gold, etc. i.e. "massive increase" ($8 to $13). This type of reaction only makes sense if you are buying these bulk though, is that what people do? Like If you have one card it doesn't mean much but if person buys like 100 cards then it's a different story.
I look at in a way of an entire collection. If you are constantly navigating the market and adding to your collection at the lowest possible price point, your collection gains value. So you are correct, but rather than focusing on it as a single card, think of it more as an entire collection of cards of different variety.
@@DannyPhantump Ahhh I see what you are saying, thanks for the reply! You're killing it man.
yea not massive in absolute term, only percentage, framing it that way impresses the viewers more
Honestly at this point, I'm more pissed I didn't buy Eevee opening weekend. Almost considering just buying the Japanese rather than English for the difference in cost.
The Japanese one is absolutely gorgeous and way more affordable. I think that is also a good point to call out on your part is that the Japanese singles can be had so much cheaper
They had a set of all thr art rares from the Japanese set for $28 before the set released in english idk if it's gone up since but I kind of wish I'd of gotten it.
@@DannyPhantump I fully understand that collectability between English vs Japanese will warrant some differences in prices. But it's kinda wild to me that the Japanese you can buy and have it shipped for $20 tops, when the English is twice that on a rough average.
Collection dollars just don't seem to go as far as they used to these days. Or maybe I'm just running out of affordable chase cards. 😅
Just switch to Japanese period. It's much cheaper for anything besides trainers and certain SIRs.
Do you think part of these artificial fluctuations in card prices have to do with events like card party where there will be a huge movement in cards so the price is adjusted accordingly beforehand?
Greed+fomo+low pull rates+market manipulation=current buyouts
“Market manipulation” -every complainer that’s too late to buy the cards they genuinely love in the hobby. 😂💸
All true. I’d add great artwork, recognizing they are under valued compared to the low pull rates you mentioned.
I think everything is just expensive now a days and people accept it.. so once prices go up on a card no one questions it anymore
@@katielowenhow can you be a subscriber or even comment on this channel with such weird negative vibes .. go away please ur not wanted here
@@katielowen while you are not wrong, market manipulation is definitely at play given inorganic price shooting up
That Yveltal was just undervalued af, the art is stunning for so many reasons...
the jump in magicarp's price is definitly a coordinated buyout that was successful
When a new “trend “ in the market happens I never peruse it like everyone else . I wait till it dies out and grab em at a cheaper price . Trends go into rotation so does fomo
Great research, as usual, Danny. Thanks for putting all the time and energy into these videos. You present a great snapshot in time and help us decide where to spend our collecting dollars.
Side note: Reading TCG Player at-a-glance
Take the word “from” and replace it with “as low as”.
Example :
15 listings “from”
=
15 listings “as low as”
Which means the lowest price you can buy this card at has 15 listings
It would help if they put:
15 of “X” listings as low as “price”
or something like
The total number of listings is "X" and you can buy 15 of these listings as low as "Y"
Why they don’t. Who knows? It would be easier at a glance to see how many active listings of any card are available.
I appreciate the information as always 🙏
Would love to hear your thoughts on competitive.
Personally I think people are seeing the newer SV sets and being disappointed with the SIRs and full art trainers and such, and the normal Illustration Rares are actually being looked at with some rose tinted glasses
That Infernape is a beautiful card. I need a page of those.
For me personally, the best SV sets this far:
1. 151 (Srsly, OG set, who doesnt like? Well unless terastal eevee comes into fruition)
2. Paldean Fates (Good to rip, if only there were more Illustration rares for the set)
3. Paldea Evolve (Considerable large set, and easier pull rate per booster box)
Worst set thus far:
1. Obsidian Flames (If only the set size was as large as paldea evolve)
2. Base set (The SIRs are not like SIRs)
During the summer price decreases can happen. But for sure it feels artificial how sudden the price change can happen. And also the fact that for popular alt arts there would be so few available makes no sense.
Feels like a shift from alt arts to something else. So go away in May and be back in September might be a thing too?
They are the best looking ones.. but te mainly people trying to control the market again
I hate what Pokémon did, top 128? I don’t know that they’re thinking, it’s going to push a lot of people away from the game. Changed the best of 6 results for leagues and cups to 4 now. They’re buggin, hopefully the change their mind
thank you for making videos and helping us out
I'm so glad i have a day job and this is just a fun hobby for me
Love that ninetails is doing good. Really love that card.
i think the Charizard ex Obsidian Flames Special Illustration Rare is cheap cheap.. ppl are sleeping on that card 40 bucks.. i like trading for that card and keeping a few
ralts upward trending due to gardy decks. it's not sus when it's meta.
Yea i wanted that red gyarados full art and it was about 30, now its past 50 smh
hey danny idk why but lugia ex from plasma storm number 134 went from 142$ to 117$ over night and idk why 🤔
Just too many things to collect, not concern for the long term. S&V has very good cards, the magikarp was a chase of mine
Got back in the hobby in December after 20 years. Sealed scalpers and single buyers have made this hobby only about money and it’s the streamers who fake there pulls that feed into this. People, go back to master set building quit with the “ohhhh a pull! Awh it’s only another 1$ card” if that’s your reaction when opening packs then your heads in a wayyyy wrong place.
This is why I collect Japanese. They're so much cheaper, it's insane. And they look better. No Illustration Rare should cost more than 40 bucks period, I don't care how cool the Eevee and Groudon look.
I LOVE RALTS! He deserves a higher market price 😂❤
*PREACH, I AGREE*
the dama buy out is real he shows how easy it is to jack up the prices talking about the ninetails
Who would’ve guessed🤔
Great info Danny!!!😊
Thanks Danny!
Opening paradox rift this weekend! Wish me luck fam clan!
I learned from the best, I don't fomo I wait and pounce
Infernapes current price is 6.48, not 14.91, he didn’t change it from Yveltal
That Metagross card could be related to the Glaceon V Alt.
How is it related? honest question. I know a good man about Pokemon but confused on that one
@@elizabethsturgill7708 Just look and see. They're twinsies. You know it too.
I hope we can trade Pokemom cards to the marauders like booze when the world collapses. 🤷♂️
Be patient, prices will correct themselves
Magikarp is worth more than the 1st edition??? 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Man some confusing stuff!
Temporal and Masquerade both have horrible pull rates, I am done buying any of those product but will buy singles for playing not collecting.
when money moves out of one area in the hobby it moves into another area. when it moved out of vintage in 2021 it moved into sword and shield alt arts, when it moved out of sword and shield alt arts it moved into tag teams, when it moved out of tag teams it moved into japanese, when it moved out of japanese it moved back into sword and shield alt arts, now its moving out of sword and shield alt arts and its looking like its starting to move into scarlet and violet. that said i think its a little to soon for scarlet and violet to spike since most sets are still readily available so i would not be suprised if we start seeing fluctuations somewhere else soon. given the current state of the modern market both in america and japane my guess would be a move back into vintage.
oh and if you buy that magikarp for anything above 40$ your an idiot. its not a 60$ card, not an 80$ card, not 100$ card, and def not a 150$ card. irs like that magikarp have a consistent record of being 20-40$ cards. the tyranitar, raichu, groudon, gastly, and evee which are the most similar to that magikarp in terms of desirability and pull rates are all 20-40$ cards. and yes even the magikarp was a 20-40$ card before it started skyrocketing because of market manipulation and people who are giving into fomo.
Love ur content great advice
😲 😱 OMG
Pretty crazy that buyout groups are still doing this and able to artificially keep prices at 75% above what they otherwise would be. In some cases, more like 90% higher. Wouldn't touch modern cards with a 10-foot pole, personally. These newer sets are decent, but they're priced as if they're 15 years old and wildly scarce, and nothing could be less true, meaning prices WILL fall a ton before long.
Lmao i’ve made so much money buying and selling modern cards. This hobby is amazing 🥰
Nice
Fomo for a lot of people is hard to resist
Just save all your money until Christmas and go ham😂
Most of the competitive stuff is fine. I think people are overreacting. As the game grows world's will be harder to get into. I would have liked to have seen Oceania, latam, and the Middle East not get shafted. I also think they should expand regionals, many players I think just want to play in these types of tournaments. If regionals are special less players would be upset about chasing worlds. 3 larger tournaments get the "feel" of making them special but really hurt those that can't travel far for whatever reason. Sometimes you need to, but I hate to see people being shut out.
I really agree with this. Locals are amazing and can really help establish friendships and a passion for the game. Regionals hit different and I think they are something everyone should experience.
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux
Please go over the changes
Artificial price increase. I'm waiting
Sure fomo. Sure manipulation.
Also? This era of extraordinarily beautiful art will be remembered.
SV Era has some absolute bangers
@@DannyPhantump TRUE THAT!
so SWSH chase cards are so unobtainable everyone is buying cheaper SV ARs/SARs......nice....
just a bunch of poketubers hyping ppl and creating FOMO
Infernape 🔥🔥🔥
People steady yell fomo as they miss out in real time you played yourself 🎉
Does the phantom ever win tournaments?
Not good enough. Maybe one day!
Phanny Phriday!
Ok... I'm old and stupid, but what does fomo stand for?
Fear of missing out
@@findingeevee I guess I'm always fomo-ing then!🤣
Thanks! 🙏
❤
Exorbitant 👍 you’re good
Lmao thanks fam
@@DannyPhantump Yw! That’s what we’re here for…great content and moral support!! 👍
I'm just glad I don't even like most of those cards lol, thank goodness.
I bought in Japanese for 4$ a card.
👍🏽
I’m actually curious if it’s GameStop. Think about it they are now selling graded cards why wouldn’t they buy raw and grade to sell them they have mega cash from selling stock and need a new direction
We are buying art, not cards, unless you play competitively. They are scattering the art among the trash honestly.
Game to big?? LOL
Like no 101.❤aloha danny
just dont come and cry when your pop 20 000 in a psa 10 wont get any buyer in the future
1st?
2:00 when you said stellar looked good you lost me
Whats happening is flippers are buying out alt art, illustration rares, etc knowing people will make videos about it which gets their viewers FOMO buying and feeding the flippers. Sorry Danny, I like your videos but you are part of the problem lately
Appreciate the feedback fam. I see it differently, but I can also understand why it would be thought of that way
No English 151 reprint please!!!
That Groudon is SO mediocre. Maybe just slightly better than half the other Paradox Rift cards. I really belie it'll be a $4 card again someday, along with most illustration rares.
^hahahhaha your smoking crack. The IR's are better than most of the SIR's which are mostly trainers and dumb looking masks
Danny plays a big part in Market Manipulation with every upload.
