Do you think it is a good idea that I buy 2 of each box and mini tin?twicebakejaked.If I keep it and professor willow promo card and Pokémon pikachu just sell on Pokémon center from japan for 40 years,does the price will be go up like the same Pokémon base set 1st edition?
Didn't know they were making an exclusive Pokémon Center ETB for these! I'm assuming that it will have 12 Celebrations Booster packs and 5 regular, as apposed to the 10 in the regular. Will probably be $59.99 as well.
Man, pokemon has taken me and my family by storm. My kid is loving opening packs just like I did when I was a kid, and my wife who has never been into things like pokemon, is actually enjoying opening packs with me! It might because she gets all the best pulls lol.. anyways, just wanted to comment and say I love the content and I appreciate what you do for the pokemon community.. cheers!
@@rosyhvideo2587 they actually put up chilling reign single blister pack displays in Circle K gas stations (behind the counter) around my area.. my wife brought 4 packs home the other day. I've never seen them in gas stations before.

Jumbo cards are the most useless things in trading card history. They’re never worth anything, they take too much space, and they’re hard to keep in pristine condition
@@canttell7553 unfortunately no. Nothing more frustrating and slightly stressful than having no solid place to store/display these stupid jumbos that are forced on us.
@HammerBann You mean don't hoard so much product. Nothing wrong with keeping some stuff sealed, but those that buy 20 ETBs regardless if it's a good investment or not defeat the purpose of collecting the cards. They're supposed to be opened, put in top loaders, and opened up to look at inside a binder. I remember when Pokemon cards were just cards and we loved opening up a pack or 2 every other week if our parents let us buy a pack. Now it's become a stock and an "investment". I'll welcome the price going up but that's why someone should collect.
Again, thanks Jake for always giving us your best opinion about pokemon tcg. My kids, I and my wife are hooked into this hobby. I am a vintage/antique collector...never been into such this thing, but now...i do love collecting...its addictive!😝
I'm gonna go broke after this set cause I'm gonna try and get some for my sealed collection and then rip some open. Also looking to get some of the Japanese products.
Love how in-depth you are expressing your opinions on products. Saw that I was not yet subscribed, immediately corrected that just now! You are my go-to channel for coherent and *calmly* explained Poké TCG news.
I was actually happy to see Pikachu featured so much in this set because I feel like it was either Pikachu or Charizard that was going to be the main event.
I just wanna finally pull that base set charizard. Sure, it's a reprint, but I have been trying to pull that card since I was a kid and I wasn't able to pull it when xy evolutions came out. I want it so bad 🥺 I guess I should just buy a graded xy evolutions charizard, PSA 8 and 9s aren't that insane.
Thanks this is very helpful. Im keeping a sylveon sealed as its one of my favorite pokemon 🙂 id love to display it. An etb sealed as well would be cool. I never keep things sealed but this is the collection where I definitely would. The release rush is a great point as well. With shining fates everyone wanted it, the only way to get it was to pay scalped prices. Now is commonly found in stores for retail price. If not the price has gone down online. You also make a good point of it being a set people with get bored with since it is so small.
I'm so late to the party! My collecting addiction started a few months back when I was walking home and found a Holo Mr rime. Since then I've been buying blisters and etb's to keep hold of long term. My wife doesn't go in the attic thank God, if she did, I'd be in trouble haha. Can't wait to get a couple of the 25th anniversary etb's. Great content as always. I always find your videos to be the most informative.
I highly doubt the prices quoted for MSRP will be available online for the most part… pre-sales online are already double the cost. This is going to be a scalpers dream unfortunately. Like the analytic comparison though. 🍻
Yup. MSRP is never available at most Shops. Ultra premium is pike 250-300 and rtbs at like 100$. I got one of the Ultra premiums for 300 canadian, its a bit high. but i love collecting pokemon, so i got 1 for now. Im going to wait till release to get othet stuff.
that promo troxtricity is great and definitely a reason to pick up that chest , I am a huge fan of this set overall even tho its small , I do agree about the logo on the card could have been way smaller really should have been a small silver stamp to go with the silver anniversary
That's what I was going to say. And they probably went 8 set packs so they can put 2 from each set in this block, but if these drop in October the newest set won't drop till November. So 2 battle styles, 2 chilling reign, 2 evolving skies, and 2 of what else?
@@bobbyhandley5581 did you read what I said? There won't be 8 sets by then. Even if you include SwSh first block (SwSh base, Darkness Ablaze, Rebel Clash and Vivid Voltage) there's only Battle Styles, Chilling Reign, Evolving Skies... the 4th set in this block doesn't come out till November AFTER the box drops. You can't include special sets like shining fates or champions path.
Jake, thanks for the great info! I am super excited for this release. I firmly believe that if you buy these products and keep them sealed in a lockbox for twenty years, that they will make you hundreds of thousands!
Actually Jake, the Ultra-Premium Collection Box having 17 Celebrations Booster Packs and 8 Regular Booster Packs makes sense because if you combine the two, you'll end up with 25 packs which also coincides with the Anniversary count.
1 Etb to keep sealed and 1 collector's chest to open up is my plan for now. I might even skip on the etb and buy 2 chests. I think the chests might be an exciting product to open up down the line. Might have some more nostalgic factor. Also probably going to pick up a tin with the gen 4 starters. I just love them too much
Finally, those metal cards are what I have been waiting for. I have always felt, as someone who collects across different trading and sports cards, from Upper Deck Marvel to Panini NBA product, that Pokemon needed more special inserts and something like 1/1 or more special promo cards. Sport cards and other trading cards have 1/1 autos, patch cards, and other trading cards have rare Metallic cards. Pokemon's most sought after card is the OG Charizard and it's kind of bland and ugly IMO. But, I can't remember other metal cards, so this will be very special even if it is printed heavily to combat scalping, the fact that they don't usually do metal cards will still make them some of the rarer and more special cards. So, as a collector I can't wait.
Even retailers are scalping. I can't get a celebrations chest for under $70 CAD, or an ETB for under $120 here in canada. It's sickening and l don't really know what to do.
Idk if this will help, but when i was trying to get a PS5 (which are highly scalped) i did research on diff twitter/ discord’s i could follow to alert when a PS5 drop was coming. I believe there are similar servers out there for Pokémon drops ?
I'm gonna sell a ton of my singles to get these. I do a mix of collecting and playing, so if I keep my favorite cards and my playable ones I'll be fine. Plus, I'm willing to sell more to get all the products from this amazing set. My plan is gonna be to buy one of most of the products so I can have the promos and maybe get a few extras to keep sealed to start a collection
As always, your videos are full of quality tips. You're so smart and down to earth, it's unbelievable that this is just your hobby. I will for sure buy a couple of collective chests. Pokémon company should have futured Pikachu on the left side and Charizard on the right side for their collective items and have the same amount of cards for these Pokémon in the set. That would have been awesome.
I still remember watching a kid running around the playground in the snow with his perfect Charizard card when it came out. That thing to destroyed so fast. I wonder how often he looks back at that time working at Wendy's now.
I think the mini tin is honestly the best of the best here in my opinion. Two celebrations packs and an extra pack for only 9$ is crazy good. The mini tin is perfect for collecting on a budget, but still getting a great value on what your buying. The collectors chest is still amazing though
Where did you pre-order, Kevin? Already seeing sold out products on tcgcards.nl. Moreover, I'm seeing pretty high prices for them (e.g. €60 for an ETB and €15 for a mini tin).
@@MagisterMatt I ordered them on pokemonkaartenmarkt.nl .I think they’ll go for €55-, and 60,- almost everywhere. On monsterkorting.nl they are to be pre ordered as well. Both sites are charging €57,50 for an ETB, which I think is about the price I paid for any other special set so far, apart from shining fates which I bought for €45,- per ETB
I am probably going to buy the pikachu v union box to keep sealed and then go HAM on the mini tins and the sylveon, charizard and zacian boxes and also maybe 1 ETB oh and the collectors tin!!!!!!
My goal is to get all the promos, each of the 25 special set cards, and keep a sealed elite trainer box. Most of the cards I’ll probably end up buying off of eBay but I am hoping to open some! And hopefully the special set cards aren’t too rare or people may be asking a lot for them..
Great break down. We will definitely need another review of celebration. Also, do you still think its still going to be widely available with all the pok hype? Thanks
The biggest problem with the mini tins is that the packs aren't protected. The cards get way more roughed up in those mini tins then they do when they are packaged nicely in the plastic and cardboard boxes.
I pre ordered 1 v memory charizard collection box a while ago and I just pre ordered 2 etbs from Pokémon center! I’m happy what I was ale to get the only other things I might buy if I can find any is a collectors pack or a mini tin! All at msrp, I refuse to let snipers profit! You just gotta be patient and they will be available just like shining fates, evolving skies, and all other sets!
Pokémon Center doesn't ship to spain and product doesn't always get here by itself... I hope I can manage to find a way to get this product without paying big money to scalpers and such because I'm super excited about this set.
This was soooo helpful. I had no idea that the there was a price per pack ratio. This makes it so much easier to make decisions on what to buy. I also appreciate you mentioning that the price will go down which we have seen over the last few months is when something releases the price spikes and then levels out after a few weeks Q:do you think the etbs will be made readily available or won't be printed again after the initial release?
25th stamp to me was implemented ofcourse due to rights of original. Can't reprint a set 20 years old and not expect change. Evolutions is prime example. Wotc will always remain wotc. This is great for collectors. In love with these boxes and what's inside. POKEMON outdid themselves.. oh and maybe SPECIAL DELIVERY CHARIZARD????🤤🔥😁
@HammerBann The hive mind. Because of how base set packs have skyrocketed they think they can have history repeat itself. Open your packs and enjoy them. Keep stuff sealed only to open them in 5 years, not resell them. The greed in the Pokemon market is insane now. The product is meant to be opened.
Can not wait to get two of every box and complete a master set. Edit: Thanks for the tip on waiting after October 8th that people will get bored of this set since it is small, like you said little too much pikachu, could've used some other starters or legendaries and the logo is a little big. Hopefully scalpers do not capitalize on people getting bored however.
I pre ordered: 2 etbs 3 celebration v collections 2 opikachu vmax figure collections 1 ultra premium collection box. will order more later on maybe a case of lunchboxes,another ultraprimum collection box, and 5 more etbs I love them!!!
Where is the best place to pick these up? I know gamestop you can pre-order, but where else can I buy them? LIke the collectors chest on the 22nd, where can I go in-store and just purchase it?
the value of the Celebrations packs you’re using is not including the other items? 8 Celebrations packs + 3 regular packs brings the pack value to $4.54/pack PLUS the Pika stature PLUS TWO(2) Pikachu promos! which are basically free because normal packs are around $4ea. i think this is an incredible value. same amount of packs as a normal ETB plus promos and a statue.
Maybe for america but in my country the 20th anni sets came wave by wave. Once u miss the importers it's gone. I hate how i can't get my hands on the venusaur figure. Incomplete collection is so irritating.
You can't find these prices anywhere though it looks to me like all the card stores are doing scalper prices, which suck because now they control the market.
Went for an ERS, Pin set and set of 8 mini tins. The ERS mostly for price per pack, pin set for the pin and price per pack, mini tins becaus wife and I want 4 of the 8 tins because we love the first 4 gens. Prices are a lot higher in Europe sadly, but managed to get some at reputable stores. Hoping mostly for some base set rereleases
Im in the same boat. Europe here. Its higher yes but as long as we can get them at retail price for europe it should be good. Youll find them over the next year too.

Hi jake what do you think will increase the most in price over the next few years
My goal is to get all the promos, each of the 25 special set cards, and keep a sealed elite trainer box. Most of the cards I’ll probably end up buying off of eBay but I am hoping to open some! And hopefully the special set cards aren’t too rare or people may be asking a lot for them..
Plot twist: jake wants you to open them so he can earn money on his sealed product 😈😂
I am SO ready for this set!! I don’t even care if its printed into oblivion, loving all of the spoilers we’ve seen so far!
Great video Jake 👍 … the set WILL be mass printed like shining fates. Heavily scalped at first but now it’s literally sitting on shelves at MSRP.
Great break down. We will definitely need another review of celebration. Also, do you still think its still going to be widely available with all the pok hype? Thanks
The biggest problem with the mini tins is that the packs aren't protected. The cards get way more roughed up in those mini tins then they do when they are packaged nicely in the plastic and cardboard boxes.
I pre ordered 1 v memory charizard collection box a while ago and I just pre ordered 2 etbs from Pokémon center! I’m happy what I was ale to get the only other things I might buy if I can find any is a collectors pack or a mini tin! All at msrp, I refuse to let snipers profit! You just gotta be patient and they will be available just like shining fates, evolving skies, and all other sets!
I like the Japanese 25th anniversary logo.💚
Answer: None, they are already sold out and everyone will resell them for twice to three times what they are worth.
Fr, Collection Chest for 25$. Try 50$+
Aaaaand they’re already sold out everywhere except for price-doubling gougers. I hate the state of this TCG.
Yea I don't know how there is nowhere to preorder with how far away it is
Feels kinda meh to me. I will probably pick up some etbs, and a few tins if I can but thats it. Evolving Skies is way more exciting in my opinion 🤩🤩
Hey jake! Love the channel been watching for about a year now! Do you know when pre orders start for celebrations? Thanks!!
Thank you very much for doing the math and putting this together for us, Jake!
I’m super hyped for this set. I’ll probably keep an etb sealed (if I can manage to get one) Thank you for the video!
Did u find one before they sold out?
@@zyern2822 They are very easy to find at MSRP now. The normal and PC exclusive ones
@@swissfries01 msrp?
@@zyern2822 retail
I got Celebrations- 1 ultra premium collection, 2 ETBs, and 2 Lance Charizard boxes pre ordered and payed retail for it all at my LGS. Score.
Imma just buy one of everything, and then buy multiple of those chests..
Those are already double +++ price in preorders.. where can i buy them for a fair price?
Pokémon Center doesn't ship to spain and product doesn't always get here by itself... I hope I can manage to find a way to get this product without paying big money to scalpers and such because I'm super excited about this set.
This was soooo helpful. I had no idea that the there was a price per pack ratio. This makes it so much easier to make decisions on what to buy. I also appreciate you mentioning that the price will go down which we have seen over the last few months is when something releases the price spikes and then levels out after a few weeks
Q:do you think the etbs will be made readily available or won't be printed again after the initial release?
Thanks for the breakdown Jake 🙌🏻 great video!! I’m so pumped for this set!! Definitely gonna try to get 1 of everything 😊
My dude, your reviews and analyses are perfection. Keep up the great work!!
25th stamp to me was implemented ofcourse due to rights of original. Can't reprint a set 20 years old and not expect change. Evolutions is prime example. Wotc will always remain wotc. This is great for collectors. In love with these boxes and what's inside. POKEMON outdid themselves.. oh and maybe SPECIAL DELIVERY CHARIZARD????🤤🔥😁
Elite trainer box that one with the pikachu metal card and the pikachu statue those are the ones i like
Better Question... What Pokémon Celebration product will be left after scalpers clear shelves?
This set's gunna sell out faster than Hidden Fates and Shining Fates combined
@HammerBann The hive mind. Because of how base set packs have skyrocketed they think they can have history repeat itself. Open your packs and enjoy them. Keep stuff sealed only to open them in 5 years, not resell them. The greed in the Pokemon market is insane now. The product is meant to be opened.
All of them. These products are really unique and I'm really excited about them.
thanks for the overview! really helpfull and i will be back on this video when we get closer to october
me: the entire set. I'm not even a set collector but this is different
Wow, delta species, dark/light types? You trying to appeal to my nostalgia, Pokemon? I mean, it's working...
Pokemon center has celebrations v union boxes and elite trainer boxes for preorder!!
Can not wait to get two of every box and complete a master set.
Edit: Thanks for the tip on waiting after October 8th that people will get bored of this set since it is small, like you said little too much pikachu, could've used some other starters or legendaries and the logo is a little big. Hopefully scalpers do not capitalize on people getting bored however.
Highly disagree with opening the special addition collection box. That is going to hold crazy resale value over ripping it IMO
Cant wait to not be able to buy a single pack cause of scalpers 🙂
pre orders have already gone live.... already bought some boxes
@@guusvansprang5673 where are u pre ordering from
Thanks for the informative video!
I can't wait to get my hands on some of these packs to open on my channel 🤤
I pre ordered:
2 etbs
3 celebration v collections
2 opikachu vmax figure collections
1 ultra premium collection box.
will order more later on maybe a case of lunchboxes,another ultraprimum collection box, and 5 more etbs I love them!!!
Where did you pre-order them ? Thank you
@@FanDeSanpe at my local shop
Hey Jake! Where do you usually pre-order your English and Japanese cards? Do you know where I can pre-order as a Canadian?
the tins are cheap for how many boosters you get, right? (just all boosters and chance on something rare)
Oh wow my target in DC has these cards I just seen them two days ago and didn't know they haven't came out yet in some places in going to go buy rn
I’m most likely going to buy 2 to open in my channel one from StockX and another from tcg and see which one is better
Thanks for the info i always look to you for my pokemon advice ,keep up the great work🔥🔥🔥
Okay so October 8th, but like is there a specific timezone its actually realeased on?
Probably UTC. Just look up what time it would be compared to your timezone.
Where is the best place to pick these up? I know gamestop you can pre-order, but where else can I buy them? LIke the collectors chest on the 22nd, where can I go in-store and just purchase it?
the value of the Celebrations packs you’re using is not including the other items? 8 Celebrations packs + 3 regular packs brings the pack value to $4.54/pack PLUS the Pika stature PLUS TWO(2) Pikachu promos! which are basically free because normal packs are around $4ea. i think this is an incredible value.
same amount of packs as a normal ETB plus promos and a statue.
That's correct. I'm assuming that what you want the most is going to be the packs.
He’s not putting any value on non celabrations packs
All I want are the vintage card reprints, especially that Venusaur and I hope a Blastoise.
Maybe for america but in my country the 20th anni sets came wave by wave. Once u miss the importers it's gone. I hate how i can't get my hands on the venusaur figure. Incomplete collection is so irritating.
Im getting the tin, that mimukyu looks awesome
I’m definitely getting the $120 box. Gonna try my best to pre order if I can.
You wanna preorder one ? I already ordered 3 for 300 Dollar each
Got one too at 300 ! And I already see them at 500$ :s
You can't find these prices anywhere though it looks to me like all the card stores are doing scalper prices, which suck because now they control the market.
Went for an ERS, Pin set and set of 8 mini tins. The ERS mostly for price per pack, pin set for the pin and price per pack, mini tins becaus wife and I want 4 of the 8 tins because we love the first 4 gens. Prices are a lot higher in Europe sadly, but managed to get some at reputable stores. Hoping mostly for some base set rereleases
Im in the same boat. Europe here. Its higher yes but as long as we can get them at retail price for europe it should be good. Youll find them over the next year too.
I'm glad someone feels the same as me about the stamp on the cards 😅
Thanks for the video, which one should i consider if I only want to get base set charizard, blastoise and venusaur? thanks
Very appreciated! Thanks for all the helpful information
I really don't like the mini tins or the ball tins cause it seems like the chance for damaged cards is too high for me
Ultra premium collection: $120 USD
Me: Only saw preorders for $299 CAD everywhere so sucked it up and got one..........
I preorder mine for 180 euros... gonna eat rice all this year btw
@@Shindro69 I got mine for 140 euro. Noodles coming next week.
My top want is definitely the gigantamax pikachu box followed by the ETB
