@@Danzo1212 Correct. The amount they printed completely killed the hype around the set. Is it considered investible? Yes, but CZ I consider to be B tier with HF as A tier. The problem is the supply and the fact that all these overprinted speciality sets are competing with each other. The only speciality set I would consider that is still a buy are celebrations ETB.
@@portalmasterry6765 Pokeinvesting is stupid and always has been. It's choking a market on products for returns on a coin flip. You are better off just investing in consistent blue chip stocks on the actual stock market.
We found booster bundles online at Walmart for a good price and ordered one. We can’t spend a ton of money on cards right now, so we were happy to be able to buy one!
True but the fact is that 151 still hasn't quite met demand. I think that's why they're opting for smaller and more accessible products like booster bundles as an outlet for soft reprintings rather than hard reprintings. And that way they can slowly but surely over time meet demand without flooding the market too much because of how special of a set it is. I know that I myself am still yet to get my hands on any sealed 151 product whatsoever. So I'm living proof that it hasn't met demand yet and I know of many people who are in the same boat as I am. And I and many other people absolutely refuse to buy anything from anyone else besides the Pokemon Center website and LGS's, because we see what some other people are trying to do by buying every type of product up as fast as they can so they can try to price gouge and make it seem as though there's not much product, and the reason why we won't buy through anyone else besides the previously stated is because I'm not paying for anything more than MSRP for a sealed product when it hasn't yet been at the very least twenty five years since it first hit the shelves. Come fifty years and it would then be considered to be an antique in the world of collectibles and you can begin to take it to big high roller auctions. But most people don't think like that. And that's where people like myself end up having the last laugh to get out of this moot point of a life of mine, because even the most useless common rarity card with the least bit of playability out of any given set you could point to past, present, or future will be worth a pretty penny due to the simple fact it's an antique, and it has survived for fifty or more years even without having been PSA, Beckett, CGC, or etc., graded and encapsulated. So don't think about the here and now in the present. Sure, you have to eat, and there's no denying that. I do too. But how desperate are you really? Enough to realize you don't need to buy it all up to make what you can rate now but rather just enough to complete master sets with a little bulk on the side for trade purposes and maybe to get you by during the harder years when you need to pay the bills? Also on the side maybe a sealed product or two? With the foresight of an almost prophetic nature to understand what every card and sealed product regardless of what set it's from will be worth come fifty years down the line from the day of its release and that there's more than enough to go around for everyone? I sure hope so... Because that's how desperate I am. And that's also why I never complain about how much is initially printed of any given set no matter how much prices drop in the beginning so long as they don't print it for more than five years. That's short sightedness to constantly complain about the prices dropping in the here and now, when it has just barely gotten out into the wild, and you still have people trying to gobble it all up for themselves to try to control the market. Leaving none for anyone else. With an "Must buy all of them" attitude as if your life will change significantly in five years if they don't print any more of it within the next five years. Not all of it is going to make it to that big five-o mark. It's an investment for the long term. A fifty year investment to be exact. Not an open and sell immediately product on day one. And the reason for that is because it's a collectible. Fifty years from now it won't matter how much was printed. It will only matter that it survived for that long. And the reason for that is because there will only be as many as what demand was at the time of the printing and will be much less than what demand will be for it in fifty years. In other words, fifty years from now for 151, there won't be enough to go around because it will have long been out of print. If you can't take it to a high roller millioniare and billioniare antique auction rate now then it's worth diddly squat. Only around the twenty five year mark is when you get just a small glimmer of what's to come like we did with Base Set 1st Edition, Jungle, Fossil, and their unlimited counterparts. Base Set 1st Edition won't see it's fifty year anniversary until the year 2049. 151 on the other hand won't see it's fifty year anniversary until the year 2073. Your life isn't going to change today, tomarrow, this week, this month, or this year or within the next few years through this investment. It will change fifty years from now in the year 2073 with more than likely quite a bit to spare on the side to pass on to your children and grandchildren. Much love.
Man the margins suck so bad.. after stuff like fees, shipping, shipping materials, and taxes.. idk how anyone stays in business just selling Pokemon product without a monetized social media presence that nets them decent amount of income
Thank you for the info. You should do one of these distribution availability videos once a month. I too have noticed low stock. I don’t have allocation but I buy bulk from a big seller who does and they literally only have ETB’s and some collection boxes available. No booster boxes since about the time Temporal Forces came out.
It blows my mind that they didn't do the most massive reprint of all time on Evo Skies last year. It would have literally just been an immediate extra $150 million in their pockets. Who turns that down? Booster boxes would have still stayed at a healthy premium for a while afterward.
I find this difficult to happen right now for a lot of reasons: first, I think Pokemon is done with sw&sh, they've printed all the latest sets to the death. Secondly, which s&v sets should be reprinted? You can still find almost all sets rather easily, base set and obf weren't that interesting for most, paldea evolved is still very widely available, paradox rift hasn't been our for more than 10 months now! I can see 151 getting reprinted but Pokemon don't usually print large waves of special sets. Thirdly, Pokemon is printing less and less product - everyone knows that shops can't get the stock they used to get so reprints will go against this policy. Anyway I hope I'm proven wrong
The playmat is included in the 7 pack box danny. I have them in my collection. It shows that people dont know what they are buying so they pay 10 bucks more to miss out on 2 extra packs + a pin lol.
The only real reprint needed is 151, i started recently to collect pokemon again, but €80-€90 for a etb is just crazy. My goal is to collect all scarlet and violet collections
@@DarthKitty123we ended up getting one of those. Probably the last we’ll be able to get in a while :/. My husband was able to buy two 151 ETBs this past week, but they were completely gone when we checked Target later in the week
Not sure why I just thought this: for the competitive scene, they should make everyone use a random deck. Call me crazy but it would make things so much more interesting and combat these weird no Pokémon/trainer card only decks. Idk just my thoughts
Need more paldea evolved booster boxes... This will be a set to look back on and wish we had more availability. This is the new generation of starter pokemon
It's insane at our local Target. Magic the Gathering players for sure on the missing stock, but on the back of end caps they have ETBs of shiny fates, chilling rain, obsidian, ext ext. Packs/mystery it's crazy.
I'm still kicking myself. I knew of that big drop of Vivid Voltage and Darkness Ablaze last year but no one ever talked about how it also included Evolving Skies so I didn't know boxes dropped so low which means I didn't buy any.
Dwindling stock because outside Pokemon 151 the S&V are bad sets with prices being held up but one card a set being pumped. The fact that TM is $800 a case and has pretty much one chase card at $300 is absurd. Paldea Evolved at $900 a case is an even bigger joke with a $100 Magikarp chase card.
Very interesting. Canadian distribution has more in stock. I can still get sleeved blisters for pretty much all the sets. Got lucky today and ordered 151 booster bundles at wholesale price. They released a new wave it seems. I’m still new so don’t get allocation, just check frequently to see what I can get
Great video Danny. I'm a new collector - been in the hobby for 2 months only - and wanted to start Paldea Evolved next month. Now I see why I shouldn't. So far I'm going for Obsidian Flames, which I think is a great set, and 151 (the very best) -- and hoping to start Twilight Masquerade soon too.
Love this kinda info, thanks for the info! I fully anticipate most everything will be re-printed soon tho, like you said most likely in time for the holidays
I still don't get why alot people still demand a reprint when they had every chance to get it when a set first come out or months after. All I see is "We want 151 or this set to be reprint so I could grab an etb or whatever just this one time" this is what kills a set due to oversaturated due to reprints. Might as well reprint older set from previous set too while at it because I want some Team Up 😅
I’ve been trying to order one for over a week now and they’re always out of stock! I heard scalpers are buying all of them out and it pissed me off…as someone on a budget looking to open packs for cheap (below MSRP, I mean) 😢
@@jessicamagri8211 they seem to be coming stock all over the country luttle by little. Im in WI and we are lame n usually get stuff last. Just keep checking. The official delayed release date was 8/29 too fyi
I don’t really get how a mass booster box reprint is happening before the holiday season. Two brand new sets are releasing in that time. And two ultra premium collections. Plus a Charizard box. I think the drought continues. Plus all these boxes are available on PC at high retail, but still available.
Danny I was gonna wait and buy trick or trade packs from you, but sams had 80 pack for $25 and I need like 200. I hope this doesn't affect our relationship.
Wal-Mart sold over 50,000 151 booster bundles in 1 day, a few days ago.Already sold out. No matter what they print in 151 it isn't going to last IMO.
Crown Zenith is just going to go nuts at the first hint of product becoming even slightly hard to come across, like what Hidden Fates did.
no its overprinted to hell same with hidden fates

@@Danzo1212what do you mean by HF being overprinted? Its ETB is $160, has been above $100 for years. Clearly demand is outpacing supply
Best buy has CZ booster bundles up for preorder. CZ is the set that keeps on giving.
I saw that, I was like, wait wut??
thanks homie
It would be nice to find some 151 out in the wild.
Walmart typically has some on the shelf
I got 5 boxes for sale
We found booster bundles online at Walmart for a good price and ordered one. We can’t spend a ton of money on cards right now, so we were happy to be able to buy one!
Found an etb at barns and noble recently
My walmart still has the galarian bird tins and etbs

pokémon has too many collectors, not enough gamers. not surprised this happened.
I remember when Tik tok had their specials paying for Pokemon items. Silver Tempest ETB’s were $15 shipped. No tax.

Lol crown zenith sea and sky 14 pack box just dropped in store at Sam’s…
Prerelease events are awesome, build and battle and an additional four booster packs so eight total for $25 is hard to beat.
Sams Club did the Sea and Sky CZ box. It was $40 for 14 packs of CZ.
I think a paldea evolved reprint and 151 reprint seems the most likely
Crown zenith releasing booster bundles next month. Already available for pre-order at Best buy
I bought Evo skies from the Football Pete guy on eBay for 104$ a box. Chilling reign was like 88$ then.

Nothing but S/V will be reprinted to meet demand, they are done with everything else.
I think Whatnot has truly oversaturated the collector market. IMO
I have walked in to walmarts and targets with many 151 items in stock. Not sure how far it spreads out
MJ Holdings stock each store once a week they usually put out 3-4 etbs of 151. Sometimes collection boxes. They don’t stick around too long.
thanks for this upload man awsome video
Thanks
I already have my stellar crown pokemon products
151 is going to dominate S&V - reprint won’t hurt it a bit.
Honestly we don't need a reprint on anything. But it's probably coming...
Great video fantastic insights
Wow thank you very much for this info. Helped me a lot. Peace & Love
