    Those are all great points about blisters. Never looked at it that way. I like that you are looking at it from a realistic perspective as well. Other channels don't really do that.

    In Europe we've got half booster boxes, quite interesting as well ;) some of them are heavily undervalued as well. Can still get Fusion Strike 18 pack booster boxes for about 75$ - which is ridiculous.

    Great video man! My daughter and I are new to collecting and have been trying to learn the different ways of connecting that being the most value and liquidity. We don't really have any sealed products, mainly because we open all of them on our RUclips, but it's good to know things like this. You're video was awesome man! Subbed!

    Dude never thought about it that way! I just always want to get as many packs as possible lol. I think it’s good to buy the boosters for the first start of the set collection to get most of the commons, but then it makes total sense to go for the blisters. Excited to see more videos!

    I Collect 3 pack blisters too, downside is the packs can shift out of place. Most times the can be shaken back into place without much trouble. Also the top cardboard tends to curl overtime too

    Yes , totally agree with you it seems that is good advice for the community.
    The only thing I would ad about the three pack blisters you always seem to get one hitter pack and two non hitter packs.
    I would recommend the singles the luck has always been a bit better for me.

    While i agree with the benefits of the 3 pack blisters and collect them myself, they don’t sell nearly as frequent or as easy a booster box. Fusion as an example sells a couple boxes a day on TCG vs 1 a month of the 3 Planck blister. Hopefully this Is due to Pokemon center still having them in stock. I like Squirtle.

    • @Hound_3
      @Hound_3  3 месяца назад +1

      Yeah I know. I think because they don’t store as nice and take up more room. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!!

    @chiefchimp2789 2 месяца назад +1

    Personally, I love 3 pack blisters. I have a nice collection of about 20-25 of them and I truly think these will be much more scarce in the future. People love to rip them and no one holds them because they really focus on holding booster boxes and ETB's.
    I agree on your points of the benefits too.
    Back in 2020 I purchased a case of 144 sleeved boosters of Guardians Rising for MSRP. It's the equivalent of 4 booster boxes. The end result was 46 hits including 7 secret rares. 4 booster boxes would have not yielded those results (especially in the sun & moon era where 8 hits was considered a successful booster box). I don't buy booster boxes anymore. I stick with 3 pack blisters and sleeved boosters and might grab a few checklanes if I like the promo. The randomness of the variety almost always ends up with better results.

    I like this perspective on the blisters. However, I would like to make a comment on booster boxes. Most of the time, you’re not going to be buying them for MSRP. If you’re ripping outright, price per pack is almost always going to be cheaper than blisters. However, like you said, blisters do allow you to be able to diversify your hits. For investing though, I agree with you on the blisters. Blisters do take up more space than boxes though, so that’s something to consider when investing especially long term.

    • @Hound_3
      @Hound_3  3 месяца назад +1

      Yes good point. Early on after a new set is released the booster boxes are a better buy per pack. And any good investment is all about diversification. That extra price per pack early on with the blister could be considered a “convenience charge”. I should have mentioned that in the video! Good catch and thanks for watching! We appreciate you!!!

    have subbed as I'm feeling blisters are the way to go/thats my collection/investment. While I dont see blisters being the solution in the very long term as interest will only be from the deep pocket collectors who can afford whole booster boxes I do feel for a 2-4 yr hold their a brilliant 'hold' / makes it affordable to buyers etc.

    @crumplehornedsnorcack 2 месяца назад +1

    What’s your experience with selling these 3 pack blisters, I heard you say It’s easy to buy, it’s easy to sell. The liquidity on sealed 3 pack blisters for me is absolutely horrendous. They sell, but if part of you’re reasoning is being able to sell a portion, it’s seems noteworthy to point out how poorly they sell compared to the liquidity of a booster box. Great video though, appreciate the content.

    • @Hound_3
      @Hound_3  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes good point by comparison. They only become hot after the set is no longer available. Until then people ignore them. But I do very well, easy double my investment. Everytime. I just live the cheaper price points

    So you’re over leveraged on Triple blisters and you’re trying to exit your position! You said it yourself they’re plentiful so it’s not going to be valuable anytime soon. I havnt open a lot but I’m sure I’m right man you’re funny. 😂

    • @Hound_3
      @Hound_3  2 месяца назад +1

      Oh I am definitely not exiting anytime soon. I’m long hauling it, however I love the option to sell smaller lots to retain the remainder sealed for the future. I should have been more clear in the video. I appreciate you watching.
