The fact that pokemon actually released a half ass set with a couple pikachu chases and the market is doubled is everything you need to know about the hobby. The new eeveelution set is going to be too expensive for people with budgets. Good job Pokemon.
And let’s be fair the amount of people that left the hobby after Covid should alone make any set affordable and plentiful to purchase but pokemon will manipulate the market as they always do
Hey Derium. I started watching your videos when you were opening Roaring Skies back in the day. I'm very happy you're back to making videos on this channel. You got me back to Pokemon, and brought me up when i was really down. Keep goin strong brother.
lmao that hydregion was the best pull out of my box too, ended up with like 30-40$ total. Then checked tcg and saw boxes selling for $175, so im gonna sell off my other boxes.
The hype and fomo is immeasurable. Staying as far away from the market as I can now since it's completely lost touch with reality, meaning when it crashes, it won't just crash 40-50% - it'll crash 95+%.
Are you talking about the pikachu? Because saying the pikachu will crash to less than $50 is crazy but thinking the booster box will crash to $10 a booster box is literally not possible.
@@ViloxRShe is talking about the set in general, ETB, booster boxes. Etc. A week out the booster box is more expensive than twilight masquerade, almost as expensive as fusion strike and lost origin and as expensive as some sun and moon sets. Crazy price manipulation over 1 card. Given that card is iconic but its not that more iconic to the point where the booster box a week out should be pushing 200+
People said that with S&S alt art cards and those things are bouncing back up hard. With many of them never even coming close to filling the gap down. I would agree with you but times have changed so much it is hard to tell. The Meme stocks have changed the landscape of investors. People are moving large positions from the stock market into this unregulated hobby. Why risk Tesla with the short sellers and market manipulators (not makers), when you can just buy a bunch of cardboard at a low price and have emotional people chasing after it as you manipulate it yourself? Financial scams and market influencers shift with the world and latch onto anything that will make them a quick buck. ESPECIALLY when it is unregulated and can be used to take advantage of others. They have ruined sport card collecting for 90% of enthusiast, so them ruining Pokemon will come as no surprise to me.
LOLOL for real! The Latias/Latios and Milotic are miles beyond the Pikachu. Happy to see the degenerates buying it for $700 are already holding the bag they deserve.
Yeah the hit rates are horrible on this set dude people are opening like 80 packs and not drawing any profit. It’s almost smarter to take a gamble and buy the pikachu chase card raw and pray the market for surging sparks doesn’t fall lol. Cause when you do the math for the hit rates you’re most likely spending more $ on packs instead of just buying the pikachu for $500
It's pricing everything based on the market value, in the same sense when we price a card, that's not actually how much I'd get after a sale. It's simply for a baseline compared to what the market is saying. =D
I will wager that pichachu will be 100 bucks in 2 years time. its not a good card. And the eevees dont impress me either. Should have stuck with the alt art formula. Was way better.
Man I love watching losses makes me feel better on my purchases, no offense
hahaha it's what i'm here for!
Wow you were negative wellllll before you even opened a pack
That box was horrendous, thanks for opening it for us.

I like the set but I understand where your coming from. next sets gonna be impossible to find😢
It genuinely sucks! I only want to open a few packs here and there of each new set but then they get scalped to hell and back :(

$212 after tax, never seen a booster box hit $200+ so fast.
"Bring up the high tech graphic" LOL, dude, love this content!

I bought a box today and I pulled the Pikachu and a bunch more hits!
Yay a set ruined by PIKACHU yaaaay..
LOLOL for real! The Latias/Latios and Milotic are miles beyond the Pikachu. Happy to see the degenerates buying it for $700 are already holding the bag they deserve.
also congrats for the pikachu after 2,3 boxes in the other video
i just discovered your channel and i love it
This is about my luck too. It really is.
Booster bundles are the way to go, no boosters boxes
You did your very best Buddy!
Props to derium for taking the bad boxes off the market
people like you
where do you order these not surging sparks just booster boxes in general
That was really bad and I bet results like this aren't all that uncommon. Imagine spending over MSRP on a brand new set and getting that. Yikes, man.
It sucks I’m already down like $140 on surging sparks I feel like buying the pikachu on eBay lol
just opened 5 booster packs of cosmic eclipse and got nothing :) these usually make my losses feel better 😂😂
Bought three blisters, got Latias EX and the Skarmory full art… imma retire there 😂😂
Nah i always say lets go broke.
Just in time!
i open 20 sleeved packs and not even a hit , very poor , could find any booster boxes

That was a disgusting box, man 😢
I’m pretty certain you didn’t pay $185 for your booster boxes.

les go
Pokemon company wants to see how much trash they can load in boxes and watch people still pay for it. The allure of gambling, that's what's selling
Loving iiiit 🎉❤🙏
overwatch and rainbow six NEED to go back to the classics...
Wow, $1000 on Bitcoin would give you a higher return.
I will wager that pichachu will be 100 bucks in 2 years time. its not a good card. And the eevees dont impress me either. Should have stuck with the alt art formula. Was way better.
woooo im first to comment finally!!!!!
It’s not worth opening
