I think this is going to be first SV set that ends up with 2+ $100 cards!!! I won’t speculate on which end up being that much but I think this is a banger set!
You def could be right, I’m curious to see how expensive the Lisia gets. Could be the most expensive trainer card from S&V or could settle between $50-$100.
I do agree with what you’re saying. I did make surgi by sparks my first booster box case purchase though lol and will probably pick up 2-3 more boxes of stellar hopefully by end of the year. Really hope we will get another shot at 151 before christmas
I only invested in a few PC ETBs of surging sparks. But I’ve got like 15 sealed English booster bundles and 4 Japanese booster boxes of 151. I just keep buying more every week. I’m in the long 10-15 year game. I hold everything I have. I open some here and there when I feel like I’ve earned it lol.
As someone who got back into the hobby less than 2 months ago,I appreciate your opinion and advice.I am looking to complete the jungle/fossil/base set and I am unaware of all these new sets but wanting to have a crack at 1 of them for fun.
@@JBTCG Thanks man..Yeah I really wished I came back sooner for the initial release of 151,its a beautiful set.Will these new 151 releases be different from the original mew 151 set?Like showing its a 2nd edition/printed in 2024 or would it be exactly like the one they released 1st time?
@@jacobhuggins7572 it’ll be exact the same, they’ve done away with the first edition stamps and stuff. They’ve kinda moved to a schedule where they release a set and then a year or so later it gets a reprint or two to make sure there’s enough supply while the cards from that set are still playable and then after that playability period ends, no more stock of a set gets released
Buddy, unlike most of the commenters here apparently, I exactly agree with you. Gym heroes, glory of Team Rocket, and Terrastal festival will far outclass surging sparks and stellar crown. Crown zenith is my current pick up im buying lots of small lots of singles at killer prices, 151 lots coming up at fairly decent prices. I finished 151 master set and am not feeling the pressure to invest in it right now. If it reprints there will be a dumb amount of product and 151 in particular has so many people holding it for now until like 3 years down the line when these highly impulsivr newbie buyers will be leaving the hobby or ripping, or even as seen lately, some people lose collections to housefires, flooding, etc. I think theres so much on my fun list to come that I dont even know if I can invest this year haha. I want to master sets and not stare at booster boxes. Im probably going to buy some 151 and Crown Zenith boosters and wait until the new sets. I might get a surging sparks etb PC edition aswell but honestly this is only a hobby for me.
thank you man, and congrats on finishing the 151 master set. Even if that isn’t an investment it sure as hell is increasing pretty nicely in price. Gonna be really fun to watch how 151 and CZ fair over time and I’m hype as hell for the 2025 releases
I respect your thought process. Instead of crown zenith you should just put more money into 151 but that’s just my opinion. Hopefully gonna get at least 5 or more booster box cases of surging sparks and buy 151 when it’s available. Was able to get 12 poster collection boxes from Walmart about a week ago before they sold out
@@MahBahlZitch-ks6bn yeah I’m hoping to pick up more 151 than CZ but it’s been tough finding it... I do have a couple of cases of those posters as well though. Praying to double the amount of booster bundles I have before they stop printing
@@JBTCG those booster bundles are pretty sick. Picked up about 50 of them a coo minute ago when Walmart had them for 29.99 and still have them. Congrats on your channel and wish you the best 🫡🫡
@@ANTHIT i have no opinion on whether to buy it or not due to having no knowledge how reprints work with Japanese cards . I bought a couple booster boxes of Japanese 151 at $55 incase I ever wanna open them but at $100 I’m not too comfortable buying it
I went pretty hard on surging sparks, and got a heavy chunk of stellar crown. My new goal is one of every booster box. Might take me a while only got as far back as rebel trash.
@@JBTCG i picked up xy base for 1100 the version with the purple pokemon on it. It's looking like 1500 plus for that one. Think I scored. Saving it for 10 years kinda thing
Went hella light on Stellar Crown, Surging Sparks aswell a case of booster boxes MAX, Pokemon is a master mind plotter … HOLD your $$ for the REAL sets coming boyz!
Personal opinion only but i think surging is gonna go crazy, my guess is surpass TM within a shorter amount of time, although i get what youre saying to save forater sets, just saying its an amazing opportunity rn
As far as 151 goes, wouldn't it make more sense for Pokémon to sell it now aove retail, then try to restock it during black friday and sell it below retail?
I’m planning on holding 151 for years and there is no guarantee that it gets restocked abundantly on Black Friday. I’m praying it does but there’s the chance it doesn’t. I also think 151 products will grow more in price than any other set from S&V long term so I’d rather be invested in it over other sets
I understand the FOMO aspect but seems like you will be wanting to have some surging sparks for investing like you say but the best time to invest in the set is right when the pre release comes out. Prices are at the lowest. Besides shrouded fable that set is really but, but the past three the booster boxes are already selling over $100. I got mine at $99 and I’m already in the profit even if it is only a few dollars but I’m already in the profit while you are still waiting. Just saying
Dw I preordered under $100. My main point was that I’m going hard on 151 whenever I see an opportunity and I’d rather pick up 151 and CZ for cheap than surging. I will say it’s a nice issue to have where we have a bunch of good opportunities back to back to back
Sleeping on Surging Sparks is a bad idea. Just because there are good sets coming doesn’t mean Surging isn’t investable NOW while prices will be at their lowest. Now, I can’t confirm this will be THE BEST main set of the era but it has a great shot at being in the top 5, possibly 3. Don’t miss out on opportunities right here, right now.
I’m with you I’m not avoiding surging sparks by any means but my point is if I have $1,000 to spend I’m gonna put as much of it as I can into 151 products at retail
Hype is nothing until there's a product. Eevee and Rocket sets have potential, sure, but they can ruin both sets with lazy design and poor card choices. People don't like Moonbreon because it's Umbreon. They like it because it's Moonbreon.
As a Japanese collector, I have found your insights thoroughly articulated and it seems like you are also well versed in this area. Subscribed!

I'm doing the exact same thing, I'm holding off on Surging Sparks and Stellard Crown but picking up everything 151 I can find 😅

If ur looking to open up for fun crown zenith is super enjoyable but if ur looking to master a set, 151 looks nicer in a binder IMO
