@ThePokeOffice my first comment ever and @thepokeoffice replied?! I feel honored! I watch every video you post. Re-entered the hobby this year in March. The last pack I opened was fossil when I was a kid until I opened 151.
Pokemon knew what they were doing with that set! I've debated whether to do my first purchase on a live stream from you or alex from Nostalgia Nomics... I'll see you at the next rip n ship!
Haven’t watched yet but I totally agree. It’s the 2nd best main set in SWSH so feel like it should be worth 60-65% of ES. ES being 1000 right now I wouldn’t be surprised if we see 600 within a month or so which I believe is its fair market price
I think the two sets that will climb a lot in price during 2025 are Surging Sparks and Twilight Masquarade for obvious reasons. I think we will see a rise in prices in every single s&v set though and unless Pokemon increase their production rates we will see problems in fulfilling pre-orders for almost all future sets
The thing with booster boxes, people display them and the Fusion Strike Box pops in color, LO is a little more mild looking, but the better set comparatively in my opinion. I think card wise.. EVO is #1 and LO is #2 as a set, but comes down to preference.
I had to tell my fiancée that this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity and we need to postpone the wedding and buy boxes then in 1-2 years sell them. Be happy and married and rich too. Ty for the confidence.
I knew my case of fusion for 890 would do good but no idea it’s go this quick haha. I think 151 will get more reprints like ETBs but the demand is so high it won’t matter
Yep, any reprint of pokemon right now, no matter what set, will not make any difference imo. Unless it is a SUBSTANTIAL reprint that completely floods the market
@ yep, and with how many sets are constantly coming out it seems like printers are already fully going brrrrrr. Insane to me that they didn’t print prismatic like shining fates. Maybe it will who know because it is literally free money with how popular it will be and high margins cuz specialty set and having reverse holos you are going to have to rip soooo many packs for any complete set
Do you think the relevance of Mew VMAX on the meta game for the entire time it was relevant has impact on the price of fusion strike booster boxes? I wonder if more of it was ripped to get the key meta relevant cards?
My biggest issue on why people buy es fs ssp booster box if their pull rates suck just to get a hit and they get better hits on 36 singles I rather spend extra money on 36 singles than a booster box for those sets and i can be wrong but crown zenith will explode it may beat fusion strike possible catch up to evolving skies since the print is ending like u have a better high chance to get the expensive chase cards compared to umbreon gengar and pikachu…I understand the art is better but risking a lot to get sucky pulls they will spend thousands just by buying 4 plus es booster to find umbreon but will they make their money back?
Though no one asked, I catch quite a bit of hate for it but I'm not a fan of prizmatic moon kitty. Idk, just don't like it. Not chasing it. Im gonna focus on vintage, scavenging for 151 like a peasant, and GOTR!!!
My plan is February 17th when this comes out in the United States I will be at Costco 2 hours before they open waiting outside and then I will get as many as I can
Evolving skies predication all depends on how the overall economy in the world / mostly USA will go in 2025, we wont see anywhere near 2k evolving skies if everything else crashes around it :)
I honestly think by the summer when team rockets set comes in and the legends az game comes out then mega mewtwo Coming on the go app…eevees and pikachu will be on a break and go look for vintage xy era that is still Cheap and black and white too due to the az game coming bringing back mega evolution…the base bw is a 2.5k booster box and the expensive chase card is $24 raw
Colin thank you for your fun and laid back videos (not to say they aren't awesome!). Feels like we're chatting with a friend about Pokemon every video. I dig it!
I completely disagree with TCGplayer market price. Lots of things vary it like loose 36 packs. Please do 30 extra seconds of research and look at last sales. Fusion strike is selling for $425 it is not $375 anymore regardless of what their “Market Price” says. Same with evolving skies there have been at least 3 sales at $1000 and the cheapest listed box is $1,010 buy a guy with 30 sales. The next one with a trusted seller is just shy of $1200
Yea that's totally fair. But the average person only looks at the market price, so whether you like it or not, that's the price I tend to follow. People trust the market price, even though what you are saying is right.
@ we are here for investing information we are obviously not casuals. If this was pokerev I wouldn’t care, the number are the numbers and the market price reading in a bulk market is severely behind. It’s not like we are talking $375 vs $385 the cheapest box of fusion rn is $450 that’s like 15% that’s a wide margin
Eww you said chilling reign better than fusion strike?? Its evolving skies, fusion strike, lost origin, the chilling reign by a slim margin in that top 5
Ppl aren’t hungry to rip Pokémon cards I feel like this is the same crap and reselling douchebags are going to be messing things up for collectors over the next year. There’s a prediction for the next 12 months.
You are a rip off of Nostalgia Nomic, Alex says something decent and you just repeat it because you can’t spot these things yourself. Every video! Unoriginal pretender in the Pokemon RUclips community. Do better.
I watch both channels on a regular basis and I don’t get a sense of Colin copying Alex at all. Back to the farm for you I think Pickled Pig. Awful take.
Call me crazy but I see $750 fusion strike
Certainly possible
honestly, that wouldn't surprise me one bit
@ThePokeOffice my first comment ever and @thepokeoffice replied?! I feel honored! I watch every video you post. Re-entered the hobby this year in March. The last pack I opened was fossil when I was a kid until I opened 151.
so sick man! Crazy how many people came back for 151!!!!
Pokemon knew what they were doing with that set! I've debated whether to do my first purchase on a live stream from you or alex from Nostalgia Nomics... I'll see you at the next rip n ship!
I think evolving skies bb gonna hit 2k mid 2025
My prediction for 2025 is that Paldea evolved will hit 250 a booster box by mid year!!
I can absolutely see this happening. Already selling for $170
I agree with the $600.00 per Fusion Strike BB, most likely $650-$690
Yea, based on it's current trajectory, it actually could get there pretty quick
Haven’t watched yet but I totally agree. It’s the 2nd best main set in SWSH so feel like it should be worth 60-65% of ES. ES being 1000 right now I wouldn’t be surprised if we see 600 within a month or so which I believe is its fair market price
It’s already almost $500 usd 😅
I think the two sets that will climb a lot in price during 2025 are Surging Sparks and Twilight Masquarade for obvious reasons.

Went to Costco this morning as well .. none there either
make sure to ask them to look up the product number. This mroning when I checked, the Langley warehouse hadn't received them yet
I also gotta say I love when you rip 10 packs at the end of your videos
it's definitely a lot of fun, but gotta make sure i don't make my costs too high lol!
My prediction is that the Team Rocket set will be one of the top 2 desired new sets of the 2025 year
I see ES hitting $1,800 to $2,000 per box
I'll sell you 2 evolving skies boxes for 1k each

Yeah man i rip booster boxes with my 5 year old! So much fun! Love your content man
Thanks my man! Appreciate the support
I didn’t know they sold Pokémon cards in Canadian
Lmao yep it’s crazy. Opening Pokémon cards in igloos. Who would’ve thought
Evolving skies for $2000 by the end of 2025 is definitely a crazy one but with this market right now. 🤷🏽♂️ Great video and depth.
Yea, That one is a spicy take for sure lol!
How do you think the normal skies ETBs will do ?
Umbreon masterball will be the most expensive card of 2025.
I'm not convinced. But you could be right!
a proper prismatic UPC would be deadly
yes, completely agree
especially for my wallet
Do you think the relevance of Mew VMAX on the meta game for the entire time it was relevant has impact on the price of fusion strike booster boxes? I wonder if more of it was ripped to get the key meta relevant cards?
could be. But I don't think that would affect it this much... I think people are seeing how good those middle sets of SWSH era were.
my big bet is on crown zenith!
Oh yea!!! It's gonna go boom this year I bet!
I've got 5 ES booster boxes :)
Very nice
@ThePokeOffice Does the pokenotify monitor Uk stocks and alert you, do you know ? Thank you
Yes it monitors uk sites for sure
13.8k to 13.9k congrats man!
Closing in on 14k actually. Thanks!!!
What’s your prediction on the Japanese umbreon sar do you think it will be a pretty expensive card down line or will it drop
Didn't you make a video of predictions last week? That one had 4 predictions in the title
lol yes, but It was kind of geared towards different avenues. But tbh, I kind of forgot about it lol!!!
I think there’s going to be a lot of 151 because of how early it’s been shipped, I think it’s going to be readily available
I still think battle styles is a great buy at the price. It is right now you have TT tar alternate Art and several other alternate arts
Great video! I also open way too much packs now 😂
I joined the discord, how do I get to the poke notify?

Haha hi love the 2 pack comment I used to get 2 packs every Friday in the. Corner shop , every Friday on my way home from school
Look on the recent sales there were quite a few ay 1000 i thought you would know how to look at recent sales
Yea I saw that, but I was more talking about market price
Hey Collin you in the Facebook groups or on discord? Would love to connect and show you my collection.
Both
Great Video!
Appreciate the kind words!
Speaking of 151 I’m surprised the Zapdos it’s still so cheap. I just figured that card to be at least be $100.
My biggest issue on why people buy es fs ssp booster box if their pull rates suck just to get a hit and they get better hits on 36 singles I rather spend extra money on 36 singles than a booster box for those sets and i can be wrong but crown zenith will explode it may beat fusion strike possible catch up to evolving skies since the print is ending like u have a better high chance to get the expensive chase cards compared to umbreon gengar and pikachu…I understand the art is better but risking a lot to get sucky pulls they will spend thousands just by buying 4 plus es booster to find umbreon but will they make their money back?
Chilling Reign is coming babyyy...❄️❄️❄️. Astral is definitely a darkhorse.🌟
Gengar much nicer then the giritina imo I mean I love the gengar so much I don’t have it tho
Though no one asked, I catch quite a bit of hate for it but I'm not a fan of prizmatic moon kitty. Idk, just don't like it. Not chasing it. Im gonna focus on vintage, scavenging for 151 like a peasant, and GOTR!!!
To each their own!
If I was lucky my mom would buy me a $15 tin once or twice a month
My plan is February 17th when this comes out in the United States I will be at Costco 2 hours before they open waiting outside and then I will get as many as I can
Which will probably be a maximum of 6 to 10 LOL because I'm not rich
Also need to be checking Pokemon Center all day on Prismatic Evolutions release day trying to get that Pokemon Center ETB
Fusion will hit $600
we think alike!
Evolving skies predication all depends on how the overall economy in the world / mostly USA will go in 2025, we wont see anywhere near 2k evolving skies if everything else crashes around it :)
My hot take is: your hot take on evolving skies doubling again, isn't a hot take, and just probable.
lol, i love it
I honestly think by the summer when team rockets set comes in and the legends az game comes out then mega mewtwo Coming on the go app…eevees and pikachu will be on a break and go look for vintage xy era that is still Cheap and black and white too due to the az game coming bringing back mega evolution…the base bw is a 2.5k booster box and the expensive chase card is $24 raw
I personally dont like the prismatic evolution set besides the palafin. The style isn't for me. I can see the appeal, but not for me.
I see bubble mew 800 cad raw in 2025
as crazy as that is, this wouldn't surprise me one bit
its the scalpers buying and selling
Colin thank you for your fun and laid back videos (not to say they aren't awesome!). Feels like we're chatting with a friend about Pokemon every video. I dig it!
Appreciate it my man!

GOD SKIES 🎉🎉🎉
Time for my 4th moonby psa 10. Tryna find the korean version now 😂. Cheap as chips
Ain’t nothing going on. Nothing to see here. Selling granny for Pokémon tokens.
I didn't see anything
I’m going to spend a lot of money in 2025 I think. Hahahah!
That's not a prediction... that's a fact!
Eww you said chilling reign better than fusion strike?? Its evolving skies, fusion strike, lost origin, the chilling reign by a slim margin in that top 5

If that was the case then rip and shippers would have no customers. But they are constantly going and ripping, so theres definitely a hunger to rip
Talk less show more brotha
no thanks
You are a rip off of Nostalgia Nomic, Alex says something decent and you just repeat it because you can’t spot these things yourself. Every video! Unoriginal pretender in the Pokemon RUclips community. Do better.
lol don’t watch then. Have a great day
I watch both channels on a regular basis and I don’t get a sense of Colin copying Alex at all.
Back to the farm for you I think Pickled Pig. Awful take.
🔥 take
Lol Isnt Nostalgia Nomics a rip off of Alpha Investments…?
But, this channel has a PSA 10 voice compared to that CGC 8
