Right now it’s in the same tier as Shining Fates and Paldean Fates. While CZ has more cooler cards imo, it doesn’t have a chase Zard you can pull. Hate English for putting the CZ Zards as promos.
@@vangarang3667 absolutely not. Funnest set in history to open, last set with yellow boarders, the greatest gold cards ever made. It's also a plus that there is no charizard.
Yeah I just bought a case of 3 pack blisters for crown zenith. Think that’s the way I’ll be investing in the set. 3 pack blisters tend to do well over time
Im 30 years old and loved Pokémon when i was Younger. Havent spend a thought on Pokémon in 15 years and a couple of months Ago i found your page and know im in love with Pokémon again and have bought my first boxes! ( silver Tempest & 151 japanese) Thank you! Cheers from Sweden
Thank you for making videos like this, pokerev got me back into collecting but your videos are what I watch to learn anything of real value 🎉 keep killing it my friend I appreciate you 🙏🙏🙏
Another overlooked card in Paldea Evolved is the Heracross IR. I know a ton of folks who’s favorite pokemon is heracross and he’s a solid Gen 2 pokemon. Unless it has a massive reprint, I think it’ll be one of the best SV sets for the nostalgia factor

lovin the vids man. cannot agree more regarding paradox rift. I see a good amount of people totally sleeping on it. I'm grabbing it for dirt cheap rn and it will definitely be a top 3 standard set for this era
Love your videos man. Been watching all of them. Would love a weekly video of best finds under $5 bucks or something like that. There’s so many cheap cards out there to be found and highlighted.
Yeah... however, the art rares in Twilight Masquerade are absolutely fantastic, and we still have a popular pokemon in greninja, plus the trainer SAR's in Twilight Masquerade are some of the best we've seen so far, like there's just a lot of variety. I agree that the ogerpon cards are a little underwhelming but we haven't even seen the english cards in person, so it's kind of hard to judge something based on practically nothing. either than that, this is a really cool video! I agree that paradox rift is underrated
My criteria for investing: 1. Does it have the most loved pokemon? 2. Does it have multiple chases? 3. Waifus bonus? 4. Special set or regular set? 5. If it checks all these boxes, case BB, Case PC ETB, or if you don't have that type of money, BB, Sleeved boosters, PC ETB.
About 1/3th of my collection is lost origin. Been buying it since it came out and 1/3th of my collection is crown zenith because it's in my opinion the most fun set to open EVER
I think the Groudon illustration rare is going be the next card to take off in price. I won't be surprised if it hits 75-100 in the next 6 months. I also think that Chansey card from Twilight Masquerade is going to be a surprise hit.
For sure. I made a video like a week ago about all the cards that are going to boom. Both of those are on the list. I like the groudon way more then tyranitar but it's way easier to grade the groundon
Totally agree the illustration rares should be higher rated. Those cards are the main reason i want twilight masquerade, i actually want to get the singles if the set doesnt blow up so fingers crossed they dont sky rocket
Good ranking The more time goes by the more i actually like scarlet violet sets. If the big hits arent to easy to get then Sv can actually be one of the best eras i think
Solid ranking. Im curious to see whay happens with Twighlight M. There are a few cool cards in there, and japanese collectors are snapping them up. Battle styles is a great sleeper set, i hope it hits $250 down the road, even if it takes a while
You do know value wise paldea evolved beats temporal forces and the set came out a long time ago. Temporal forces is pure Gen 9 with some remakes of popular pokemon that a lot of people actually hate.
Also the evolving skies Pokemon center etb with the eviloution on it is expensive but it’s a beautiful box to add to the collection and I’m positive a crispy sealed box would be good to invest in 💯
Agree with most , I think Darkness ablaze to the garbage, and shining fates (most printed set), I think battle styles I’d put up a level, then temporal forces I’d put in invest in box only, swap evolving skies with brilliant stars, and crown zenith with fusion strike. I would not put SV base that high either but these are all minor things and opinions, who knows . But valid stuff man, I like the takes on the market.
The upcoming english 151 restock will be interesting. Might get super cheap. I only invested in german (small hope no reprint) and in japanese displays...lets see
@@user-fd2fd6lm1o sorry Daddy i can only talk for europe and we get a Poster collection 151 restock and a zapdos ex collection restock. I know the Storeowners I don't need an official announcement
It almost does not matter how crappy any of the S&V sets are, the gem rates are so low compared to those of the S&S sets, that all the S&V sealed product will likely perform very well… so stock up while the prices are still cheap.
It definitely matters how good the sets are. It doesn't really matter how hard it is to get a 10. More moonbreons than charizards but yet still more popular. Also the sir are extensive easy to grade. Only some of the illustration rares are hard to grade
Agree with most other then TM, I think the art is fantastic on the illustration rares, and the geometric style on others is really cool. 151 is still the best art though.
@@PokeBeardTCG Do you think it's a big problem? Some people will only care about hit rates, so SIR will be their chase, whereas I prefer the art so get to chase the mid board (which is much easier). I think it bolsters the set as a whole, plus the SIRs art is still really good. It's the gold cards that are awful in this one 😅
@ruthersplat I do. People dont want to spend hundreds opening for cheap illustration rares they can buy for a quarter of the price. I still think this set is solid. It's just definitely one of the worst S&V sets. The ogerpon art isn't good at all, and it's the mascot of the set.
I agree about twilight masquerade. Looks like a weak set. If the cards are playable that may help the card values for a while, but for collectors it’s pretty lackluster.
Another amazing video as usual! I did literally empty my savings on LO cases and BS because FOMO was going through the roof, I'll end up looking like an idiot in a few years or a smart investor : )
I think TM will be better than people think. Personally i think the Greninja looks great. It is quite hard to judge a few of the SV sets until we have the full era to reflect on. A lot of people slept on CR and FS until very recently. I think the same will happen with likes of TF and TM.
Your take on kids aged 8 to 13 and their view on SV couldn't be more spot on. My 6 yr old daughter gets bored looking at her mothers Base master set, but can't get enough of my Paldea Evolved binder. That and Scarlet and Violet just became the 3rd highest grossing pokemon game of all time. I know where my 401k money is going.....
General rule of thumb in investing its best to diversify. But I always go for buy low to sell high. Buy Japanese 151 Scarlett and Violet, crown zenith, pradox rift and Paldea evolved. Imo crown zenith and 151 Japanese are so cheap right now and these set of cards are amazing. I can’t stress that enough.
I think the issue i have with lost, cz, and brilliant to a lesser extent is everyone is doing those plays. Good sets but almost to much supply for the demand especially cz. With what heppene with fusion and chilling people wernt ready but the other two people saw coming. I still think the plays are paldea, paradox, temporal, fusion, silver and to a lesser extent and brilliant. But in the long run most of these will do well.
Celebrations was really fun to set collect at the time it came out and I really thought it would have some investment power but my thoughts on that set have changed dramatically especially after everything you mentioned....with that ugly Pikachu symbol it feels like a Mcdonalds set to me now Lol
Personally every new set right now I would just buy a case of since you can currently get a case of twilight, rift and temp forces for like $700… A CASE!! Fast forward 2-3 years and each set will have exploded to $200-$300 a box and ppl will be scrambling for cash to get their hands on it
@@PokeBeardTCG I told a friend of mine to get what he can for what he wants and then just start where we are. Chalk up the past as a loss and learn from itn
Am trying to get the Paldean fates master set. I collect shinies in game. Less of a. Money thing for me. ( with this set ) I love code cards too. Play the tcg.
@@PokeBeardTCG haha I hear you. I like an unhealthy amount of the cards in PF tho. I’ve honestly never opened hidden fates. My gf has tho. But thanks for the input !
Considering every single S/V booster box is under 100 bucks, excluding paldea, snagging a box of any of them will return profit and hold value. Look at sword and shield, most boxes were selling under 100 when they were releasing, and they’ve SKYROCKETED since. I’m a sealed collector myself, and even though I enjoyed opening sw/sh more, as a sealed collector i think S/V will hold more value overtime because there’s just SO MUCH to pull in comparison
My brother in chirst. Look at the 20th anniversary generations set and tell Me why they were going for $800 a both when celebrations was out. Those boxes are $600 today. Pokemon is wild theres things that you can predict like evolving skies because the set is killer. And then Theres sets like evolutions and generations which go up but the sets are nothing to write home about
@@userofsharingan I don't know where you're getting your prices from but the #2 card isn't $15. Charizard is $60, flareon is $40, sylveon is $30, gardevoir, pikachu and the other sylveon are $20. I also don't know what point you're trying to make.
I agree with literally everything on this list minus 1 set, Paldean fates. It’s way better than that. Just my opinion. Oh and that Greninja from twilight Mask is a massive sleeper.
I really liked this presentation. I think you should do it monthly. Every time you talk about twilight mascarade, I start laughing because I can tell you passionately dislike the set. I really hope I can save some money soon to buy a case of the Paldea evolved before it goes higher. I know there will be a reprint but people want to buy first print of items and if I can get them at 100 a box or lower, it’s perfect.
Usually pretty much agree with you on everything but chilling reign is EASILY the best set from sword and shield behind evolving skies.. look at all the alt arts in the set the art works and pokemon are great in the set and its a little bigger of a set like evolving skies and don’t get me wrong fusion is in 3rd just for the fact of its missing a little substance it should have had a couple more alts in the set but evolving skies/chilling reign/fusion are the top 3 in my option and have all 3 completed master sets and lost and brilliant and celebrations had to make sure I had all the best sets from the area completed and in perfect condition tucked away
More isn't always better. The people have spoken. They like fusion strike more. Chilling reign has been out of stock for a long time, and it still can't surpass fusion. If they weren't galarian birds it wouldn't even be comparable. Chilling is pretty gen 8 heavy. Fusion is basically the first 3 generations. New pokemon will never beat old pokemon
@@PokeBeardTCGso true man, everything will obviously go up by something but theres just some sets where you notice people go crazier than ever over and they’re the gems to watch out for
Probably shouldn't recommend people to spend ANY money on like 80% of these products. Focus on what's actual WORTH time and money. I get your going through the list but isn't Vivid Voltager like 120-130, there's no growth. AR come in every BB too. Rebel Clash? Nothing really in that either. Shining Fates, it STILL available on PKC, people have WALL full of them, it WILL hurt you if you buy into that LOL
I also said that 10 times it's great for people's collections only. Remember, on my channel, we're fans first, collectors second, and investors third. Not everybody only cares about money.
@Dilemma009 Yea putting collecting and investing in the title is too long and would also screw up the thumbnail. Ohh so you didn't watch it? Cuz I also said if you don't have much money, definitely stick to just a couple of popular sets. I'm really not sure what you're complaining about?
@@PokeBeardTCG I didnt watch, how would I Know that you literally tell people shining fates is an basically "okay" set to invest in. If you knew better you'd say "go ahead and open it for under MSRP, but stay away" thats my point its just inaccurate information being passed on.
@Dilemma009 you clearly didn't pay attention to the video at all. I never said that. I literally said I don't think this set will do very well down the road and would be okay to pick up just for your collection since everything is so cheap. You say if I knew better, I would say open it for under msrp. When we were literally not even talking about opening anything lol. I would also never recommend anyone open shining fates ever. So no, there was no inaccurate information going on. You just didn't pay attention. And Just so you know, I've made more from rebel clash and S&S than any set besides evolving skies.
You disagree with 80% lol? So what's in your top? That's why I said paradox rift is a hot take. If you look at every set in S&V paradox has the best variety of all different generation pokemon.
Lost origin, crown zenith, 151, evolving skies, and fusion strike at the top Brilliant Stars, chilling reign, Paldea evolved, silver tempest, astral radiance and my hot take would be Temporal forces as my buy a case (I believe in it long term) Scarlet violet, Paldean fates, champions path Masquerade (only because it hasn't came out yet, I agree with the arts, not a huge fan either) paradox rift, obsidian flames, and celebrations The rest at the bottom for me
@nickrose4364 so you're buying cases of evolving skies booster boxes at $700 a booster box, and you're also buying fusion strike cases at $250 a booster box? I doubt it. That's why I didn't put them at the top. Of course, they're way better sets, but im going off of current prices.
Big 3 radiant cards, alt art mewtwo, peelable ditto cards, based off of the most popular phone Game of all time. It's still not great but I think it might do better then what people think
@PHOKI1NG right now. You never know what's gonna happen in the future. Nobody wanted lost origin, fusion strike, and brilliant stars until they started moving. I can name hundreds of cards that nobody wanted for a long time that are now super popular. If you think pokemon go is that bad, it proves you're pretty new to pokemon because there are so many more worst sets than pokemon Go.
I couldn't possibly be able to disagree more with your opinion on Twilight Masquerade. I personally feel that because of the tcg popularity of the mask cards, fact that greninja is basically the newer generations Charizard and applin, dipplin, larion, chim, growlithe and pinsir. You focused way way way to much on your personal dislikes and likes when that isn't what this is supposed to be about. You don't like the art? And? Art isn't everything when it comes to pokemon value as a lot comes from the TCG and what is able to perform well. Also. Please watch your video again and listen to amount of focus that you put into your personal feelings towards the art. You could also change the title to "Best to invest into based on art" or something like it. When making investments and making decisions based on money you really should try keep emotions out of it. Also I say this from the stance of someone who likes you and your content normally lol.
As someone who basically reads comments for a living. The number of people that say they dont like the ogerpon sirs are out of this world. They are also not even that good for the tcg, greninja has the crown that i haven't heard one person say they liked. Everybody hates the crowns. Question for you. So what do you base a cards value on after it's rotated out?.... It's art, rarity, and the popularity of the pokemon lol. Which is what I'm doing in this video, lol. It could be the best card ever for the tcg and it won't be worth anything after it's rotated out. You dont make any sense. This is literally the definition of a tier list, lol. My personal opinion on these cards. We're also getting a better greninja as a promo soon. Also, look at what you mentioned for card examples. Does that beat paradox rift with groudon, yveltal, or evolved with raichu, tyranitar and magikarp?
@PokeBeardTCG I suppose it's a more realistic illustration but it's also the follow up scene from swsh261, to me it seems like there's 4 zard alts - I would not be happy if they did a lugia upc
@@PokeBeardTCG no it's not worse than those but to rank it so highly is absurd. Vivid Voltage Pikachu doesn't have the strength of a Burning Shadows Charizard lol It's not even in the same stratosphere. It's simply not worth opening the set when there is ONE mediocre chase lol
Despite being printed to the moon Crown Zenith will ALWAYS be fun to open and eventually sealed will dwindle. To put Crown Zenith and Vivid Voltage in the same category takes away all credibility
@jamesgraves9858 that's where you don't know what you're talking about. We're not talking about opening the set lol. There are so many sets with literally 1-3 chase cards that are worth $50 and less that the boxes are worth a ton. I also never said it was similar to the zard lol. Nostalgia rules all. This is the most expensive pikachu released in the tcg since gold star and the 2nd most expensive rainbow in the entire Swsh era. Tens of thousands of people started back up with vivid voltage. That's where I think it's okay to take a chance on a few booster boxes.

All S&V sets will do okay

I'm stocking up on this set too Mew is one of my favorite pokemon and gengar is very popular
I agree I like paradox rift
Do you reckon the Japanese VStar Universe cards will also see a rise?
Idk Japanese is struggling right now
The bird line came bc zard ex deck goes with it
So which set do you think i should invest in overall? Im looking to buy a case. (My budget is around $700)
Brilliant stars before it sells out on PC
General rule of thumb in investing its best to diversify.
But I always go for buy low to sell high. Buy Japanese 151 Scarlett and Violet, crown zenith, pradox rift and Paldea evolved.
Imo crown zenith and 151 Japanese are so cheap right now and these set of cards are amazing. I can’t stress that enough.
I think the issue i have with lost, cz, and brilliant to a lesser extent is everyone is doing those plays. Good sets but almost to much supply for the demand especially cz. With what heppene with fusion and chilling people wernt ready but the other two people saw coming. I still think the plays are paldea, paradox, temporal, fusion, silver and to a lesser extent and brilliant. But in the long run most of these will do well.
Yep, it's for sure gonna take longer than before.
If the booster boxes are too expensive go for the ETBs
Yep
Celebrations was really fun to set collect at the time it came out and I really thought it would have some investment power but my thoughts on that set have changed dramatically especially after everything you mentioned....with that ugly Pikachu symbol it feels like a Mcdonalds set to me now Lol
Yea when you really look at it. It's not that great
Crown zenith has like the best artwork
Agreed
Personally every new set right now I would just buy a case of since you can currently get a case of twilight, rift and temp forces for like $700… A CASE!! Fast forward 2-3 years and each set will have exploded to $200-$300 a box and ppl will be scrambling for cash to get their hands on it
100%. Especially sets that people don't want right now. Which is why I love paradox rift.
@@PokeBeardTCG I told a friend of mine to get what he can for what he wants and then just start where we are. Chalk up the past as a loss and learn from itn
Am trying to get the Paldean fates master set. I collect shinies in game. Less of a. Money thing for me. ( with this set ) I love code cards too. Play the tcg.
I recommend collecting hidden fates then
@@PokeBeardTCG haha I hear you. I like an unhealthy amount of the cards in PF tho. I’ve honestly never opened hidden fates. My gf has tho. But thanks for the input !
So if you could only buy one booster box. Which one would it be?
Great question. This might be in my next what if Wednesday
Considering every single S/V booster box is under 100 bucks, excluding paldea, snagging a box of any of them will return profit and hold value.
Look at sword and shield, most boxes were selling under 100 when they were releasing, and they’ve SKYROCKETED since. I’m a sealed collector myself, and even though I enjoyed opening sw/sh more, as a sealed collector i think S/V will hold more value overtime because there’s just SO MUCH to pull in comparison
I went too heavy in Celebrations 😿.
It's okay. It's just gonna take some time.
My brother in chirst. Look at the 20th anniversary generations set and tell
Me why they were going for $800 a both when celebrations was out. Those boxes are $600 today. Pokemon is wild theres things that you can predict like evolving skies because the set is killer. And then Theres sets like evolutions and generations which go up but the sets are nothing to write home about
Everything in pokemon did that. It was the boom. Generations is a great set.
@@PokeBeardTCG the chase card in the set is $60 and the #2 is $15. You can master the set for less than the price of one ETB.
@@userofsharingan incorrect. Generations has a radiant collection also
@@PokeBeardTCG I included them. The radiant collection is less than $200 with the evees making the bulk. The main set is also about $200.
@@userofsharingan I don't know where you're getting your prices from but the #2 card isn't $15. Charizard is $60, flareon is $40, sylveon is $30, gardevoir, pikachu and the other sylveon are $20. I also don't know what point you're trying to make.
I agree with literally everything on this list minus 1 set, Paldean fates. It’s way better than that. Just my opinion. Oh and that Greninja from twilight Mask is a massive sleeper.
Yea I did say I want to move it up to invest in a case.
Let’s go beard! I’m growing a beard haha
Do it up!
@@PokeBeardTCG will do! Do you like dragon ball too?! Or just pokemon tcg?!
Temporal over paradox
You never know
LOL “Don’t actually empty your savings account.”
You never know lol. Some people take what I say very serious sometimes haha
I really liked this presentation. I think you should do it monthly. Every time you talk about twilight mascarade, I start laughing because I can tell you passionately dislike the set. I really hope I can save some money soon to buy a case of the Paldea evolved before it goes higher. I know there will be a reprint but people want to buy first print of items and if I can get them at 100 a box or lower, it’s perfect.
Yea, I get heated every time i talk about it lol.
@@PokeBeardTCG I love it!
Looks like you're going to dislike Twilight even more as app they've pulled the Loyal 3 cards, likely either for the 6.5 set or promos.
Wow that's rough. I did find it weird they were in this set
“It reminds me of a crappy prime card” 😂😭
😂😂
Yeah spot on. Twighlight masquerade is so unappealing. Waste of a set
Agreed
Oh crap I just emptied my savings!
😂
You're picks are always different then what's the "trend" setters say are the best
That's cuz it's my own opinion and I don't copy what everyone else is doing. Thanks for watching
Challenge collect base set in 1 week no buying just trading
I have base set complete a few times over
Noice
I bought 4 etb os Brilliant Stars for 35 apeice
Not bad
Battle Styles
I love it
Silver tempest up to empty the savings
Solid set
I thought you are CYBERKNIGHT 😂
😂
ONLY S&V set ive enjoyed is 151. Way to much ultra modern tinkastinks with crowns n that for my liking so far
Then you would be considered a gen wunner
@@PokeBeardTCG gen 1 and 2 ❤️
Where are people buying cases? 😅
Your local card store
Usually pretty much agree with you on everything but chilling reign is EASILY the best set from sword and shield behind evolving skies.. look at all the alt arts in the set the art works and pokemon are great in the set and its a little bigger of a set like evolving skies and don’t get me wrong fusion is in 3rd just for the fact of its missing a little substance it should have had a couple more alts in the set but evolving skies/chilling reign/fusion are the top 3 in my option and have all 3 completed master sets and lost and brilliant and celebrations had to make sure I had all the best sets from the area completed and in perfect condition tucked away
More isn't always better. The people have spoken. They like fusion strike more. Chilling reign has been out of stock for a long time, and it still can't surpass fusion. If they weren't galarian birds it wouldn't even be comparable. Chilling is pretty gen 8 heavy. Fusion is basically the first 3 generations. New pokemon will never beat old pokemon
All I heard was invest in all of them 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Anything new isn’t worth much !! Anything old sells pretty good !!! The game is pretty simple 🙄
Tell that to evolving skies lol. Worth more than almost every sun and moon set and half of x&y.
@@PokeBeardTCGso true man, everything will obviously go up by something but theres just some sets where you notice people go crazier than ever over and they’re the gems to watch out for
I’ve recently made a big investment in sealed vaporeon, jolteon and flareon vmax boxes as they were slept on a bit and they’re so beautiful
Everything new turns to old at some point bro.
Paldean Fates came in clutch for me. Some gold cards. Special Illustration Mew. Charizard. Baby shiny pikachu too.
Is this man colourblind ? 😂
Probably shouldn't recommend people to spend ANY money on like 80% of these products.
Focus on what's actual WORTH time and money. I get your going through the list but isn't Vivid Voltager like 120-130, there's no growth. AR come in every BB too. Rebel Clash? Nothing really in that either. Shining Fates, it STILL available on PKC, people have WALL full of them, it WILL hurt you if you buy into that LOL
I also said that 10 times it's great for people's collections only. Remember, on my channel, we're fans first, collectors second, and investors third. Not everybody only cares about money.
@@PokeBeardTCG Just basing off the title. "best to invest in"
@Dilemma009 Yea putting collecting and investing in the title is too long and would also screw up the thumbnail. Ohh so you didn't watch it? Cuz I also said if you don't have much money, definitely stick to just a couple of popular sets. I'm really not sure what you're complaining about?
@@PokeBeardTCG I didnt watch, how would I Know that you literally tell people shining fates is an basically "okay" set to invest in.
If you knew better you'd say "go ahead and open it for under MSRP, but stay away"
thats my point its just inaccurate information being passed on.
@Dilemma009 you clearly didn't pay attention to the video at all. I never said that. I literally said I don't think this set will do very well down the road and would be okay to pick up just for your collection since everything is so cheap. You say if I knew better, I would say open it for under msrp. When we were literally not even talking about opening anything lol. I would also never recommend anyone open shining fates ever. So no, there was no inaccurate information going on. You just didn't pay attention. And Just so you know, I've made more from rebel clash and S&S than any set besides evolving skies.
Cz wins all
Your grading scale is wild bro!!! I disagree with 80% of this. Still love the content though
Biggest disagreement is p. Rift at the top??? 😳 No....
You disagree with 80% lol? So what's in your top? That's why I said paradox rift is a hot take. If you look at every set in S&V paradox has the best variety of all different generation pokemon.
Lost origin, crown zenith, 151, evolving skies, and fusion strike at the top
Brilliant Stars, chilling reign, Paldea evolved, silver tempest, astral radiance and my hot take would be Temporal forces as my buy a case (I believe in it long term)
Scarlet violet, Paldean fates, champions path
Masquerade (only because it hasn't came out yet, I agree with the arts, not a huge fan either) paradox rift, obsidian flames, and celebrations
The rest at the bottom for me
By the way I'm completely on board with you and crown zenith. I believe other than 151 it's going to be an amazing set to hold on to
@nickrose4364 so you're buying cases of evolving skies booster boxes at $700 a booster box, and you're also buying fusion strike cases at $250 a booster box? I doubt it. That's why I didn't put them at the top. Of course, they're way better sets, but im going off of current prices.
Why is POGO not garbage?
Big 3 radiant cards, alt art mewtwo, peelable ditto cards, based off of the most popular phone Game of all time. It's still not great but I think it might do better then what people think
@@PokeBeardTCG No demand for any of those cards
@PHOKI1NG right now. You never know what's gonna happen in the future. Nobody wanted lost origin, fusion strike, and brilliant stars until they started moving. I can name hundreds of cards that nobody wanted for a long time that are now super popular. If you think pokemon go is that bad, it proves you're pretty new to pokemon because there are so many more worst sets than pokemon Go.
I couldn't possibly be able to disagree more with your opinion on Twilight Masquerade. I personally feel that because of the tcg popularity of the mask cards, fact that greninja is basically the newer generations Charizard and applin, dipplin, larion, chim, growlithe and pinsir. You focused way way way to much on your personal dislikes and likes when that isn't what this is supposed to be about. You don't like the art? And? Art isn't everything when it comes to pokemon value as a lot comes from the TCG and what is able to perform well. Also. Please watch your video again and listen to amount of focus that you put into your personal feelings towards the art. You could also change the title to "Best to invest into based on art" or something like it. When making investments and making decisions based on money you really should try keep emotions out of it.
Also I say this from the stance of someone who likes you and your content normally lol.
As someone who basically reads comments for a living. The number of people that say they dont like the ogerpon sirs are out of this world. They are also not even that good for the tcg, greninja has the crown that i haven't heard one person say they liked. Everybody hates the crowns. Question for you. So what do you base a cards value on after it's rotated out?.... It's art, rarity, and the popularity of the pokemon lol. Which is what I'm doing in this video, lol. It could be the best card ever for the tcg and it won't be worth anything after it's rotated out. You dont make any sense. This is literally the definition of a tier list, lol. My personal opinion on these cards. We're also getting a better greninja as a promo soon. Also, look at what you mentioned for card examples. Does that beat paradox rift with groudon, yveltal, or evolved with raichu, tyranitar and magikarp?
I can't believe he didn't put evolving skies at the top xP
It's not a ranking of the best set. It's the best sets to invest in
My thing is, how do people have money to constantly dump money into pokemon cards 😂😂 they still giving out pandemic money to yall?
We just get cards instead of going out a bunch
bs alt art zard is overrated
How is it overrated? Can you name me a better looking charizard card?
@PokeBeardTCG the upc zards are way better, so is the rainbow vstar
@kingslayya6876 I strongly disagree. The brilliant stars is the most realistic charizard that's actually in battle with venusaur. It's not even close.
@PokeBeardTCG I suppose it's a more realistic illustration but it's also the follow up scene from swsh261, to me it seems like there's 4 zard alts
- I would not be happy if they did a lugia upc
Wtf are these colours😂
Vivid voltage was garbage
Was it worse than darkness ablaze? Rebel clash? Sword and shield base?
Vivid Voltage. No. Just no.
Is it worse than sword and shield? Rebel clash? Darkness Ablaze?
@@PokeBeardTCG no it's not worse than those but to rank it so highly is absurd. Vivid Voltage Pikachu doesn't have the strength of a Burning Shadows Charizard lol It's not even in the same stratosphere. It's simply not worth opening the set when there is ONE mediocre chase lol
Despite being printed to the moon Crown Zenith will ALWAYS be fun to open and eventually sealed will dwindle. To put Crown Zenith and Vivid Voltage in the same category takes away all credibility
@jamesgraves9858 that's where you don't know what you're talking about. We're not talking about opening the set lol. There are so many sets with literally 1-3 chase cards that are worth $50 and less that the boxes are worth a ton. I also never said it was similar to the zard lol. Nostalgia rules all. This is the most expensive pikachu released in the tcg since gold star and the 2nd most expensive rainbow in the entire Swsh era. Tens of thousands of people started back up with vivid voltage. That's where I think it's okay to take a chance on a few booster boxes.
@jamesgraves9858 are you drunk dude. I didn't put them in the same category.
Im 30 years old and loved Pokémon when i was Younger. Havent spend a thought on Pokémon in 15 years and a couple of months Ago i found your page and know im in love with Pokémon again and have bought my first boxes! ( silver Tempest & 151 japanese) Thank you!
Cheers from Sweden
That's awesome! Thanks for watching
