      Probably all of these mega youtubers who are opening the extremely expensive packs. They’re probably investing in all of the less expensive packs while getting everyone back into pokemon. The kids who watch people like Logan Paul or whoever are probably asking their parents for cards, and those same parents grew up collecting cards when they were kids in the 90’s or early 2000’s and want to get back into it themselves, so the demand is just skyrocketing. I really wouldn’t be surprised if mega youtubers were secretly invested in the smaller packs.

    I doubt Rudy will see this but I think the answer to the cause of this is breakers, breaking, box breaks etc. I know for Magic that is now pretty much gone, but for sports and Pokemon the break craze has absolutely skyrocketed. With this skyrocket means mass buying up of product. Breakers are fine with prices going up. As long as they know they will make more money than what they're paying (the actual sealed product, shipping, packing etc.) they will keep buying it up. Even with Pokemon reprints right now breakers and social media craze means this product is not staying sealed. Sure some people keep it sealed even just hobby enthusiasts, but a LOT of people are opening these products en masse.

    before I even watch this: I'm in Australia. I looked at some decks I bought in 2017 and everything was cheap and worthless. $6 a deck, even for the Legendary Decks. No one wanted them. Now? Everything is $20-25 a deck. This isn't even mentioning the other product. It was like it was been given away in 2017 and now everythings gone up and sold out Pokemon wise. I remember I could've bought Evolutions XY Booster Boxes in Australia for like $109 AUD when the default price here is $220 AUD. Now that same box is $300+ AUD and selling which is even more confusing. It was considered overprinted trash only 3 years ago.

    This is the area of cardboard collecting I'm actually familiar with and yeah these prices are very fishy. Just a few months ago you could of bought all of these sets under $100 but someone is certainly buying this product up and stockpiling it. We are seeing it the most with the Hidden Fates set (similar to Generations). People have been buying this set at double MSRP or more since it's release. The elite trainer boxes went from $55 to $200+ just because it has not been reprinted while the tins sell at $20 MSRP and sell them online all day at $40. It's madness incarnate.

    I don't know about old products, but newer products are limited supply. Most card shops get just a few boxes which get sold out super fast as cards are like drugs for children.
    Maybe those stores sell old card packs because they don't have newer ones anymore?

    I wonder if the companies themselves buy them back then hold them till they rocket back up then sell them slowly

    Pokemon's been under priced for a long time now. You could buy base set holos for a few bucks. That's what was insane.

    The multiple times he tossed packs on the ground or tossed them back into the box made me cringe so hard thinking of the psa value that was lost. That said I do enjoy your channel Rudy and I am doing a ton of studying before I open my store as well as build up inventory. I want to retire and sell cards as my career (chasing childhood dream) and then pass the business onto my 6 kids. Keep up the informative vids and I wish you well. Also I have only focused around Pokemon but I hear you talk a lot about magic and how the price seems to only go up for it so should I be gathering inventory of Magic as well right now or is that market to tough for starter ups?

    There is a video floating around somewhere in which The *actual* Pokémon Company explains how they develop cards for the TCG.
    Watching the video explains *EXACTLY* why the card game is a radioactive toxic waste disposal site fire.

    did well with YGO & Legendary Duelists, got cocky and decided to try another game. Got burned really not knowing the demand of it. Wasted a few thousands of dollars on a Weiss set people really didn't want. Hard to diversify to other games.

      Same here to a certain degree. I mainly do Magic and Pokemon. Tried to do YGO. Legendary Duelists are slowly ticking up in price (happy about), Korean version of the "vintage" sets and Speed Duels are dead money at the moment. Should've placed the money elsewhere instead of YGO in my case.

      @@rogertruong5751 ygo is selling better than both mtg and pkmn at the moment. But you have to be deeply familiar with the game and have certain experience. Card texts are longer,hundreds of aechetypes, not to mention a very long anime makes ygo hard to fully grasp. Korean sets are always going to be disregarded since they are legaly only in korea and have censored art.

      ​@@501clonetrooper The only reason why I picked out Korean versions is for the nostalgia factor and Speed Duels for old school simplicity (thought there would be like-minded individuals out there but I'm wrong on that part).
      True. I see Legendary Duelists starting to creep up alongside with Rising Rampage (first print of prismatic secret rares). Those in which I'm happy about.

      @@rogertruong5751 I bought Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel and Sword Art Online Alicization. 8 boxes each. Fate/Stay Night was an okay investment. Solid S Tier set. Alicization unfortunately not that good. I thought since SAO was airing and it was very popular anime, I thought Alicization was a good pick up. Turns out the set was underwhelming and people would rather buy Goblin Slayer or Fujimi. Also Weiss Schwarz was just way too expensive for casuals to get into. Very few players played it, and usually newer sets were stronger than current ones.
      My LGS still has cases of Alicization. Weiss just doesn't reprint to make it accessible, as a result, very few people cared. Stores barely buylisted Weiss. I stopped buying Weiss after that, and probably never will now that YGO got bigger. Also Weiss sets sort of powercreep old sets. No one is buying Accel World 2day.
      YGO basically has no set rotation, so cards are kind of always useful. The commons are very central cards and are pretty powerful in YGO. in Weiss, the commons are kind of worthless. Legendary Duelists take very long to reprint, not many vendors opened, and had very desireable deck cores. Reprint sets are also good. YGO has hundreds of archetypes and 5 anime series so it takes time to understand and grasp it. Not to hate on Pkmn, but set rotation I believed killed demand for X/Y sets.
