@PokeTroy1 solid besides base being last lol. I swear people dont actually look at the sets and only go by value. Please explain how shrouded and Obsidian beats base set with less sirs and less irs? Or do you think the loyal 3 are more popular them miraidon, koraidon, and gardevoir? Or the worst zard in the era, ugly pidgeot, revavroom and eiscue?
@@PokeBeardTCG not a fan of S&V base, the only cards I like in that set is the gardevoir line and the great tusk ex and I guess the Riolu is cool…not a fan of the miraidon or the koraidon…Obsidian got the Charizard which in my opinion is underrated and they also got an super underrated Ninetails. They got a few other fire cards like cleffa, houndour, scizor, lechonk and gloom…as for shrouded that houndoom and Persian are 🔥🔥 super underrated and I also like the cufant, and the Cassiopeia…even the munkidori IR in the trees is nicer then most the cards in S&V base in my opinion lol
@PokeTroy1 Base has drowzee, slowpoke, riolu, ralts, kirlia, dondonzo, tarantula with the scyther that goes with the sir and double the amount of irs as Obsidian and shrouded. Im just guessing you just don't like gen 9 pokemon too much?
@@PokeBeardTCGI like base but nobody else does and that's all that matters for investment speculation. It will go up no doubt but so will pokemon go, whether it likes it or not
Surging sparks will maybe the most succesful investment in the long run because it will be in the shadows of prismatic and underrated from the beginning
I think surging sparks isn’t that great and will be somewhere around decent after the hype dies down. Prismatic evolutions is going to be the set to invest in.
Calling Shrouded Fable is unfathomable to me, not only is it super cheap, it is one of the most playable sets of recent times. Warped the meta completely. The cards will see play for years and even past then in expanded formats.
Just picked up an ETB for $60 on Pokemon Center before watching this video. This is the only thing giving me hope at the moment, as this is my first box / pack to be opened in the hobby haha
It’s going to be another Costco exclusive. It’s going to be scalped in 3 hrs max, in every single store. It will be like it never existed for most people.
A very solid assessment just in my opinion. I think Obsidian is a little better than people give it credit for so it was nice to see it get a little bit of love from an investment standpoint as the ETB is lovely. Prismatic looks all of that and more right now - we will have to see but it could be immense. The FOMO is strong with this one.............thanks Beard, great video and you have made me happy as you referred to a lot of products that are in my sealed collection so hopefully we have called it right and in time they will become strong performers. Although sadly as a collector i dont like letting things go. I know, I know.
I think that Temporal Forces is so devalued by many people at this moment that the Koraidon promo cards that were given in purchases are going up in price, especially the European version and the Australian version, both are above 20 dollars in tcg player
My prediction for Prismatic Evolutions is that there will be 2 SIR’s per Eeveelution - 1 tera, and 1 regular form. I’d like to think that the PC would be at least somewhat aware that not everyone likes the crowns, and with it being an Eevee set, provide fans with 2 arts per. That would take care of just over half of the 32 SIR’s in the set and leave an ample amount for other Pokemon and trainers. Paldean Fates has definitely been slept on, but it is bloated with baby shinies. They’re cool, don’t get me wrong. I just think there are way too many.
@@PokeBeardTCG I’m glad you think so, though I may be barking up the wrong tree entirely. It only makes sense to me just because of how popular ES was and how much it’s appreciated in value - with it being out of print, Pokemon Company are not really making any money off of it anymore, just investors and collectors. So it would make sense for them to create new Eeveelution chase cards for a special set that won’t have booster boxes, but a TON of smaller products being drip released throughout next year. And they’d be crazy to only do tera SIR’s for the Eeveelutions, so if they do both, people will absolutely keep throwing money at this set in a bunch of different formats to pull those chase cards. Not to mention all the promo cards they’ll make - if those are also unique arts…
@@ThomDumdust right, seems the pokemon company is steering the market to high margin products at MSRP they distribute directly while avoiding booster boxes, almost like they are in a business to make profit and not speculation like we are doing.
@@TropicalMint808 I’m not speculating their tactics as a business. I mean, they do this with every special set 🤷♂️ This one is just particularly interesting to think about as it’s an Eevee-centric set. It doesn’t bother me that they’re doing it this way, it’s a smart move. It was more of a speculation on the content of the massive amount of SIR’s in the set.
Prismatic evolution all day. Some retailers are listing the standard etb already. Getting these now under £50 are a must even if they’re not PC ones. I think £100 even for the standard after 12 months release is almost nailed on.
Some of these sets had better promos than others as well with pre-release, etc. Pokemon center snorlax, charmander are top tier imo also like the pikachu from paldea evolved is very nice to
I’ve always felt 151’s biggest mistake was not giving us a Gengar ex SIR and Dragonite ex SIR/Lapras IR. they didn’t even give Gengar a sir in the set he’s literally featured in. Also shouldve given us new red and blue cards. Imagine a SIR Red or SIR Blue in 151 it woulda been nuclear. Last thing, feel inclined to hate on the surging sparks SIR lineup, giving us Durant and archaludon(which is the worst alt art of all time) over black kyurem and flygon SIRs is a joke
I totally agree and yea that's why I barely mentioned them. But having pikachu, milotic, latias, and exeggutor is a pretty big deal. I definitely wish we would have gotten a flygon.
I think obsidian flames would have been an awesome opportunity for them to make that sets Dragonite ex an SIR. Then again they dropped the ball on Gengar then Flygon and Kyurem 😢
@@GBCRoy I said the same thing when I saw Tera dragonite on the box I thought we were absolutely gonna get a twin headed dragon of a set with zard and dnite together. But all we got was a Tera ex🥲
@@PokeBeardTCG yeah for sure the surging sparks sir lineup is imo the best in all of sv so far. I was just speaking in terms of it being slightly better I think kyurem and flygon would’ve been absolutely crazy. I’ll still take a milotic, Pikachu, hydreigon and Latias lineup regardless
Restocks are usually around 8:00 a.m. on Pokémon Center website. Start watching the new release page. Refresh it a few hours and see when new items pop up.
Paldean Fates is one of my favorites!! I wish Pokémon would do Secret rares after a few months or years. You know, to increase the amount of new cards for "old sets" and make them to circulate more. Printing some booster bundles that have the possibility to pull the new cards they have created and also previous ones.
I do agree that Obsidian Flames isn´t the best set. But, it´s still a Charizard set and unlike bad Charizard sets, it has a good Charizard chase card. Don´t overlook it.
@ just growing in my investing while ur channel continues to grow my man. My returns from scarlet and violet are gonna be way better than sword and shield, I got in at the end of sword and shield and I’m trynna do it right
Obsidian flames underrated to me. I love stellar crown, paldean fates, 151 my 3 favorites and prismatic evolutions is gonna be sick. Surging sparks is pretty cool
My favorite has gotta be Paldean Fates, it was the main reason I got back to collecting pokemon cards. I like the idea of me wanting to collect all of the shiny's because it feels like I'm shiny hunting.
I only disagree with the placement of Temporal because of the low hit rate, anyone who loves Gen 9 and will be chasing those SIR/IRs will rip tons of booster boxes to get their chases, it’s very hard to get a specific SIR in that set and I think that’s gonna help the sealed price Another PokeBeard banger
Just bought a booster box of OBF Twilight Temporal And stellar Temporal is one of my personal favorites as I think it’s definitely top 5 in sets released so far with Paldea being my top set that I have a master collection for!!! So stoked for the future lol!
I just snapped up a bunch of stellar crown boxes at 105 shipped and they've already hit a floor of 120 on tcgplayer I think your evaluation of all sets are correct, but I wanna remind people even a "decent" or "good" set of sealed pokemon is usually pretty insane vs just about all other asset classes
From investing standpoint i say to myself, what do my kids (same age as me when it all started) and their friends associate with. And to me that is the gen 9 pokemon. Obviously you have the "mascots" pikachu, charizard, etc, but if looking long term the kids today will most associate with a non-Ash era of pokemon
Hey man! First time commenting and would like to say that your videos have been a lifesaver, hearing you rationalise how you feel towards certain sets and why has helped me a ton in understanding the market and the consumer’s mindset. One side of the hobby that I enjoy the most is getting singles graded and selling them. What are your views on this investment strategy? All the best mate and thank you for your efforts, you’re now part of my routine! 😁
I really enjoy these videos! Im a gen 1-4 fan only for the most part. After gen 4 they lost most of their tough looking pokemon to many baby/cute looking pokemon. So with that said im able to invest in these paradox rift and paldea evolved easily becuase i dont have the need wanting to open them! Im storing for the long haul! So Thank You!
Temporal is actually one of my favorite sets, I’m not a big fan of the Pokémon in it tbh but the art is so good that it made me want to collect all the SIRs .
I feel like people are sleeping on Obsidian Flames, personally I love the illustration rare just as much as the Paldean Fates one, but we also get the gold & silver one. Gold is 3 star too. & the Promo one. Besides that the other full arts are also pretty dope. & ther's that Charmander PC 👀
Facts Temp Forces heavily underrated. Crazy artwork and some of the best illustrations we've ever seen. Not the most popular Pokemon but I love this set.
There isn't really a bad set to collect or invest. Some obviously will do better or significantly better. Even Steam Siege has done well considering what it was on release.
I think prismatic is going to be a banger of a set. It was hard to resist the fomo and not pre order some ETBs but when they restock i think i will pull the trigger. Just scored some Shaymin Vstar boxes at a walmart yeaterday hiding in the back so happy about that score. Unfortunately all my costco have paldean tins not 151 even though i see the 151 boxes for sale all over Fb..
Mr. Beard. Great vid. Been looking forward to it since you announced about 2 weeks ago. Very much appreciate your opinion. As for PR product worth investing in, do you like the PC Etb, regular etb or booster box the best? (Or maybe you think a different product) I realize you normally get a few cases of all product but just wanted to know if you were picking one which you would choose? Thank you so much.
@PokeBeardTCG I mean, I trust you, that's why I talk about here in France :) TWM is the least liked set out of all the SV sets in my country, and the box is the less expensive
@@PokeBeardTCG Yeah it's also the case, but in France, we're more watching the entire set, not only 1 or 2 cards These 2 are the only cards liked in the set, which is something bad That's why nobody wants to buy it in France (including myself)
Paldean fates is unrated I think by everyone. The Obsidian Flames Charizard got me back into pokemon when my son pulled it out of one of his first packs. So I am a lil more biased then some towards that set. Lol
The temporal forces art works are just great even tho the Pokémon are the new remakes. I personally like 2 out of the 3 iron variants better than their original
Temp Forces heavily slept on 💯 I disagree with bros take on Temp Forces in this video but to each their own. Personally one of my top 3 favourite sets from SV.
@@PokeBeardTCG iron leaves and iron crown . I never played the games with their originals so I never grew attached to regular cobalion and virizion. The future forms are not super different from the regular ones too unlike the ancient forms
Prismatic Evolutions.. I'm on the fence for investing .... they have already announced a 9 months release schedule of different items... this is going to be available for a long long time!
I love how universally shrouded fable is considered the worst set. From how stellar crown came out like 4 weeks after it to just very mediocre cards in general other than the Persian it’s meme-esque
@MieXuL ill break it down why i like it. Remember this is for long term. 1. First set in pokemon history with silver boarders 2. First set ever with irs and sirs 3. First ever miraidon & koraidon card 4. Miraidon & koraidon are the first legendary pokemon ever that you can use right away in the game that sold more then almost every game. 5. The gardevoir family illustration rare line 6. Most base sets hold great value and this base set is extremely historic and changed pokemon forever with the silver boarders. Even pokemon is all done with ash, and this is the first generation ever where they went super hard with the new pokemon for almost every set.
@PokeBeardTCG thank you for taking the time to write this for me. Ive only been collexting for 6months. I hope it goes up for you, im a fan. I am loadong up on jap 151 when they reprint and surging sparks. I love the latias and pikachu.
Side note they are all now panic selling them for about $75 .... So less than $7.50 a pack. At mine..... walked in Tuesday morning, saw half a pallet of mixed 151 and PF . ME and another guy grabbed 6 boxes or 3 complete sets of 151 and 1 set of PF. Glad I dont go to "those" COSTCO's.
@PokeBeard my Man…. I started pokemon investing about 5 months ago and listened to you… based on your opinion bought 3 cases of paldea evolved cheap…. Now im watching my planted seed growing… literally 😅 Made some bad investments along the way and now im wiser. Anyway Thank You for bringing me back to Pokemon after 20 years 💪
I'm torn. I invested in Silver Tempest because I love it and I think it will sell out soon...but I want to invest some more and I am eyeballing lower cost sets. I can get Stellar Crown BB's at only $99...but half of me wants to just buy more Silver Tempest at $143.
Nooo!!! I literally had just ordered the Shrouded Fable ETB from Pokemon Center for $60! 🤦🏼♂️ Hopefully I make up for it with the Fall 22 and 23 Collector Chests $30./each). Bought a few singles off eBay so figured I should learn before spending too much
I usually have some things to open when my gf comes over, and I just got some paldean fates tins so we opened one up and out of our two packs we got a Bubble Mew and a baby shiney Sneasel. First time opening up Paldean fates. We might need to open up the rest of the tins now 🤣
Temporal forces is way too low, they have the legendary dogs idc if they're different forms theyre still nostalgic to people including myself who grew up with gold /silver games and the show
@MohammedAbdullah-ir9gn They're actually cats, and they are literally my favorite pokemon, and these designs drive me nuts. I have every suicune card ever to exist. And then for irs, they pretty much just have gastly. Which stellar bulbusaur and squirtle destroy that. It's also a way smaller set than paradox and paldea.
@@PokeBeardTCG we called them dogs back in my day. I just got back into collecting and I think they look great. I'm glad the boxes aren't expensive but I would of bought them even if they were going for 200 just due to nostalgia. I'm sure I wont be the only one to do this in the future.
@MohammedAbdullah-ir9gn ohh i know. I've been correcting people on that for like 25 years, lol. And I just dont feel any nostalgia when they are brand new different pokemon. Especially when we got legit arts in crown zenith.
Obsidian flames has easy pull rates and a lot of charizards. Singles prices are low but the fun factor is there. Can’t be the worst
Fates is underrated
Shinny cards are overrated
Yep, I bought a sealed booster bundle case for £160 a few months ago.
@@patescortez88 as an investment for sure otherwise it really just has 3 cards
It sure is.
@@PokeBeardTCG 3 of the most beloved pokemon and like... 40 baby shinies? Ain't no way. As long as it's not printed like shining fates its great.

@@sleepybarun pretty much any chase in any of these SV sets is going to rise - even the OBF zards, the other cards, not as much.

As an investor, I think your list was solid.
Thank you
Personal favorite is Paradox Rift, but I think 151 will be the best investment. We still have another new 151 product coming next year.
100%
It’s going to be another Costco exclusive. It’s going to be scalped in 3 hrs max, in every single store. It will be like it never existed for most people.

You might be right about everything here, but Temporal Forces with the SIR remakes are some of my favorite SV cards.
Great arts just remakes of popular pokemon
I fulfilled a childhood dream today and opened my first booster box of scarlet and violet, got decent hits too
I think that Temporal Forces is so devalued by many people at this moment that the Koraidon promo cards that were given in purchases are going up in price, especially the European version and the Australian version, both are above 20 dollars in tcg player

@@PokeBeardTCG yes definitely! But I watch your videos anyways so I woulda watched it at some point, but that got me immediately 😂
I have to grab some Fates and Fable just to have boxed.
Paldea Evolved is my favorite set other than 151. Love the cards.
I think prismatic is going to be a banger of a set. It was hard to resist the fomo and not pre order some ETBs but when they restock i think i will pull the trigger. Just scored some Shaymin Vstar boxes at a walmart yeaterday hiding in the back so happy about that score. Unfortunately all my costco have paldean tins not 151 even though i see the 151 boxes for sale all over Fb..
For sure
Besides booster boxes, what are other pokemon items are great for investments?
Pokemon center etbs
What do you think of the Chinese 5th anniversary pikachu promo? Do you think it’ll drop in price when released or rise?
I like it
Mr. Beard. Great vid. Been looking forward to it since you announced about 2 weeks ago. Very much appreciate your opinion.
As for PR product worth investing in, do you like the PC Etb, regular etb or booster box the best? (Or maybe you think a different product) I realize you normally get a few cases of all product but just wanted to know if you were picking one which you would choose? Thank you so much.
Pc etb and booster boxes are the best.
First I was able to get my 2 pokemon center etbs of prismatic so thanks. Also do you think pokemon will cast in on this set and print it to hell?
It's possible.
What to do if we missed the prismatic evo drop on pkm center? Wait it out and see if they restock ETBs?
yea, or get binders and or bundles
Yea id definitely grab a few other products just incase
@@PokeBeardTCGhow does Pokemon center work? How often is the restock and is it reliable
Temporal Forces being this low and TWM being than high is absolutely not equivalent to what we have in France xD
@mephisto-- grenija is worth more than every sir in forces and booster box is like 160
@PokeBeardTCG I mean, I trust you, that's why I talk about here in France :)
TWM is the least liked set out of all the SV sets in my country, and the box is the less expensive
@mephisto-- isn't it still the most expensive Sir? And isn't the eevee still one of the most expensive irs?
@@PokeBeardTCG Yeah it's also the case, but in France, we're more watching the entire set, not only 1 or 2 cards
These 2 are the only cards liked in the set, which is something bad
That's why nobody wants to buy it in France (including myself)
Paldean fates is unrated I think by everyone. The Obsidian Flames Charizard got me back into pokemon when my son pulled it out of one of his first packs. So I am a lil more biased then some towards that set. Lol
I appreciate you admitting it at least.
switch 151 with surging sparks.
Surging has more cards and better variety. I do think 151 is a way better investment than surging
151 is the reason why so many people our collecting Pokemon in the scarlet and violet era
For sure
The temporal forces art works are just great even tho the Pokémon are the new remakes. I personally like 2 out of the 3 iron variants better than their original
Which ones?
Temp Forces heavily slept on 💯 I disagree with bros take on Temp Forces in this video but to each their own. Personally one of my top 3 favourite sets from SV.
@@PokeBeardTCG iron leaves and iron crown . I never played the games with their originals so I never grew attached to regular cobalion and virizion. The future forms are not super different from the regular ones too unlike the ancient forms
@@themobbdeep66 yes I did buy a booster box when I was at a show for 115
@binsteez8881 yea they're just slightly different
Prismatic Evolutions.. I'm on the fence for investing .... they have already announced a 9 months release schedule of different items... this is going to be available for a long long time!
Doesn't hurt to preorder at msrp
Why no crown zenith on list?
Great video 🎉
Thank you
Which company does the bulk orders of acrylic cases?
Do all sets have a pretty even pull rate or are some better then others?
I love how universally shrouded fable is considered the worst set. From how stellar crown came out like 4 weeks after it to just very mediocre cards in general other than the Persian it’s meme-esque
Yep
Most of the time i agree with you pokebeard. I just dont see it with s&v base set. I just looked at the card list and i dont see it.
@MieXuL ill break it down why i like it. Remember this is for long term.
1. First set in pokemon history with silver boarders
2. First set ever with irs and sirs
3. First ever miraidon & koraidon card
4. Miraidon & koraidon are the first legendary pokemon ever that you can use right away in the game that sold more then almost every game.
5. The gardevoir family illustration rare line
6. Most base sets hold great value and this base set is extremely historic and changed pokemon forever with the silver boarders.
Even pokemon is all done with ash, and this is the first generation ever where they went super hard with the new pokemon for almost every set.
@PokeBeardTCG thank you for taking the time to write this for me. Ive only been collexting for 6months. I hope it goes up for you, im a fan. I am loadong up on jap 151 when they reprint and surging sparks. I love the latias and pikachu.
Rift is so underrated
For sure
EVOLUTION SET FORGETABOUTIT 😮 already sold out Pokémon center stamp promo to the moon 🎉
Ahhhh es the video we’ve been waiting for
Has anyone see the absolute carnage at Cotsco right now?? People acting like animals scalping pallets of 151 tins?? Like holy crap.
Side note they are all now panic selling them for about $75 .... So less than $7.50 a pack. At mine..... walked in Tuesday morning, saw half a pallet of mixed 151 and PF . ME and another guy grabbed 6 boxes or 3 complete sets of 151 and 1 set of PF. Glad I dont go to "those" COSTCO's.
Any restocks on these or was it a one and done?
Super crazy
Another great one. Invest and collect in what you like or just do some of everything.
your missing crown zenith it by far has the best pull rates and prices are reasonable!
Dammit you got me. I saw sv base in base and pf in decent and was like “oh heeeeeelll no” and clicked on the video :D. Good final ranking!
😂 didn't want to give away my rankings in the thumbnail
Shrouded fable only has the greninja collection box thats it
Yep
I think stellar crown and shrouded fable can climb if they are short printed.
I like steller crown. That terapagos is a tough pull though. 3 booster boxes and haven't pulled one yet.
my costco has paldean fates boxes with 10 booster packs for $37. is that a good deal?
Yep
@PokeBeard my Man…. I started pokemon investing about 5 months ago and listened to you… based on your opinion bought 3 cases of paldea evolved cheap…. Now im watching my planted seed growing… literally 😅
Made some bad investments along the way and now im wiser. Anyway Thank You for bringing me back to Pokemon after 20 years 💪
I appreciate that! Congrats man!
151 needs to be top this is underrated
@@Catchme-o1e and what if you don't like gen 1?
I'm torn. I invested in Silver Tempest because I love it and I think it will sell out soon...but I want to invest some more and I am eyeballing lower cost sets. I can get Stellar Crown BB's at only $99...but half of me wants to just buy more Silver Tempest at $143.
I feel like surging sparks and prismatic are very gimmicky.
Gimmicky always sells
@PokeBeardTCG it just makes me wonder about how well it will withstand the market? Will the gimmick wear off?
See you & thanks.
Your certainly dedicated & produce good quality videos.
i think temporal is underrated, i think it will grow on people as time goes on
@@armydude142dontunderestima9 probably.
glad my two only master sets are paldea evolved and 151. although a lot of people are doing 151 master sets. also hold a lot of sealed.
Solid
The problem with these cards now is the amount of people who buy bulk to invest/collect thus selling out and leaving the crumbs for the kids
Temporal forces is awesome
Agreed about PF!
OF is a sleeper set
Nooo!!! I literally had just ordered the Shrouded Fable ETB from Pokemon Center for $60! 🤦🏼♂️ Hopefully I make up for it with the Fall 22 and 23 Collector Chests $30./each). Bought a few singles off eBay so figured I should learn before spending too much
steller crown should be below shrouded fable
I love ranking videos
I'm glad
Japanese 151? Is probably way better to invest in over 151, right?
@@TreebeardXIV probably not
What did he say the code was for pokene?
@@thaynannfelix9057 pokebeard
I usually have some things to open when my gf comes over, and I just got some paldean fates tins so we opened one up and out of our two packs we got a Bubble Mew and a baby shiney Sneasel. First time opening up Paldean fates. We might need to open up the rest of the tins now 🤣
if they´re gonna do 32 sirs with crown im buring all my cases with new year
Temporal forces is way too low, they have the legendary dogs idc if they're different forms theyre still nostalgic to people including myself who grew up with gold /silver games and the show
@MohammedAbdullah-ir9gn They're actually cats, and they are literally my favorite pokemon, and these designs drive me nuts. I have every suicune card ever to exist. And then for irs, they pretty much just have gastly. Which stellar bulbusaur and squirtle destroy that. It's also a way smaller set than paradox and paldea.
@@PokeBeardTCG we called them dogs back in my day. I just got back into collecting and I think they look great. I'm glad the boxes aren't expensive but I would of bought them even if they were going for 200 just due to nostalgia. I'm sure I wont be the only one to do this in the future.
@MohammedAbdullah-ir9gn ohh i know. I've been correcting people on that for like 25 years, lol. And I just dont feel any nostalgia when they are brand new different pokemon. Especially when we got legit arts in crown zenith.
I bought the original scarlet and violet booster packs 4 of them
Man I'm bummed to see fable at worst lol I personally just LOVE fable I think the SIRs are the only thing that really hurt the set
Excellent video fam. Great to hear your input on sets!
Thank you for watching
I don’t like twilight much either.
You have excellent taste😂
