bro...lol you should have a master set by now. My rule is when I come across a etb of CZ $45 or below then I buy it. (Yeah I have a master set and few PSA 10s (amazing ones).
"remember, it was never a phase" i gotta say, hearing that tag line really warms my heart. it's encouraging me to be kinder to my old self. so easy to be critical of childhood passions, to dismiss and downplay or feel ashamed. best of luck
Really like the content 👍 I will say you are great seeing things from the collector perspective but don’t forget the competitive TCG also influences the pricing as well. For example the Raikou V is about to be a popular pickup for TCG players with Stellar crown addition of Aero Zero. So there is the competitive buyers who also “bling” their decks and influence pricing on competitive played cards that are AR’s, IR’s, etc.
That is one aspect I am lacking in for sure. I’ve been wanting to start playing the TCG but my social anxiety currently prevents me from doing it at my LGS. Something I’m working towards
CZ is such a great set! I knew the singles would start taking a hit from those Sam’s club boxes. Definitely gonna be picking up more of them with these price drops.
Great time to buy singles sure but think long term. When Pokemon stop printing this set and move onto new sets the price will come back. This is a great set and the art work is fantastic. Come back in 5 years
do you think the pokemon center ETBs will be back on the site for crown zenith? if they just released sea and sky i don’t see why they wouldn’t put out more PC ETBs
I'm in the process of master setting CZ. I've opened 5 sea & sky boxes (bought on different weeks / different pallets) and been kinda disappointed with the hits. I know at some point it makes sense to stop ripping and buy the singles... but the chase is addictive.
I'll consider picking up the Arceus Vstar, that card is absolutely gorgeous. I already ripped a sea & sky box and got the origin dialga, so I gotta complete the set now.
I finished all the trainer galleries but with 70 cards the galarian gallery has been tough. Looking like I could probably finish it off pretty cheap and just buy the singles so I appreciate the info. Tried ripping to actually pull them all but the Giratina just eludes me. Gonna pull the trigger in a week or 2 as I think these have room to fall with the Sea and Sky boxes still available as of this week.
It’s not just the boxes from Sam’s club. Distribution took preorders for Crown Zenith booster bundles at like $2/pack or something even lower than the Sea & Sky boxes.
@@Itwasneveraphasecards I’m in the Bay Area …. In Fremont … it’s not on the shelves because people scoop it up right away .. in store they always suggest to buy online instead
These boxes are fantastic as price/pack, but they have been horrible as far as hits. I have spoken to several people that have ripped a ton of these boxes, and we have personally opened several, and the number of "good" hits has been horrible. I don't think there has been as big of an influx recently of these good singles into the market from this particular box as you think.
Man they're not going to stop reprinting this set aren't they? rip crown zenith singles, im seeing this set going the xy evolutions way, we can probably buy that gold giratina for $40 very soon 😂.
Yeah it’s great time to buy these if you want them. There is so much supply to eat through. It could take 2 decades. That’s why I’m not touching them I bought 1 box and a tin and the IR Raikou. It’s not worth touching compared to say 151 where I have 3 times my profit on the ETB in 3 months due to harsh supply in Australia. Recommend people stay away from this set. It’s just a box and long hold. The scarlet and violet era is so much more superior with newer audiences that are now eating up the other sets because 151 English is impossible to find.
Loving the content. Gave tons to think about when investing on this set. Just passed by Walmart and saw a few ETB for CZ but just bought Stellar Crown packs instead 😅😅. Ggs
Gonna have to disagree so many insanely good looking cards once they stop printing and releasing crown zenith product (which i have heard sea and sky could be the last promo for it) your gonna be a decent sized jump 5-15 years into the future you will see this as one of the most desired sets due to the amazing art amazing cards and it being the last of the yellow border gonna be pretty huge
Are any of you picking up some Crown Zenith singles?
Strong Buy!
I had to pick up the mewtwo and palkia for my master set and I paid 60 for mewtwo and 40 for palkia I thought it was the bottom but I was wrong
DEOXYS VMAX is such an undervalued card, honestly the best artwork in the set with such an awesome character
heck ya, it's going to da moon !!
Every time I see Crown Zenith on shelves, I buy it and rip it.. It's the only set I can't keep sealed..
Its soooo good I don't blame you
@@Lechonkamania I got u bro!! 😎 I’ll keep some for ya !
I have had to FORCE myself to save 3 etbs and 3 of the collection boxes . I mastered the set like 6 months ago and still crave opening it !

Good thing I casually happen to take my time doing my master. Need a good amount. Good to see it’s a good time to finish it up
You can do it!
Yep same here. I’m just working on the Galarians gallery cards. Need 16 more!

Curious on your prediction/right time to buy for greninja?
November peak for Entei was from competitive play. The regular Entei v also shot up at that time
CZ is such a great set! I knew the singles would start taking a hit from those Sam’s club boxes. Definitely gonna be picking up more of them with these price drops.
Can’t wait to scoop up some more cards
I forgot about the booster bundles! Do you think this will be printed like evolutions?
I got some of the Sam's Club boxes and the BB preorder boxes (and even some 151!)
Nice!
Great time to buy singles sure but think long term. When Pokemon stop printing this set and move onto new sets the price will come back. This is a great set and the art work is fantastic.
Come back in 5 years
I have soooo many beautiful cz cards that are like 1-10$….its crazy
30% drops are nothing to be worried about. Just a transfer of wealth from the inpatient to the patient. 🙏
do you think the pokemon center ETBs will be back on the site for crown zenith? if they just released sea and sky i don’t see why they wouldn’t put out more PC ETBs

Yeah ripping to master set can be a dangerous game. Good luck!

Smart
Would love to get that Leafeon and Glaceon, beautiful cards if I can get them around $20
Just sent my Glaceon out to Psa beautiful card
It’s not just the boxes from Sam’s club. Distribution took preorders for Crown Zenith booster bundles at like $2/pack or something even lower than the Sea & Sky boxes.
Dang $2 per pack is a steal
November peak was because of paradox rift and iron valiant in it. It was the best pairing with it in the tcg
Ah thanks!
151 is going to be the crown zenith because that stuff is everywhere . Pokemon is restocking this stuff like there’s no tomorrow
Not here in iowa. No paradox rift, and no 151 anywhere
I haven't seen any 151 in stores either. Probably just my area that's the issue so I'm not sure about that
Nothing to find in Norway either. The restock of the booster bundles was bought up in a couple of days. Hoping for more 151 to come.
No 151 in store that I have seen here in Cali. Only what I have been able to get online.

Crown Zenith sea and sky collection at Sam's club is fucking ridiculous!! Amazing pulls!
Bro I pulled a banger in every pack I even got the gold palkia so happy
Congrats!
Just need to get the gold cards to finish my master set. Hope they tank like crazy 😂
Nice good luck finishing it!
Hands down the best set IMO. Got me back into collecting 😅 I’m only missing the Solrock and the Giratina, so I’m happy the singles are lower atm
You’re so close!
I wanna get that glaceon
It’s nice!

I think it’s hit and miss
Buy buy buy ill wait a little bit longer i think it will keep going people still ripping this product
Understandable
Man they're not going to stop reprinting this set aren't they? rip crown zenith singles, im seeing this set going the xy evolutions way, we can probably buy that gold giratina for $40 very soon 😂.
Haha I wouldn’t complain at that price point

Completely disagree! These crown cards are not desirable and will never be popular to collectors in the long term
