I don't invest in JP except for 151 and that's only because they have masterball holos and are easier to store than the English products for the set. I think serious collectors down the road will want to compete the masterball set even if they don't speak Japanese. That being said, I have a lot more invested in JP BB but, similar to you, am diversifying and have a case of 151 ETBs.
I have been slowly getting back into collecting. I am very picky with the sets i like but i have been gathering a mix of both English and Japanese in both cards and sealed product. 151 is worth gathering for long term solely for future pack opening dopamine for myself even if it doesn't gain a ton of monetary value.
I live in the state of Washington, where we have pokemon vending machines. 151 was sold out until last week. It got restocked with etbs and booster bundles.
Far more English collectors in North America, so that's the easy answer for me should I want to sell mine down the road. I feel like there's an absurd amount of Japanese boxes being bought in massive quantities, so what's my little amount gonna do competing with them? At least with English we literally couldn't hoard them the same way because of supply and demand. So far, of course.
Japanese boxes easy! I collect both English and Japanese. About two months ago or so when the reprint happened, boxes were down to like 40-50 bucks! Fast forward to today, those same boxes are selling on eBay for 70 plus! Already moving up in price after the massive reprint. Waiting on English for a reprint as well, I don’t believe the reprint will bring the prices down drastically. Start loading up now as we will never see these Japanese box prices again!
Japanese 100%, there are many more chase cards like the master ball reverse holos that make each pokemon really special to collect. The english shouldnt put the chase cards as promos (eg. mew sar, mewtwo ar are practically worthless in english) overall the english master set is easy to complete with lesser cards to chase
for 151, im all in japanese. they have booster boxes/masterball/god packs where English does not. specialty sets is japanese for me* for english sets, i prefer to have booster boxes as they appreciate more than etbs/booster bundles in my opinion
I bought 100 English and 100 Japanese in September LOL. The Masterball was genius, at first, I was like "the fuck is this?!" LOL. And then it grew on me fairly fast and I started to see how unique it was.
In your opinion, would the English reprint cause Japanese box prices to come down? Im wondering if I should wait to buy some Japanese boxes or if I should pull the trigger now
I really wish the English 151 had the Master Ball cards lol. One more thing we could've looked forward to 😅 Btw, I recently acquired the Zapdos SIR from 151 through trading. Definitely worth it 🔥😎
@@Itwasneveraphasecards of course love the effort you put into the vids, look forward to them every day. Share with my other collecting buddies as well. Have a great weekend!
Off topic question but im going to buy a Crown Zenith etb to hold for the long term. Is it more worth it to buy it online at walmart for $42 and risk that it will arrive in bad condition or go to buy it in person and have to pay $50.
Of all the ETBs I have ordered online I never had one come damaged. That being said if your holding long term $8 difference won’t be much so if you are worried picking it up in person might just make you feel better.
@@Itwasneveraphasecards alright thanks. what's making me worried is that the seller on walmart doesn't have a lot of reviews. only 6 and a few are bad reviews.
@@Itwasneveraphasecards alright tysm! i'm just a kid so I don't have much money to invest with but I am going to my local best buy to buy one or two etb's for $50 each. Hopefully they'll go up a bit in the next 5 years or something!
I picked up 6 151 ETBs and 5 Booster bundles right before the prices spiked. I'm gonna hold them and see what happens. I do feel that over time it will only become harder to get and will become even more popular than it already is. I did open some before buying in bulk and already just about done with the master set. The luck I got with my pulls was insane. Holding everything else sealed just in case! I Will be working on the Japanese set as well eventually

Where do you stand on English VS Japanese 151? Let me know!
English for sure
we wanna read the cards no matter what quality japanse cards are.

Just pulled a Bulbasaur master ball holo in this Japanese 151 box that was delivered to me today
@@NOBUxDrillz Nice!
Really like your videos, keep it coming. Everything you say is very logical!

Welcome back to collecting! Was it 151 that pulled you back in? If you have any questions about anything just let me know I’d be happy to help.
Looking forward to future videos man, love the content.
Thanks! I appreciate the support!

The market for the english print is a lot larger, but Japan is far mor obsessed with Pokemon as a culteral thing, so there is money in both.
Thanks for the very informative video. Is there any website or database that has info for sets like "SRP" and other release info?

Nice! Can't go wrong with Japanese 151 boxes
Its crazy thats theres only about 30 boxes from 70-90 bucks i had to buy the last one at 70 free shipping thanks bro

Just gained a new subscriber. Loved the video :)
What is msrp for the booster bundle display?
I believe it’s $269.40 as the MSRP for one bundle is $26.94
for 151, im all in japanese. they have booster boxes/masterball/god packs where English does not. specialty sets is japanese for me*
for english sets, i prefer to have booster boxes as they appreciate more than etbs/booster bundles in my opinion

What will be the value of the booster bundle be in 10 years?
Eng 151 will get a re print. Its so scarce! Has been since day 1! Every S%V set is readily in stock everywhere.... apart from 151.
Just a matter of time! Too popular of a set
Japanese cause of the masterballs
@@pokejonstore So all Japanese no English? The masterballs are nice wish we got those in English.
@@Itwasneveraphasecards Maybe in some english slabs like the zard etc after the reprint
Also God packs
English dominates japanese lmao😂
@@claraalahmmar3174it really doesn’t people desire the master ball pikachu and master ball gengar a lot
In your opinion, would the English reprint cause Japanese box prices to come down? Im wondering if I should wait to buy some Japanese boxes or if I should pull the trigger now
No I wouldn't expect that to be the case. That is not usually how it works.

I really love the 151 Zapdos is stunning
Couldn’t pass up on those $50 Japanese boxes. Will pick up more English once the price comes down. Been loving the daily videos thanks!

PokeNE said there’s word or 151 Japanese reprint in the spring. I can’t believe there will be 2 Japanese reprints before we get 1.
I just got the Japanese booster box for a fantastic price. Still debating weather I should open it
Japanese 10000000%. Why you may ask. The master ball cards will keep the collectors coming for more. Pika/Gengar
Masterballs are 🔥🔥🔥
Def japanese i bought some during the 50 dollar dip
Smart!
Masterball! Great video🎉🎉
Great video! Only note is the US is nowhere close to a recession.
@@ItIsGundy That’s just what people are talking about
2 for 114 is 57 per box 10 for 606 is 60.60 per box . logic

Maybe japanese becausen they are cheaper ?
Tried telling you 10 days ago that it was a restock & not a reprint
