I'm going to say this, the prices of Terastal Festival on Korosseo were a little more expensive than other shops I usually use for my Japanese products BUT I still purchased from that site because of you. I think your character and transparency is more important to me than a few dollars, and I want to support the business and people behind that.
Makes sense, the last reprint caused prices to dip significantly but then they very quickly recovered. People were expecting the same to happen this time, so therefore there is no dip.
Selling Japanese on TCGPLayer has been smooth. No issues. I feel like the prices have been generally lower than what you could get on eBay, but obviously the volume is much higher and things sell quicker.
I just want you to know how incredibly useful I find your videos. You put in the real work and give me the info I actually need! Thank you for what you do!
I live in Japan and have been doubting that this reprint even exists. Have yet to see any 151 at convenience stores and have only found 1 card shop with them and they limited to 10 packs per day. I bought 10 and went back 2 days later and they were out.
Well it was in pokemon centres in November. Stores limited 151 to five packs per person per day and then a week later it was 10 packs per person per day. But yeah other retail stores and konbini didn’t get any really
The average box value is an interesting concept. To sell all those cards would be quite a feat, and on top of that the site you use is going to take over 10% of what you sell for. Then you need to ship the cards, likely individually. The best bet is to hang onto the cards you don't want for yourself and sell them in 20 years when there is a little more profit.
In Canada pokemon cards cost like triple the price of usa. surging sparks backs go for $25 a pack and ever store sells out the day they get stock. It's kind of wild how much people pay in Canada and there always sold put
My order from Japan was only modest. £416 - as soon as the shipping was confirmed. DHL called and I had to pay £91 duty/taxes. Worked out at £33 for a BB of Electric Breaker and £71.36 for a BB 10 pack of V Star Universe. Quite happy with this. Also got 151 @ £76 a booster box. Thanks for all your hard work and videos. It’s driven me at 44 to open my own shop. We’re online. Baby steps. Thanks DP
I love this set but I didn’t even try opening the Japanese option. It was already hard to master English 151, but the Japanese variant would have been so much harder.
Here in France the Japanese boosters are far far less expensive than the french version which naturally translates in higher resell prices for french cards. But furst of all i just want to collect the set. I haven't started yet but i wonder which language to buy....
Terestal festival will drop down to $30 like shiny star and vstar univ. Japan always prints specialty sets into the ground. Pulls rates are also super easy.
Don’t think so ,just the insanity of demand will probably go as low as 50-60 a box just because ppl will be ripping for those master balls ,just like anything now when it’s printed and bought out instantly
@ there’s a ridiculous amount of it everywhere and Japanese sellers are already getting restocks by the thousands. They’ll still be printing this 2 years from now.
It’s up $7-8 on snkrdunk overnight basically. I’ve seen other US sellers claim prices are up about 1000 yen, which I was skeptical of. But turns out it’s true. It will go down but the hype is strong right now
For those of you who don’t live in Japan but are interested in Japanese Pokemon products: think of Japanese booster boxes as really expensive booster packs of Pokemon cards, rather than booster boxes, and it will make way more sense. They have guaranteed minimum pulls (like how there is a rare in each pack guaranteed in English), but those pulls might be better or worse depending on the box. Phanny mentioned how disappointing it would be to open a booster box and only get $20 in pulls, but that’s over half the MSRP value of a 151 booster box in japan and aside from a couple of slow months, I’ve been able to buy at stores here for MSRP since 2023. That’s why 151 was so incredible, because the worst box possible still covered its own cost in pulls until prices bottomed out 6 months ago. People were actually opening boxes for singles when masterball were in the FOMO stage.
Shhhh don’t give away the secret man! Scalpers are wrecking everything we need like 5 straight crap sets to release so half a year of new sets have no hype and gives the market a cooldown I’ve basically quit buying product because prices have gone up so much a couple months ago Japanese BB’s were 30-35$ the special sets like 60$+ now it’s double if not more the only time I worry about value in this hobby is how much am I willing to pay to build sets, and I’m not willing to pay the prices things are being raped into
Legit don’t care about reselling make money in other ways without scalping and ripping off kids for cards that shouldn’t be worth half of what they are right now
@@jwrailve3615 yeah I don’t support scalping, but I think Pokemon Japan is very adamant that their only consumer data must come from in-country sales. It used to be very fringe/ edgy to collect Japanese Pokemon outside of Japan but it’s become way more mainstream due to RUclipsrs glorifying it. So here we are now, watching Japan print for in-country demand despite millions around the world trying to buy up product.
very low volume on tcgplayer japanese, hard to even gauge if that's bc of low demand bc a lot of cards (Even popular ones sirs etc) just don't have a lot of listings, surprised more stores haven't tried listing stuff.
I opened my first terastal festival box yesterday. Got a shit SIR, but got a masterball jolteon and a reverse holo flameon. SIR are one per box so you have a shot at umbreon SIR every 32 box or something but masterball eeveelution are gonna be a LOT harder to pull. So will it command a higher price? Should I feel good about my hits? I feel like I should. It's just frustrating to not get an eeveelution SIR
Yeah it seems like the masterballs are going to be the frontrunners. Can always sell it and buy the SIR you want. Edit: Just had a look and the Jolteon pays for the whole box so definitely a good hit.
Hey, Danny! Love your videos! The Japanese integration to TCG Player really took my business to the next level. I'm only a tiny online store with just under 1000 sales across all platforms, but TCG Player is a good 50% of my business model at the moment. As of the last 3 weeks or so, I'd say 70% of my orders are Japanese cards, with my inventory being about 70% English cards. Hope this helps! :)
Theres all of Japanese in my area southern california but english is very hard to find N you do find thm they go for premium prices Not sure why English 151 is taken long to reprint cuz crown zenith there were printing like crazy.
Lol, people says it reprinted. Prices did not changed and still not more access. Clearly someone is lying or holding back all the boxes to earn money! NB: It is still costs 140-150$ per box here in Europe and it is Japanese!
Tbh I bought half a box early on release for $13 a pack from my LGS, huge L and never went back in I stuck to English and waited, finished my master set over time (before it got expensive thank god lol) Lately.. waited to see how masterballs looked for terra festival and I like the 151 masterball and pokeball reverses WAY more. So I picked up a best offer accepted for $250 on a master ball pika, will snipe a gengar next. Right now prices for those master balls aren’t bad, but once people look back and see them again, I’m afraid the prices will fly up and I’ll never get any of them. So I’m starting now lol 🎉
Never buy loose Japanese packs unless the box is opened in front of you. Many places will open packs until they get the guaranteed card or at least the likely best card for non-guaranteed sets and then sell off the unopened packs.
I know 151 was hard. I only opened 8-10 booster boxes, and managed to pull a duplicate Electabuzz Masterball. Smh. But, it's still a lot of fun hunting for an elusive god pack 😅
Happy birthday mamma, you raised a amazing kind hearted gentlemen to be forever proud of. Thankyou for giving him to us to share his gift of pokemon expertise. ❤
You clean up good, Danny. Happy Birthday to your mom!!! 🥳🎂🥳🎂🥳🎂🥳 I've opened a couple of Japanese 151 packs but that's it. I missed the boat on boxes. It's okay, tho. I lean towards English overall anyway.
That not what majority of collectors think. Which is why it is so sought after. SV 151 is what got me back into collecting. I was lucky to master set it before the scalpers started to notice. This is a big set for 90s kids who now have their own money to splurge. Prismatic is all hype just because it has Eveelutions. Not a fan of the artwork or tera in general. I will save my money for Team Rocket.

You have to hope they go up in 20 years. Thing is most cards aren't going to go up.
I'd be surprised if the ultra modern singles go up that much. They're so common.
Keep em sealed bois
So the reprint of JP 151 this month isn't a very big one? Can't really find many people talking about it or people who have any reliable info.

For me, it is so hard to find out what to do with bulk you get when opening Jp sets.
Are these prices based on graded cards? And I think once the reprints stop these cards are obviously going to climb.
We have 2 booster boxes, but Ive wrestled with us picking up 2-4 more. I remember when prices were over $220. $70-80 a box is a bargain!
Living in Japan the last 3 years was a gift and we're missing it now, for sure.
Danny what’s the meaning of that word you used towards the end of the video? I’m unfamiliar with it but I think you called it a collection… Budget??
Hoping i can pull another 151 Latias EX but this time the top edge isn't horribly cut... 😢
