Dang you were doing so well (completely agree on customers driving the market not some big conspiracy) until you presented a false dichotomy of BS and SS. You’re also only approaching it from a more medium term from of reference. In the next year is BS likely to have a higher % gain? Maybe, though there are underlying mathematical factors that would suggest even that assumption is likely wrong. And more importantly it’s not even the right question for longer term investors. The better (or at least a necessary follow-up question) question is, in 5 years or 10 years which set will see more gains? The answer is resoundingly SS and really any SV set. That said, cheaper SV sets are the play right now IMO. So really the right question is spending $140-$150 on SV base, paradox rift, stellar crown, obsidian flames, or temporal forces going to perform better than that money spent on BS? I believe it’s definitely yes for all of those sets because they’re already performing better and have much better cards and artworks. Also, at the beginning of the video there’s an implication that people should be investing in something Pokémon-related and there are plays to be made, yet at the end say you’re going to substantially reduce your Pokémon card spending. So which is it?
@@pokelytics4352 wait how is saying there are plays but I’m going to be making less of them a contradiction?? Other then that I would agree early sets of SV may do better in the long run then BS and VV I just don’t have any VV and I have a ton of early SV sets so I think VV is just a good move for me as far as diversifying
@@pokelytics4352 I should also say I invest in multiple TCGs so that’s the main reason for Pokémon being less my overall tcg buying amount will stay roughly the same and things may change
@@ToGoBox69 in my opinion, and I admit this is a subjective interpretation of what you said, at the beginning of the video, presenting a choice between BS and SS in the way that you did implies people should be buying something right now. This, to me, contradicts you saying you’re going to spend less. Someone who is going to spend less should be more likely to say BS isn’t a great set so not a great investment and SS is over inflated and likely to get a reprint so my play is no play. Something like that.
@ I appreciate a good faith conversation about it. It’s an interesting discussion. I’m not trying to be an asshole haha. Subscribed to your videos. Appreciate it!
I wasn’t sure which channel this was for a second

Is being a Rudy clone thing a bit or are you like this in every video?
@@DOBLE2CALIBeR you’ll have to find out 😉

Nice marker!
@@ScottysTCGShop I was thinking of you when I got them lol ❤️
@@ToGoBox69 respect
Yea, scalpers buy at msrp so they never get screwed LOL
Shrouded fable over battle styles. Shoot even base set s&v over battle and vivid.
Fair points, I think for diversity it’s good to have a bit of everything!
@ToGoBox69 i have a bit of everything. But I just see more potential is s&v everyone thinks it's mostly trash when it's fire
Battle Styles or Vivid Voltage?
@@brett3857 I think both are solid but vivid voltage is probably going to see growth before battle styles
@@ToGoBox69literally Anything is solid if you hold long enough
