FYI: I am not including any preorders or orders of products that I didn't receive in November for this video. All of my black Friday orders will be shown in December's video. I hope y'all enjoyed and my rant wasn't too long!
Love the monthly recap videos! This was a good month for sales, though i was expecting more. I was able to get quite a few ETBs I had my eyes on and a few surging sparks products so i'm satisfied for now
The thing that puts me off investing more in crown zenith is everyone keeps saying it's such a good set, but the sales don't seem to corroborate that. The set came out nearly two years ago, and it's still abundantly available at retail price everywhere. I don't think it's a bad set or anything, but I think it's not as good as people pretend it is. I think you would have been better off investing more in surging sparks or saving for prismatic evolutions, or the blooming waters collection for 151 that's coming soon. I feel like even those they are two years newer than crown zenith that ultimately they will pay off more and much faster.
Very interesting take. I partially agree with you but there's good reason it's so available. I believe Crown Zenith has been one of the most printed sets EVER. And the top 10 card value is still higher than most S&V sets top 10 lists. That tells me how strong the set is and will be once supply dries up. But you may be right, we shall see.
@@MalcolmB-g3k Like I said the set has been out for two years and it's made very little progress as an investment. People said the same things about much older sets such as chilling reign and fsusion strike "uh oh they're gonna skyrocket buy it now quick!" and 4 years later they're still barely worth anything. This whole "wait for it to skyrocket" investment method is extremely flawed, you are much better off ignoring under performing sets, and focusing your money on what people actually want. Even if sets like prismatic evolutions get overprinted the popularity of the set will pretty much ensure fast sales, quickly depleted retail market and rapid investment value, you certainly wont have to wait 5 years or more to make 3x or 4x profit.
@@SimplyEricc That depends on what you consider overprinting, is it actually being printed more than anything else? Or is it that it's not selling as well as everything else? Evolving skies was "overprinted" too, multiple reprints, but it constantly sold out and now look at the value. And to further illustrate my point if I had instead invested all the money into evolving skies that I wasted on investments like chilling reign, brilliant stars, fusion strike etc I would have made INSANELY more money. So yes, buy what is popular, buy what people want. Don't rely on "this is actually a good set, people are gonna realise that any day now!" because that clearly isn't working.
Have you seen the Japanese version of the Rayquaza LV.X? It's on another level! it has an extra holo layer over the whole card 🤩, just picked one up in a PSA 10 for like $250 with a low pop. Under 200 in a 10. JP LV.X's are so undervalued for some reason.
Ive seen cases of surging sparks PC etb for weeks now at $100 each, the hypers completely gave up on magneton and people really dont care that much it seems like unfortunately.
Nice pickups man. Is that the Phantom Hourglass DS Lite as well? One of my favourite DS consoles besides the Solgaleo/Lunala New 3ds XL and maybe the Zelda 2ds XL.
Heya, my pick ups this month were similar to yours. The only difference is that I went half on the surging sparks because I couldnt find more! The other half was Paldea Evolved Booster boxes for around 125-130. I messed up and bought two Terapagos UPCs. I regret it so much. Could have gotten 4 crown zenith sea sky collections. Big blunder on my part.
I think surging sparks is becoming surging farts for so many breakers because the pull rates are ridiculously difficult. The Pikachu is not even the best SIR art. I think the best art is Eggecutor or Latias.

Great "rant", and nice pick-ups for November dude, totally agree with you @ 11:40 for the PC ETB's; that's where I'm at with the ones I picked up.
CZ is the play right now; I agree.
Nice pickups!! We just added a booster box of Paldea Evolved and a booster bundle of CZ to our collection!

Putting the girlfriend fund into Pokemon is such a W move

You wont realize what you had until it's gone

Lol? Crown zenith is fire.

I went crazy for prismatic too over 4k total…target pre order was crazy got 45 binders 20 surprise boxes alone

My Sam’s club got a pallet of the sea and sky last week and they went fast

how got prism evo noti to buy
Where are you buying these at? I just want to be able to buy real stuff and not take chances on tampered stuff
Mostly TikTok shop through allpoketcg, calipokehouse, and monketic. Then some from the pokemon Center website

Surging sparks and paldea evolved are great pickups! Terapagos UPC’s may not go crazy in price but I still think they’re cool
Just a heads up but the sea and sky box from Sam’s is available again.
No its not
It keeps going in and out of stock. It'll be gone gone soon
Less go Jb tcg
Invest in sealed DS Nintendo IP first prints
Id say decent pickups bro
I appreciate it, u still going ham on Obsidian?
U could have bought the sky and water box something of crown zenith to😊ns of packs it's not worth in booster bundle just six packs 😕
in my opinion, bundles are better. easier to move and ship
Gotta be careful and take your time taking your shipping label off the case Pokémon label bro
Yeah this one didn’t go very well… I did it cleanly on my poster collections but I think this label got slightly wet in the rain
@@JBTCGJB what state you live in bro?
Surging Sparks is all fomo. If your smart sell fast. It is a new set. Reprint for next 2 year
I don’t think it’s all FOMO tbh, there is a lot of organic demand. There definitely is lot of FOMO but people really do love this set
I think surging sparks is becoming surging farts for so many breakers because the pull rates are ridiculously difficult. The Pikachu is not even the best SIR art. I think the best art is Eggecutor or Latias.
I don't think CZ is the play, just my opinion.
rip it all!
S&V is better than SWSH. And Surging Sparks isn't loved its just over hyped. It will crash.
I’m with you to a degree. It’ll come down but I doubt it’ll really crash down below MSRP unless they reprint it into the ground

Lmao maybe someday I’ll join the whale squad 🐋 🐳
