The Scarlet and Violet Generation of Pokemon Cards brought some huge changes to the Pokemon TCG. New Rarities were introduced causing Pokemon Card Collectors to frenzy about what pull rates would look like in order to rip their favorite new Pokemon Card Art. However, after the release of Scarlet & Violet Base, many Pokemon Card Fans were pleasantly surprised to see Pokemon Card Pull Rates being substantially more attractive than the Sword & Shield Era.
Now that we are half way through the Scarlet & Violet Block, many Pokemon Card Fans have stopped paying attention to the Sword & Shield era and started focusing more on buying Special Illustration Rares and Illustration Rares. Over the past month, a ton of attention has been paid to various Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards resulting in tons of copies being bought up. In today's video, we look at the giant increases that these Illustration Rare Pokemon Cards have been going through. Are these natural growth numbers, or are things being manipulated? Let's talk about it!

I think people sleeping on any S&V set right now because it ain't Sword and Shield are gonna regret not chasing these IRs. They're beautiful cards and I think they'll be looked back upon fondly and have high desirability for years to come. There's pretty much mons from every generation and all tastes. What's not to like?

@kedjfj798 Ай бұрын

alot of collectors like to collect things that are rare... it feels good to have thing that others dont etc i guess? those irs in swsh and future will have over 20000 psa10 pops in the future sealed included, its extremly common and u hardly will regret not having something that u can find literally everywhere.

@samersalama6275 Ай бұрын

I like seeing attention to the SV era because I am a fan of the artwork and sets. A lot of these cards do demand an increase in price considering pull rates and artwork. I don’t think they should all be this high. I do think a lot of these artworks should be around the $10 range or higher. I’ve opened a lot of packs for very sets and a lot of times I don’t even pull an illustration.

That’s one thing I never really understood was the ‘Listing Amount’. In order for buyouts or cornering the market to work you need to wipe supply. How do multiple cards only have 20-30 total listings when Pokémon has been printing like crazy and packs are being ripped like crazy?

Do you think part of these artificial fluctuations in card prices have to do with events like card party where there will be a huge movement in cards so the price is adjusted accordingly beforehand?

@awdgaray Ай бұрын

I'm really curious about something, Danny talks about price increases in a similar fashion to how someone may speak about crypto, stocks, gold, etc. i.e. "massive increase" ($8 to $13). This type of reaction only makes sense if you are buying these bulk though, is that what people do? Like If you have one card it doesn't mean much but if person buys like 100 cards then it's a different story.

@DannyPhantump Ай бұрын

I look at in a way of an entire collection. If you are constantly navigating the market and adding to your collection at the lowest possible price point, your collection gains value. So you are correct, but rather than focusing on it as a single card, think of it more as an entire collection of cards of different variety.

During the summer price decreases can happen. But for sure it feels artificial how sudden the price change can happen. And also the fact that for popular alt arts there would be so few available makes no sense. Feels like a shift from alt arts to something else. So go away in May and be back in September might be a thing too?

Great research, as usual, Danny. Thanks for putting all the time and energy into these videos. You present a great snapshot in time and help us decide where to spend our collecting dollars. Side note: Reading TCG Player at-a-glance Take the word “from” and replace it with “as low as”. Example : 15 listings “from” = 15 listings “as low as” Which means the lowest price you can buy this card at has 15 listings It would help if they put: 15 of “X” listings as low as “price” or something like The total number of listings is "X" and you can buy 15 of these listings as low as "Y" Why they don’t. Who knows? It would be easier at a glance to see how many active listings of any card are available.

For me personally, the best SV sets this far: 1. 151 (Srsly, OG set, who doesnt like? Well unless terastal eevee comes into fruition) 2. Paldean Fates (Good to rip, if only there were more Illustration rares for the set) 3. Paldea Evolve (Considerable large set, and easier pull rate per booster box) Worst set thus far: 1. Obsidian Flames (If only the set size was as large as paldea evolve) 2. Base set (The SIRs are not like SIRs)

@@DannyPhantump I fully understand that collectability between English vs Japanese will warrant some differences in prices. But it's kinda wild to me that the Japanese you can buy and have it shipped for $20 tops, when the English is twice that on a rough average. Collection dollars just don't seem to go as far as they used to these days. Or maybe I'm just running out of affordable chase cards. 😅

Pretty crazy that buyout groups are still doing this and able to artificially keep prices at 75% above what they otherwise would be. In some cases, more like 90% higher. Wouldn't touch modern cards with a 10-foot pole, personally. These newer sets are decent, but they're priced as if they're 15 years old and wildly scarce, and nothing could be less true, meaning prices WILL fall a ton before long.

when money moves out of one area in the hobby it moves into another area. when it moved out of vintage in 2021 it moved into sword and shield alt arts, when it moved out of sword and shield alt arts it moved into tag teams, when it moved out of tag teams it moved into japanese, when it moved out of japanese it moved back into sword and shield alt arts, now its moving out of sword and shield alt arts and its looking like its starting to move into scarlet and violet. that said i think its a little to soon for scarlet and violet to spike since most sets are still readily available so i would not be suprised if we start seeing fluctuations somewhere else soon. given the current state of the modern market both in america and japane my guess would be a move back into vintage. oh and if you buy that magikarp for anything above 40$ your an idiot. its not a 60$ card, not an 80$ card, not 100$ card, and def not a 150$ card. irs like that magikarp have a consistent record of being 20-40$ cards. the tyranitar, raichu, groudon, gastly, and evee which are the most similar to that magikarp in terms of desirability and pull rates are all 20-40$ cards. and yes even the magikarp was a 20-40$ card before it started skyrocketing because of market manipulation and people who are giving into fomo.

Most of the competitive stuff is fine. I think people are overreacting. As the game grows world's will be harder to get into. I would have liked to have seen Oceania, latam, and the Middle East not get shafted. I also think they should expand regionals, many players I think just want to play in these types of tournaments. If regionals are special less players would be upset about chasing worlds. 3 larger tournaments get the "feel" of making them special but really hurt those that can't travel far for whatever reason. Sometimes you need to, but I hate to see people being shut out.
