People are already talking about these as an “investment” 😂 Jesus Christ lol they’re awesome I got some actually! I hope Pokémon prints the ever loving shit out of them lol

I would enjoy if these got printed to the ground. I am poor

I cant wait for this Pokemon "investment" bubble to pop 😂

I feel like you hit the nail on the head here. 'Natural price progression' is healthy and normal. These price pumps make it impossible for normal collectors. I try to sit out all the hype stuff and just collect what I think is cool for a reasonable price.

Really REALLY hoping for reprint. Was bummed to miss it out tbh and watched preorders at $160 then heard from friends they got their orders cancelled with the same sellers who cancelled it RELISTED IT at a higher price which blows

Don't know what to write first but I'm excited to be here

I would love these cards but I’m not going to pay for the prices people want them for. I’d rather stub my toe in the middle of the night.

I really had hope for these promos to not simply disappear within 48 hours of release based on how widely available the Pikachu ones are still. Hoping for a reprint from Pokémon JPN because this is ridiculous….especially hearing your insight about how available the Eevee poncho promos were back then.

that’s wild lol i think they’re cool cards just cause of the uniqueness of the art style so i’d love to have em in my collection, but i wouldn’t pay anywhere near those prices. that orbeetle card is a perfect example too, can’t believe it’s worth less than certain other cards currently priced in the double to triple digits when it’s such a beautiful artwork.

I love how some of the CSR cards have new Pokémon with old trainers so you can see how their team grew as more Pokémon were discovered

Love that Orbeetle vmax, pulled one myself and the artwork is gorgeous. No Orbeetle vmax in VSU, but the Deoxys vmax with Orbeetle vmax hovering above it definitely makes up for it and kind of reminds me of a tag team card. Shout out to one of my fav underrated full art trainer cards, Team Skull Grunt!

Love transparency! Cheers, dude. 😱=thumbnail emoji

As someone who genuinely loves Umbreon, I was really sad when its price shot up 😭 I managed to find one at a reasonable price but that’s only because I live in Japan. The struggle is real for us Umbreon fans 😭

Well the pokemon center online is shipping the orders out in 2-3 weeks. So i expect that the market will be flooded. And drop the price. Will be in japan around that time. Hope I can pick some up.

Love that Orbeetle. Also big fan of its appearance in the Deoxys VMAX from Crown Zenith

Couldn’t agree more with the CSR/TG cards. I see them as Alt arts and I have a strong feeling about them in the future. You’re a GOAT keep up the great content!

You dropped this ✋👑

Reminds me of the special delivery Charizard or the Charizard UPC. Wonder how that went... 🤣

I don’t comment on every video but I wanna wholeheartedly say man……you are amazing at what you do you man don’t ever stop man #VirginGang 🧙🏾‍♂️

The vstar universe supporters are starting to go up in price for psa 10s. Elesa was selling like $160 3 weeks ago but is now 270. Friends in hisui was $75 and is climbing to $140. I know there’s a small boom in full art trainers again but this was quite surprising. Even the marnie from swsh base is starting to climb.

Is that a Pikachu Zubat? That is so cute! I love looking at the different stuff you place in the background.

Love that UFO Orbeetle! VMAX Climax is my favorite set of all time. Love all the arts, the god packs, how fun it is to pull. So good! The hype around certain cards does boggle my mind though. So crazy.

I just bought that orbeetle. Such an underrated card art. I think there’s a ton of TG cards that are far better than alt arts.

Still waiting for this damn elevator to stop at my floor 🤣

Wednesday night these were going for a full set for about 70-80 euros. Mid afternoon Thursday they double to €160 and even some sold at €200. They’re now down to 110-117. They drop sub €100 again I believe for a while and hope they get printed to the ground because they’re not even worth that just yet

Moments like these, between sets when fomo is on the rise and hype is creeping up, I look back to old sets and fill in the gaps in my collection. I am looking at a lot of XY cards that are super slept on and on the same level as modern alt arts

I’m genuinely hoping Pokémon runs these promos into the ground. I was able to scoop up the Mischievous Pichu last year(which is an amazing looking card) for about $10 because there was so much supply and so little demand. Now with these having Eeveelutions they may not print them into the ground, but I sure hope they do. Ngl though that Orbeetle VMax is nice, but that Suicune next to it is an amazing card. I’m reworking the front of my trade binder(which ironically won’t be for trade) and it’s gonna feature the Pop Series 2, Galarian Galary, and hopefully the Gold Star cards of the Legendary Beast. I hope the market in general for cards just bottoms out.

Ayyyyy

I love the VMax Climax Alt Art/Trainer Gallery in Various English Sets. I love the dynamic between pokemon and trainer.

Been saying it for a minute myself man.. Knowing for a fact that more than 50% of the ppl in the hobby will be gone once those numbers drop.

Its good buy or good bye for me. There will always be another card to chase in the next set. Thank you for making this video bro!

I'd love to have each one of these, and the 1st gen as I love them the most. But when I saw the price... I might buy it if prices go down !

100% agree on the umbreon vmax. I like the moon one but its not that amazing for the price its going for. The one with Karen is one of my favourites and I bought a graded one of it

So sick of investment bros. I traded my moonbreon for some ruby & sapphire hits. That mewtwo ex is such a nice card.

The most expensive card I’ve ever bought was the pop series 4 Deoxys ex card. And the only reason why I paid a lot for it is because Deoxys is my favorite Pokémon and I’m trying to collect all Japanese and English cards of it

Not going to lie like a bunch of other Pokémon Gurus, before seeing that Orbeetle card I didn’t even know it existed but I absolutely love that card now, such a fire artwork! 🔥

One thing to consider is most of the ones that have hit the market in Japan were probably from the in-person purchases at Pokémon centers. Unless Pokémon Center's online stores ship really fast in Japan, the ones from online orders probably haven't even hit the market yet.

👍🏻

Haha! I'm friends with Neeko, the seller who sold that Moon Marnie towards the end of the video. Anyway, the Umbreon V and VMAX TG, and frankly all trainer gallery Vs and VMAXes deserve so much more love than they receive. I pulled the Corviknight V from Silver Tempest recently and that card is absolutely beautiful.

I have the sequential set of psa 10s. Bought the raw cards for $20 a piece.

Dead rising music HELL YEAH!

I am new into this pokemon card collecting, but what i have find out with common sence is: just collect what you love, if it goes up sweet, if it doesnt you still spend on something you love, i am currently working on a Golduck (my favorite pokemon) card set trying to get all of them including Japanese and cool stickers, and i am having so much fun.

i remember being in japan when the poncho eevee's came out, when i went to the PC and they gave people the promos for spending 10$ i tihnk it was, and honestly no one was fighting over them haha, even when a friend went back to japan i think it was about 8months later, he found the sealed eevee poncho promos (sealed) at most card card shops selling me 10-15$ each

Vaporeon is one of my favorite pokemon so i needed it but not really needing or expecting prices to go much higher its so lame

“No matter how big their thumbnail mouth is” IM DEAD 😂😂

I love that orbeetle card. Thank goodness I pulled it in English

I like the trailer park boys style music in the back 🤣

I always enjoy watching your videos because I learn something new about the community hopefully these promos are reprinted and MSRP drops too keep going to shops and find booster boxes for crazy prices and I’m tired of seeing that

People getting their orders cancelled is one of the slimiest things I’ve seen recently.

The good side of the Pokemon community. Finally someone that speaks real shit gets a platform, love all the content bro keep it up

the "have a psa 100 day" gets me every time lmfao. kinda hoping on a reprint so i can get them for a more affordable price

Yeah I have the Pikachu one, was hoping to snag these as well because the art is incredible. Guess not.

I would also say to be cautious if buying the packs from a reseller too as there have been cases in the past with 1 card packs where you can shine a torch on the pack and make out what card is inside, people may do this and just keep any umbreons...

I still have echo in my ears hearing people shitting on Yu Nagaba Pikachu. Same people are now in love with eevees. I just cant.

I'm so glad that I finished Vmax Climax before some of them exploded in price. Crazy that I traded for the Acerola less than a year ago when it was around $20 and now the price is so ridiculous. What a crazy cardboard world we live in.

I would love to see these printed like crazy. It would be nice for people who want to get these be able to afford them.

Those poncho eevee cards were $5 a pop when I bought them. Bought 2 sets, cost me $80 back in the day. Still have 1 full set unopened. Sold the other set to a real collector 3 years ago.

Kinda knew this was gonna happen with these. I'd love to have em, but definitely gotta pass on em at these prices. I got my yu nagaba pika for 10 bucks when they came out. I'll be fine with just having that one at least.

If and when the day comes that someone is able to successfully pump the Conkeldurr V Alt Art, that’s when the apocalypse will officially have started.

Not my cup of tea but I’m glad they bring people joy. The pikachu one got to a dirt cheap point and I hope the same for these happens

the eevee poncho promos came out right when i took a break from collecting and i regret not buying the set while i could without spending over a rack.

I like your content and honesty bro , hope these cards plummet and people lose money . If they can print to demand the golden box then they can absolutely print these to the ground

Black-and-white Eeveelution promos are my favorite

I picked up 30 packs but only so I could have one graded set and one non graded set. Not going for any profits! Just a huge eevee fan😁 I was stoked to see these

Great video so far man ya I stay clean from Japanese since I don’t even speak it or read it never been my thing keep these coming baby CantStopWontStop

I pre-ordered the Umbreon for $37 total the day of announcement since it's my favorite Pokemon and I see it going for $50 already

Is this the song from Dead Rising? Also, 100% agree with you on everything, part of me thinks its sports card "investors" coming in with their clown pricing logic.

These look really good in a binder but yea its fucking crazy how everyone and their grandma are getting these

Put these promos in a game of skill machine (crane game, key master etc) and see how much they're REALLY willing to pay to get them.

Love the 1,400 yu nagaba Pikachu's I paid $9-11 each for.

As a primarily Japanese collector for the past 10 years or so, it is disappointing to just get priced out of cards I want to collect by all the scalpers. I remember picking up the magikarp/garadose pika ponchos for like $20 bucks for a set when they released. Now look at the latest Pikachu promo like 500-600 for a product sold at less then $40 bucks.

Love the music from dead rising lol

Been enjoying your honesty in your vids. Got back into collecting over a year ago and am at the point where I’m just buying the singles of the pokemon cards I like, and opening products from other TCGs that are cool (Digimon, Shadowverse, etc.). Is it nice to stash away some stuff you think is cool and you think may also be worth something down the road? Of course. But this over-hyping is insane for monetary value. Really off-putting, and this shit always comes around to those trying to take advantage.

I love myself some eeveelutions…but not for this price lol, the only ones I’d care about honestly are Umbreon, Espeon, Sylveon, and Eevee otherwise the rest dont interest me!!! Agree with the VMax Umbreon with Karen, love that card and can see why you like it more than the Moonbaby alt

I honest to god prefer any of the other umberon cards over the moonbreon. I don't even understand the hype for the moonbreon really. Honestly I hope they reprint the eeveelution ones because honestly it's ridiculous. Also, love your tshirt ^^

I was lucky enough to get 10 promo packs. Hopefully these get printed to the ground tho. Idc about the value I just want people to be able to collect em

Hopefully more and more people start to realize they dont need to look to the past and feel the need to grab cards out of their budget. There will be plenty of amazing cards releasing year after year. Focus on the future dont dwell in the past. Ofc if you have a goal and grail chase go for it just dont rush.

Bro where did you get that lean, obese, stoned fatty pikachu over your left shoulder? I fucking love him hahaha. My guy is levels of chilled that I can only dream about

I got ten packs of the promos but I’m not selling them! I’m ripping them open and hoping to get all nine for my collection

Papi 😘

Oh... I fellow full art trainer enjoyer 😮

I'm an eeveelutions fan, but I only picked up the Jolteon cause I'm gonna start a Jolteon card collection. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have bothered, cause I'm honestly not the biggest fan of Yu Nagaba's style. I hope the prices for these do start to go back down for those who genuinely like these cards though.

i placed an order and got 10 packs on the way. i'm hoping i can trade for whatever ones i'll be missing or hoping prices drop when everybody who ordered online gets their packs and sells their duplicates

Just got that orbeetle psa 10 from ebay for under 30 bucks i love the ufo bug

I hope they print those to the ground. Push the scalpers over to Disney.

"No matter how big their thumbnail mouth is" 😂☠

Unsubbed no appearance from Sauce Bauce. Kidding man, great video as always ❤

One guy on Ebay has sold 200+ lots of 9 of this set at $180 a piece. That's $36,000 in sales. WTF How does one even acquire 1800+ of these eveelution cards to sell on ebay in the first place.

I thought I snagged 4 from Buyee. Apparently it got cancelled the next day for the “convenience of the seller”. I was able to order two from someone else getting them in the states.

Buy a microphone. I like your channel! Your hilarious and have good insight

The pikachu got printed to oblivion so I'm sure these will too. But I'm a mewtwo and gardevoir fan, but u do fancy the occasional espeon lol

That Orbeetle is rad

Orbeetle vmax indeed is a nice card

I have to admit. I definitely wanted to try for a set. I bought it on Japan Pokemon center. Spent the required amount on the site. I know I might all the same could get all 9 different ones. I just wanted these to have in my personal collection. Definitely enjoy the art work. Crazy you know the scarplers will be hunting for them for sure. Its with many collecting things people guess a price to sell them when they see it fetch a higher price they cancel current orders with a lame excuse and put it up at the higher price. Such BS for real collectors.

As I think about it, I’d love to see a Sauce Bauce and Danny Phantump investment collab at Card Party 👌😂 Trainer Gallery superiority as well 👍

They look neat but they still feel like Charles Schultz came back from the dead and instead of drawing Snoopy and Peanuts he did Pokemon instead.

And this is why none of the cards that they list for high prices gets sold because nobody can afford them

Umbreon is my favorite Eeveelution since it came out in Pokémon Gold/Silver. I just loved it instantineously and never changed my mind. But, I aint paying any of those prices😅. Never. Neither for the Yu Nagaba or the alt art VMax. No sir😅 Also, I don't understand why Pokémon doesn't just print a shit ton of those promo cards. It would help, no? And also, you should only be able to get them if you had an account at the store, and they could implement a max quantity for every account. It's getting irritating seeing the scalping and thievery every time👺

The same thing happened to me on ebay. I bought one of the sealed promo packs for $25aud and the seller cancelled a couple days later with out any reason and had the same sealed packs listed for $41aud. I messaged the seller and they said they had to cancel the order due to handling time and denied relisting the item. They just ignored anything to do with the price increase and blamed the pokemon centre.

I love the artwork, wish for more collab like this. But people hype up and make it investment sadly.
