The dude has his own store and doesn't advertise in videos he discusses and analyzes trends of the products he sells. He might be the most selfless person on the internet. I would totally buy from him and trust his prices if I knew where to buy. Thanks for being such a a great dude Danny

It’s “The card colosseum” if you really want to buy from his store.

SV 151 🏆

151 has to take the win for me

Very interesting analysis, thanks Danny! Would definitely be interested in seeing how the more mature SWSH sets breakdown

Great content Danny. Love this data comparison to give us an idea of what makes the most sense to open. Of course, people will also consider their own preferences for chase cards, but this list is very helpful to make the best decisions.

Always Good info. I may need to jump on the colosseum to look for a little vintage

I love this video. Honestly no one on KZread is this precise or this accurate when it comes to data on product, sales price or fun costs value.

So open 151 and nothing else😂

I found this information very useful and interesting! thank you for going through the effort to pull this together!

Great video. Great info. A bit depressing to see how much the values have dropped. It would be very interesting to see this done again in 6 months when Paldean Fates and Paradox Rift sets are a bit older. I think 151 might hold, but I reckon the other two will fall. I’d also love to see the SwSh data.

Obsidian flames got me into collecting Pokemon again

Same here, I love that charizard, I feel like people now are overlooking it.

Really liked this video and hope you make more of this kind where you analyse the data for booster sets.

Hey bro, when are you loading singles for pre-order for tempural forces singles?

Hi Danny!!! This vid was great! If you're willing to do one for S&S, that would be lit, too. Especially with packs for sets like ES, CR, and FS steadily rising now, it'd be interesting to see what the numbers look like. I, too, loved ripping Paldea Evolved until recently I opened 24 sleeved boosters. 13 on one day and 11 a week later. I only got 2 pulls... an Arctibax IR from the 13 and a Pikachu ex from the 11, haha. REKT

I'd be curious to see how Crown Zenith stacks up. My LCS has $7 packs of 151 so still about a 50% expected loss but I may have to grab a booster bundle or 2 next time they're on sale

Working on a few master sets currently. Your videos have been extremely helpful.

Thank you for this! Would love to see an intro video to deck building in 2024 and maybe even some tips on what to generally look out for in a deck? Thank you for all you do!

Appreciate all the honest information you give to us! Thanks!

Very informative video! I'm a huge pack opener, so the "fun cost" is something that's very important to realize. To be able to spend as much as I do in this hobby, I sell on eBay/TCGPlayer and play at my local card shop. Adding those things to this hobby, for me, makes it so much more fun. I would encourage more people to play the game. At first I was unsure about it, but now after about a month of playing its totally changed what this hobby means to me and in a good way.

Would be great to see similar comparison for sword and shield sets! This is justification to do what I want and open more 151!

I have access to a lot of 151 sealed rn… I personally have taken a break from Pokemon modern. However I’m falling back in with temporal forces haha

Best set is 151 But not the best pull rates haha

@@DannyPhantump Honestly... kind of what makes it the best set. Cards being tough to pull in 1st edition base is what made it so amazing today.

Appreciate you showing all this data, definitely surprised that paldean fates is still so high but maybe it needs more time for prices to continue to settle

Nice stats. Nice shop online man, what are the shipping costs to Holland?

Thanks for sharing this info.Much appreciated ❤

Thanks so much for an awesome video! Would love to see a breakdown of the Sword and Shield sets like you offered. Also, do you have any info or insight you can offer for those of us who like collecting master sets but want to know the right time when to transition from buying packs to picking up singles to complete the collection? I’m sure there’s an analytical way to find the sweet spot but wanted to ask a reputable source. Thanks!

Loading up on Crown Zenith while it's still cheap. It won't stay under MSRP for more than another year. Best set since Evolving Skies to me.

I was thinking the same thing. Since crown zenith doesn't have booster boxes displays are you focusing on the ETB's then??

There's a ton of it around . Will never be an evolving skies , guarantee that and no Booster boxes too . If anything a pokemon Co Etb that'd about it

Currently working on 151 binder!

Great video, would have loved for you to include the 'fun cost' for each set like you normally do, as like you mentioned, value of the pulls is only half the story depending on how expensive the boosters are.

Can you do a competitive best to open? Like which cards have best results records?

Love your videos any chance you can move that blastoise box over its hanging off the edge of your shelf and I cant stop looking at it 😅.

I stopped buying sealed product years ago, but Crown Zenith got me into opening packs again, then 151 and Paldean Fates made me realize I was wasting my money again. I’ve gambled hundreds of dollars on ETBs and box collections and booster bundles on these two sets and haven’t pulled a single “money” card, or a single good playable staple card. Back to singles for me…again.

Great analysis Danny. Glad you looked at the set vs set level. Thank you.

If this guy wrote a book the way he talks in his videos, the whole thing would be a run-on sentence

Thanks man! Appreciate your work!

Love the info you give it helps out a lot.

Will 151 have reprints in the future?

Where can you find booster boxes for 90?

I’m still watching at the end, Hi Phanny!!! Your consistency is remarkable

wow i did not even realize you had your own store! one of the most selfless people out there!! keep up the awesome work danny :D

I honestly really like the illustration rares and special illustration rares of the S&V era, the art works are beautiful. I would rather have more of them and no full art or gold cards in future sets.

would definitely be interested to see how this compares to Sword and Shield sets

Great video dude! I've been telling all my people if your going to open a modern set it has to be paldea evolved aside from the 2 side sets clearly 151 wins lol

Great information Danny. Would be interesting to see some data on the sword and shield era packs that are still available at a decent price today like crown zenith.

Hi Phanny -- Love this type of video, it always discourages me from spending too much ripping, but I always grab some packs to open with the boys on the weekends so it's fun to know where I can get the most "value back" if I am not chasing something specific. Love the info and the work that went into this vid, keep it up!

Would be awesome to see SWSH! Thank you Danny!

Hey Danny, one thought I had that would be interesting, is to give an example of the range of outcomes for these kind of videos. So for example, if you are expecting on average 1 SIR per box, you show the value with hitting the lowest priced SIR and then the highest priced SIR. I think what would make this interesting is it can help show when some sets have a pretty predictable range of outcomes, like lets say Scarlet & Violet Base set, where most things are closer in value, versus 151 where the difference between the charizard and Giovanni is massive. I just think it would be fascinating. Thanks so much for your work and information you put out!

I’m a firm believer in collecting what you like. If value goes up? Great. If it doesn’t? Who cares. It’s a card or product you want.

Nothing better than having 2 of your videos after a long busy week 😁

Awesome vid! Really validating for me since i have gotten back into the hobby and almost been blindly opening 151 and evolved purely because i just like them lmao x.x

I want to open 151 but i cant find it in store, and im reluctant to purchase cards online

I really enjoyed opening 151 and paradox rift

By far the most informative and helpful pokemon tcg channel on KZread

Thanks Danny! Thank you for the constant unbiased content!

Thanks for the information!

Love all this as always Danny. To me the prices I don't worry about to much cos I am a collector. What does me here in uk are the people online who I deal with don't have the staff to update so a lot of the singles which have gone way down in price haven't been altered much at all here. I'm probably better off ordering maybe of somewhere like tcg & pay postage shipping. Like I think I want 9 or 11 cards for steam siege but they charging a lot still for the big cards. So to sum up shops here in uk say they haven't got enough staff to alter prices on single sales.🤔

I want to start collecting English 151. The packs are around £6.80 The ultra premium is £109 . I read not to buy single packs as they can be weighed, is this true? I’m thinking the safest way is to buy sealed ultra boxes? Thanks

When will you be buying bulk again?

Cool video Danny. Always enjoy the cost breakdown videos.

Great info, as always! Thanks

Worst to best list: 6. Obsedian Flames 5. Scalet Violet base set 4. Paradox Rift 3. Paldea Evovled 2. Paldean Fates 1. 151

Thank you for making this video I asked if you had one a little while back about this topic, over on drip when you did a giveaway. And now we got the answers!

Came back to this video after opening my first ever Booster Box (usually go for tins/bundles/ETBs or loose packs). 9 hits from Paldea Evolved and no SIR in sight. 4 EX, 2 Full Art trainers (Falkner and Saguaro), Mismagius and Grafaiai IR and a Golden Super Energy I wasn't looking for profit but at least hitting an SIR, or a 3rd IR. Man it's kinda put me off buying booster boxes honestly.

I’ve watched your videos before but not many. Newer to collecting again. But this video got me want to subscribe. I was intrigued and interested the whole time. Keep it up! More videos like this would be interesting. Good work because I know this took some time to make. Sword and Shield next?

Thanks for all the wonderful information, Danny!

Much love Danny. Love watching your videos. Doing it for the hobby and not for yourself is how it feels. Thanks bruh

Oh please do the S&W sets next yes!

Would love to see a video just like this with all the sword and shield sets, looking at how they are all holding up after scarlet and violet is in full swing. Also would be so cool to see with other eras like SM to see how each set has aged (and is doing now that the TCG has cooled a bunch with prices)

Some LGS still charge over price based on the market instead of selling it at msrp. I’m glad Pokémon isn’t pricey like one piece where it’s over price from scalpers and LGS

tbh not fair for Paldean fates to be there, confounds the data as its too new. Think 151 might bias the data as well but i enjoyed this comparison.

Love your videos, Danny! Keep up the good work :)

Love this data! Please do a video on Sword & Shield! Thank you!

Obsidian Flames needed a few more IRs and SIRs and it would have been a top set.

So what’s the store?

Loved this man especially on Sword and Shield would be amazing! Appreciate all you do if not thank you Danny!

Good info, try this for sword and shield

Great video! The data videos you make are always interesting

Excellent video, thanks Danny P. I’ve just ordered a big box of Paldea Evolved and I don’t even know what Pokémon is 😂 Subscribed 👍

S&V is so much fun. About to rip into my second SV1 booster box, and I’m super excited... ...after finishing this video, I'm realizing that it's definitely time to stop breaking and start buying singles. No regrets. Still a fun set. 😆🤣

Amazing video! Love this kind of content

I really need the shiny illustration charizard for obsidian flames if anyone has an extra. As for which set to rip packs from, I would recommend Paldea Evolved for quality art style, amazing illustration rares, and has more punch than the base set scarlet & violet in my opinion.

Definitely love crown zenith, it’s the set that got me back into the Pokémon TCG, but I really like the Scarlett and violet era the more it comes out just bc of the amazing art on the cards which is not comparable to the older cards

Surprised for paradox rift and happy for paldea evolved

Really thought obsidian flames would have been a future cult priced set did not expect them to print charizard into the ground

danny, I love the analysis. It will be interesting to see how this fares down the road! thanks

I remember at prerelease I pulled 2 miraidon sir from S&V base. I sold them right away on ebay and got $170 each + shipping. I still have screenshots of the sales just to remember. I almost feel bad now 😂

Thank you so much for putting in all of the work Danny. We appreciate it!

Imo it's paldea evolved and 151 even with the tougher pull rates. You can get 12-14 hits out of the other sets yet the hits be worth a $1 a pop. Only other set that seems to have held some value is Paradox Rift as well since it has quite a few playable cards. Worse base, 2nd obsidian. This is my prediction

Your dedication to the hobby is insane Danny! Love the analysis, the data, the numbers. Considering you have your own LGS and do this for people without advertising your own products really shows how much you love Pokémon / PTCG. Second to none when it comes to genuine info! Thanks again for all you do bro! ♥

HI DANNY! 😂 Appreciate the data and research 👍👊🍻

Love that this justifies me spending my collection dollars on more 151 :) btw Sam's club has a deal right now where you get 2 151 mini tins and a pokeball with 3 packs (2 lost origin and 1 silver tempest) for $28. So basically $4 a pack.

Overall I think you will see paldean fates drop and it switch places with paldea evolved. Goes to show how much people love 151. It would be interesting to see this with some sword and shield sets now that they aren't releasing new products and prices for sealed are starting to rise on some of the sets.

This is great info Danny!

151 is just an amazing set top to bottom. Even most of the reverse holos are selling for over $1 on average so hands down the king of SV era so far and IMO it will stay that way continuing its climb as time goes on!!! Love the content presented here. I'm a data junkie and use it to determine what I buy as I like the idea of increasing my odds of pulling value from my packs! Thanks again for being so honest and open to anyone of like mind

When 151 hits, it hits hard.

is that even a question ahaha the 2nd best set here could double up in pulls and wouldnt be better than 151

Basically Danny 151 good marketing from pokemon. 😜 Its obvious that temporal forces there will be some big expensive chases Danny but then when the next set is released then the prices for a lot of the chase cards in that set will come down. Anyway Danny always great info thanks for your time for the input.👍

I'm betting 151. I pulled 5 SAR venasaurs and 0 reverse Arcanines.

The best investment information condensed into easy to understand nuggets! Thanks Danny!

thanks for the information

I got 1 s&v base booster box, 3 paldea evolved booster box, and 1 paradox rift booster box for 350. I think that’s pretty good.
