Should You Buy, Hold, or Open a Crown Zenith Elite Trainer Box? 

I've actually been opening one pack at a time for a while, haha. I find it's nice to open a pack a day, so I have something to look forwards to each day and I'm not spending a ton at once. I tend to buy a booster box every month or so for best value.

I just collected my pre-order of 2 CZ ETBs today, just had a go at the packs. most of the pulls were not that great but I got what I wanted , the pikachu Secret Rare was in the 2nd box!! I'm really happy :) just sharing my experience, the CZ packs can be weighed somewhat, the lightest packs 22.0 - 22.03 grams had no hits at all. That being said, the pikachu was pulled from a light pack (22.22grams). Just beware if you are buying loose packs

I managed to find one at Walmart yesterday, hands down the best ETB I've ever opened in years of collecting. I got the Raikou, Mew, Swablu, and Absol gallery cards, as well as Leafeon V and the textured darkness energy. Can't wait to open more, this set is a blast and SO beautiful!!

I opened 9 ETB's today. I got a few great pulls but none of my chase cards. It was so fun to open I already have abstinence and want to buy more 😄 Such a fun set!

Just recieved and opened mine. I ordered 2 ETBs and my best pulls were: GG Riolu, GG Hattrene VMax, GG Oricorio, GG Solrock, GG Irida, Rayquaza V, Regigigas V, Mew V, Zeraora VMax and Radiant Charizard. They're all so nice, I feel great about my pulls. I'll definitely be doing more in the future though Best luck to everyone on their pulls!

Thanks for the video Jake! Excited to see my kiddos open these up and see the look on their faces with all the hits!

I really enjoy your content and I've been looking for a good pokemon card RU-vidr for a while and I found you and I love your content you give very honest high quality and just straight forward reviews of various packs and you are one of the best pokemon card reviewers I've seen in a while thank you. 🙏

Bought 4 boxes - opened 2. Best pull was Deoxys VSTAR. Going to hold the other two for a while unless I get bored and I may open them 😂. Always hard to keep sealed product around.

So stoked for this set, hope you'll open more on the channel!

I was so lucky and by far this has got to be the most rewarding set of pokemon in recent times that I pulled the card I wanted more than anything else from this set which was the Mewtwo Vstar….a-lot going on with the artwork but just a really gorgeous card. Enjoyed your opening.

Hi, I opened the first 5 packs of my Elite Trainer Box and got Zamazanta VStar, Leon Trainer (Signed), Toxtricity (GG09) and a cheecky Grant full art (GG62). Very cool set with a lot of amazing art and variety.

Just did a vid opening mine, and got soo many pulls. This set definitely competes with Evolving Skies in terms of sick designs and alt arts!

I just opened my ETB, I got the vstar mewtwo card, gold dialga origin forme, vstar rotom, a couple of Vs and the Galarian art electivire

Great pulls! We really wanted to keep one sealed, but couldn't... so glad we didn't as we managed to pull the mewtwo alt art!! 🔥

Just ordered mine, should arrive in about a week, very excited! I haven’t bought anything for a set since Chilling Reign, so it’s nice to be able to get back into the tcg!

Last christmas I bought some elite trainer and various pokemon go boxes and filled the advent calendar with pokemon booster for my family. it was a nice build up to christmas! I hold them until next christmas.

Worth opening and saving sealed kinda no brainer it’s pokemon .

Thank you 👏 seriously I’m sitting here looking at my collection wanting to open more but I already pulled a Charizard I wanted, and Pikachu … but ya I’ll just wait to find more to open anything els up I was like going back and forth with it then you said that thank you

The thumbnail: "Before you buy!" The comments: "I've opened 10 ETBs already"

Could you do a video on what you would do in a perfect scenario if you could go back in time to the beginning of Sworld & shield era? What set would you buy to exclusively hold? How much of what set would you buy to crack? What sets/singles do you wish you waited to buy at a better price? Great ETB by the way

Yes, buy some, hold some, open some.

I opened 2 ETBs and pulled 1 full art trainer the rest was garbage. Done with opening this set

Awesome first pack magic there Jake! Looks like a fun set 👌

Took me a while to just find a box lol everywhere has been sold out

Great pulls!!! Now im pumped to open some packs!!

Cracked an ETB tonight! Pulled the Raikou V GG & a VMax on my first pack. Gotta love it. I don’t have the budget to crack a ton but I’ll get the different tins and boxes as they come out for the promos

I pulled Giratina, Arceus , 2x Suicunes and 4 secret pikachus in one case winning!

Etb costs $55 at most places

I've opened 2 etb's so far and pulled Mewtwo vstar, deoxys vstar, Raikou v and zeraora vmax from the galarian gallery. Loving this set so far!

Looks to be a fun set to open. Looks like the pull rates are really high, so might as well open as the cards themselves will not be worth a whole lot by the end of the run. That Palkia is not going to be worth more than $10 here in a few months imo

Just know 90% of the "hits" will be worth like 85cents in 2 weeks

I unfortunately have no self control and rip pretty much as soon as i get it. Did manage to pull Deoxys Vmax, Both Pikachus and Suicune V so I am very happy to open this set.

I opened up 3 Regi boxes a couple days ago, found a bunch at Walmart and bought 3 of them. I was able to get Hisuian Zoroark and a few other cards. I just bought 2 etbs today from a local shop and will open it up after work tonight !

I REALLY HOPE that by November 18 (which is my birthday) it stays at £50 because I REALLY want. Lucario is and always will be my favourite Pokémon so I am hoping ill be able to get it but I got doubts

I had 1 etb full of error packs, extra code cards and between 11 and 14 cards inside some even had 3 rares/full arts. So far so good on the set 😄

I have been wondering if it's better to hold on to sealed for years to come or just open. Thankx for the video, I will now just leave one sealed once I'm able to buy one

ayyy love the backaround music i have that on my spotify playlist anyways im thinking of buying 2 crown Zenith pc elite trsiner box and opening one then saving the second i might try to get a couple more before the pokemon center sells out

When the gold cards are actually good! Nice first pull.

So I bought 1 Crown Zenith ETB at my nearby Walmart today. Pulled the Hatterene Vmax alternate art, Lucario Vstar promo, Glaceon Vstar, Simisear Vstar, Zamazenta Vstar, Hatterene V, full art Swablu, full art Manaphy, and finally a reverse holo Mewtwo & Kyogre. This box was loaded to hell! 😲

The palkia gets my hopes up... Watch me pull like a regular v

What’s better bang for buck… plain ETB at $55 or POKÉMON Center ETB for $65? 🔰

Lol oh I'm opening all of mine once they show up later today. And I'm heading out in about 30 mins to find two more😎. I need to get this video out by tomorrow at the latest.

Loving this set! Can’t wait to open more

6:10 that’s definitely me lol, great pulls btw. This is definitely worth it

Just got my first etb, cracked it. Had the secret rare pikachu and the mewtwo alt! Very happy indeed haha

My wife just opened her box from the pokemon center and she ended up with an art gallery Cynthia and Gardenia, as well as a GlaceonV

3 ETBs and yet to get a properly centered promo... I've also only had 1 decent hit which was the Zoroark in 30 packs!

Gold Rare in 1st pack.. congratulations! I already see myself not getting a single one in the 5 ETBs that I preorderd :D

Would be cool if they did a peel sticker on the artwork cover!

I pulled an Origin Forme Palkia on my first ETB. I plan on buying more.

Bro just made back the whole ETB with that Palkia VSTAR 😂😂

My first ebt had a Arceus so I had to go hard nd buy two more etbs nd keep one sealed. Just got the pikachu box nd ordered a minor tin display and both regis. The mini tin display the best sealed asset the rest could get opened honestly. The cz Pokémon center one is a good sealed investment too.

My theory is they loaded the first wave of packs, so when they do a rerelease it will not be the same pull rates

As a noob collector, what do you do with all the excess amount of worthless repeat cards?

Got one closed and will open more if I got money lol.

i think i will keep mine sealed because i felt like opening my unbroken bonds etb for 40 dollars was a waste because no pulls and right now it is worth 300 dollars, plus crown zenith is like one of those sets which are like better than others as they have a promo and 10 packs

Getting my PC ETB in today. I want to keep it sealed, but I'm going to be tempted to open it!

From crown zenith I got the Mewtwo vstar

My son opened his ETB today, he pulled the Irida, Zeraora Vstar, Zacian V & Pikachu all from the Galarian Gallery. He also got a Volo Full Art, Rayquaza Vmax, Zeraora Vstar, Mew V, Zamazenta V & Radiant Charjabug . All from the one ETB.

I cracked and got two etbs. First etb I opened I had a gold dialga. Kinda bummed because I have Vstar Universe version. My duskull, lapras and turtwig I pulled had some crazy print lines on them. That's saying a lot because my Vstar Universe copies don't. It sucks that they split up the 201-209 god pack from vstar universe though. Actually just sucks that it doesn't look like they have any god's packs whatsoever in CZ. I'd still go with vstar universe any day of the week. I might pick up a couple more CZ products just to try and pull an Arceus to go with my vstar universe Giratina and Dialga though.

Opened one of the promo boxes, Pulled Charizard V, Simisear Vstar and Hoopa V Alt art. All from 4 packs :0

yeah the urge to open booster definitely out weighs the discipline to not touch them 😂

Did you actually answer the question your video posed though? What’s the best move with this set?

I got a serious question I'm hoping u can answer. I'm hoping to get crown zenith but shinning fates got my attention too, which one is better, zenith or shinning fates.

I got one to open and one to save 😈

Is the hisuian zoroark vstar premium collection worth buying?

I got the dialga and a few other pulls in my only ETB. My opinion is biased hehe

I'd open 1 for every 1 I have sealed

Listen to him say hey what's up everybody at 0.25 speed lol

I'm so excited to open this set!

Keeping pokemon center ETBs sealed, going to buy a cz ETB every paycheck

Nice pulls! Palkia gold is great

I got the Palkia in my etb as well!

I've opened around 96 packs and pulled 4 of the pikachu cards. The only secret rare in the set

I pulled 9 good cards, full arts,v's, gg's ect from one etb

I pulled the secret rare pikachu, so hyped!

5 minutes earlier:When u trying so hard to collect Pokémon|5 minutes later:😋😋😋cards😋😋😋

I got the secret Pikachu on my first pack

Bought 4 ETB’s for $45 each. Debated about buying a fifth one, but decided against it until yesterday, but definitely messed up. Prices spiked by $20, so ended up not buying. Planning on opening 2 ETB’s, and keep the other 2 for later/selling.

First pack I pulled the mewtwo vstar lol I couldnt believe it

That was crazy first pack magic

Those gold cards though 😍

I opened 200 CZ, I got a hit to pack ratio of 6.2 per 10 packs

Mad init. Because every single one of these I’ve saw opened on RU-vid has had lots of hits. I open one yesterday and got hardly any. ‘Normal’ rates if anything 😂🤷🏽‍♂️ Just Got a video ready to upload to the new Pokémon channel… just need a channel name… any suggestions?…

Zacian and zamacenrta boxes 11 packs I think

I pulled the same Palika on my 1st ETB. Already some selling for $100+ on eBay

Kinda got back into Pokemon collecting/buying and selling here and there and I almost can't justify putting a ton of money down on any product with the prices of full art card prices dropping so significantly after a short period of time. It reminds me of being in my last relationship, she was really bad for me but the booty was 👌🤦‍♂️😂

i pulled the garitina i was so happy

it is at least 60€ here in germany and booster boxes will never go below 105€. Sucks ass lol

he pulled palkia gold and didnt even flinch

Soooo.....open or not?

Is this a good product for a beginner to the game?

Don’t FOMO on this set guys, it’ll be on store shelves for 2 more years, just like Shining Fates, and just like Pokémon Go.

Answer to the title: Yes, yes, and yes

open crown zenith. it's not as good as vstar universe but it is a cheap, fun set to open!! i don't see these going up in price. love that they gave us a free lucario vstar that was an SAR in vstar universe, consolation prize if you get unlucky

got gold giratina vstar my first pack

Opened 1 and pulled gold Tina sold for 150

When is it coming out?

Im gonna order one next week i cant wait

Opened one single pack at a midnight launch for this pack and I no joke with that single pack pulled the gold giratina!! Best believe everyone in the shop was turned up and wow was I so excited😁
