You forget the biggest factor of the hype that 151 brings. It’s the only and first sent you can truly catch em all. In Pokédex order. Not to mention each Pokemon got its own illustrator that did the full evolution line. This set can’t be beat.
151 relies on nostalgia for kids that grew up with the original. Still a great set however pound for pound vstar universe is better. That set is phenomenal and it doesnt rely on nostalgia. Give the vstar universe time and it will be a set you wish you had more of
I agree with your analogy with the masterball, how it is a common card but just hard to pull. The problem I have with the masterballs is that they don't have a complete 151 masterball set, the ex pokemon like zapdos, blastoise, charizard, they don't have a masterball reverse treatment.
Ha you already know this set will be super expensive in 2 to 3 years, It happend with evolutions lol it was Walmart garbage at one point, try getting evolutions now haaaa it’s 151. I’m investing on it.
I like both, however I do really love the English sealed booster bundle booster box that comes with 10 bundles. I see that definitely staying strong and will always have a market. IMO. Masterball reverse are amazing tho!
Eevee heroes is $500 while evolving skies is $700 but japanese moonberon is more than English. In terms of 151, japanese booster box will be $300 in 2-3 years but English will out perform it.
