You wouldn't buy an English Booster Box for $300 USD - so why this?

It happens every year - a huge gap between English Booster Box releases - the last was Paldea Evolved and the next will be Obsidian Flames - so the newest Japanese Set spikes in value. This time around - it's the return to the Kanto region in Pokemon 151.
Naturally filled with incredibly beautiful Art Rares of Pokemon from the Kanto region - Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, just to name a few - it also comes packed with Special Art Rares of Charizard ex, Blastoise ex and Venusaur ex.
But if that wasn't enough, there are new Full Art Trainer Rares too - and they're surging the price of Pokemon 151 Booster Boxes around the world. What should be a retail price of 5800yen is instead reaching heights of 16000yen - nearly $150USD - and it's not showing signs of slowing, despite Pokemon 151 being Made To Order.
So what's causing all this? Will the madness stop, or is there no end in sight? I've got my thoughts - but I'd love to know yours.

man Dream League was a good set - who remember? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iLj6Np2OTgA.html BTW - at the 2:16 mark I say "...and that comes from the set being very limited" - this is in reference to LAUNCH DATE only, not the inevitable flurry of waved releases and the made-to-order prints. I know I should have fleshed my points out earlier about price manipulation + fake sales - not to mention with a bit more craft - I'm not trying to play both sides here, my brain is legitimately back in Australia and I covered a lot of ground here in a short span of time. Hope you can understand - much love as always!

nobody forced you to collect japanese cards. They have been niche for the longest time, why do people start to care so much for them now? Oh right, money. Fact is, if you collect English cards like you always do before the japanese boom, you wont have this problem. Things are cool in there. You can find those boxes at retail or even wholesales no problem.

@esbainter Год назад

Just had a huge discussion about this last night with a group of friends that are trying to get into the hobby. It sucks how the joy of opening a box of MODERN cards can be instantly ruined because of a lackluster pull.

@armandoperalta6931 Год назад

I’m here for the master sets so it’s just less cards I need in the next box 😅 usually I’ll open like 2-3 and then start trading and buying singles.

@NawiPokemon Год назад

Hope you’ve been enjoying America so far! Looking forward to seeing the vlog :) This year I've gone off opening japanese pokemon product because of your reasons exactly. You open a box, get a full art pokemon and instantly see it as an L. I just know that if I buy one of these made to order boxes, I'll still open it and will still feel bad afterwards. My love for opening packs has instead moved to english packs when I'm at my locals playing prereleases or just opening the odd pack here and there. Opening packs with other people is just so much more fun. I hope I get to enjoy opening Japanese packs again soon too.

It was awesome meeting you at card party, really appreciate you signing my silver pikachu plush 😊 I totally forgot to mention, but congratulations on making it to Worlds Japan, that is a huge achievement! As for this set, I'm also waiting for prices to come down (hopefully). I definitely let fomo get to me with VStar Universe and Triplet Beat, but held off on SV base set until recently. Got my one box of 151 ordered for the time being, but I'll be keeping an eye on boxes and singles prices. Take care on your travels in the meantime and hope you get some rest 😅

i personally will open this set also because of the wonderful common , uncommon or rare cards. I like the art of this set with all 151 kanto starter a lot and gets me some childhood flashbacks. Its expensive, but sometimes its worth for some personal exerperinces in my opinion. I bought one from pokemoncenter japan and one on another online side.

OMG I got name checked, well not by name, but I'm the New Zealand guy who bought up every Japanese Sun and Moon booster box I could find here in NZ in 2020. Yes I have been watching the prices closely. I opened some Dream League and Tag Bolt when it was $250US a box. but woudn't open it now. Still have about 40 boxes of Dream League, Tag Bolt, MIracle Twin, Remix Bout and Alter Genesis left. Thanks Julan for another great video!

HOWEVER now that I see the prices they’re going for sealed and the financial situation I’m currently in it makes me feel dumb. 😂 I have a box of 151 coming and I’m probably going to open it unless I can find the singles I want for a decent price.

@Geddoed Год назад

Thank you for pointing this out. I've been for a while now trying to ask the question of would you buy a brand new english booster box set for 3 to 4x retail price and because english sellers aren't as in tune with the Japanese market they would say no but, can't address the question as in depth. English retail booster box is now $160 but market retail is $100ish comparatively Japanese retail at $45 and the boxes are no where close to that. It's just insane to think about

@adamriddle9886 Год назад

An honest question here JLUV, I got one box from my local shop, I did pull the Erika SAR. Is this something you would hold, or is this something that should be sold right away to be the most financially responsible? Or can we really not tell where it's going at this point? Thanks!

@poketrainerwen Год назад

Have to remember - Japan is printing for Japan, not foreiginers. If you can only buy 1 booster box in Japan per acc as a Japanese citizen, imagine that in the USA or EU - Only 1 English BB per customer? The prices would SKY ROCKET. US/EU/AUS etc can buy cases on cases of English BB's at their will a long with blisters, 3 pack blisters, tins, special boxes etc. Japan only has BB's and 1-2 special products with packs, inventory is LIMITED.

@treeninja8924 Год назад

I think one of the easiest solutions would be quite simple. Make all products (international and Japanese) come out on the same day, with the same exact items inside (just with different languages). This would break the overall dip of prices the English cards get, since the hype of the set was already finished when the Japanese set came out. This would also break the scalping scandal, since the only difference now would no longer be the date the set came out (and how rare they are) but instead the language.

@fbom94 Год назад

@kid_gen Год назад

Market manipulation is certainly a factor, but it's a combination of so many things that it would take a huge essay to write into this RU-vid comment. As it applies to Japan specifically, the Yen has taken a massive hit against the US Dollar. It's a topic that no one in the Pokemon RU-vid seems to touch on at all, though I understand we're not economists here, we're just here to buy cardboard. But some exploration is badly needed in on that end. Japanese people are using Pokemon cards as an alternate investment vehicle, and I suspect it's not just popularity/scalping/manipulation driving the market. It's likely a lot of adults looking to park their Yen into an investment that is not going to sink overnight (like stocks did). The Japanese economy has been weakening for years, and people are just looking to stay above water.

@yiggawhat Год назад

very interesting insight, that would be a reasonable explanation to why it would jump that high. A rise of 400% in the span of a month though is nowhere near real gain. Someone who would want to invest their money wouldnt get dream league then, for example. They would buy something else thats still not pumped (vmax climax, shiny star v) Who in their right mind would pay 800 bucks for a BB that was 300 a month ago. Surely no one who is scared the main fiat of their country is tanking.

I opened an eevee heroes gym box a couple of years ago that I bought for £150. That box is pushing 1.5k now. Like you im struggling to justify opening jp boxes that i own, knowing how much money I'll be flushing down the toilet if the pulls are bad

@vinnyninja3552 Год назад

I unfortunately bought 3 because I've always loved Japanese more than English, but only reason I paid the price I paid is because I seen where celebrations is at, and figure since that's where celebrations is siting at, that's gonna be the lowest it goes, not considering this has way more to it then that one 🤷‍♂️ that's more just my justification to myself 😅 I'll keep one sealed open two, and buy singles later down the road when the new set comes out. I also ordered one from Japan for retail and I might end up selling that one and put it towards getting singles is my logic I'm gonna go with right now.

You have Japanese sellers still coming up with loads of sealed 151 cases, even after the announcement from PC, so I doubt much will be done to prevent this. I am happy they did come up a solution and lets be honest, it's the best solution, which is allowing people to order at least 1 booster box at MSRP. There's still opportunity for people to buy Japanese booster boxes at MSRP and I hope they do this with future special set boxes as well.

@SaiyanShoto Год назад

Keeping it sealed is nice but I personally like opening my booster boxes. I feel like keeping it sealed just because of the value I’d perpetuating the problem of people just getting these to sell them. Not to collect the cards. I haven’t bought this set though because I don’t really know how to buy Japanese booster boxes for retail lmao

@JediMasterT Год назад

I think that in general these types of products enter a weird zone of...me as a collector I would love to open a box...I haven't purchased a box yet because I think they will come down in price. HOWEVER This reminds me of the 25th anniversary special collector with the gold metal cards....I 100000% percent thought those would come down below 300$ which is 2.5x retail and they never did. They actually bottomed out at like 315 and now it's closer to 400. It all boils down to FOMO, I don't think anyone wants to pay 3x / 4x prices but if the price never comes down what are you going to do...

@pokemonbyjun Год назад

I’ve always am puzzled with how japanese products are 3x the price of MSRP, and have always felt that we the consumers are getting ripped off since the market price is manipulated.

@1XSTEALTHTWINTURBOX1 Год назад

Availability. People don't want to order online and take risk all the time. And a lot of times they want to pull the cards themselves. They want what they can't get. (Not saying they can't get it but a large amount of effort could possibly be required to get it). I am a reseller. But you'd be amazed how many people are waiting on me to get the box. Its so difficult to be fair. Japanese Distros won't give the prices people think. There's a couple products that are made to order already and how is that doing? Not very well people don't want to wait that long. Also you need to use the special system to buy & ship it to a different location and then ship it to you. So that only really benefits Japan if they're willing to wait. And yes it's better to just buy the singles obviously. Another reason why it's extra hype is because it is gen 1 pokémon with a classic art style but then extended arts attached to it. I people tend to forget that. If it was an XY evolution style art. It would not do as well or would crash very quickly if it was released now. XY got crazy because it was kind of getting difficult to obtain because it got old when the boom happened again. And it gives you that little vibe of opening base set pack.

@HeyJoshyJosh Год назад

Pokemon may "print to order", but it's not enough. One box per person is pitiful tbh, especially when it would take god knows how many boxes to pull all the secrets and complete the set. I agree with you that paying £100+ just to pull a full art arbok is not worth the risk. When jp boxes were £30 I opened them all day because it was low risk, no way I'm opening a £100 box. I don't like those odds. I'm sticking to English now. I opened a paldea evolved box and it was epic, got an alt wo-chien, gold super rod, silver foretress, 3 full arts, 3 character rares and a load of playable cards. I'm done with jp for the foreseeable future

There’s god packs too 🙄 so people are weighing boxes as well yayyyyy 🙃🤦🏻‍♂️ I love this take, I’m one that really REALLY struggles to keep things sealed, especially for a period of time. But for most, we’ve all got bills to pay, emergencies that require funds, so it is logical if you can get them at retail to sit on them for a bit. Every collectable hobby has ‘investment’ and when we all die we can’t take it with us (also state pensions are terrible lol) so makes sense - just a shame some are hoarding cases and cases 😔

@liambailey5630 11 месяцев назад

How much would one expect to pay for Japanese cards? For English you get 6 packs for £25 = £4.16 per pack. The Japanese booster boxes have 20 packs and I see one selling for around £150 = £7.50. Is that reasonable considering that it has been shipped? I'm unsure how much the Japanese cards sell for or where a reputable site is. I'm wondering if they have decreased in price since you have made this video.

@liambailey5630 11 месяцев назад

Also, I want to open some cards for fun and just hold onto them for years to see how they do. The Japanese set looks more fun with the reverse holo masterball cards, and has cards in the set that are not considered promo cards like the UK. I'm thinking of buy both English and Japanese but I'm unsure if it will be worthwhile? Would you predict the Japanese cards being more valuable than the English set?

You got 100 bucks for Vstar Universe, 90 bucks for Scarlet ex, 150+ for Violet ex, 100 bucks for Triple beat, 100 bucks for Snow Hazard, 150+ for Clay burst, and now 250 bucks for 151. How? How can someone even want to spend on more than one box per set let alone one. At that point just get the singles. You probably have a better chance at buying Iono for 1500 bucks than pulling Iono in like 7 boxes.

So glad I have no nostalgia for Gen 1, I like them fine enough, but I don’t need 151, I’ll get an English etb, but that’s really it.

last year I converted entirely to buying singles since the japanese market has become incredibly difficult and frustrating. I love japanese cards more than anything but I just can’t justify buying sealed boxes at the price they are at 😂

I think it's way too soon to tell......it will come down I think....when new sets come out people move on, everyone just does

It's funny this video posts the day after I decided to check ebay about this new set. I've been on break for collecting since mid SwSh card releases due to the inflation issue but I saw some nice cards on ads or whatever and thought to myself "Neat, I might actually buy cards for this set. Mew is my favorite Pokemon and it has a card I want". I wasn't optimistic given JP cards have been in trouble for a long while now but I thought maybe just a 10-30 USD hike would be fine for at least one box, maybe two. I checked listings for the JP set and whoo boy. Shit is insane. I know the average price for booster boxes are like 50 USD but I see listings up at like 180-225 USD. One dude was selling 10 booster boxes as a bundle for 1,000+ USD, you can't make this shit up. No way in hell I wanted to pay any of the prices for that. So, I guess I'm still on break and hope this on order set means prices will plummet but not optimistic about that...
