What will the Pokémon TCG look like in 2024? 

Shameless self promo: DM me on Instagram @evas.binder to sell me your cards/slabs/sealed product! Also can find me on Whatnot (referral): whatnot.com/invite/evas_binder

I just discovered your channel a week ago when you came back. Very refreshing personality and opinions, which I mostly agree with. I'm strictly a collector, not interested in making money from the hobby. Raikou is my favorite, so it's cool to see another legendary beast collector. ez sub. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Read your article on TCGplayer about how to start collecting which brought me here. I watch a lot of RU-vidrs and you make a lot of good points I don't hear anywhere else. I hope you continue to content more frequently. Subscribed

I’ve been heavy into collecting xy lately. I love the screaming in Japan text on the secret rares! Although I’ve been picking them up raw-near mint/mint and holding off on the grading portion, and just getting a nice nm looking card from my favorite sets. I also think xy and sun n moon reverse holos will pick up soon. They don’t make the designs like that anymore, and to find near mint/mint versions of them will be harder to track down in time since a lot of ppl trash them or just toss them in a box.

Predictions for 2024... cards will come out; I will buy a single booster box of each set and put them in my storage box; watch YT videos about Pokemon cards.

Thanks for the mention!

Thanks for the video! So glad you’re back.

Love the predictions!

Really enjoy and appreciate your videos. You are a breath of fresh air, and love your opinions. My son met you at a Collect-A-Con, and he really enjoyed the conversation and said you were great to talk with. Hope 2024 is a great one for you.

welcome back to youtube! I like your perspective.

Happy New Year!!! Great video my friend! Thanks for sharing the love of the hobby!

Hey, loving your videos! Although im not a slab collector, your channel is super informative while not leaning too hard into investing/money topics. Happy New Year!

Such a terrific and informative video! To both the deeply involved collector to the casual one. You covered valid points I feel anyone can understand and can be backed with their own research. Clear and concise the whole way through. I’m deff wicked bullish on 151 in the coming years for sureee, I mean you know lolll

I like the cases for your slabs, going to need to find myself some.

ive been loving how cheap a lot of the illustration rares from scarlet and violet are, hoping the new sets keep it up and i can get some good cards at affordable prices

I agree with the SV sets 5-8 going to be an upgrade like every other era. One might be good to invest in but we will see. I also agree with sun and moon tag teams. The pops are so low compared to ultra modern and way cooler cards in my opinion.... I think the mid-era sets will go up too but not this year. Those cards just aren't known enough and popularity is a huge factor right now compared to rarity. For now...

Really enjoying these new videos, the ramblings of an active mind. Very happy that you're back :)

Yes.

Sub’d. Great video 👍🏼

It's a great time to pick up some harder to find singles. I also see 151 being one of the most desired modern sets for years to come, so feeling really good about my sealed 151. Love your thoughts and takes, happy new year!

Paldea and Paradox I feel are so slept on and I love it. It allows me to continue to acquire BB's at $80-$90 consistently and I will gladly continue to do so I do agree that this year could really be setup for some banger sets. I would love to see something like the Mewtwo and Charizard fight scenes play out in sets going forward. Telling a great story, with great artwork and tough pull rates on those chase cards are something I would love to see Pokemon do in 2024!

Subscribed 🎉 Eva what boxes do you think is the best investing in for mid/long term hold?

Been loving your resurgence in the RU-vid space. Curious what exactly you mean by “from a collectibility standpoint singles will do better than slabs”. Curious what perspective this statement pertains to and what your “unit of measurement” is that will make singles “better”. Thanks!

Q/A: Regarding your TCG Player link, I'm going to be getting on the site to get a slew of cards for GLC format play, and my q is if I use your link to sign in/create an account, put the stuff in my cart and organize it all, log out, get on the next day via my computer not accessing the site via your link, will the cards I put in my cart the day before via your link still be coded to give to you or should I use your link, the same specific one like in this video description each time I log into TCG Player in order for it to work? I'm asking because I haven't done one of these personal link things before. I'd say thank you, but really me getting the stuff is for me, but helping you, so you're welcome ha

Glad someone talked about the grading. Out of the thousands of cards I have sent for me and others I haven’t sent one to CGC. When they made their changes it took my interest from 0 to lower than.

I like this content ❤

What an intro 🥳

I really love your haircut and your style so much

Not even my niche, but spot on with the predictions! Howeverrrr I think we only have a year of peace to collect pokemon cards. Speaking of... PSA 10s of Tyranitar.. hit me up I'm interested lol

Whew I was worried about getting my Shawn basset omega boxes in 2024.

Some interesting things I have learned from this video as a new beginner into the Hobby. Its always fun to see what the vets think

If you were a gym leader what type of Pokemon would you use? also love your channel!!

Where can I pick up that Sylveon plushie? That looks so cool.

1. Evolving Skies will get a Scarlet and Violet variant set. Isn't it interesting as of January 2024, there hasn't been one Illustration full-art of an eevee anywhere? Buy many, many boxes if this happens. Slabs for Sealed, Sealed for Slabs. Juggle values, I love it. 2. Rumours in my network circle has been swirling for MONTHS, that Pokemon is working on a remake of X and Y. If this is the case, all Yvetal cards will jump in price. Also, it is not confirmed if this will follow Scarlet and Violet in 2 years, or will be a spin-off title like Arceus or a remake like Let's Go. Hopefully without the Go part. 3. End of 2024 the vintage market will already pass the stability in pricing, and you'll see sharp signs of increases in Gen 1-3 Cards in PSA 10/9. Scarlet and Violet 151 has already started a new wave of collectors, and some vintage slabs are only a price-tag away ;)

I've been looking at those for some pickups the past 3-4 months. Finding clean copies is like nearly impossible and if they are clean they have been graded for sure. Nice to see my thoughts of picking those up has been accurate 8]

Have you ever looked into the playing part of the Pokémon tcg?

❤ fun 🎉 happy new year

Thank you for your financial advice! :^)

I'm worried that if all the rippers and collectors leave the hobby, that playable cards will become much more expensive. I've been really enjoying buying entire decks for the price of a meal at mcdonalds, and I'd hate to go back to paying like 70 bucks for a card like they did in the olde days. What do you think?

looks dabbin collab 😢

Out of curiosity, why didn’t you like scarlet and violet 1-4? Personally, I loved it!

Love To See You Pumping The XY ERA Too 😂. Great Minds Think Alike!

This year is going to be a storm. Calling it.

If Pokemon company doesn't come out with something insanely desirable the way alt arts did in swsh this era there might not be much to do and this series very well could go out with a whimper .. because honestly they've already explored almost every which way an an AR and SAR Pokemon can just chill on a card and the serious lack of AR and SAR in Shiny Treasure is pretty underwhelming compared to V Star Universe which was so loaded front to back with amazing art

Nice video! I personally believe that in 2024 many collectors won't even grade cards anymore... Too many scandals, 6s that become 10s and viceversa... I feel like many collectors woke up and realized that grading is just another moneygrab

I’m just anxious to see what the market for people like me that just want to feed our family through short term collecting will be.

I like the ramblings but you have alot of cool things your saying

I hope you are right. Also I hope this year is the year Scalpers get so burned they run for the hills when they hear Pokemon.

😊

Nice moonswatch

Because you didn't mention it, i will. SGC has been grading longer than CGC, BGS etc. They have been gaining space in the TCG world over the past year. They are more than a legitimate company and have been. Just not known for TCG, which it will be.

Looking forward to 2024 just because of how calm it’s gonna be, can’t wait to buy stuff at affordable prices 😸

There is currently a listing for the entei ex dark explorers English psa10 for 2k, and a Japanese psa10 for $228. Why the discrepancy? Isn’t Japanese versions valued higher than English when it comes to Pokémon?

i believe prices will go up in 2026 gen 10 and 30 celebrations

I really want to see more johto cards!! Where are my meganiums at.

Almost sounds like you have something personal against that grading company first I've heard anything. But then again idk I use psa

Sgc is my grading company all day. 30 year history and the ceo who took over is making all the right moves. They actually care about centering on the cards

I will never submit to PSA again. My first submition was sent 6 months ago and I have recieved no updates since shipping was confirmed...

I'm so happy you're back to making content. Whenever I seen an Eva video, I click.

I think TCPI will make another Eevee set because of how insane Eevee heroes and Evolving skies did. That's my crazy prediction.

Think we are going to see sword and shield alts trend down in value and vintage tick back up people will wake up

Can i just say amazing outfit?

Do you ever play the game?

Modern graded cards will never distinguish themselves like vintage graded cards. IMO. Reason is raw cards are babied now compared to late 90's

CGC doing terribly in comic slabs too...

To me, cgc always seemed like it was for whatnot streamers who wanted cheap slabs back quickly to flip

My prediction is something Gold and Silver related for the 25th anniversary. A whole set focused on gen 2 would be cool

I think the fate of the pokemon tcg is in the hands of the pokemon company right now

CGC Sus

Becket will die faster, it’s well known in deeper portion of the hobby that Becket gives out Black labels to F&F. PSA has the best reputation, but sometimes their QC does lack from time to time.

Cgc slabs can now be opened and have cards replaced without looking different they are now done

Clearly biased toward PSA, as you say yourself. It's awfully convenient to hop on the bandwagon of hating on CGC while ignoring the blatant issues with PSA.

Not all girls like pokemon. There's not a consensus of it.

CGC has a better quality slab where PSA feels cheap. CGC has UV protection, PSA does not. As a collector CGC offers more than PSA. I think it's interesting that of course you shill for PSA when you obviously own PSA slabs in the background. I have both and I prefer CGC for preservation as a collector.

do you ever see yourself cracking slabs? or are you a "slab lady" as well?

Switch from Pokémon to one piece

She says Entei wrong fake Pokémon fan

marry me

Your channel and collection rules Eva be my wife haha please we can merge are giant collections together hahaha 😆

Pokémon cards won’t do well in the future because the games & new Pokémons are trash !
