Alt arts are a breath of fresh air to the tcg. It makes the pokemon look more lively and it’s always unique to each pokemon. No cut and paste of the any previous artwork.

I really do feel that alt the arts are here to stay and that even though they fluctuate quite often, eventually overtime they will start to even out at more favorable prices. Alt arts are my favorite cards produced by Pokémon so far, and I don’t see them falling off anytime soon.

Great video as always! 👌🏻 I find the alternate art videos particularly helpful as this is what I am currently collecting. I love the card arts and a lot of my favourite Pokémon have alternate card versions. With the dip in price I have taken some of your advice by buying psa 10 versions of the cards for the long term value, aswell as understanding that I am buying these for collection and not investment. I totally agree with what you have said in previous videos with singles being more towards collectibles and sealed being more investment and I have stuck to this principle. Last month I have bought the psa 10 gengar vmax and rayquaza vmax which I am incredibly happy with (it was my bday last month had to treat myself 😂) keep up the awesome videos 😄🔥

I think we’re going to see a retrace down. Another KZitem made a good point that with so many good sets coming out that people want to buy, especially the team rocket set early next year people are going to sell off some of there extra sealed product and single to go buy new sets. As always I’ll come back to this comment in 6 months 😅

Alt arts hooked my interest back to the hobby. When I recently saw the SWSH cards, I was hooked to watching Pokemon opening/investing videos over the past 6 months. With that, I discovered 151, which is my first set back into the game in 20 years. I think the alt arts long term will hold my value in the mind of collectors due to the art as opposed to Gen I cards having value simply because they are old.

Unpopular opinion but generally speaking, I prefer the SIRs and IRs from Scarlet and Violet era over the Alt Arts from SW&SH. They just look cleaner and nicer to me. That being said there are a handful of really good Alt Arts. I don't really care about them if I miss out though.

@@themobbdeep66 I agree I like the art more in SV. Like I’ve said to many, if SWSH was the golden age of pokemon boom, SV is like a modern renaissance with the big shift in art style, silver borders, change in the set symbols. But I’m a completionist, so it’d be hard not to finish my SWSH AA collection. But my favorite ultra modern card in my collection is the Giratina V alt, such a different and beautiful card.

I just started to get interessted in investing on pkm cards and I kind of struggle if it is even worth considering buying cards that are meta relevant. What happens if they cycle out of standard. Will they most likely just drop? Would rly love to see ur opinion on this in a video.

I think people expect too much out of alt arts. Some of the top chase cards from previous eras, even some gold stars are 300-400 dollars. The charizard mega from xy is like 300. Even the alt arts from sun and moon are a few hundred bucks at most. And those have less mint copies around. People buying a giratina v right now at 300 or 400 cards really expect it to go up that much?

I’m curious looking back after S&V era if alt art value is mostly tied to economics or if it’s just a natural progression of prices from new and undervalued to highly valued with sets becoming less available to their actual value (as far as such a thing exists) after sealed product is gone.

I knew as soon as these prices were increasing for all alt parts. I knew that this was going to be a short. Before they started falling. It just shocked me how much people were spending to get these cards so they wouldn’t miss out. If you didn’t buy the card when it was cheap, then it doesn’t make sense to purchase when it’s on the rise. I even saw KZitem Pokemon investor channels that were preaching one thing but not following their own advice. I’m not mentioning names but this individual lost $400 within a month and a half. It was crazy.
