E definitely stands for Exponential. Haha, I opened a box of skyridge in 2009-2010, and it costed $180 back then. Now, the empty box I still have sells for half that price. Just crazy...

So I have been in contact with a local seller. We had a talk about how graded cards don't exactly have an exact market value. He agreed, but on that point, he referred me to your channel. That was 3 days ago. I absolutely love your content. I have watched a ton of your videos since (I took vacation time as I just bought a first edition one of a kind puppy and have been puppy training lol). Just wanted to say, great work. I can see the effort put in here. You have a new sub. Also had another local seller who backed out of a deal, which was unfortunate. Had an ungraded stellar condition gold star shining gyrados. I will lose sleep over that.

I have a patreon service set up for investing/collecting advice, if you wanted a comprehensive response, as I unfortunately do not have the time to respond to all the questions I receive. In general, Something like the Master scroll you mentioned is significantly rarer than any set card. Rarity is not the only variable in determining value, however it is the number one variable in determining availability. Also something like the Master Scroll has unique art as well that was never released in English.

I think Expedition was printed less. At the time Expedition was released, it was only released in the USA, not in Europe. However a lot of players/sellers from Europe started to buy boxes from USA resellers and the product was sold out fast. Because the product wasn't intended to go to Europe at that time they printed less for sure. Later on (weeks and weeks later) Expedition was also available for Europe but by that time Aquapolis was almost out. Skyridge was also a normal worldwide release. I do think the "hype for Skyridge, has all to do with the Crystal Pokemon in the set and not with amount of product.

Box prices have probably adjusted to the crystal prices, the boxes seemed low at $3k where one crystal charizard PSA 10 would pay for the box and then some. Even if you didn't get the charizard the other crystals would get you a decent amount of the way there since they're $500-$1000ea and you're going to get on average two crystals a box. Worst case that's like $1000 if both graded 10 which you've got good odds on. Then there all the set holos and reverses to grade and sell .. it seems to me like the boxes while expensive still had a good shot at making a profit from cracking and grading, hence the price adjustment. A lot of product is getting cracked and sold on insta lately, I'm seeing more and more people doing raffles and breaking product. This trend is probably going to speed up the rate of scarcity on wotc and EX era product.

not every pack fresh is guaranteed 10s tho. i dont think theres any correlation on the rise of crystal prices. pretty sure the rise is about the population getting smaller and smaller.
@pierceb5723

Yep not every pack fresh card is guaranteed a 10, but skyridge print quality was very good. It was the end of the wotc era and they had worked out the majority of their print and quality control issues by this set - it's evident by the amount of 10s pack fresh skyridge submissions get. I see more 10s than not. I think crystal prices (and regular holo prices) most definitely had an impact on the box price, if you can crack a box and make a profit the box price is too low, this was the case with skyridge. Scarcity of course is also a reason, the fact that people have cracked numerous skyridge boxes over the past 6 months would contribute to the rise.

Hello, I am a German guy and I have a question: is it worth to buy German cards? Well, you cant grade them, but they are the same cards. The cards are cheaper to buy (Base set, Gs, Shining, Crystal). As an example, there is a normal Holo german Crystal Charizard for 130€ on the market while there is a 200€ shining Charizard english card on the market (all nm). What should I buy, in what I should Invest (well, I cant spend 10 000€ in cards from one day to another, but do you know something that is veeery good to invest in right now?) I would buy one or two big cards ^^. And I thought: well, Shinings/Crystals are very popular and Charizard is very Popular. I just wanted to know: what is the best card you could buy for up to ~250€, I dont want to invest in something that isnt extremely good/ dont want to invest sth bad.

Goi goi German pokemon cards Pros/Cons: -) the people who might be interested are more limited bc not everyone talks german (Austria, Germany and a part of Switzerland). +) as you said the cards are much cheaper as the english ones so you will have "easier" access to them. +) people are always willing to pay for some good old nostalgic cards like charizard (glurak), blastoise (turtok), mewtwo etc... +) some regular german cards can(!) get more expensive than the english ones bc of the simple fact that there are not as many on the market as in the US. -) but for the most part people from the US are willing to pay way more for their english cards than germans for german cards If you wanna invest in german cards, you have to be very careful. Dont buy random stuff. Be precise and look carefully what the market is telling you. Oh and btw you can grade german cards 🤔
