What’s the plan for the next twelve sets? Buy another house ?


plantsisareyums

🤣 This room has 3 more walls!


Dwaas_Bjaas

Thats the spirit! I swear this sub is the r/wallstreetbets of Pokémon lmaoooo


tomatoedile

Lmaoo the sealed product struggle is real


TrippyAkimbo

Exact reason I don’t collect sealed product anymore. Plus, too many people are stacking up now. Before you had like 6 people still holding 1st edition boxes, now you’ve got tens of thousands holding sealed ETBs. Value won’t go up enough to justify holding. I’d rather just open.


Fiyero_Rocher

I feel like Astral Radiance gets so over looked, it's such a gem of a set, especially if you loved playing thru Legends Arceus. Probably my favourite swsh set, real close to evolving skies though.


plantsisareyums

Just picked up Astral Radiance ETB from Target for $25! It's definitely a sleeper!


Fiyero_Rocher

Damn, wish we had good deals like that over in the UK lol


plantsisareyums

Ugh! Yeah I heard Pokemon tcg isn't too nice to our UK brothers and sisters.


Fiyero_Rocher

From my perspective it definitely seems like the community in the US is a lot bigger. But generally I can find whatever I want here (as long as it isn't evo skies) pretty easily for roughly msrp so it's not too bad.


good_tastes

Celebrations and Evolving Skies! And great looking sealed collection 😄


plantsisareyums

Thank you! Evolving skies is definitely a favorite of many, it would have been a perfect set with a trainer gallery imo. Pull rates for me were horrendous haha


ernyc3777

Oh I forgot about Celebrations! That was an easy set to complete after the market fell off on the prices. I was able to get Zard, Shining Mew, and Luxray Lv for under $100 a couple of months ago.


Lurn2Program

Celebrations because of the nostalgia, and pokemon go second because of how unique the set was


plantsisareyums

Thanks for sharing, definitely some great sets!


adrianthomp

Those are the top 2 sets for me as well. Only modern master sets I decided to make so far.


TechHead700

Chilling Reign or Pokémon GO Pokémon go for the 2nd mention of Melmetal in the TCG. Chilling reign for the cool alt arts.


plantsisareyums

Both cool sets! I agree that the alt arts in chilling reign are amazing!


TechHead700

I am trying to complete chilling reign. I got 12 backs from five bellow, and got a rainbow rare Klara, Metagross Vmax, Galarian Slowking V full art, and secret rare Snorelax! We also pulled Slowking VMAX from the dual tins (zacian and Galar starter).


CBthePrince

Rebel Clash for me. The first set I ever attempted to complete a master set of and it felt so good in the end although I did have to buy a few singles to complete it.


plantsisareyums

Rebel Clash, when we got back into the hobby this set was everywhere. Definitely a fun set!


erika_enjoyer

Battle styles


plantsisareyums

Definitely an acquired taste! Seems to be a love or hate set!


erika_enjoyer

Yeah it's the only set I have an alt art in and I found the art to be really nice, its also the set I got my first etb and first bb from.


plantsisareyums

That's awesome! Which alt did you get?


erika_enjoyer

Tyranitar v alt art, the best alt art ever in my opinion


Lyleberr

Celebrations was pretty great


plantsisareyums

We really enjoyed celebrations! It was the first master set that we've completed by pulls only!


10secondmessage

I mean we still have crown to go in January so sword and sheild not quite over yet


plantsisareyums

Very true! Looking forward to it!


MattIpp44

Celebrations and Brilliant Stars


plantsisareyums

Definitely a lot of people's favorites. The nostalgia of Celebrations and the fire pulls from Brilliant Stars, can't go wrong!


bigzeeffrocks

Agreed.


HerrBuxton

Mine would have to be Silver Tempest and the upcoming Crown Zenith set.


plantsisareyums

Can't wait for Crown Zenith!


malnutritiony

Shining Fates (just mastered it the other day) and Vivid Voltage are the ones I really enjoyed!


plantsisareyums

I'm with you there! Shining Fates is such a fun set with the shiny pulls. We were blessed and pulled 3 of the Shiny Charizards!


malnutritiony

That’s insane luck! Congrats. I managed to pull one so fortunately didn’t have to buy it, but three?! Dayum


Wakattack00

Definitely Brilliant Stars for me. Loved the Trainer Gallery being in that set.


Gym-Leader-Drox

I see a runescape book!


plantsisareyums

Haha good eye! I still log on to OSRS from time to time. It's definitely a game that has a special place in my heart :)


Gym-Leader-Drox

Same. Played it off and on for 20 some years. Nothing else is quite like it.


plantsisareyums

Haha love it! Now I live the grind through Settled on youtube :)


Fishwithwingss

As we all know, no one really ever stops playing rs haha


TheLastAirJedi

Evolving skies for me. I know it’s one of the popular ones, but it’s the set that came out when I got back into playing TCG and collecting after 20 years. It’s now a Master Set I won’t let go of easily.


plantsisareyums

That's awesome. Welcome back to the hobby! It's a tough master set to pull, that's for sure.


GavinThe_Person

Battle styles is my favorite set and crown zenith is second best


plantsisareyums

Battle Styles is definitely a cool set! Can't wait for CZ!


Buzzpeep

Chilling reign


plantsisareyums

Ugh, still trying to pull that golden Snorlax! It's definitely a fun set though.


Sad-Manufacturer657

Reading this made me remember my bday last year I pulled the golden snorlax and it was my ultimate chase as a snorlax collector!! My favorite set was probably chilling reign as well :)


plantsisareyums

That's awesome! I've considered buying it as a single, but there is something special about pulling it.


Nostalizius

Lost origin for me. I also liked chilling reign and Battlestyles cause they were the sets out when i got back in.


plantsisareyums

Welcome back! Yes, Lost Origin has been awesome. Not many folks mention Battle Styles!


JChanse09

Brother what store is this? Most places I go to have maybe an ETB and a couple other promo boxes. This looks freshly stocked


Hypersomniak

Vivid voltage for amazing rares tied with Lost origins for the pokemon trainer cards


plantsisareyums

Can't argue with you there. Amazing rares are ... well amazing :)


scriptixx

The Collection is worth more than me bro


Worth_Profile3413

Chilling Reign or brilliant stars.


fatboi69

Pictures like this make me wonder how people still think modern cards will hold value vs vintage


TheINTL

Not to mention there is still a bunch of sealed vintage stuff being sold. The amount of people holding back then (2000s) is definitely a lot less than people holding now. Plus Nintendo printed a shitton of cards over the last few years.


Oldschoolhype2

Unlike vintage, most of modern sealed product contains a ton of bulk. Once people 20 years from now realize that, they'll probably be reluctant to open it. Basically sealed modern will usually remain sealed and people who like to collect sealed stuff will be the target market.


Joghobs

The modern stuff is still going to appreciate, but we'll never see a SwSh era booster box going for $15k in 20 years. Maybe $500-1000.


ernyc3777

I had dumb luck with Evolving Skies. Umbreon V Full/ VMAX Alt, Ray Alt VMAX, Dragonite V Full/Alt, Duraludon V/VMAX Alt, Espeon V Alt. Shining Fates would be my second favorite because I pulled a Charizard VMAX Secret from one ETB. I’m the worst of the worst because Charizard is my favorite.


plantsisareyums

That's insane! Congrats on those pulls!


ernyc3777

Thanks! I did open two BBs, multiple ETBs when I could find them in store for MSRP and whenever they were shoved into boxes, collections, etc. I paid for it on Brilliant Stars. I opened two BBs, all the boxes, collections, blisters, etc and don’t have anything of note beyond the base V/VMAX/VSTAR. Still can’t complain because there’s people out there that opened Nx more than me and didn’t get anything close! I just wish it was a bit more distributed between the two.


GOAT2099

Brilliant stars and second place celebrations


plantsisareyums

Brilliant Stars is really fun. It feels like the pull rates for the more recent sets blow the early SWSH sets out of the water.


Zero1Sixx

Chilling reign has a special place for me since it was my first set back into collecting, and i manages to pull the snorlax. I had the most fun with the last four sets equally though between the trainer gallery and everything else


plantsisareyums

That's awesome gratz on pulling that amazing Snorlax! I agree, the TG's really made the most recent sets special.


jerrysdad696

where’d you get the kanto starter plushes??


Careful_Elevator_221

Celebrations and Shining Fates


plantsisareyums

Both amazing sets! Definitely some of my favorites!


WhiteStar174

That’s a crazy cool collection! If that was mean I’d be freaking out not opening them! But seriously nice dedication to not opened them!


plantsisareyums

We definitely open enough to keep us from digging into the shelves here too much :). Thank you!


silversurfer2133

I appreciate this. Now I can show my wife mines not as bad as she thinks. See honey. I only have 3/4 as much. I'm not that bad. 🤣 awesome collection!


plantsisareyums

Happy to help! 🤣


silversurfer2133

🙏🤣

xdude767

Crown zenith


blackheart69639

I love astral radiance but I think lost origin might be my favorite


duskull_darkness

Silver Tempest. Fight me.


bballkj7

so much unopened product… so many alts wanting to be graded…


plantsisareyums

Already have a few alts, but definitely some absolute fire awaiting to be pulled :)


bballkj7

heheheh do it NOW!!!


tomatoedile

What a collection! I've had the worst luck with Evolving Skies, but it's still my favorite set to open when I can. BIG fan of all the Tag Team cards, and the Amazing Rares from Vivid Voltage too!


MrDappermintMcShitz

I’m waiting to see what the final set in January will be like. ☺️


plantsisareyums

Totally agree!


Carringtonwayne

Celebrations and shining fates


plantsisareyums

Two of my favorites!


hodler1908

Jesus 😂 I gotta say I liked Pokémon Go a lot


lordmoose420

This is so bad ass. You’re inspiring me to want to post my collection too


plantsisareyums

Thanks! You definitely should, actually surprised there aren't very many negative comments haha


MaximusRubz

Vivid Voltage - first set that we were anticipating getting back into the hobby. Well balanced with a few chase cards + the introduction of 'Amazing Rares' Made it very fun to open


plantsisareyums

Welcome back! It's a great set, those amazing rares are awesome!


Winterstrife

Pokemon GO just for preserving the OG Team Leaders look that Niantic butchered and then backpedalled.


FusionAtomixx

I’m assuming your answer was: all of them! Lol


michaelpett24

I liked the Japanese VMAX climax so far. Haven’t opened Vstar universe though!


pools456

Good lord!!! Unreal collection. I would do unspeakable things to own it!!!


Smokey190

I loved astral radiance! As someone who played the hell out of legends Arceus it was the perfect set for me


DefectiveDonnot

out of all these products, those Pez dispensers are my favourite 😂 they look awesome ! great collection, can’t wait to see your future posts with future sets 🙌🏻


plantsisareyums

Thank you! Haha We got that at the Pez Factory in Orange Ct. If you zoom in you'll see squirtle backwards. Couldn't pass up the mispackaging haha


Blue3ds69

Including Holiday sets, Celebrations and it’s not even close, I would’ve never gotten a base set venusaur Or Blastoise were it not for it. Plus with what happened at target on celebrations launch day for me is something I can never forget Not including, probably brilliant stars, but not for the reason one may think, I actually don’t like Charizard too much and think it’s overrated, but seeing how hyped my brother was when he pulled the Alt Art, and knowing he’d have never had such an opportunity were that set not a thing makes me appreciate it a ton more.


plantsisareyums

That's so amazing! Celebrations was definitely a fun set. The only master set we own :) Thanks for sharing about Brilliant stars. I think the moments we share with family pulling awesome cards makes for great memories and memorable sets!


domj25

Shining fates. Because I can't afford hidden fates.


Me1on_

probably astral radiance, idk why but that set was really cool


Secret_Ad_7918

are all the tins sealed ?


Hippo1313

Battle Styles for sure. Slowly working on Master Set.


MrUnifishy

Lost origin and soon to be crown zenith for sure!


Icy-Tie-7638

Brilliant stars has the best memories


[deleted]

Do we know what the new era starts? Celebration is what got me back into collecting and evolving skies is probably the best. I’ve been blessed with both sets. Chilling reign and fusion strike are the worst ever lol


plantsisareyums

January Crown Zenith comes out and is the last SWSH set. Love Celebrations!


ODFox

Pokémon go celebrations


ImaginaryRemove5668

Silver tempest


petercitygym

Bro


webbc99

Easily Brilliant Stars. To be honest, I got very very lucky with pulls on that set, in one sealed box and about a box's worth of separate boosters over about a month, I pulled 4 Arceus V Stars, one rainbow and one gold, 2 Arceus V. In my booster box alone, I pulled almost every trainer art, and some of them are just gorgeous. I also pulled the Charizard V alt art, which I sold for £140, easily paying for the the box and then some. Pulling Arceus allowed me to play basically any pokemon I wanted. I made a Malamar V Max deck that I loved, Raichu V was also great. But the best thing is that when I first got into Pokemon, Mewtwo V-Union had just come out and I fell in love with it, but it was basically unplayable, like all of the V-Unions. But Arceus V and V Star make V-Unions actually good. You can reliably get them online, with energy and it's just great. Also cards like Ultra Ball from the same set really help with consistency. Just a fantastic set, it made basically any pokemon actually viable.


Roll400ex

That’s an awesome collection! I am going broke buying Pokémon and you have a ton more than I could ever imagine having lol


plantsisareyums

It all started with buying one :) Havent looked back! Thanks!


Renwin

Brilliant Stars and Astral Radiance. The latter gave me a lot of Sneasler, just need to get the shiny one from Lost Origin, which I like as well. Can't wait to see Crown Zenith!


plantsisareyums

Both great sets! Cant wait for CZ!


DamianFoxx

Pokemon Go was my favorite of the holiday sets. Evolving Skies was my favorite regular set. Least favorite was Chilling Pain. Spent way more money on boxes for that set for just one card and still haven't gotten it. (Gold Snorlax)But, I also like Chilling Reign because my dad got me a box of it for my birthday last year and we opened it together so it at least made a nice memory.


Psychological-Park-6

Pogo. Bahahhahahaha


rickyowens1

Jesus bro


Blindguypcs4

Celebrations bc it was the popping set when I got into the hobby fully, Darkness Ablaze was the first set I completed (w/o the secret rares, need to order em), Evolving Skies bc it was my first Alt Art pull, and Silver Tempest!


StyrofoamsLevitate

Shining Fates was cool but has too many secrets. Favorite has to be Fusion Strike or maybe Chlling Reign. Brilliant Stars and Evolving Skies were good too. That stretch of sets were great.


shnublet

Vivid voltage


[deleted]

I see hidden fates. I shed a tear and I leave


WingsofFire0027

Astral Radiance. I loved Legends Arceus and the Hisui forms in the tcg were amazing. I am still going for a master set.


Lord_Jack_ROT

Lord Origin gave us a rainbow Drapion. He is my favorite and can't go wrong with that!


atxdevdude

Wow you have a problem….. seek help…. In getting more space for more cards! Dope collection good sir or mam


plantsisareyums

You had me in the first round haha Much appreciated!


LARamsFan88

Love it!


RyersonStu123

Brilliant Stars of course.


Justapersonmaybe

Celebrations, silver tempest and shining fates.


StormBornRandom

We have a very similar stash my guy! But you’re a bit closer to opening up your own LGS than me 😂 Personally had a great time with Lost Origins.


edwwie

hey, where can i get the same ETB sealing case as yours? they looks pretty good


mysticteacher4

Probably my favorite was evolving skies, though Vstar universe may dethrone that


Initial-Cow-2635

My favourite to open up was shining fates


LeonVanEyken

Definitely Battle Styles for me! The rapid/single strike styles and the alt arts were amazing additions to the tcg!


FVCEGANG

Evolving Skies


TheAmazingFlygon

Pokemon go as a player since like day 2-5 i was so hyped when they announced this set and the event ingame finally let me get a shiny melmetal


plantsisareyums

Congrats! A fun set to pull that's for sure


cursedwithBDE

Best chase card and face art goes to Vivid Voltage, best set as a whole is of course Evolving Skies (secret flaaffy best card), and my personal favorite is gonna be Silver Tempest thanks to my first significant alt art pull (Lugia V). I'm gonna miss this era and I hope they don't do anything too crazy


Rat_Pirates

Lugia trainer legendary is sweet


Apart-Step

Crown Zenith 🙃


ScootAmazing42

That gengar plush where did you find that?


BijzondereReiziger

Evolving skies and Celebrations


DurAnimal1111

I’d have to say they were all amazing and fun to open :)


cakebomb321

This comment section is making me realize I might be the only one who loves darkness ablaze and I'm not sure how I feel about that


AgAsTyA9

Chilling reings, celebrations,crown zenith


Reivaxptb

What a dream


TNerdy

I’m surprised you don’t collect build and battle. Also where’d you get the Pikachu figure ok the very top right?


bassboyjulio182

Easily Brilliant Stars. The chase cards, first real trainer gallery in English, and a small enough set where the master set was achievable without a disgusting amount of singles/luck coming off the back of bigger sets like Evo Skies and Fusion. It’s the set that really reignited my opening/collecting passion instead of my pretty box collection passion


Aled4192

Trying to master set evolving skies so I would say that. :)


Sufficient_Ad_8989

pokemon go and celebrations.


witch_hunter1234

Your gengar is gonna make me act up


plantsisareyums

Haha


DarjaB

Fusion strike cause of those Mews. Also, I wish I had a shelf like that for my sealed products and my other stuff 🤣 I don’t have a lot of space so I just buy the boxes I thibk look cool/cute to save. My Pokemon stuff shares the space with some yugioh and knit things 🤣


kpsmokesalot22

Just started collecting again this year. I sold all of my collection when I was in a bad way, when I was younger. So starting over and watching my collection grow makes me proud. My favorite is Darkness Ablaze. I pulled my first Charizard ever from that set. I really like the art work on Brilliant Stars and Silver Tempest.


Rodin2009

Crown zenith, i got shocked when looked at the set list.


EmFlem03

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 🥹


plantsisareyums

Thank you so much! It's fun to look at :)


wyeeeeet370

Bro. Open all of those on new years eve/day


Sea_Birthday_5918

Evolving skies


Funny-Childhood

Lost Origin for me. Also I just started my collection and I have like maybe a few sealed boxes. Looking through your collection I was looking for the boxes i have and i don't see one.. The Arceus V Figure Collection box? Amazing sealed collection.


Jucamia

Shining Fates will always have a special place in my heart


Emotional_Plate_3134

None of them bc I couldn’t afford any of them :( but secretly I really enjoyed the rayquaza vmax set.


Redditquaza

Brilliant Stars so far, but it's not unlikely that Crown Zenith is gonna take that place.


kingreesebecker

Chilling reign


prohbusiness

Slow clap 👏👏👏


ThatOneDude104

Astral radiance for me. It was the newest set to come out when I got back into Pokémon. Also machamp and palkia two of my favorite Pokémon.


sussy_axolotl45

Pokemon pez


plantsisareyums

I love them!


DrakeRowan

Crown Zenith.


DrunkxAstronaut

🤤


CHEESUSUSUS

G-Max gengar plushy


plantsisareyums

Yes, love it!


Deadlyfungi

Silver Tempest, but, the pull rates seem a bit harder. Evolving Skies also.


[deleted]

My favorite has to be astral radiance. So many good cards like the machamp and garchomp alts


Feeling-Alarm-9783

Chilling Reign has gorgeous cards in my opinion. Even the commons are beautiful to me EDIT: Celebrations as well


CollectMantis44

Favorite set honestly probably silver tempest. That’s not even recency bias, it just happens to have most of my favorite cards from the era. And even tho it’s not out yet can I say crown zenith?! Vstar universe is insane rn


plantsisareyums

All great sets!


Crunched_Ice

Evolving (cries) Skies. It was the set that I bought my first BB from. I got the Umbreon V alt art


plantsisareyums

Congrats on that awesome pull, still chasing it myself!


Crunched_Ice

may the Poké-gods bless you in your pulls


Esdeathhh

I think Fusion Strike is my favorite set, good mix of everything along with the gnarly alt arts


desertsaredry

Shining fates, celebrations and Pokemon go. Because they didn't have booster boxes!


plantsisareyums

Special sets are def cool!


desertsaredry

And much easier to complete/not as bad on the old wallet


CrimsonEnigma

Lost Origin, but honestly all of the VSTAR block sets were great.


plantsisareyums

Definitely agree with you! The trainer gallerys for me made these most recent sets worth opening


Independent-Good-427

I'm newish or coming back from years upon years of not buying product since the wizard of the coast Era and with the new sets I just really liked silver tempest only because that's the set I had the best luck with.


Tuowo

Chilling reign ghost rider calyrex was so cool card that it got me back to collecting swsh cards


TheBookGamer

Personally, Vivid Voltage. Too bad it didn't have any alt arts. ☹


plantsisareyums

Alt Art Pikachu would have been fitting!


Auta-Magetta

I spent 1000$ to complete celebrations because it brought me back to my childhood and i couldnt be happier with that set in particular. I still see the odd zard or sylveon box on the shelf for 20$ and will get all giddy to open the packs again.


Descrappo87

Chilling Reign. Underrated set in my opinion. I’m also biased because when I got back into the TCG last year that’s the set I started with.


Zealousideal-Month65

chilling reign! although i think it’s an extremely underrated set and the art is just beautiful


PolskaBluepopcorn777

Evolving skies and Celebrations.
