what is up Pokemon lovers hope you guys are all doing well and in a very timely monthly fashion I will be going over some products that I'm looking to buy in the month of September some of these products I already have and I just want to add to my collection or my investing position and some of them I will be hunting in my upcoming Japan trip so with that all being said let's get into today's picks so I thought I'd get the most obvious pickup of the Scarlet and violet era and that's going to be the Pokemon 151 Japanese booster box right now I was looking at the prices is oh man has this thing climbed I was personally buying them when they got the original restock at that $55 Mark and now they're going right back up to the $859 mark now I'm not here to induce fomo to us collectors and investors but this one's up to you this is a 50/50 coin TOS if you believe in the set long term cuz this one is definitely going to be a investment or collection that's going to rise up in price faster than anything else on this list but still at the $85 Mark it's still worth picking up to rip Andor investing in my personal opinion I love the set it's not the greatest set in The Scarlet and violet era so don't come after me in the comment section but it is an easy pickup at the $85 mark for any collect all right now that the obvious layup is out of the way we're going to go into a pick that is going to be a little bit more controversial and what I'm looking to pick up and I have tons of these for my seal and this is going to be the mask of change booster box I love mask of change I told you guys before it is my favorite set to open that's not obviously one of the big bigger sets just one in the main series I Lov masket change I love the commons I loved the MK I love the top cards that you could potentially pull I think it's a great set and it is dirt cheap at the $ 35 to like $45 Mark depends on where you are looking if you are lucky enough to have Tik Tok then you can get this sub $40 beautiful set easy pickup and I think if you are a investor and you want to scoop up some product that that could perform well in 5 to 7 years long-term holds very long-term holds because they are so cheap I think just look into Japanese now investing in Japanese is very speculative but I don't think that we'll see these super low prices for very much longer but if you disagree I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below my next pick is going to be one of my personal favorite box Arts as far as the booster box and that's going to be obsidian flames you could even pick this one in Japanese ruler of the black flame also another great set ruler of the black flame in Japanese is a $4 to $45 booster box just like I said with mask of change nobody wants it no one thinks it's even worth opening because of those top cards being so cheap which I totally understand but sometimes you just want to rip open some Pokemon cards for for a good price and uh try to attempt to pull anything in those booster boxes I am personally loving these really cheap prices in Japanese and even in English I think this is a fun set to open because the hit rates are great it's right before they started to Nuke the hit rates in English obviously in Japanese they are the same four rulers of the black flame where you get three ARS I think three EXs and one special art rare but I think this is an easy pickup I I I need a few of these for my collection I have none at the moment I have a few of ruler of the black flames in Japanese for my seal not really for my investment just for display back there I like to buy at least two of each Pokémon booster box because they're so cheap I always like to open at least two for the channel maybe one to open in the future with my future kids who knows but I know a lot of you guys are going to Flame me for this even being on the list but I personally enjoy this set you can go Charizard hunting if you want I know a lot of those cars are not expensive but if you want to throw $100 at some fun with you and your kids or your family I think this is a great pickup for the price now this next box I am looking to to trade locally I've had my eye on this booster box I have two back there but I just want to add one more to my collection I have a few back there for my sealed the boxes aren't necessarily in the greatest condition so I'm trying to find one in a little bit better shape I probably going to hit a card show when they come here in noral so going to keep my eyes on this specific booster box and I think you guys should too that is the fusion strike booster box I personally love it because of the box art and the reason why I put this pickup for today's video is just because I want a box that's in pristine shapes so I can put it in one of those nice acrylic cases to store it forever I'm going to move the other two or three that I have just because the Box the the wrapper is a little bit loose and it really bothers me I believe I bought two at least from the Pokemon Center and you guys know if you guys if you guys have bought Pokemon Center booster boxes they do not care how they are packaged but I know this booster box is already at the $200 Mark I know it's kind of already you know Row in value pretty sharply but if you're a collector like myself I just want a nice pristine one for my collection and for my next pick is going to be another modern pick and that's going to be Stellar Miracle soon to be Stellar Crown very soon in English I'm going to be skipping out on this in English I I'm going to open the upcs just for the channel like a product review but after that I'm pretty much all out it's a good set has the cool terrestrialization do that well but hey it can't be as bad as shrouded Fable in English and now I'm thinking of it I should have put night Wonder on today's list for an instant pickup but maybe for next month this booster box is on fire sale I don't think anybody wants to collect this thing or open this but why it's on today's list is that I am scooping this up just because it is on a fire sale maybe it'll do well over time this is where I'm going to start my Pokemon sealed Japanese booster boxes maybe pick up two three of these puppies and hope and prey that in you know 2 to 3 years I twox my money that would be great but we'll see I know it's it's just a it's one of those plays where it's the first of its type as far as these sets go it's the first rainbow talized set and hopefully that holds weight long term but I can completely be wrong because we saw what happened with just Rainbow Cards in general but I am going to take a risk take a shot here and hopefully it pays off now my next couple cards are going to be cards that I'm going to be looking for when I go to Japan and I check these online all the time on eBay Facebook Marketplace Etc but this one right here is a very specific card and that is the Umbreon the Vmax the moon Breon that we all know and love and would love to add to our collection this one's in simplified Chinese it's a near mint and it's going for that $350 Mark I am going to be searching for this card in Japan at the if I could scoop this card in Japan in any language I've seen some people say that they have other languages in Japan so if I could scoop up this card for the sub $400 I will I just want to see it in person inspect it in person before I pay you know that type of money but if you collectors out there just like the art I can't recommend a simplified Chinese enough I'm going to leave my last video talking about those cards like right around here I think it's a great watch and I do my best and try to persuade you guys into maybe looking into other languages but this puppy right here such a beauty I'm probably going to do it I might even buy it before but this next card is another card that I'm going to be looking at in all sorts of languages and that is the Umbreon v a big Umbreon list for today's video Umbreon V this is the this is probably my favorite this is probably my favorite Umbreon card in the sword and shield era it battles with that Karen's Umbreon the big big V-Max form or gigantamax form where she's like on from brilliant Stars where she's sitting on umbreon's Paw I believe this one is beyond amazing I love this Umbreon I'm probably going to scoop this up and simplify Chinese for 50 bucks can't beat it it's funny because this card was cheap for so so long in English and then all of a sudden it started to rise once those alard started to rise so I'm very curious to see if we're going to come back down to reality and even in English if we're going to see this card take a a little bit of a fall to become a little bit more affordable I'm going to wait out on this card maybe I can find a better deal in Japan maybe with a lightly played or moderately played version of it I that doesn't bother me these are just binder cards for me to add to my collection so wish your boy luck over there in Japan and if not I'm going to scoop it up in samplified Chinese and if you're enjoying this content I greatly appreciate if you guys leave a like comment and subscribe it goes a long way I'm trying to reach 2K and i' greatly appreciate if you guys could help me out so with that being said let's get into our final pick for today's video so for my final pickup that I've been picking up in the month of September is more alternate Arts like this right here I got the two Rayquaza you can see right here let's try to zoom have these bam and then bam right here really beautiful Rayquaza I'm personally trying to play alt art catchup and not rip as much product as I was Prior even prior months definitely less than last year there's so many opportunity to buy singles in other languages like the alt arts and I'm going to try to really focus and dive deep into that I'm also trying to report on the prices for you guys so that you guys can get all of these arts for the best prices I think right now is the best time to be a Pokemon Card Collector to just because of how cheap and how many options we all have I think Pokemon right now is definitely in a downturn as far as popularity but we all know that if you're a true Pokemon collector you're still here you're here after the pandemic and you're going to be here for the next 10 years and if you enjoy videos like this I'm going to leave another one right around here until next time I'll catch you guys later peace out
