Q & A
What is the main concern about reprinting the Pokémon 151 set?

Why does the speaker believe a reprint of Pokémon 151 is necessary?
-The speaker believes a reprint is necessary because the demand for the set is high, and it would ensure that more people, including collectors and kids, can access it at a reasonable price.
How do investors and collectors differ in their views on reprints?

Outlines
🔍 Pokémon 151 Reprint: Necessary or Harmful?
The speaker discusses the potential effects of a Pokémon 151 reprint on the set's value. Despite personal investment, the speaker believes a reprint is necessary due to high demand. They emphasize the challenge of balancing investor and collector interests, with reprints potentially affecting scarcity and collectibility. Overprinting may diminish the 'magic' of the set, while underprinting risks leaving collectors and children without access. The speaker supports the idea that trading card game companies should print to meet demand, but also acknowledges the importance of scarcity for collectible value.
📉 Pokémon 151 Market Trends: Buy Now or Wait?
The speaker warns that buying Pokémon 151 at its current market peak could lead to short-term losses if a reprint occurs. However, they stress that only those who sell during the reprint would lose money, as prices tend to recover over time. Referencing other sets like Lost Origin, which rebounded after reprints, the speaker advises patience, as long-term trends often show value increases after an initial post-reprint dip. The key takeaway is that Pokémon card investing requires timing, and holding onto cards through market fluctuations can be profitable.

Transcripts
so would a Pokémon 151 reprint ruin the
set entirely and this kind of video has
come about because you know I did make a
video talking about a Pokémon 151
reprint and personally I'm in the camp
that I think it needs one even though
I've personally invested in Pokemon 151
and I've always spoken about how great
of a set it is I still think a reprint
is necessary given the fact of how much
demand there is for the set and I think
just calling it quit right now and the
set is barely a year old is a little bit
premature I think one reprint would be
valid for a set of this much demand
though of course that is my opinion
though a big question that comes about
is will the reprint ruin the set there's
a lot of speculation and a lot of people
talk about reprints in general and it's
it can be seen as a bit of a dirty word
within the hobby because there is a
little bit there's there's always this
huge dichotomy between the collectors
and the investors of the side and the
investors like the one reprint and
that's how it is and that's how it goes
and then you know you got the collectors
and they kind of like to collect the
cards and they want to have a Affordable
Cards which they can get at a fair price
point and I am sitting in between the
middle one side I believe that everyone
should have access to product 100% I
believe product shouldn't be on release
I don't think you should be fighting
over product I think that that that
Pokemon and every single TCG company
needs to be printing towards demand I
think that is a right of passage I do
not think that anyone should be fighting
over sets on release though I am very
much also in the camp that once the set
has had its life let the set rise in
value or let there be some scarcity
associated with the set I mean it is
Collectibles that's the magical Allure
of them right now balancing this fine
Act is very difficult because if you
overprint a set you effectively make it
lose its magic it loses its magnetic
appeal it loses that kind of thing where
it's like oh is it going to run out you
know what I mean and whereas when you
underprint a set it kind of has this
little icky feeling around it because
it's like wait well kids really should
be have access to product kids should
miss out for Christmas period uh
collectors shouldn't miss out just
because there's so much demand scalpers
and stuff shouldn't be able to take
advantage of this you know it's it
becomes an unfair playing territory
though regarding Pokémon 151 and whether
or not a reprint would ruin the set I'm
about to go into that within this video
though I just want to say guys if this
is your first time tuning in please feel
free to subscribe and just welcome to
the channel I'd love to have you on
board I just kind of started this
channel earlier this year talking about
Pokémon collecting and investing it's
always been a massive passion of mine
but I kind of had this thing when I'm
like you know what I kind of want to you
know talk about this with the world and
you know I feel like it's been quite
successful so if it is your first time
please feel free to subscribe to the
channel I'd honestly love to have you on
board when we look at reprints and
whether or not they have some sort of
effect there's two ways to look at this
R now whether or not a reprint will ruin
the set what we need to really look at
is just take a little bit of a back
pedal on sets that have had reprints and
the sets have not been ruined whatsoever
evolving skies I believe had three waves
of reprints and that really hasn't had
that much effect on the ceiling of the
booster box value you can see evolving
Skies is sitting at incredibly High
values at the moment even with the
amount of reprints that it had same with
Fusion strike same with chilling rain a
lot of these sets had reprints and it
didn't have that much effect on the
ceiling so is there a correlation
between if a set doesn't get reprinted
or if a set gets reprinted and it goes
to its high I'm not too sure obviously
if there's one set and you know gets
printed once and it never gets reprinted
and there's this scarcity thing sure it
will climb in value but really if there
is demand to begin with it's hard to
wipe that away man like it's it's very
hard to just wipe it out now what's
interesting is and I want to just take
you through a little bit of a history
with lost origin right so lost origin
last year was getting quite in demand
you know the set released late 2022 and
by mid 2023 it was already looking like
stock was running dry and a lot of
people were literally begging for a
reprint though I can't go on TCG player
all the way that back but I'm right here
on TCG player and you can see lost
origin here after the reprint happened
it happened in I think it was June last
year even in September it was sitting at
130 135 129 129 and it was sitting like
that pretty much for most of the year
and then of course it started Rising
this year which was about nearly 7 to 8
months after the reprint it started
beginning to rise so you can see what
will usually happen whether or not
Pokémon 151 would be damaged because of
a reprint it's very unlikely cuz what
would happen and you can see it with
Japanese 151 now as well there would be
this thing where everyone goes oh it's
reprinted it's useless we don't need it
we don't need it oh my God suck is
available oh it's so abundant we don't
need it we don't need it it gets flooded
into the market people kind of be like
GH I don't want it I don't want to touch
it I can get it whenever I want and then
slowly slowly because people are not
acting on it people are not taking
decisive action it slowly begins Rising
now here's the thing if you buy at the
top so if you bought Pokémon 151 right
now okay you are actually buying it at
the top of its Market point right now
it's pretty much the highest point you
can buy it if there is a reprint
obviously it's going to go down though a
little bit of a rule with Pokémon
investing is you only lose if you sell
so Japanese 151 you can see it's rising
a little bit in value there was a
massive reprint in May this year it was
absolutely enormous pric has tumbled way
down now it is most certainly not back
at the prices that it was before the
reprint but you can see it's slowly
climbing now give this another 6 months
to another year and it is very likely
it's going to match its previous high
and this is what it's important to know
that if you do buy out of cycle like
buying 151 right now and there's a
reprint you would only really lose if
you sold during the reprint if you just
sat and held it's very likely that those
prices would one day rise again to those
levels just like you can see with lost
origin here this is now exceeding what
it was now I can't go back that far you
know before the reprint but I think
before the reprint it was already gone
to like 145 us 150 us and you can
currently see right now it's sitting at
2113 so it's exceeded its previous high
so would the1 reprint completely ruin
the set absolutely not though very
interesting things are happening with
Pokémon 151 that need to be accounted
for so you can see the ultra premium
collection I'm going to just pull this
in the one month graph you can see it
was sitting at August 5th at
$122 and now it's sitting at $143
just over a month later the UPC is in
demand this one is very deserving of a
reprint my opinion I think the ultra
premium collection is quite expensive to
begin with and seeing it already go to
143 us you know you you don't get that
many packs inside the UPC you get 16
packs so definitely it could use a
reprint to get these prices a little bit
down though will it ruin its complete
long-term value absolutely not Pokémon
151 in the original 151 Pokémon are just
way too desired you cannot just wipe
this out of existence you can probably
have another two reprints of this and it
still wouldn't curb the demand for this
set not just talking about now I'm
talking 3 years from now I'm talking
four years from now 5 years from now
it's not going to get printed
indefinitely right there is going to be
a point where Pokémon says no we need to
move on now seeing as there is going to
be an EV theme set you know whether it's
later this year or early next year
you're going to have the team rocket set
you've got surging Sparks you got Stella
Crown you got powder evolved and
Twilight masquerade also needing
reprints it does kind of make you think
Pokémon cannot just keep milking the1
cow they once they do a reprint if they
do they're probably going to back away
so I don't think it's going to have that
much of a damaging effect on the overall
market for the long term moving to the
next one you can see here the Elite
Trainer Box and you can just see I'm on
the 3mon timeline here but you can just
see in this last little month here the
etbs literally just going up it was on
$65 and now it's sitting at 73 an $8
increase in a month is quite substantial
right we pull this into the year graph
and you can see here it was sitting at
$57 in release this had a low of $46 and
it's now sitting at $73 if you bought
here you know during the Christmas
period last year for $46 I mean you've
made quite a decent amount of money from
46 to 73 you know even when including
Celler fees you've made quite a nice am
amount of profit right I mean it's
obviously not doubled yet but if if you
know without a reprint that's going to
go very very high depending on how many
people want the set don't forget the
Christmas period is coming up there's
still a lot of people really wanting the
set and don't forget one thing that a
lot of people forget is every day more
collectors enter the hobby every day a
new face is coming in and what do they
do they research sets they get
interested oh wow I love Twilight
masquerade oh what's the set before that
oh pal evolve that looks really cool hey
you know what what was before palder
evolved oh wow wow wow oh look I'm
looking at Japanese 151 whatever it is
whatever the timeline of wherever
they're looking they get interested in
some of the sets moving ahead you can
even see the singles are going through
an interesting period I'm on the
Venusaur year graph and you can see this
is currently sitting at $41 with the low
being $35 it's being really stable so
that looks that graph looks like it's
going up down up down that's actually a
very stable price you can see the lowest
in the market it was ever was 35 and the
highest point in the market was 47
there's some pretty good stability with
this Venusaur I do think a reprint would
push this Venusaur below its $35 low
given the fact that that's how usually
it works with reprints so if you've
never experienced the reprint before
what usually happens is yes seal tumbles
down but again the singles also tumble
down an enormous amount we saw that with
gutina V with losten we saw it with
Lugia V Whenever there is a reprint the
singles do get drawn down immensely and
we can also see what happened when
Japanese 151 got reprinted all the
master ball reverse holos also got drawn
down it calms the market down and
reprints are advantageous if you are
looking to collect your cards so if
you're a collector and you want to buy
some of your singles that you've missed
out on time it with reprints time it a
month after the reprint because you get
Sensational prices for the cards and
they don't stay forever same thing here
when we're on the Charizard I'm going to
pull that into the year graph and you
can also see that the Charizard's major
high was 1 1 34 and it's currently
sitting at 128 it's pretty much at its
new high a reprint would most certainly
pull this down and I think it would
reach a new low depending how big the
reprint is right you can also see the1
booster bundle these things are going
absolutely crazy and you can see I'm
pulling this in a year graph that is
looking like it is you can see now here
that's just climbing climbing climbing
sitting at 44 us though do I think even
if a reprint happened and it dropped
down would it affect its overall value
no I think overall in the very long term
a re print would have very little kind
of damage with its overall value of the
set very similar to evolving Skies no
one's really saying oh evolving Sky had
too many reprints and now the price has
gone staying low no when the set's in
demand it's in demand it's just as
simple as that and of course you can
also see the Zapdos from Pokémon 151
same thing its lowest point in the
market was $31 its highest ever point in
the market was $43 and it's currently
sitting at $40 again these 151 singles
are interesting with the stability that
they have it's really good to see this
Market stability though again reprints
would draw it down though I do not think
that you have to worry too much if a
reprint happens if you've invested in
this set because a lot of people that
have invested in this set already bought
it when it was below retail price the
people buying it now are the people
foming if that was you you got to just
get a little bit more skilled in this
game right now you are buying out a
cycle it happens though there is a lot
of ways on how to invest in Pokémon
properly and I explain that within this
video on screen right here within this
video I uncover the ways to invest in
time your markets properly timing is a
very big thing in Pokémon investing and
learning how to time your purchases
properly is pretty much one of the main
keys to being successful in this game if
you want to watch that video click that
video on the screen and I'll see you
