    We're already one third of the way through Scarlet and Violet era of Pokemon, and Special Illustration Rare Cards are here to say. Dare I say, the SIR cards are the new Alt Art cards? But are they as good? We'll take a look at every single special illustration rare card that has come out so far. There are some really cheap ones and some really expensive ones. Lots of them are actually holding their values well! Then, we will make some comparisons to Pokemon's Sword and Shield Era and rip open some packs of Paradox Rift!

  • @louloudallasmultipass

    It’s crazy seeing some SIRs so cheap in certain sets, especially cards that were being so hyped up at the time. But as a collector I’m not complaining. I’m still waiting to see how the 151 SIRs do before I buy any. I haven’t gotten any of the SIR starters but if prices drop I’ll be adding them to my collection

  • @flamingcouch-mp6de

  • @mikeleonard8521

    Interesting research! thanks for sharing! I'm starting to drag my feet on completing sets as the on-going costs seem to go down for 6-9 months post release. I WILL finish paradox rift, but probably next summer ;-)

    • @ThePokeOffice
      @ThePokeOffice  Před 7 měsíci

      Yea that seems wise financially, even though it loses some of the “chase” element of completing a set to me.

  • @gavinmiller3529
    @gavinmiller3529 Před 7 měsíci +2

    I love most of the art works and I think your spot on as per it all comes down to the pull rate, chilling reign and evolving skies have lots of cards worth collecting but pretty tough pull rates. I think that’s the way they should go moving forward! Keeps the individual card value and if it’s hard to complete the set I think again the sets will hold value! Awesome work Colin as per!

    • @ThePokeOffice
      @ThePokeOffice  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks mate! I definitely prefer a bit tougher pull rates.

  • @ReddActual
    @ReddActual Před 7 měsíci +1

    151 prices are still going strong, even reverse holos are a couple bucks, like the elusive reverse holo metapod and scyther. Supply is dwindling as people are rushing to complete the master set before Christmas, but I'm having fun completing the set with local trades and online purchases.

  • @RaphiRou
    @RaphiRou Před 7 měsíci +1

    I love IRs and SIRs just because of the artworks. It's crazy how you can get some for so very cheap. I am thinking about picking up the cheap ones, not for an increase in value, but for a binder.
    Probably won't happen, but imagine if at some point they released an (S)IR for every Pokémon and you have them all! What a cool collection it would be.

    • @ThePokeOffice
      @ThePokeOffice  Před 7 měsíci

      that would be totally epic. I would love everything about that! and what a binder it would be

    Hi pokeoffice, love your videos!! would like to hear your thoughts on the sun & moon era. Is it a good time to pick up some tag team alt arts?

    • @ThePokeOffice
      @ThePokeOffice  Před 7 měsíci

      I personally think that if you don’t have the tag team cards, you’ve already missed the boat on that.
      But to be honest, I wasn’t interested in Pokemon during Sun and moon era, so I’m not the most knowledgeable about it

  • @UltimateDarknezz999

  • @paradoxx80
    @paradoxx80 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Impressive how the original 151s staying power compares to obsidian. 6 vs 7 SIR, but a huge win in average value

  • @DaGrizzlyMan
    @DaGrizzlyMan Před 7 měsíci +1

    I agree with you, I didn’t think Paradox Rift would be as good as it is. Also, I’m very excited for the Palafin card! I love that shiny!

  • @pingpongkid-vd5ou
    @pingpongkid-vd5ou Před 7 měsíci +2

    151 brought some incredible art. I really like Paldea Evolved and I feel like Paradox Rift is also really good. The harder hit rates might make the prices stay a little higher too.

  • @jasonyeow1650
    @jasonyeow1650 Před 7 měsíci +3

    Its always great when a crash happens, it gives the collector a chance to start collecting some cards and also introduce more new collectors into the hobby

  • @DJTengen
    @DJTengen Před 7 měsíci +3

    151 prices holding strong isn't too surprising; very popular as expected. Just hoping we get a restock soon to get more chances of pulling these cards haha

    • @2736492821
