The only people that think the price is gonna drop are the people that want it and don’t have it
So true. Going back up again.
Moonbreon just hit 720+ usd on tcgplayer 😔
I saw. Absolute madness!
Right now it’s at 1k
I just impulse bought one on eBay, cgc graded gem mint 10.. I haven't received it yet but god I hope I didn't get scammed and that this investment pays off...
CGC 10's are nice, that would be a super clean copy! It's definitely a long-term hold.
@@phillips.collectibles you think it'd be reworth to crack and regrade to psa? I kinda like the cgc case better than psa even though psa is worth more
Nice video! Just got my Moonbreon PSA10 for 790usd, hope the prices are not gonna drop too much..
Just got a PSA 10 as well for $600 :)
You got it for a good price! We'll see, hopefully for your sake they don't.
you cant really just look at the price of the umbreon at a psa 10 and compare it to other psa 10s like that without also looking at the base price of the raw cards. yes the umbreon 10 is selling for 830 which is more than the lugia which is selling for 272, but a raw umbreon sells for more than half that 800 number whilst a raw lugia sells for less than half of its number. so percentage wise the lugia is doing better.
bigger $ numbers dont always mean better. for example lets say that over the last year $400 evo skies booster boxes went up by $100 whilst $100 fusion strike boxes went up by 50$. whilst on the surface this makes it seem like evo skies did better than fusion strike over the last year when you take into account the percentage of growth you can see that this is not the case. if evo skies is 400$ box and grew by 100$ than it grew by 25 percent. if fusion strike is a 100$ box and grew by 50$ than it grew by 50 percent. this means that if you bought 4 100$ fusion strike boxes rather than a single 400$ evo skies box your total proffits would be twice as much with the fusion strike boxes as it would with the evo skies box. this is why comparing percentages is more important than comparing the $ amount.
I just want to say this is one of the best comments I’ve received on the channel. You made an excellent point that I probably should consider in future videos.
Really appreciate these kinds of comments. You’re definitely right about that.
Plus you have to consider why there’s that many 10 umbreons? It’s not because the print quality on ES was better or the pull rates were better or even that there are simply just more of them out there it’s as simple as there are just more of them getting sent in to be graded than the other alts. There are a couple reasons for that 1 its umbreon which is def in top 3 as far as what character is collected the most 2 it’s the most valuable card in the sword shield era so collectors are going to be more likely to send it in vs other alts that aren’t as valuable 3 it’s the most hyped and wanted card out there. Everyone talks about it and everyone wants one (at the right price). Plus you have to factor in that it’s much easier to sell a graded copy of this vs selling it raw and that’s because it’s an expensive card and there are a lot of fakes going around and if someone is going to buy this they will want that peace of mind knowing that they’re getting an authentic copy because it’s already graded especially if they plan on dropping 650$+ on a card (they’re going to want a guarantee at that point) vs spending 50-200$ (about what most of the other alts are selling for minus the rayquaza, Gengar and giratina v) on a card. There’s not going to be as much worrying over spending the 50-200 as there would be in spending 650+
Well most people I see online have 2 moonbreons at least, ive seen vendors with up to five and I personally know people who only collect moonbreons they can snipe off ebay in good condition. Do you understand what that means
The demand for Lugia and Blaziken is nowhere close to that of Umbreon. The artwork on the Moonbreon sealed it.
It will never be a $3,000 card or anything like that due to the pop report, but in five years it will be well over $1,000 because it is just too iconic not to be and demand for it will outstrip any concerns about the pop report.
Yeah 100%! The artwork really is a stand out.
It's an ugly card.
Of all evolving skies card, people chose this one to put that expensive price on.
The rayquaza looks much better. Even the regular Umbreon v looks cooler than Moonbreon
@@nightowl7261 dont think its an ugly card but do agree the ray ray and base umbreon are better art work. funily enough the ray ray was actually the most expensive card in the set up till about 7 months after its release. evo skies saw its biggest crash ever in january 2022 and for the first and only time both cards were sub 200. after that the dynamic between the two shifted as the moonbreon started growing at a pace that ray ray could not keep up with, it surpassed the ray ray quickly and went to 300 by the time ray ray was just reaching 200 again. from their it went to 400 and was on its way to 5 before their was a reprint and it dropped down to 300 for the final time which is where i picked mine up.
@youcanthandlemyname7393
What's the reason for Moombreon to be so expensive?
Is it playable?
Artwork?
Because artwork wise, rayray and umbreon V takes that spot.
So I just don't get why Moonbreon is so expensive.
@@nightowl7261 a few reasons actually, the first is the insanly bad pull rates in evo skies, alt art v's are 1 out of every 82 packs whilst alt art vmaxes are one out of every 300 packs, theirs 6 alt art vmaxes so that means you have a 1 in 300 chance to have of having a 1 in 6 chance at getting a specific alt art vmax, or in otherwords the moonbreon and other specific alt art vmaxes are about 1 out of every 1,600 packs.
to put that into perspective gold stars are considered some of the hardest cards to pull in pokemons history and they were 1 out of every 72 packs, sets also had less gold stars in them so the pull rate for specific gold stars was far better.
and to put it further into perspective in each case of booster boxes theirs 6 booster boxes with 36 packs in each booster box. this means an entire case of booster boxes only has 216 packs. so that makes specfic alt art vmaxes 1 out of every 42 booster boxes or 1 out of every 7 cases. this means that if you want a specific alt art vmax out of evo skies you either need to get super lucky or rely on the secondary market which drives up the prices of all the aa vmax singles but especially the ones that have the most demand like ray ray and moonbreon.
so that explains why evo skies alt art vmaxes in general are so valuable despite the set being printed like it was, now onto why the moonbreon is so much more valuable than the others. theirs a few reasons for this
the first is that all eveelutions are super popular.
the second is that umbreon is the most popular eveelution and is close to if not surpasses rayquaza in terms of popularity. popularity of the pokemon = more demand for the card.
the third is that the artwork is really nice and whilst its not as good as the ray rays in my opinion it is good enough to drive alot of demand.
and the fourth is that the evelutions operate as a collection in and of themselves meaning people will specifically try to collect all the evelution alt arts. this last one is important because it means that if you have all of them but the moonbreon you are going to be willing to pay more than you normally would in order to get the moonbreon just so you can complete your set. i know that was the case for me lol as i would not have been willing to spend 300 on the moonbreon if i did not already have all the other eveelution alt arts.
i always say that a set that is nowhere near complete bothers collectors less than a set that is just missing one card. and i think this mindset is what drives people to pay more than they normally would for the moonbreon and is a major reason why it is dooing so well.
What website do you use to track the price records?
Hi, PriceCharting & TCGplayer!
It went up instead lol
Correct!
I am so happy I pulled this card from a random pack that was in my closet in a box for about 3 months. Greatest day in my collection history.
That’s like…insane haha. Unbelievable
To the moon an beyond baby keep for the long haul good investment for sure
That's the plan!
I hope it drops so I can buy a PSA 10 xD
I feel ya. It is most certainly the most iconic card from Sword & Shield Era.
In moonbreon we trust❤
Truly is a masterpiece.
This didn’t age well
You’re not wrong!
This card s going to the moon!!5k plus
