0:00What is going on all you Pokémon
0:02collecting maniacs out there? This is
0:04Ryan, the Pika Pika Papa, and today
0:07we're going to be doing what we have
0:09been doing every single month since
0:11September of 2023, and we're going to be
0:13doing a deep dive into the Sword and
0:16Shield era and how the amazing cards and
0:19products from that generation have been
0:21moving month over month. Now, if you are
0:23like me and you like buying fantastic
0:25Pokémon cards and products at an
0:27absolute amazing deal, then this video
0:30is going to be for you because we're
0:31going to be talking about what's been
0:32happening in this space really over the
0:34last couple months. And again, this
0:36feels like I've said this a couple times
0:38recently, but what we are seeing today,
0:40what we're going to talk about today,
0:41has never happened in the entire history
0:44of us monitoring Sword and Shield
0:45products month over month from September
0:472023 till now, we have never seen this
0:50happen before. So,
0:51we're going to be talking about some big
0:52opportunities. We're going to be talking
0:54about what's happening in this space and
0:56maybe just shining up that crystal ball
0:58just a tiny bit. You know me, I don't
0:59predict the future, but we can follow
1:01patterns and trends to give us some
1:03small idea of if things repeat the way
1:06that they have in the past, what might
1:07happen in the future. So, if you take a
1:09look at this first slide right here.
1:11Now, this is me trying to make things
1:12more engaging for you guys cuz we're
1:13super super data heavy. But, what you
1:16can see here is a blue graph and a
1:18orange graph there in the very middle,
1:20right? The blue line represents how the
1:22top 20 single cards from every single
1:24set in the Sword and Shield era that has
1:27a booster box and how it has performed
1:29from September 2023 till now. And as you
1:31can see, as a whole, those what? 12
1:34times 20 cards each, those 240 cards
1:36have given a 153 or 158.3% gain from
1:41September 2023 till now. Now, take a
1:43look at what the booster boxes have
1:45done. The booster boxes have in from
1:47terms of rate of return, absolutely
1:49crushed it, right? It is up 288
1:52.6% over the exact same timeframe. And
1:54so, what what do for booster boxes we
1:56said, "Hey, listen, if you were to buy
1:57one of all 12 booster boxes, how much
2:00would that cost?" And you can see how
2:01both of these have moved over time. But,
2:03what's been really exciting is if you
2:05look over on the far right-hand side,
2:07look at how both booster boxes and top
2:0920 single cards have been working their
2:11way down over the last several months.
2:13That is what I get excited about. Now,
2:15what's even more exciting to me is
2:18month-over-month. Now, again, I'm going
2:19to show you this in detail here in just
2:21a second, and I do two videos. Today,
2:22we're going to talk a lot about sealed
2:24in the market as a whole, but I've got a
2:25follow-up video where we talk about
2:27single cards. But, for me, from last
2:29month to this month, zero. Now,
2:31remember, we're going to talk about
2:32specialty sets, too. But, zero of these
2:3417 sets from the Sword & Shield era were
2:37positive month-over-month in terms of
2:39top 20 single cards growth.
2:41That we've seen before, but almost
2:43never. And when you think about that,
2:45what happens traditionally the month
2:46after that is you might get one, two,
2:48maybe even three or four sets that turn
2:50positive, but traditionally, in the
2:52past, when we've seen every single set
2:54red month-over-month, the month after
2:56that, we don't see the overall market
2:58turn green. So, I've got that in the
3:00back of my mind. And then, in terms of
3:02booster boxes, four of the eight turned
3:04positive, but guess what? The overall
3:06booster box market was still down in the
3:08Sword & Shield era month-over-month. As
3:10you can see, booster boxes were down
3:113.62%
3:13from last month to this month, and those
3:15top 20 singles aggregate is down 2.92%.
3:18Now, the biggest thing, this is the
3:19thing that I'm going to dig into is we
3:21have never seen booster boxes be
3:22negative 4 months in a row in the Sword
3:24& Shield space. When you think about
3:26buying high-quality Pokémon cards and
3:28products that are going to be durable
3:30over the course of time, you and I and
3:32everybody else out there knows
3:34sealed is as safe a product as you can
3:36buy. Nothing is safe, nothing is
3:37guaranteed a guarantee, right, in the
3:39Pokémon world. But, if you want downside
3:42protection and upside opportunity, we
3:44all know that sealed products in the
3:45Pokémon world are one of the best bets.
3:47And so, when you see four consecutive
3:50months of these 12 booster boxes being
3:52down month over month in a set that's as
3:55amazing as the sword and shield era is,
3:56like it just has you scratching your
3:58head a little bit because we all know
4:00the best time to get in on products is
4:02not when they're sky high, it's when
4:04they start to pull back a little bit.
4:05So, we're going to have a ton of fun
4:07talking about all of those booster
4:08boxes. I'm going to give you my personal
4:10favorites here at the very end. And
4:11before I get into the rest of the video,
4:13I got to give my selfish little plug
4:15because as you can see we've been doing
4:16this for a long time. We put a ton of
4:18work into bringing you the very best
4:19data that we can. So, if you get into
4:21this video, if you're having fun, if you
4:22take something away from it, hit that
4:24subscribe button or give us a thumbs up.
4:25Those two small things go a long way in
4:27helping my channel out and it's the best
4:29way to say thank you for everything that
4:30we do. Now, I don't just have these
4:32colorful graphs as most of you are well
4:34aware.
4:35I have a website that I built and on
4:36that website we have every single era
4:38where you can track every single set and
4:40how it's moved month over month. In
4:42terms of sword and shield, you can go
4:43all the way back to September of 2023.
4:46So, this is what that looks like in
4:48terms of the top 20 single cards and
4:50this is where I really want to call out
4:52what's been happening here in the
4:53market. And when I talk about using this
4:55information to help you be able to make
4:57plays and help you decide, "Listen, I'm
4:59never going to tell you when to buy or
5:00sell." But, the data can certainly point
5:02you in a direction and I have this
5:04yellow box right there in the very
5:05middle, right? Obviously, that is when
5:08the sword and shield single card space
5:10started to really heat up. But, then if
5:11you look on the left-hand side and if
5:13you look on the right-hand side, we have
5:14these periods of markets cooling down
5:16and that is the opportunity here. If you
5:18can identify when markets are starting
5:20to cool down, but most importantly when
5:22they start to turn a little bit
5:23positive. Take a look at January of
5:252026. That was the final month before
5:28the sword and shield market started to
5:29get hot again. In February, March,
5:31April, May, June, all the way through
5:34till July of 2026. What do you see in
5:36January of 2026? You see 1 2 3 4 5 sets
5:40that had started to turn green, right?
5:41In December you saw five sets that were
5:43starting to turn green. But, then in
5:45November you only saw two sets. So, when
5:47I talk about where we're at today, what
5:49it's going to take for the market to
5:50start turning positive, I don't think
5:52next month we're going to have four,
5:53five, or six sets just magically turn
5:55green in the Sword and Shield space.
5:57Maybe we will, who knows, but all I can
5:59say is in the past, there's going to be
6:00a little bit of a build-up to it. And
6:02when you look to the right of that
6:04yellow box, look at how red everything
6:06was. August, we only had two sets that
6:08were positive. September, we only had
6:11one. And then here we are in October,
6:13all of them are red top to bottom. It's
6:15hard for me to imagine everything just
6:16fundamentally shifting month-over-month.
6:18Now, we will hit a period where things
6:20start to slow down. Like I said, we'll
6:21have a couple that will turn green. But
6:23for me, we'll probably have another
6:25month. So, I'm not necessarily jumping
6:26in quite yet, but I'm going to wait and
6:28see when we start to see a couple of
6:29these sets turning positive, then that
6:31will tell me, "Hey, listen, this might
6:32be a great time to jump in on some of
6:33these really cool cards."
6:35Now, from the booster box perspective, I
6:37have a lot of colors on this page, but
6:39this is the same thing. Now, I have the
6:41singles and I have this booster box
6:43filtered uh just to a 12-month view, but
6:45obviously on the website, you can go
6:46back all the way to January of 20 or
6:48excuse me, September 2023. It's really
6:50cool. You can just look at the colors
6:52and you can see these cyclical patterns,
6:53and that's what I love about this
6:55Pokémon space so much is we can use
6:57these patterns to our advantage. Now,
7:00the reason I have all of these beautiful
7:01colors on here is because there are some
7:04booster boxes which are starting to turn
7:06positive. And for me, that's a good
7:08thing. Usually, the booster boxes, when
7:09we're going through a period of
7:10regression, the booster boxes will kind
7:12of be the very first ones to make the
7:14turn, right? The sealed product. Again,
7:16less volatile than single cards. And so,
7:18when I look at the ones that are
7:19starting to turn positive, I see three
7:21big names, right? You see Fusion Strike,
7:23you see Lost Origin, you see Silver
7:25Tempest. And I'll give you a better
7:26visual representation that of here in
7:28just a second. But also, when you look
7:29at the sets that are negative, you see
7:31three big names that are negative as
7:33well. You got Brilliant Stars, you got
7:34Chilling Reign, you got Evolving Skies.
7:36Evolving Skies booster boxes have been
7:38negative three of the last four months.
7:40And if you look at Chilling Reign,
7:42Chilling Reign has been negative four
7:43consecutive months. And if you look at
7:45Brilliant Stars, those booster boxes
7:46have been down three consecutive months.
7:48So,
7:49when I talked earlier in this video
7:50about identifying value, identifying
7:52opportunities, like even if you just
7:54look at these color patterns here, you
7:56notice that you don't have those real
7:58defined green and red blocks like we did
8:00on the single cards. Sealed product just
8:02has a tendency to be much more durable
8:04in the long run. And so, when I see
8:05these things start to pull back,
8:07especially these big names, man, that's
8:09a great time to take advantage of it.
8:10So,
8:11here's what I wanted to highlight, too.
8:12When I talk about kind of the
8:14unprecedentedness
8:15of what we're going through, we have
8:17never, again, since we started
8:19monitoring this month-over-month
8:20information, we have never seen four
8:23consecutive months of booster box
8:25pullbacks. But, what we have seen in the
8:27past is we have seen at least three
8:29months. So, prior to this, we had three
8:31different downturn cycles in the Sword &
8:33Shield booster box era. If you look,
8:35October to December of 2023, three
8:38consecutive months were booster boxes
8:39pulled back. They were down 5.1%. Then
8:42you look July to September 2024, again,
8:44three months of red, and it was only
8:46down 3%. November to December of 2025,
8:50we had a big pullback, just two months,
8:52but man, those were two brutal months,
8:53and it was down 10.5%. And then if you
8:56look at what we're going through right
8:57now, from June to October of 2026, our
9:00first time ever with four consecutive
9:02months, and it is down almost a full
9:0410%. Remember, once you're down 10%, you
9:07are in full-on correction territory. So,
9:09we are almost there. And again, this is
9:11the second biggest pullback that we have
9:13seen in the Sword & Shield era from a
9:15booster box perspective since we've ever
9:17started monitoring that. That is a big
9:19deal. That is not something to ignore.
9:21And as I said earlier, we're seeing some
9:23of the bleeding come from the biggest
9:24sets out there. So, I wanted to give
9:26this individual subset of information
9:28its own slide because this is really,
9:30really important to grab a hold of. Now,
9:32the next thing that I want to talk
9:33about, too, is listen, it's not all bad.
9:35We talked about this a minute ago. There
9:37are some sets and some very big sets
9:40which are just starting to turn
9:41positive. But man, I mean, we are
9:42talking about slivers here. We aren't
9:45seeing 3, 4, 5% jumps in these booster
9:47boxes. We are talking about ones that
9:49are just barely starting to make the
9:50turn. However, the number of green
9:53booster boxes increased
9:55month-over-month. Remember what I talked
9:56about in the single card space? I said,
9:58"Hey, listen, like I don't normally see
10:00things go from all red one month to a
10:02majority green the next month. Normally,
10:04it's more of a slower rotation.
10:06Same thing happens in the booster box
10:08space and I feel like we're deeper into
10:10that rotation than we are in the single
10:11card space. Remember what I said
10:13earlier, normally booster boxes are the
10:14first ones to make the move. So, if you
10:16look in September, we had two of the 12
10:19booster boxes that were positive
10:21month-over-month. Now, look at October.
10:23We have four of the 12 booster boxes
10:25that are positive month-over-month. So,
10:26we're starting to see, you know, the
10:28breath is starting to improve a little
10:29bit. More than that, we're moving in the
10:31right direction, but the drawdown was
10:33actually bigger. Now, a big part of that
10:35is Evolving Skies. Evolving Skies
10:37booster boxes got absolutely waylaid. So
10:39much so that I have a slide dedicated to
10:41that here in just a couple, but what I
10:43want to talk about here is the four that
10:45are turning green are just barely making
10:47that turn. So, this isn't a huge turn. I
10:49mean, look at Vivid Voltage, obviously
10:51not the most popular set out there, but
10:52Vivid Voltage
10:54up 1.5% month-over-month. Silver Tempest
10:57up 0.8% month-over-month. Fusion Strike
10:59only up half a percent month-over-month.
11:01And Lost Origin, yes, it's green, but as
11:03far as I'm concerned, that's
11:04directionally flat, only up 0.1%
11:06month-over-month. And when you look to
11:08the right, look at the biggest losers. I
11:09mean, we had huge drops in some of the
11:11biggest names from the Sword & Shield
11:13era. Evolving Skies was down 9%,
11:15Chilling Reign down almost 7%, Brilliant
11:18Stars down 4.3, Darkness Ablaze, again,
11:21not an all-time set for any stretch of
11:23the imagination, right? But it's still
11:24down 4.1%. So, again, more are turning
11:27green, but I do think this is just the
11:29beginning. I think this This just the
11:30beginning of people starting to realize
11:32my goodness these booster boxes are
11:33super undervalued and if that mentality
11:36is going to start hitting it, I'm going
11:37to be looking really hard at evolving
11:39skies chilling rain and brilliant stars
11:40cuz I don't know how much further
11:41they're going to drop. Now the other
11:43thing that I want to talk about here is
11:44listen, we talked about the movers and
11:45shakers. Let's look at all of them,
11:47right? I showed you eight. I wanted to
11:48show you all 12 of them. A little bit of
11:50a redundant slide, but as you can see
11:52the breakdown here evolving skies at the
11:53very bottom. In the middle some of the
11:55ones that didn't get talked about. Sword
11:57and Shield again pretty much
11:58directionally flat. Rebel Clash was down
12:00.6% Astral Radiance down .8% Battle
12:04Styles is not that terrible of a set.
12:05You got Alt Arts in there. You got the
12:07sleepy T Tar.
12:09That box is down 3.7% but still the
12:12majority of these are red month over
12:14month. We saw a big overall loss and
12:16again just starting to see those things
12:18start to make the turn as far as I'm
12:19concerned. Now this is a really cool
12:21graphical representation. So this is
12:24Evolving Skies and this is how the
12:26Evolving Skies single cards and booster
12:28boxes moved from October 2025 to October
12:322026. Now I'm not telling you anything
12:34you don't know but Evolving Skies is the
12:35biggest and baddest set in the Sword and
12:37Shield era, right? The Moon Brionne is
12:39absolutely lights out. The Rayquaza that
12:41you have coming in there. The Alt Art on
12:43there. Like the trainer gallery that
12:44whole set is just absolutely insane top
12:48to bottom. Absolutely love it. You got
12:49the VMAXs. You got the V Alt Arts. You
12:51got the Evolutions, right? Just an
12:53incredible set in and of itself. But
12:55take a look at what the booster box has
12:56done over the last year. The booster box
12:58is actually down 14% while the single
13:01cards are up 12.7%. Look at how the
13:04orange line and the blue line cross. You
13:06we don't see that happen that often. And
13:08we specifically don't see it in some of
13:10these biggest sets. So for me this is a
13:12big call out. Like this is a big deal.
13:14You look at the singles over the last 3
13:16months. Yeah, they're down a little bit
13:18but the booster boxes are down almost
13:2018% from that June high. Now don't get
13:22me wrong. Evolving Skies booster boxes
13:25are still big and expensive but when you
13:27think about the opportunity to jump in
13:29on these during the middle of a market
13:31downturn, if you don't have any Evolving
13:33Skies or if it's something you just
13:34wanted to add more of, if you think, and
13:35I'm not saying it will be, but if you're
13:37one of those people who think that
13:38that's going to be destined to be like a
13:39$5,000 booster box far into the future,
13:42these are some of those opportunities
13:44that you would want to be looking at.
13:45Matter of fact, if you look at the way
13:47those chase card, the Moonbreon has
13:49performed versus the booster box, you
13:51see the exact same crossing pattern
13:53here. Now, the graph that you see right
13:55here, this goes all the way back to
13:57January of 2025, so we're plotting the
13:59booster box, we're plotting the
14:01uh the the excuse me, the chase card,
14:03the Moonbreon here as well. And as you
14:05can see, overall, both of them have
14:07delivered huge returns, right? From
14:09January 2025 all the way till now, uh
14:11the booster box is up 65% uh and the
14:14chase card is up 84%, so that's nothing
14:16to shake a fist at, but you can see that
14:18the sealed product for most of the time,
14:20the orange line on there, was actually
14:22beating the rate of return versus the
14:24chase card. Now, we've seen the
14:26opposite, the rate of return has
14:27actually gotten better for the Moonbreon
14:29versus the booster box itself. And as
14:31you can see on our support line
14:32dashboard, the booster box is actually
14:34being called out because it's 17.3%
14:37below its all-time high, which we talked
14:38about there just a minute ago. So, this
14:40is a product which is actually on my
14:42personal watch list. I don't know what
14:44I'm waiting for. I can't I Again, who
14:46knows? I don't have a crystal ball, but
14:47man, can you imagine if Evolving Skies
14:49booster boxes actually got to $2,000
14:51again or maybe even dropped just a
14:53little bit below? Look at where that
14:55orange line is. I mean, we're actually
14:56the buying it below significantly higher
14:59all-time prices. So, Evolving Skies is
15:01an I don't know, it's a very interesting
15:03thing. It's hard for me to talk about a
15:04$2,000 booster box, but still, if it
15:06drops down to that $2,000 threshold,
15:08man, it would be worth a very, very hard
15:10look.
15:11Next product, you know how much I love
15:13Brilliant Stars. And when you take a
15:15look, this is very different, right? You
15:17take a look at what the orange line has
15:18done versus what the purple line has
15:20done. Uh the obviously the Charizard V
15:22Alt Art hasn't quite performed as well
15:24as the booster box, but this is a
15:26catch-up. You so if you watch this
15:27channel over the last several years, you
15:29know, I've been a huge fan of Brilliant
15:31Stars booster boxes. The lineup for the
15:32set is incredible. The Charizard, even
15:34though it doesn't have a crazy price
15:36point to it, it is still anchored by an
15:38Alt Art Charizard card. And we've
15:39watched the booster box gain a lot of
15:41ground. Matter of fact, I included that
15:43snippet up there so you can see where
15:44these booster boxes and the chase cards
15:46have performed over the last three, six,
15:48and nine months. But this booster box
15:49right now, it's down 11 and 1/2% versus
15:52where it was before. You know, this is a
15:54set that I think is going to age
15:56phenomenally well. Now, 560 bucks,
15:58again, this is a ton of money for a
16:00booster box. But again, you just don't
16:02see these pullbacks very often. Over the
16:04last six months, this thing is down 10%.
16:07It's down 11 and 1/2% versus its
16:09all-time high. Like this is a booster
16:11box, which I think does have a lot of
16:13room to grow in the future. Sun and Moon
16:15was a very different era, very different
16:17print quality, quantities, and very few
16:19people were sealed collecting back then
16:21like they are today. So you have to take
16:23it with a grain of salt, but I continue
16:24to look at the Sun and Moon era
16:27and figure out how many booster boxes in
16:29that era are over the $1,000 threshold
16:31at this point. There's a ton of them,
16:32right? And I don't think Sword and
16:33Shield is going to do a one-for-one, but
16:35I certainly think this, one of the top
16:37cards in the sword or sets in the Sword
16:38and Shield era, certainly has that type
16:40of upside to it. So as I watch it pull
16:42down, again, you see the nine-month
16:44trend on the booster box is negative.
16:45You can see that the chase card has been
16:47doing relatively well over the last nine
16:48months. So this is a set that I truly
16:50have my eye on. And as you can see that
16:51green little watch list thing is
16:53clicked. This is another one which is on
16:54my personal watch list.
16:56Finally, Chilling Reign. You know,
16:58Chilling Reign was the number three set
17:00in the entire Sword and Shield era for a
17:02very, very long time if you just went by
17:04booster box pricing. Brilliant Stars was
17:07number four. We always knew that, you
17:09know, listen, Evolving Skies was going
17:10to be number one, Fusion Strike was
17:11going to be number two, Lost Origin was
17:13going to be number three. As I said,
17:14Chilling Reign was number four for a
17:16long time. Brilliant Stars was number
17:17five. You know, we really felt that
17:19Brilliant Stars was eventually going to
17:21overtake Chilling Reign, which it ended
17:23up doing. That's a great lesson for
17:24today's market as well. Listen, even
17:26though a current set might be
17:28undervalued, aka Surging Sparks, you
17:31have to look at the card lineup. Like
17:32the card lineup in the long run is going
17:35to matter the most, right? It just is
17:37very, very important to keep your eyes
17:39on that. Warren Buffett has this awesome
17:41saying about investing. He said the
17:43stock market in the short world in the
17:45short run is a voting machine. People
17:47are voting up and people are voting
17:48down. In the long run, it's a weighing
17:50machine. Like the weight and the value
17:51of something is what's going to matter
17:53over the long run. Same thing for the
17:54Pokémon market. We see it happen time
17:56and time again. In the short run, it's a
17:58voting machine. People FOMO in, they
18:00panic out, prices go all over the place.
18:03If you have a long-term time horizon,
18:05buy quality sets with big-name Pokémon
18:07that are super deep, and I promise you
18:09the value will unlock itself given
18:11enough time. The Chilling Reign and the
18:13Brilliant Stars flip is a great example
18:15of that, and I encourage you to use that
18:17same type of methodology when you're
18:19looking at Scarlet and Violet and the
18:20mega series sets as well. So,
18:22when you look at Chilling Reign, it was
18:24pulled back a little bit, and
18:25unfortunately the kicking chicken, even
18:26though the Blaziken alt art is a really
18:28awesome card, you know, it just hasn't
18:30quite had a lot of pizzazz over the
18:32last, you know, from January 2025 till
18:34now, you'll see it's only up about 15%.
18:36Uh but the booster box hasn't seen the
18:38type of growth we've seen in some of the
18:39other products. So, it's only up 37.3%.
18:43Uh it's about 20% off of its all-time
18:45high, and this is another one where
18:47sometimes the price matters. Like this
18:49is silly. I never say buy something just
18:51because it's cheap, but again, we went
18:52through the lineup. This is going to be
18:54the number five set in the Sword and
18:55Shield era. We're deep enough into it.
18:57Like we've already seen the rotation
18:58between this and Brilliant Stars. I
19:00don't think anything's going to overtake
19:01Chilling Reign. It's coming in at 450
19:04bucks, which is still a lot of money,
19:05but if you have a long-term time
19:07horizon, I think the set is going to do
19:08really well. As I said, the chase card
19:10la- lacks that huge chase card at the
19:12very top. Although I'm telling you right
19:14now, it's still at $382, but it doesn't
19:17have the name brand recognition of a
19:18Charizard or a Pikachu or a Rayquaza or,
19:20you know, a Moonbreon or anything like
19:22that, but the set as a whole is super
19:24deep, lots of awesome artwork, and I
19:26think because it's 20% off its all-time
19:28high right now, it's one that we
19:29certainly shouldn't ignore.
19:31The final set I'm going to talk about is
19:33Lost Origin. Huge fan of Lost Origin,
19:35have been for a very long time as well,
19:37and I wanted to include this. So, when
19:39you look at the sealed products on the
19:40website, I include these little blocks,
19:42and you can just see at a quick view how
19:43things have done, 3 months, 6 months,
19:45and 9 months. And I was taking a look at
19:47how the trainer boxes have performed.
19:49So, you have the Pokémon Center
19:50exclusive ETB, and you have the regular
19:53ETB. And if you look, they've kind of
19:54moved in lockstep. Pokémon Center
19:56exclusive ETB has outperformed, but
19:58still, if you look over the last 3
20:00months, one is down 15%, one is down 3%.
20:02If you look over 6 months, one is up 5%,
20:05one is up 24%. Then if you look at the
20:069-month trend, the regular is up 31%,
20:09and the PC ETB is up almost 50%. But
20:11then if you look at the booster boxes,
20:13the booster box is down 2.5%. Okay, that
20:16kind of tracks with the other ones, but
20:17take a look at the long-term growth.
20:19Like, the booster box over 6 months is
20:21only up 1.7%. The booster box over 9
20:24months is only up 4%, and you compare
20:27that to where the Pokémon Center
20:28exclusive ETB is up 50% over 9 months,
20:31the regular ETB is up 32% over 9 months.
20:34You know, the booster box in terms of
20:36rate of growth over the last 9 months
20:38has lagged both the regular ETB and the
20:40Pokémon Center exclusive ETB. This is a
20:43set where the lineup is so great, I
20:45don't think you can go wrong with it.
20:46Now, I've been talking about it a lot,
20:47probably last 3 or 4 months this set has
20:49been featured on this video. Because it
20:51is still down over the last 3 months,
20:53because the growth has been so muted
20:54over the last 9, I still think booster
20:56boxes are a phenomenal play. So,
20:58I thought this was an awesome takeaway.
21:00I thought this was a cool way to look at
21:01it. I hope the graphics really helped
21:03everybody kind of get a better
21:04understanding uh what's happening.
21:06Obviously, I still think the streaks tab
21:08on the website is one of the very best
21:10tools out there. I use it almost daily.
21:12I look at it all the time whenever I'm
21:13trying to figure out what plays I'm
21:14going to make or content that I can
21:15bring for you. So, if you're interested
21:17in that, check it out. No matter what,
21:19listen, I can't thank you enough for
21:20watching. If you made it to the end and
21:21you got something out of this, hit the

21:24But, most important to me is I hope you
21:26have an epic rest of your day. All
21:27right, everybody. I'll talk to you soon.
21:28See you. Bye.
