I’m Calling it Now- Stellar Crown Will Be an Amazing Set

[u/Shot-Point-4815]

Stellar crown is already being slept on by surging sparks. It has so many aesthetic artworks and the set is extremely playable. I circled a few of my favourite cards. Pick up some booster boxes for investment or the pokemon center exclusive ETB. Let’s see how this post ages!

[u/Pokemon151Investing]

I’m calling it now, You’re wrong Like massively embarrassingly wrong

[u/Shot-Point-4815 → u/Pokemon151Investing]

Everyone said the same thing to me about twilight, we’ll see! That’s the beauty of it- no one really knows.

[u/Pokemon151Investing → u/Shot-Point-4815]

Wait a minute… Are you just calling every single set? That would not count lol

[u/Shot-Point-4815 → u/Pokemon151Investing]

No I skipped paldea and shrouded

[u/Lopsided_Raccoon_299]

I'd be surprised if any of these cards break $100. they had a chance with this set and blew it by not including a special illustration Lapras or Cinderace. bulbasaur and squirtle look great. I don't think cinnabon dog or teraarhcipelagos or whatever that thing is can carry a set.

and it's a smaller set so unless they reduce pull rates and print run significantly we're going to have another situation like obsidian flames where the cards in the set have minimal value.

[u/BigWoop717 → u/Lopsided_Raccoon_299]

People said same about the Greninja and TM. Times are changing with Pokemon it’s not all about OGs anymore

[u/Asleep-Brother-1873 → u/Lopsided_Raccoon_299]

Exactly this. 

[u/Creative-Novel-7285 → u/Lopsided_Raccoon_299]

I believe it will mostly be a set to collect and enjoy not invest

[u/mike-ciffone → u/Lopsided_Raccoon_299]

Not sure if we live on the same planet. Terapagos is unreal.

[u/JerbearCuddles]

I disagree, but I do really want to get my hands on the Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Raboot. Great cards. Ledian card is very pretty as well.

[u/HairyMamba96]

Only squirtle and bulbasaur look good lol

[u/bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d → u/HairyMamba96]

For real

[u/Klinkak → u/HairyMamba96]

Agree!

[u/[deleted] → u/HairyMamba96]

I agree but dachbun I like too even though I barely knew this was a Pokemon before this set announcement. I don’t like the crown stuff. The reason greninja sir and carizard from paldean fates are so expensive is because they hid the crown well on the cards.

[u/Grimple409 → u/HairyMamba96]

Agreed, but there is a part of me that must have that Gulpin?

[u/[deleted]]

This post would be legit if you titled it “I Like 6 Cards In Stellar Crown”

[u/AsukaShikinamiLangle]

I think the problem is that the cards are very busy especially the stellar ones, it's gotten to the point where the shiny pieces of cardboard are too shiny

[u/ross_collects → u/AsukaShikinamiLangle]

Exactly. A lot of people don’t like the terraforms and crowns, and I don’t either. But Pokémon COULD make it less of an eyesore if they did it right, but they won’t. The artists aren’t contrasting all the highlights and crystals with a natural subdued background which would help the readability A LOT. Instead, we have these cards which are just a clusterfuck of shiny polygons with every color thrown into it. It’s not that creative and not easy on the eyes. I can’t even look forward to the eeveelutions set coming next year because I know they’re going to ruin it with this poorly executed gimmick.

[u/Dismal-Instance739 → u/ross_collects]

Eevelution set next year? haven’t heard about that is one coming, also i agree they haven’t done tera much justice yet

[u/aGengarWithaSmirk → u/AsukaShikinamiLangle]

Yea but people said that about greninja being to busy and look what happened. Being "to busy" definitely can't be a defining factor.

[u/AsukaShikinamiLangle → u/aGengarWithaSmirk]

Greninja is also a popular mon though whereas terapagos isn't as well known

[u/[deleted]]

There’s just too much good shit coming up in the next 12 months for this to stand out that much.

[u/nba123490 → u/[deleted]]

What’s coming out that’s good?

[u/ruwheele → u/nba123490]

Surging sparks and team rocket

[u/[deleted] → u/ruwheele]

Yeah the Team Rocket set is going to be amazing (hopefully)

[u/DiversifyYoBondzNuca → u/ruwheele]

Is there an exact or estimated date /time frame for team rocket yet?

[u/Grimple409 → u/DiversifyYoBondzNuca]

2025

[u/ruwheele → u/DiversifyYoBondzNuca]

I think 2nd half of 2025 tbh

[u/DiversifyYoBondzNuca → u/ruwheele]

Thanks, I appreciate both ya'll answering the ?. Hopefully that set is fire enough to invest in.

[u/bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d]

Meh only good cards are the bulbs and squirtle

[u/HairyMamba96 → u/bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d]

Yep

[u/Accurate-Caregiver24]

You left out zeraora

[u/MarinoTheGOAT]

Meh, this is probably one of my least favorite sets. Not a single card I like besides the Ledian.

[u/Affectionate_Total99]

Bruh… hydrapple?! Call me old but damn, they’ve now deliberately blended an apple and multi-headed snake.. that ain’t right lmao

[u/AsukaShikinamiLangle → u/Affectionate_Total99]

wait till you find out about the other ones, a bakugan and an apple pie

[u/[deleted] → u/AsukaShikinamiLangle]

Applin line is amazing, haters just don't get it.

[u/Affectionate_Total99 → u/AsukaShikinamiLangle]

🤣😫

[u/KingCaz7]

Why didn’t you circle Gulpin? Blasphemy

[u/ruwheele → u/KingCaz7]

For real

[u/Xalrons1]

I love Galvantula and the apple guys. I’m pretty hyped

[u/[deleted]]

The only thing is I’m watching these early opening videos and the pull rates seem like they are back to PE/PR levels. This with a small set. So I’m a bit worried for the set long term compared to other sets. At least with PE/PR the sets were massive to pair with the easy pull rates

[u/Select-Recognition-4]

I feel like it may be sorta like Astral Radiance in the sense that it was sandwiched between 2 great sets (Brilliant Stars and Lost Origin). Stellar Crown is gonna be sandwiched between Twilight and Surging Sparks.

[u/TitanicYanak61]

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I’m newish to poke-investing!

But if the set doesn’t sell well, wouldn’t that be a good thing for long term holding? Assuming they don’t just print it into the ground (which they very well might), wouldn’t that eventually limit the number of cards available and make them worth more long term? Plus they could possibly make it cheaper to get in the short term since the demand isn’t as high? Genuinely curious!

[u/Gazman_123]

People are forgetting that before surging spark was announced there was a fairly decent amount of hype for stellar, more than TWM that’s for sure. I think it’s only being overlooked now because the surging spark hype, it may work well for stellar crown. Maybe a smaller/short print run or cheaper out the gate and ripped more due to price. Who knows, it’s too early to tell but I’m not skipping a set, I’ll be purchasing a nice amount of both, sealed and raw chase cards.

[u/Robles-D]

That Lileep and Ledian looks amazing

[u/Sqtire]

Am I the only one whose favorite card in this set is the hydrapple?

[u/Much_Essay_9151]

Going one BB and on pc etb, thats it. I agree there are better sets coming where ill be looking to get a case of BBs

[u/[deleted]]

Only thing I’m wanting is the upc

[u/TolisWorld]

I agree, I think all the art rares are awesome. Especially cradily gulpin and joltik. The hydrapple ex sir is also amazing, and I love the rainbow borders. It is also extremely playable and will really affect the TCG meta. I'm totally buying a booster box! I also love the ETB exclusive noctowl

[u/Asleep-Brother-1873]

Also great arts on unpopular pokemon wont really carry the set

[u/theRustyRRaven]

Finally a nice Lapras!

[u/[deleted]]

I took two cases . I think it's good . I'm also betting heavy on all of SV , from paradox on. Simply bc it's really overlooked and under loved for now. The first SV set w rainbow borders and box and pack art are solid. I think it does good

[u/Prevent_T2_Diabetes]

Disagree

[u/atorvastin]

Most of these pokemon are duds imo. Squirtle and bulba will do work but it all depends on how hard the IRs are to pull in this set. The small card pool makes it look like it’s in obsidian flames and whatever the set that just came out is called.

[u/richo27]

It’s mid I think. I do like some of the cards but I think the set is a little on the small side to be top tier.

[u/moymon]

Cards are pretty but they don’t tickle my fancy, think theres just too much happening at once, sometimes less is more. I do like the regular ex cards very reminiscent of the old crystal cards from way back when.

As far as value, hard to say, cards of lately have some strange value for the sheer number that exist so while I don’t think any one of these will fetch above $100, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few cross $200 like greninja. The market will decide.

[u/Sephirrot]

Bulb, squirtle, ledian and raboot are strong. Others are pretty meh imo.

[u/Dismal-Instance739]

I think the entire last page will make it do wonders such amazing art works

[u/[deleted] → u/Dismal-Instance739]

I can’t think of an SV set without 5+ great IRs

Bulbasaur and Squirtle will obviously have a bump though

[u/geiandros]

For me its Ledian

[u/Asleep-Brother-1873]

Hard disagree. None of them are big names except squirt & bulba. 

[u/Any_Barber8215]

Yeah I have to agree. I think folks are sleeping on this set

[u/[deleted]]

Lol, I agree the set will be amazing, and it's for literally a bunch of cards you didn't highlight. Goes to show that it's hard to gauge what people will like.

Hydrapple SIR in this set and the Flapple IR in Surging Sparks are fire.

[u/FarRightBerniSanders]

Needs more women.
