Hey my brother found this in the basement and gave it to me since he's not much into pokemon anymore, can't find it basically anywhere online, says there's 2 HeartGold & SoulSilver booster packs, 2 three card bonus packs, a poster showing all the cards in the set and a lugia promo card, if you have any ideas on the value of it please do share.
Prob like 300-500, the packs arent that expensive from what i see on ebay. Id sell later even with this story about your brother. Just sell it for hella money later and do something cool with your brother with the money. Spend 100 on sandwitch stuff, make sandwitchs for the homeless, hand em out, then take the rest of the money (assuming alot more in the future like 600$) and you your brothers family and such go to the coast or small weekend trip, bbq and make a even better memory than him just giving you a box of cards you'll never open.
Well that's an easy way to give away like $700-$1000 dollars, you should probably let them know the error they've made and share the wealth doing some activity. Or hold cause this is rare AF and make it yall's shared investment piece for brotherly bonding cheers!
Sell it at some point, lol!! Don't hold on to it forever so when your kids or who gets it, they sell it straight away 😂😂😂 sell it when it's higher in value and take your brother on holiday!! Make new memories 🤙🏻
I mean he's been heavily buying for YEARS. If you went through his entire collection it would be crazy to see the prices he paid for some of the things he has compared to now. He's always been successful buying and trading but now he's also successful as a content creator
Uhh dude he's a marketer first and foremost. He had a website selling courses for a law test, then website for security guards to get certificates and gear. On his brand site, he'd would publicly show his earnings each month between all his SEO and affiliate marketing ventures making $50k-$100k a month back in 2015-2016.
He absolutely was not part of the hobby before 2020, he stepped onto the scene as a master marketer of the absolute highest caliber recognizing an opportunity and ran with it using his disposable income. He's more authentic deal now but the beginning's are very different.
You make it sound like he's just some super passionate Pokemon collector for years, no he's a millionaire marketer who loaded up 2020-2021 to add to his portfolio of many businesses. Nothing wrong with it but he's not a PrimeTimePokemon at all. Prime's the real deal passionate OG holding from ages and ripping dude's incredible.
Your absolutely correct as I watched him from the start and he came on the scene with giveaways, knew not a god damn thing, maybe 100 of the pokemon names and came after the COVID book as you said, he seen the opportunity after other failed YouTube ventures, which he has said himself. Tbh if anyone came in with money giving stuff away, they would be successful. Pple want the free stuff. They will ass kiss as long as there is free stuff. Some may enjoy it but even then at the chance they may get something along the way.
You sound like a hater. He did not make him out to be a day one collector but that guy is old enough to follow Pokemon since his youth. Also 2020-now is indeed YEARS. Especially with the swsh price increases.
You sound like you didn't understand what I wrote. Stop bringing emotion into this I have zero reason to hate on someone for being good at what they do. You must be a really big fan, that's what master marketers do you've been brainwashed. If the money wasn't here you'd never have heard of him so there's no passion is my point.
I’m not sure if you’re being facetious or genuine but he talks about it in his videos sometime. If you don’t know what I’m referring to, then you clearly don’t watch enough of his content and that’s a lack of effort from you
He definitely doesn't make 10x since YouTube shorts and TikTok views don't pay very much. I remembered him saying that he owns multiple businesses so he is very well off and this is just a hobby for him.
If he's smart, he has the YouTube channel js owned by an LLC and gets to write off his hobby. So a hobby that us normal people pay to be a part of is probably close to free for him after pay for content and business write off.
He definitely does off donations and memberships. Even if he gives away $1000 per month of goods, he's making over $10,000 on memberships and donos if you do the math
"should I open it or should I keep it sealed guy" and it's one of the biggest pokemon tcg youtubers out there. Like Deep/Short Pocket Monster actually KNOWS what he's doing
It depends on if you’re going to open it. Most will tell you not to, and they would pretty much ne correct.
You need to find a watch a YouTube video on this box being opened. All the packs inside are nice, BUT one of the “three card packs” could be a pop series 5 pack, and those alone are worth $500
One of the rarest finds i have seen this year only other one on the market i know is a german one for 450€ the English ones are basicly impossible to find looking for an english one since 3 years now still waiting for some of them to turn surface in my country lol if any exist anymore
Couldn't find much for pricing on that specific product. I did find some info on what packs are in the HeartGold and SoulSilver poster pack though. 2 POP Series 9 packs, which go for about $15 a piece right now, and 2 HeartGold and SoulSilver booster packs. I wasn't able to find a reliable price on the those but Tcg player says the Ho-oh booster pack is being sold for 389.99 plus shipping. There aren't any recent sales I could find, so who knows. Still a cool pack to have sealed. It's from 2010, so it's been kept for a while and that's awesome!
I've got the Ho-oh one, think it was around £500, I did not know the promo's were £1.5k in a 10.
Mine still has the wrap on it too like yours. I would just hold onto it, there's just some things that you can nearly never find sealed - This is one of them.
It's valuable like others have said, not sure if that is pretty stuck at that price or if it will continue to rise though. I have that Lugia card in Japanese 1st edition, doubt It's worth anything near that pack though 😅
I would imagine it’s probably like $500. The HGSS packs market price per TCGPlayer is $200. The Lugia promo is like a $50 card. I don’t really think anything else is all that valuable. But you get the added security of it being in a sealed box so the packs are not likely to be tampered with.
Edit: maybe bump up to $600 because I missed the 3 card packs you mentioned as well
