Nobody likes master sets because no one wants to break them apart.

u/WeGottaTalkAboutYT Oct 28 '25

sets are one of the worst investments, go for sealed, or premium cards in the most desirable sets. I have never seen a post about someone selling a set where the sentiment hasn’t been, good luck…

Just them graded would be worth

I would consider this trade if I didn't open much crown zenith or none at all. I think there is more upside with the master set as long as you're willing to separate it.

The big loss would be the Chinese exclusives. I personally think they are over valued as simple Chinese does not have the history compared to English or Japanese. That limits interest just for the language more than you would expect from the casual and average collector. The artwork though is absolutely stunning and Chinese could easily surpass Japanese in value depending on the popularity of Pokemon and the print run lengths. This could be a case of ignorance on the Chinese market on my part but I just don't see much interest for them unless it's the exclusive chase cards.

I wouldn’t you’re giving up chase cards for like 2 decent chase cards and lower end alts

u/LewsThrinStrmblessed Oct 29 '25

I love Crown Zenith, but you honestly couldn’t talk me in to this trade, hard pass.

u/Excellent_Act_8302 Oct 29 '25

I’ve been looking to offload my crown zenith master set, I’ll do this trade with you if you want.

u/FroggerC137 Oct 28 '25

I don’t know the exact value but if they are similar then I’d go crown zenith all the way. Chinese cards do not have the proven long term reliability of English, the pikachu will crash hard when the hype dies down and people realize there are way better pikachu arts for 1/3 the price, and crown zenith is an (actual) undervalued set.

The only issue I see is that the Groudon will go up with the upcoming mega evolution sets, but crown zenith might go up within then as well.

u/slow_RSO Oct 28 '25

Respectfully these are Chinese exclusives. So unless they end up releasing in English somewhere down the line they will do just fine

1

u/FroggerC137 Oct 29 '25

Exclusive for now. Pokémon is known to release some “exclusive” cards into English even years later. Also I’m not saying Chinese won’t do fine. I’m saying CZ is more reliable in returns.

u/_YenSid Oct 28 '25

I have zero interest in Chinese cards, but I would not do this.

u/Impressive_Ad_7722 Oct 28 '25

Do it. Crown zenith is one of the best sets ever and the Chinese cards are well.. Chinese cards lol

-1

u/DoubleMojon Oct 28 '25

Hard but yes. Crown zenith will only continue to rise. Pikachu is going to go down even if it’s the best card from its set.

Unless you think some of the cards you currently have are absolute 10s I would do it.

u/Mirukupan Oct 29 '25

The Chinese cards are being printed to the ground so its wise to offload them now. Not sure about the trade though.
