Is 151 pull rate bad?

Pull rates for the Pokémon 151 set are considered average to slightly tough, with a high number of Secret Rares making individual chase cards harder to pull (around 1 in 225 packs for a specific one), but overall hit rates comparable to other modern sets like Obsidian Flames, with some packs potentially containing rare "God Packs," making it a mixed bag of nostalgia and modern mechanics.

Does 151 have high pull rates?

Pokémon 151's pull rates are generally considered decent to good, especially for pulling any Special Illustration Rare (SIR) (around 1 in 32 packs), but getting specific chase cards (like the Charizard SIR) is tough (around 1 in 225) due to many potential high-value pulls in the set. Compared to some other Scarlet & Violet sets like Obsidian Flames, 151 has a higher number of Secret Rares, which slightly lowers odds for specific ones but keeps overall hit rates consistent.

Is 151 an investment?

151 is an obvious ETB investment. Despite it's high price tag, I still believe these ETBs will be above $500 by the end of the year. If you wish to invest in other 151 products like booster bundles, that is fine. That said, I believe for most people building positions in Pokemon, a 151 ETB will be a great addition.

Are Pokemon cards losing value?

Yes, many Pokémon cards are losing value, especially modern, heavily printed sets, as the initial hype bubble from 2020-2024 cools, leading to significant price drops in singles and some sealed products, although highly graded vintage cards and specific rare modern cards still retain strong value, showing a market correction and shift from pure speculation to more traditional collectible fundamentals. The market is seeing a "softening" or "correction," with massive drops in some hyper-rare modern cards, but high-grade vintage and sought-after modern cards (like certain SIRs or UPC promos) remain strong, indicating a healthier, less speculative market is emerging from the oversaturation.
