Is CGA reputable!!

I just discovered your channel today and just binged like 4 videos in a row lol. Keep up the great work!

over time, the cards will increase in value. This is a correction due to a bubble crash, but over time, it will increase. Question is how much and is it worth the wait.

Thanks for your clip. I just started collection cards and this is my first set im doing. Is it worth it in the long run? What is your thought about it now after those couple of months

I enjoy the information you share with the community. It is very informative and digestible. Keep up the great work and happy hunting!

I appreciate the nostalgia that vintage gives me, but I think the modern cards just look better. We're literally comparing holos to alternate arts and illustration rares and secrect illustration rares.

45k reviews is really nice

This price correction wasn’t limited to pokemon vintage. People drove up prices for mtg, sports cards, comics, and everything in between in 2020 for both vintage and newer items. They all saw meteoric drops in prices once speculators pulled back. For vintage the key cards will be the most stable and liquid in the long run.

Im excited since I play the tcg im excited for pecharunt and fenzidipiti

My favourite card under $20 is 151’s Giovanni's Charisma 204/165 alt art, petting his Persian and holding a pokeball. Love the design and this set in general. Honestly the best thing this year has been bonding more with my daughter through Pokemon, she’s become totally obsessed with it and it’s brought back all the nostalgila from my earlier days and got me back into collecting. Thanks for all you do with your channel and content mate!

The backbone of my collection and investing/grading efforts go to vintage. Sales are strong, and restock opportunities are indeed there, you just have to find them. It’s truly a buyer’s market with vintage right now, and things seem to be rather positive all around!

I have a PSA 10 electrode 1st edition 😢

Thanks for the tips. I am new to all these, and I live in a not so rich country. For me it is a very big investment to buy the booster box. But 1-2 etb a month are easier to explain to myself :p

I want to know who paid 239 usd for a psa 8 non holo 1st edition electrode 😂

This is from your fans in Maine, I love Charizard but I haven't pulled one ever I've been looking in 151 sets, I enjoy your content and appreciate everything I've learned from this channel thanks and keep doing what your doing 👍👍

Theres an old song it goes, you gotttttaa know when to hold ‘em know when to sell em and know when to run

That Lugia was shocking. I actually talked about it with my partner.

Hi can I ask where you get the pricing historical trend data? I'd love to take a look at some more cards. Thanks!

Your videos truly speak to me. As a person that tends to have FOMO while also not having a huge budget for the hobby, I am really trying to learn ways to maximize my profits while also not spending more money that I really should. Love seeing your new videos when they pop up!

I’m a victim to all these points and it was scary how accurate you were with the example of the Diderot Effect cause I had just purchased a Paldea Evolve booster box to chase that Magikarp WHILE checking out with a pay in 4 plan 😩

Cap

Thank you for explaining it man. I'm new to this hobby and I always wonder why some of the vintage cards got cheap now. Now I know

You can find some clean 7s for a fraction of the cost. Worst case you crack and resell it as nm/LP.

The important take away is that pokemon cards are well above where they were pre covid and don't appear to be going down. Tournament attendance is at an all time and the original collectors all have kids now. I anticipate the market to stay hot for at least another 5-7 years but truthfully with a new generation and older collectors coming back into the market it may stay high for a very long time.

Same thing is happening with mtg, either way I'm happy vintage prices being back to normal somewhat

It’s definitely had the dust settle and land at their more realistic post boom prices for a lot of vintage, particularly PSA/BGS 9 and 10s. They also definitely seem like safe collecting (not investing) options at the moment as there isn’t the volitility of the modern alt art market. There also won’t be any low pop chase cards like the vintage era as even alt arts are in the thousands at psa 10s. There could be movement at 30 year anniversary slightly but it is just good to enjoy the vintage cards and at least enjoy modern alts bringing the thrill of the hobby to new collectors and modern day.

Its fascinating to try and think about the psychology of buyers and sellers now. Its funny how even when we are one, we can't quite predict whats going to happen to the market. I do think most buyers now are millenials and millenial parents, and while demand has increased, people are more focused on investments because most people are struggling financially. With that in mind, these prices do seem a bit aspirational. I think certain product will continue to increase in price, but the influx point could very well be, im sorry to say, but when the boomers die and millenials get their inheritance. Most are not buying a home of their own accord in todays world. So its really hard to say. Its special right now because 151 is like 'new vintage' and has appeal to both old and new collectors, those cards especially just seem like the perfect storm to own longer term. But hey, new financial collapses in the interim could change everything

Your channel is going banana's 5,5k subs already?? Nice keep it going the uploads are great. Fastest growing poketubechannel for sure.

A very important piece of content, I recognise two of the behaviours you listed in my recent purchases and will take steps to curtail them. Thank you!

By far that Gengar is my favorite alt art. Hopefully one day I can own one.

Soooo many words. Vid could’ve 1/10th the length and conveyed a more concise message

Just buy sealed and then by the singles that you like

Sounds like the perfect time to buy vintage to me ✌️

It’s so interesting thinking about what the future holds for the hobby. I appreciate how you bring up data and facts without speculating. It’s refreshing to get information like that and not have opinions put on the viewer so thank you for that 👍 even if you state your own opinions I’d love to see if the first edition Zard becomes the micky mantle of 2050. Selling for over a million dollars in PSA 10 etc etc. it’ll be super interesting to see, but also the experience of opening sealed product continues to be the crux of the hobby. These boxes of sword and shield/scarlet and violet could definitely be what people focus on in that time frame because they want to relive their childhood of opening them nowadays. It’s just fun thinking about it Keep up the great content! Loving every video!

Yeah collectors now also care about the investment value of the card. Nobody wants to buy a card that depreciates in value. People who thinks Pokemon cards are children's playthings should wake up!!

and we are probably reaching a point of another crowded trade where people just buy PSA10 pristine everything and forget about raws and vintage again

Your channel has been excellent guidance and thanks for putting out calm and collected videos! I'm part of the 90's kid group buying vintage for myself now at early 30s. Didn't catch the craze during covid, but the classic story of 151 pulled me back in. I was never into grading and/or buying slabs, always felt unnecessary and scam-ish by companies just creating an artificial product/demand to sell and market. I also prefer the raw card in a binder, in-hand, or in a toploader storage. Thankfully didn't get caught up during the covid craze as I would definitely be upset if my then purchases' value plummeted so hard to today's numbers. That being said, my vintage buys I mostly just pay attention to condition - I tend to buy minimum LP, and NM when the price difference isn't massive percentage-wise. As I see it, the boat has sailed in treating vintage as investments, and their price won't be jumping massively any time soon. I also got a bit involved in the investing side of collecting - booster boxes, PC ETBs, etc. which also led to purchasing some 9 and 10 slabs of modern SWSH for speculation which have definitely paid off. Though it was interesting, the first slabs I bought my first thoughts was along the lines of, dang, the slabs are kinda nice. Modern does feel way nicer in comparison, but I need tho vintages for collecting.. I've been buying 1-2 copies of vintage to collect and possibly sell the second, 2-4 copies of modern for collecting, and re-selling.

Vintage is finite. I believe vintage will always be up there, even if Pokemon going loooow like in DnP era and most mint / top condition vintage price decrease to modern level (affordable) many will eat the vintage supply and it will create rebound in price again.

Paldean Fates SIR ex charizard is my current favorite!

I agree with you on fomo on alt art cards but alt arts are also way harder to pull than vintage holos and they look way better so I do think that in 20 years alt arts will be extremely sought after

Vintage 😴😛

Honestly i dont see PSA 7 as a "junk slab" 5 yea but 7 is still a pretty well conditioned card.

I more recently got back into collecting pokemon cards and I definitely have fomo over sets like evolving skies and missing out on some of those legendary cards. But this video gives me hope that I may be able to collect those cards for a fair price eventually

Such a great time to be a collector these days. Stay away from the 300-1000$ alt arts , focus on good condition old school cards 🙌 great deals everywhere 😂

I kinda regret not selling some of my older cards during the hype era

Vintage are low pop and very nostalgic! Even takes you back in time if you're a new comer who never grew up with pokemon because vintage is old, the oldest, the first and most original and very different to modern! I honestly dont get why vintage doesn't seem that cared for i really cant!! For me it's an opportunity to get japanese vintage cards in psa 10 that i love and missed out on for a great price!! Like can you imagine opening that stuff up cost a bomb and you can get a psa 10 copy for 150 dollars like what!

Bro, no disrespect and all but why overcomplicating?? I'm starting to think that creators like yourself, is one of the big reasons as to why pokemon cards are so expensive because of constant over exaggerating and over analysing and yapping, leading to many people fomo'ing.

The future is secret illustration rare cards.

I don’t want any vintage…

Full arts completely made vintags obsolete. That may sound harsh but if vintags artworks were released today. Most people wouldn't even care about them.
