Use to work to buy cards. Now people buy cards in hopes they don’t have to work.

The dude was yesterday at McDonald scalpin poke happy meals😂😂😂 a total whale 🐳 I mean took pretty much everything.

Ive been buying pokemon for 5 years. I have never seen a booster box for 70 dollars... comeone my guy... do u even know what ur talking about

Alex is 👑

151 booster boxes?

one of the best pokemon channels to follow is nostalgia nomics

The secret is is to buy them at the release date at the lowest price possible you don’t need to go back and chase other sets at higher prices. If you do, the sets to buy would be evolving skies, lost origin, fusion strike from sword and shield. As for Scarlet and Violet by the cheapest ones out there right now. The best ones are Paldi evolved, surging sparks and twilight masquerade. For the least amount of risk also paradox rift is a great play. Good luck. I am a baseball card in football collector at heart. Just lost interest with too many rookie cards now trying to keep up with everything. I have over 50 Ricky HENDERSON, rookie Cards and PSA 8 or higher.

Here is the problem. Sealed has traditionally always gone up. Singles go up and down depending on popularity and current demand. I believe vintage is going to come back. We dont know when but it is coming back. However, there is always money to be made in sealed. Most people want safer and easier investments. Vintage is unstable and you see little to no gain on most of it lately. Which also indicates that now is the absolute best time to buy. But for most people sealed is just easier and safer. Its also much more liquid than singles at any given time.

Being a collector for over a decade. Its very hard to move graded packs especiallyif they arent psa 10s, theres only very small niche for them and 99% they are light packs which dont hold much value. If u want to buy vintage, stick with loose artsets whether its heavy or light. Me personally i look out for box breaks and get artsets unweighed 👌 that the only way ill buy vintage packs nowadays

I haven’t bought no packs from rip n ships but I might have to start buying because I can’t find nothing in stores lol

Buying and holding sealed pokemon product has gained steam over the last few years. But rip and ship businesses have caused an explosion.

That UA-camr is a scalpel himself!!!!!!! 😆🤦‍♂️🙄😑

loose packs was a garbage take

Its nice that you are glomming on to the pokemon thing. You are doing well at going the wrong way. Keep it up.

In my area every card shop is essentially a magic the gathering shop. They have pokemon but it’s secondary.

yeah ESPECiALLY because of your age I'd definitely look into Pokemon Rumble from 2009 - it's an easy 16 card completion and the top six or seven cards are fire! The art isn't really 8-bit - but definitely gives off a retro video game/cartoon vibe. I have a feeling it's going to pop-off soon, the Pikachu already has. not TOO much of it out there but is fairly available, just not saturated. All the best!

Data still shows loose packs going up in price over time. Look at all of XY ERA loos packs and sun and moon. I get your point but if you need a lower entry point a loose pack is honestly fine. Singles is WAY more volatile to suggest and even in your uggested time line 5 years 1 year you have no idea with singles. Sealed and EVEN loose packs have pretty steady data

Everybody goes back and fourth speculating on vintage. Vintage just doesn’t hit the new generation the same, and that wont improve in another 20+ years…most forget vintage wasnt worth much prior to covid.

I've been starting my own research on all of these Pokémon sets going back to Gen 1 all the way up to Gen 9 to educate myself on where the attention is and market behavior on these sets. I do think that despite Sun and Moon being a 2017 set, there will be people born around 2010 that, in maybe the 2030s, will start to long for their childhood cards or even the games being released around that time, just like how millennials like myself are nostalgic for gen 1 and gen 2 Pokémon.

I think surging sparks is a great play, i'm hoping i can get a couple cases at 1000 when reprints happen. I've always heard bases sets of any era is usually a weak investment and i've heard scarlet and violet base is the best base relative to all the base sets. I would probably put my money on S&V base if i was going to buy a base booster box but I don't think it's if they will go up but the velocity. I would always assume those sealed graded packs are weighed and it's a light pack a lot of people grade them just to have or sell later. Good luck on your journey i'll be holding my pokemon for 20 to 25 years also and hopefully buy some nice vacations or a nice home with it ((fingers crossed))

Everyone has their niche but I feel like this is a bad take. I was a prime ‘99 Pokémon kid. I make plenty of money and have a completed base set but absolutely zero desire to chase 1st editions or first appearances. That’s just not a thing in Pokémon. Greninja was recently voted as this generations favorite Pokémon. Greninja’s first appearance card can be had for $1.05. The early sets were heavily printed and can be had for very cheap, still, 25 years later.

A lot of pokemon 'investors' moving in one direction and focused on one thing, but there are other opportunities.

Did you watch the entire video of rev? I dont think thats what he was saying, he was worried about the future of the hobby bc of where things are headed. He definitely was not targeting only investors...

Unless you watched the booster box get opened, you never buy loose packs. That is a suckers move.

Yeah loose packs is ridicilous

Sorry I honestly agree with Alex here on loose packs. 🤷‍♂ The rip and ship craze has changed everything.

😡 don’t start pumping Vintage now trying to get a good condition Shinning Charizard

loose packs only work if your a highly trusted seller, i think 1 reason ppl avoid vintage is the high cost of entry (feels like your buying at the top) so many newer younger ppl with finite funds will just buy the new stuff since they can purchase more of it

Alex seriously comes off like an ego maniac and gives weird advice that sounds like a guy in a back alley would give, but he’s so chipper it doesn’t come off as shady but uhhhh yeahhh loose packs is dog doo ….but pokemon people are so cracked out that I’m sure there’s millions of bozos who will love to buy and or rip a bunch of weighted packs. People gotta see through the bs.

When I was deciding what my business model would be for my Pokemon online store. I decided on loose packs. Everyone is collecting sealed and it’s super overpriced. Many will choose loose packs to keep collecting!

Cheapest cost per pack wins

Like you said the new and younger collectors don't care about vintage, I don't like loose packs personally but if you can get them cheap they are a better play. Problem is you cant find them cheap without a serious hookup right now.

Booster box >> etb >> booster bundle >> sleeved packs >> loose packs. I only hold loose packs of specialty sets if it makes sense (sea and sky boxes)

Your speculation about vintage Pokemon singles being a better option over modern long term is somewhat flawed. Have you ever gone to a card show? Most if not all of kids that will be adults in 20 years are not interested in vintage. And therefor, most likely will not interested in vintage 20 years from now. It's almost the same with sports cards (though I've seen more kids interested in vintage sports cards than I see kids interested in vintage Pokemon cards). Almost always, kids these days are more interested in modern cards verses their vintage counterparts. In regards to scanning and even weighing packs, neither can guarantee a high dollar card. With scanning, it can possibly determine if there is a holo rare or better in the pack. But at the same time, a lot of holos aren't even worth 25 cents. And that's why most collectors have yet to be affected by scanning packs (and some sealed collectors just want sealed packs to display - and can be a big attention getter depending on the set and rarity - as they are not planning on opening it). My guess is that as time goes on (if not very soon), packs that are both scanned positively and that are of significant weight will fetch a premium over market over those that are not. And you're not "seeing the forest for the trees" when it comes to singles verses sealed booster packs. If you were to ask Alex, I'm pretty sure that he would tell you that on average the singles inside a pack are almost never worth what the market price is of a pack. And in that sense, it's always better to keep the pack sealed. Granted, when wanting a specific card, it's always better to just buy the card than to try and open it from a pack, but that's not the point here. Sealed product will almost always increase value whether or not the singles do. Because as time goes on and with everyone opening packs, there will always be more single cards and less and less sealed products and packs. There is data that backs that up, but it's really just common sense.

There are some good points here. But the problem with vintage Pokemon now versus where we were in 2020 is that the cards are about as liquid as jello. You may make some gains, but finding a buyer for a PSA 10 Gyarados Holo from Skyridge that you may have is a lot harder than selling more modern cards that people actually that have much larger buyer pools.

I can tell you what you are missing. Gambling. They want the scratch off with a bigger top prize. When they can’t find that then they all get salty and just start finger pointing not knowing they’re all just gambling addicts.

More is being printed but it also take hell of a lot more packs to rip through to get modern day chase cards. Wotc era was a holo that was 1 in 3 packs

They are only rushing and over pricing because of the shortage… hopefully this massive reprint hits these flippers in the pocket!!

what in the absolute ballsack are you talking about! $400-$450 a box is ok to you? excuse me? thats not ok at all, it prices out most peoples wallets and what most moms and dads are willing to pay when it comes to single pack prices. Please if this space is not yours then dont come in thinking you know anywhere near enough to speak on it. if your rich enough or well off enough that $90 base price boxes feel low to you then just buy vintage and keep your mouth shut. also scalppers are absolutly a fking problem. just went out today to try and find some prismatic for my kids and when i say it was all gone withen a 100 mile radius i mean it, gone, gone, gone, gone everywhere i went, gone. this isnt supposed to be some exclusive little club that rich people and wealthy peoiple who can go out and buy all they want or sit online and buy it all up, this is pokemon its for everybody and this is completley wrong, your wrong! and anyone who agrees with you is wrong along with all the people who are making this seem like its normal.

I don't like 3 pack blisters because they are always bent to hell. I like sleeves because they look clean and can collect all the pack arts personally.

I bought my first vintage Pokémon shadowless card in a PSA slab back during the holidays and I'm definitely looking to add more to my collection. I've got a few local card shows coming up this spring and I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for early Pokémon singles.

I understand your point completely in today’s world however I just bought a bunch of Fusion and Origin packs from a lgs I trust 100%. He’s a sports card guy and could care less about Pokémon. Broke down boxes when they didn’t sell. I ONLY collect sealed and don’t care what’s in the pack. When I go to sell them someone will get nice unmessed with packs….

When you buy the blisters make sure to buy the ones with the popular eevee promos. Not the ice cube Pokémon. The umbreon three pack blister is around 100 on eBay right now and the other around 70-80.

If only I knew this channel 4 months ago, I could of told you I was selling about 350 vintage graded cards at TCG player. Right now I'm at 29-40 left over from base set, hidden legends, unseen forces, and I believe delta species. If you want, I'll give you my store name and you can check them out. Discounted prices and pictures. Let me know
