    You know what I liked about this video most? There was no sarcastic undertone you usually have in the last several months... no drama, nothing regarding what other poketubers are saying. It was just pure information which is why I started watching you in the first place. Very refreshing and I hope your videos continue to be like this one!

    • @NostalgiaNomics
      @NostalgiaNomics  10 місяців тому +3

      I hear you. I appreciate that. Now that I no longer follow any of the other poketubers that shouldn't be a problem to keep that kind of stuff out of the vids 😁

  • @pokemon_classics

    Obviously, I prefer vintage. However, this was a fair, logical, and well-articulated analysis. 👍

    • @NostalgiaNomics
      @NostalgiaNomics  10 місяців тому +6

      Appreciate it brother. Also, both can do well and we can all win. Doesn't have to be a winner or loser. I wish the vintage + singles and slabs market the best going forward!

    • @pokemon_classics
      @pokemon_classics 10 місяців тому +3

      Agreed. I think one of the points that you articulated well that often gets lost in debate, is the active vs. passive nature of the two approaches too. Some (like me) really enjoy the process of sourcing, optimizing, and selling singles/slabs, while others may not enjoy it, have the time, or have the experience necessary. That's one of the reasons boxes don't appeal to me as much (they don't scratch the collector itch in the same way) . . . but that's just a personal preference. Like I said though, a lot of great points and consideration in here! @@NostalgiaNomics

  • @danwilliams3935

    You raise a lot of good points. I was really apprehensive about putting money into modern sealed product due to how high the output is on Pokemon Co's part, and the question of whether they'd still be desirable or scarce in years to come. But you're right, modern sealed products can be collected at reasonable price points, and odds are in 20 years the kids that grew up with for example SWSH will have enough wealth and nostalgia to get some booster boxes at a higher cost.
    Plus I'm banking on current sealed "investors" ripping into their own collections and reducing availability 😈

    • @NostalgiaNomics
      @NostalgiaNomics  10 місяців тому +1

      Ya I hear you there. It is not easy for people to keep things sealed and hold it a long period of time.

    • @buffalobill9793
      @buffalobill9793 10 місяців тому

      You got that right. People caving in and demolishing sealed collections daily. Most people who think they arr building a sealed collection are only kidding themselves. Anyone who has spent years in the hobby as a collector will find it nearly impossible to build and maintain a sealed collection without eventually caving to the craving and curiosity and ripping it to shreads. I suspect for every one successful sealed collection that's built there is at least 99 others that failed.

    I def liked what you had to say here - there is a great point in if you are just starting - modern is the way to go. With time and more funds to invest - one can start to dabble in the vintage :)

    People would say, "oh but the supply of vintage sealed is already reducing in numbers more than modern sealed"
    Yeah they are. But the price creep of vintage sealed has alrd reached to a point where you're bound to make more percentage gains off of a $100 box over 5 years. I could be wrong, but thats just my thoughts for all those pro vintage bois out there, but I completely agree on ur point man. Modern sealed for life 😅

    Awesome analysis. I couldn't agree with you more. I was in t he Army when Pokémon started, but like you said it's easy for anyone to collect modern. I started my collection in 2020 during the pandemic. I speculated when ES was released that it would do well. I've opened 10 boosters and have 4 sealed booster boxes and 1 case. PCI just needs to fix their QC issues. Since the S&V release its been more miss than hits on the whitening on border cards, especially on the rarity and hit cards. Keep up the awesome videos and content bro!

      I live in missouri so I have a basement where it stays around the same temperature all the time and very little humidity or at least not enough to of ever had an issue in the past 9 years.
      I am not too much of an expert on the storage side of things when it comes to the correct temperature and humidity levels. Sorry...

    Core-satellite approach, with modern being the core. If you’re trying to make money in any consistent way, modern is the go-to. Vintage is more situational bc it’s not as scalable.

    Okay yes but turn around. With modern everyone and their mother has their own closet STACKED full of modern BBS, ETBs, Collection boxes, booster bundles, blisters ECT…. So the supply isn’t going down like sun & moon or anything before that. There wasn’t this massive hoarding on the scale there is today. Your point of slabs going up & up doesn’t really have any standing when it comes to vintage bc let’s be honest no one’s ripping vintage no where near the amount that would be needed to flood the market to really increase the supply all that much. I agree with your statement that with modern everyone can do it so we agree with that but let’s say someone on your level i believe your $ would be much better spent with like what I do, I buy sealed vintage booster boxes. Okay” betting against the 25 year of booster box appreciation” isn’t what the vintage people are saying of course the prices will still rise even tho these products are being MASSIVELY HOARDED they won’t rise near the same rate as if you put that same $ in “vintage” products… even Sun&Moon. You said those are all the pros so I heard you out and I do think you are very smart and have some very good points. Now that I heard you out plz hear me out and watch any modern Pokémon related video done by the channel “Reserved Investments”. I collect pokemon but I also collect Gold, Silver, All types of precious Coins & have a small watch collection & his channel has taught me so much about “investing” in collectables. I subscribed tho man I really enjoyed your video❤️

      First, I really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this.
      Second, yes I know Shawn and understand why he feels the way he does. However, I am not talking bad about him, but he has been wrong time and time and time again about this hobby. In my opinion he has let his own feelings and performance of other unrelated areas affect his judgment and not allow him to be objective about the Pokemon and Collectibles in the new age of social media. What people value has changed drastically with my generations and the generation under mine which is why you see our dollars going places our parents and grandparents would have written off as toys or junk.
      I understand your points and the points Shawn makes but I just disagree. The world and the people are changing and this means looking as other asset classes of the past is not always a for sure indicator of things like Pokemon for the future.
      In the end only time will tell but here is my question I will pose to you. Is listening to those that get you to fear the future worth possibly missing out on something that has continued to prove true for 30+ years in sealed TCG boxes like Magic, Pokemon, ETC?
      Appreciate the sub! And appreciate the honesty feedback!!

      @@shitsonitscody The other big question is - Out of all of us pokemon hoarders/ investors. Who's gonna hang on the longest? I'm sure there's plenty of people buying boxes that have to sell way sooner than they would have hopped due to financial issues.

    It’s hard to disagree with your conclusion. Modem sealed is like dripping into a dividend aristocrat stock portfolio. It just wins. However it is boring and to some it might not give a person the pleasure that comes from other forms of collecting/ investing. I do sealed modern 💯. But I also chase down modern alt arts, full arts, rainbows, and golds of popular pokemon. SW&SH just hits differently and I think “clean copies”, however you want to define that… raw, Psa 9, Psa 10, will do well in the future.

    • @NostalgiaNomics
      @NostalgiaNomics  10 місяців тому
