No more stimulus checks, unemployment, or PPP loans to artificially prop up the markets. Prices are now stabilizing and going back to the way they used to be.
In 2013 I was at Nationals and someone was trying to sell a raw illustrator Pikachu for $5,000 and people were like “no fucking way” because they thought it was over priced. Times have changed so much.
Saw this exact thing first person when I was in Japan, although it was with sealed product and not actual singles or slabs. Visited a store called Card Secret which had a wide array of both Japanese and even English (surprisingly), but as soon as you walk in the door there’s immediately sealed pokekyun and boxy boxes for sale for like easily over a million yen. Obviously I couldn’t afford any of that, but it was still really cool to see in person and def kept me looking around the store for longer than I probably should have lmfao
At the start of 2020 I got into graded Pokémon card collecting. Then Logan Paul made the market go boom. I sold a bunch of cards at a 4x multiplier. People who bought those cards at the market peak are now holding those cards 3 and a half years later at half the value of what they paid. Volatile investment markets are br00tal. Now I do crypto. Gonna do it all over again, but with even bigger multipliers
Most of these cards sold for way more than what they were worth during the pandemic and people that bought them are finding it difficult to sell them for the same price they paid let alone a profit.
Back in 2018 even collector cards weren't really worth that much. But the playable cards were 20-30x the price they are now. It's weird how the market has completely flipped
I recall trying to sell my psa 10 1st edition holo blaines charizard for like 200 and the guy wouldn't pay more than 180, we never made the deal and I held the card and sold for 2.5 to 3.5k or something
@@skrkttrqzq9984 i once listed an item for 40 bucks, watcher offered 34. i went to 37, he went to 35. i countered one more time to 36 and he declined. stubbornness both ways happens a lot i reckon sold the item a few days later at 40.
It think that’s an oversimplification there’s no way some of these cards show up just to boost some mid listings- no doubt the AAA bond Pokémon cards are sweating
Just found your channel and I think you're bang on - you having that illustrator pikachu and some pal city cards made me go through all your listings! on another note though, I've always thought anything over $200 for a card was outrageous (it's just a little piece of cardboard that's going to sit on my shelf!) but half of the stuff I still want (usually rare/obscure japanese cards) is between $200-$10,000! How does this even happen? who are these people spending my monthly salary on one piece of cardboard?!
Well I may I just got laid off yesterday alot of the other coal miners are getting laid off . So it's gonna be going up very fast until the end of the election
government helicopter money finally dried up. Stocks and housing are next to fall. Many Pokemon cards have hit bottoms but the big, old, rare, expensive ones still have 70-80% to drop. It'll be unimaginably steep.
Those items will never drop because the people who hold them have enough money and don't care to sell. Luxary goods tend to be the most uneffected during hard economic times and those old rare and expensive ones are just that. People who can afford to buy them have enough money to not sell.
Housing isn't falling anytime soon There is still a housing shortage by 1 million homes. And now big investment firms are buying out houses to rent them out.
I actually have the unlimited version of that shirt
😂😂😂😂
Best comment I've seen in a while

I’m praying for massive price drops but people hold there cards and try to get every penny

how long ago was that?
@skrkttrqzq9984 I usually sold my stuff for less than market value so no, I wasn't about to sell something too cheap
@RadiantCollectr6283 probably bought the card 2012, tried selling 2016, actually sold the card 2022
Thank you

Bigger buyers market coming in my opinion - burn baby burn...😅

what's going on with vintage these days?
Cards selling better than ever! people just scared to list bulk
youtbers made things seem rarer as an illusion until it got saturated
they dont sell because they are too expensive and non desirable in a blend. Um supply and demand is the better known phrase.
I have a basement full of old Pokémon cards. What do?
Selling as a bulk lot is the easiest way once you have a rough idea of value
@@cuddledog142 Thanks. So just take them to a store?
And another one.
Are u sure its not because alot of people are being laid off from their jobs 🤔
Average American is spending 1k more on groceries than they were 3 years ago; but yeah, cards are sitting because everyone is running side hustles.
Well I may I just got laid off yesterday alot of the other coal miners are getting laid off . So it's gonna be going up very fast until the end of the election
There's like 9 million unfilled jobs right now
It’s a non holo version 😫

People saying housing is next to fall for 3 years and I yet to see that happen 😭

There is still a housing shortage by 1 million homes. And now big investment firms are buying out houses to rent them out.
All the moneys in crypto right now. Personally, I stopped buying cards for this reason
Waiting to talk about crypto until the pico top in 6 months?
