Sad part about pokemon nowadays is that everyone just talks about “investment” and just rarely here “im buying it to collect” (not thinking about if gaining any money or not)
There’s a very fine line between collecting and investing. Am I collector or investor? I’m going to keep my sealed stuff for a long time but eventually I’ll sell it off decades from now. People tend to think that collectors keep stuff forever or a certain minimal amount of time and that just not the case nor is it reasonable. I do agree with you on the sentiment or motivation behind why somebody is buying what they are buying as a “collectors item” or “investment” but all of our lifestyles are different. Food for thought.
Nah man it’s what YOU choose to look up. I go to CON and no one ever talked about investment. There are still channels out not touching the subject of investment. It is growing, but so is TCG as a whole.
@@Uncrowned_King_Benz too much demand. People travelled from Japan and China to the netherlands just for this card. I was there. 80% asian people people in the museum and when i saw that i knew it was serious.
I recently picked up a couple of Evolving Skies ETB's for a steal. So I'm hoping this investment proves to be worthwhile since it's my first time buying sealed 🤞
When a PSA 10 Marill is reaching levels of the Japanese Pikachu Postal PSA 10, that's when you should take a step back and look elsewhere for opportunities cause who in their right mind is buying that
I am having so much trouble trying to get the poke notify discord to alert me when something is available. I’ve watched the instructional video but I don’t think it works the same on iOS. Please help
Best sealed should be 151 UPC box. They will not reprint those UPC. The promos are amazing. Not to mention how many packs it carries. In my opinion or course. Best raw will have to be bubble mew. The card is a beauty and the crazy jump it had is crazy. Lucky to have 5 in my collection.
What's your opinion on the Alakazam ex 151 collection boxes? I'm never able to find anything 151, BUT the Alakazam ex boxes. I find them at my local Wallyworld and I buy every single one when I do find them.
It’s towards the bottom as far as 151 sealed products go. That being said on a long term time frame 5-10 years should perform well. If you can pick up other products like regular ETBs, booster bundles at MSRP I would grab those and sell your alakazam boxes.
I normally enjoy your content but you belching, burping and gasping for oxygen throughout the video makes it hard to enjoy haha! are you sick or did you just finish eating a 5 course meal - hope you are all good.
My own 24 best roi: aside of the 151 PC etb and UPC there can be only one: Pikachu with Grey felt hat. Picked 3 up for nothing at the museum, send it in to PSA and got 3 X PSA 10 grade. For 60 cost of grading I've got 1200 worth of cards so x20. Bought 7x 30 usd worth of Pokemon products to get an extra 7 Van Gogh copies - 7 X 20 grading cost = 350 total cost / 50 per card. Those I can 8x. Still quite nice. Last 3 are sent in to PSA atm. 6 copies got back as a 10, 1 copy as a 9 so far so good. Nothing beats a free promo return wise.
What's your guess for best sealed and singles of the year?

Yup. It’s sad people only see the $$$

I liked the comment as well.

I invest to grow my collection
Pikachu Van Gogh was the best Investment 24. Got it for free, Grading costs 20$, my PSA 10 almost 600 $ now.
That’s true Van Gogh wild
Too much copy of those especially through PSA. 🤔

Great video for those of us getting back to the hobby
Thanks 👍
The PCE Mimikyu is up +472% on the one year and +715% on 6 months.
Good call missed that one!
Good call missed that one!
moonbreon for single. and maybe evolving skies booster box. i think it went from 400 to 1000 this year
Such great content! Thx man ✌
I agree I think that greninja brought a lot of attention to the SV era. Paldea 151 and surging did later.
