Good advice, especially when it comes to not feeling compelled to buy every set as soon as it comes out. Staying within your means is something I see a lot of people lose sight of and it burns them badly
We know exactly what our plan is for 2025. Smart money, smart moves, and an amazing LGS. Whatever the market does, we will adjust and move in smart ways. Easier to learn good collecting/investing habits than trying to predict the market. Speaking of swsh, we just bought the Giratina and mewtwo from CZ, and 2 days later, the giratina jumped $20. Even the Miriam we bought at $18 is now $41. LOVE that.
Merry Christmas to all fans and collectors! If you’re listening to this channel; this is hands down the best and most accurate Pokemon advice available both for collecting and investing! Alex, keep killing it! Wishing you and yours all the best!
Merry Christmas Nomics Fam. Heres to coming up to the end of 2024 and bringing in 2025. Thanks for all the Pokemon wisdom. Because of you I've been able to have sealed product and make some coin. Appreciate it
I know if any other SV era box reprints or additional waves hit and prices drop, I’ll be buying more up. Already buying current prices so it’s a no brainer, I’m sure any drop won’t last long before it jumps back.
Merry Christmas Nomics Fam. Cheers to an another year of Pokémon investing. Keep up the great work Alex, I really appreciate what you do. See you in the new year.
Alex literally be Santa now thanks for your content as always man!🧑🎄✊🏽😂 😎dude I get to vend in San Diego for two days come March for Mania! I’m ready to sell and buy those two days! I got a lot of 3 pack blisters for Chilling Reign, Twilight Masquerade and Stellar Crown! Shoulda got Fusion Strike before it sold out last year. PC ETB’s! And I got sleeved booster packs for Twilight, Evolving Skies, and Fusion Strike! Followed up with Booster Boxes Sword of Shield! And plenty of slabs and singles of alt arts. My goal is to buy and sell at the event wish me luck! It’s my first time vending locally in San Diego! ✌🏽😎
Dude have you seen the price movements in xy. The listings what little there is left are sky high on eBay. Dude it would be awesome for you to do a flash back video off your xy video from earlier in the year. It’s blowing up… I’m lucky to have followed your advice!!! Thanks Alex! You are for real legit! Xy is the craziest play right now still. If your hunting you can still get some good deals
interesting... so LGS's and online stores are holding product to sell later at a higher price as well as not putting all their product out at one time?????????? sounds like their business model might be changing or at least evolving.... Causing for the hobby....???? your turn???? What do you all got....... AND more importantly hope everyone has fun in 2025. Whatever version of that is for you :)
I have recently switched to just collecting Japanese cards. I've always preferred the art and quality more, but couldn't get behind the low price points if I ever wanted to sell. But with the way this market is, I just bought all the eeveelutions from Terrastal Festival for $700 and called it a day. It looks like all of them besides the eevee are PSA 10 worthy too. Those Japanese shops take good care of their Japanese cards in my experience. I feel like the Japanese cycle will be coming soon because of the English market.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
If rather have people be interested pokemon cards rather than products on shelves getting heavy discounts. It means overall more money in the market. Just have to be clever about our approaches.
Well definitely not 3 years becuase it's already over a year old so they are running out of time for the reprint window in under 2 years at this point. Also they have been constantly printing and releasing 151 but it's just not enough. The demand is too high.
Gotta simply have the output to produce more than what the demand can be but that is not something i could see pokemon doing. The reason is you would have to have more printers and have a lot running then once demand is satisfied and we go into a bear market again and less people are present...what do you do with those printers you were running crazy...sadly you have to shut them down and they dont start up again until that huge bull market...pokemon is not gonna do that. Maybe they can expand the reprint window to be longer and this way they have more time to print more. thats possible but who knows. The only outcome would be to get more printers and then have less printers running during bear market times...but again dont think pokemon would do this. But even so, the fact everyone is again going after SWSH and not even going after Paldea Evolved, Paradox, and even temporal is confusing. Lower entry point and great sets. Have a Happy Holidays!
I extremely hate those people that bitch about prices as if they are regular people "just trying to open packs". But when they talk about "scalpers" (as if they are high and mighty) they go on to explain their preferred business strategy and it boils down to them also being scalpers (by their own definition) but just being angry that others are scalping more then they are. 😒😒
The Answer is Dont Follow The Trend ! Analyse The Trend like it looks ,And look every Set as soon as possible and make your own descisions that is the right way ! With Experience its even easier ;) good Video
Hi! I was wondering if you have videos per budget? For instance, I can invest like 300-500 per month. What would you do with that money? And then how about 200 per month etc?
You can do 1 of w 2 things. If you have time and want to be more active you can buy and sell for profit to build capital for the hobby. Option 2 if you want to passively invest then by saving up for 2 to 3 months at a time and investing in a case of each set that is released. Thats more money a month than I started out with so it's still very possible to do well in the hobby given enough time!
Thank you so much! Got my hands on 8 suprise boxes of prismatic evolutions pre order, one 151 ETB and 2 SS ETB's. Now Gonna save up for the new Rocket set. Planning to invest 800 in that set. Sadly missed the boat with 151
Without wanting to sound rude at all, you look a bit wiped out dude! Go take a few days off and enjoy some rest etc- happy Christmas and happy new year man!
Cool guy cool channel can u just save us some time and get right to the point simple and easy at times it's to much side talk and I gotta skip Hella of the video

Journey Together, Team Rocket Set, and 30th Anniversary set....buy ALLLLLL!!!!
DONT LET THEM CALL YOU A SCALPER!!!
INVEST!!!!

Merry Chirstmas Legends!❤️💯🥳
Merry Christmas dude!
@risensparrow and a Happy New Year my friend!💯❤️
Merry Christmas! You growing the beard out Alex?
Haha no. Merry Christmas
I don’t think people realize that Twilight is still at pre-surging/prismatic prices.
Love the channel!
Can’t believe how fast fusion strike jumped, was definitely $220 not long ago, I was meaning to pick up a few but too much is releasing 😭😂
Happy holidays to you!
Do you think triple pack cases of surging sparks can be a good investment too? booster boxes are sold out in my country
@@mcqn228 🤷♂️

Thanks for the info, have a good one 🥃
Happy Holidays to my fellow shiny cardboard hoarders. 🙌🏼
Merry Xmas🎄🤗
do you sleeve up your psa graded cards, if so what branded slab sleeves do u use?
I like the CSP perfect fit brand best.
Do you think this could turn into a hidden fates thing where they reprint 151 or prismatic 2-3 years from now?
Well definitely not 3 years becuase it's already over a year old so they are running out of time for the reprint window in under 2 years at this point. Also they have been constantly printing and releasing 151 but it's just not enough. The demand is too high.
Congrats to the winner! I hope my box goes to an awesome person!
Nice attitude alex! Appreciate you. Enjoy time with the wife.
Love your videos, thank you!
Which would you buy ? Evolving skies booster box or case of surging sparks
At the moment out of those to evolving skies. I think SS will get a reprint next year.
I think by the end of 2025 sword and shield won’t be found in big box stores. That will be the story and what UA-camrs will be hunting for.
Sounds like we have too many sets pokemon 😭 drop a set or two down a year
Merry Christmas Alex--big things on the horizon!
Also--Stellar Crown to the moon in 2027. You heard it here first.

Timmy here. This Pokemon stuff is going to be worthless!
The TCG will never be worthless just like sports cards will never be worthless. There will always be collectors
@AlexWhite0221 Timmy disagrees! Your cardboard is going to 0 QUICK!
I will sell you my surging sparks for $300 a BB. Dude it’s a great deal. You won’t find this anywhere else. Come on take it.
Oops I’ve been buying a lot
@@idesofmarch2011 worthless junk! Surging Sparks to the moon? More like Surging Sparks to the local landfill !
