I don’t even think that’s true, I’m not a flipper but my surging sparks boxes have already gone up $130 in value since I bought them. That’s the flippiest flip that ever flipped! But I’m holding them long term.
@@ViolentRainbowit's the reason the price is stalled where it is. everyone that bought cheap is happy to offload with gains that typically took a year or two and I'm one of them 😂😂😂
I kinda have this gut feeling, that it's basically just investors/flippers selling to other investors, and not people with massive investments, but smaller investors that are sweating trying to make any plays in the Pokémon scene
If you have any local card shows I would recommend going to check it out. Pokemon is sold out basically across the board. More and more tables are switching from sports to pokemon, there is such an insane amount of demand in the hobby ATM. I'm sure what you mentioned is happening but that's such a very small portion of the sales that's going on.
@@TokeOakprobably just himself projecting his own situation. you're absolutely right though, demand is just insane right now - I sell sealed products and have met up with everyone from gangbangers to doctors, for real 😂😂😂
One tip you can share to summarise poke investing is to ride the wave and not chase it. Once the wave is gone don't bother trying to ride it, look for a new wave aka new set or undervalued set that you like or that have potential. It's not about how long you can hold your product but more of the gains you'll be getting with the same amount of money spent. E.g. You can buy an ES BB for 800 or 8 S&V era BB at 100 each, there is a higher chance of a 2x appreciation and possibility of finding at a good price/deals for the S&V/newer set. So you may make 800 instead of 200 if ES were to hit 1K. For sets still in rotation if you missed the pre-order or MSRP, just wait for discount/reprint/restock, don't FOMO and give in if you're looking to invest.
It’s certainly gone ballistic lately, with so much hype surrounding these new sets and prices skyrocketing you could easily find yourself in debt if you’re not careful. Top video mate👍
It's funny you bring up the Umbreon V alt art pump, cause it went from around $90 usd to $190 with some sales in the 200s, dropped quickly back to $140. But now it is back to $180+ and might make another run to $200
Its funny i had gone to visit my mom up north in florida and i walked into a card shop they had opened up where she lives and they were selling surging at a fair price of 140 while it was going for 200 at the time
All I know is if one felt so inclined and every 2-3 months when a new set is released buying 1 booster box (so 6 per year) is a great way to never have FOMO. For reference if you were to have done that with Sun and Moon every single product has at a min 3x to over 30x with team up BB. Which was just over 5 years ago for that particular one.
Love your videos, as a new investor it has been hard. Following your advice on sealed. Just have to keep my eye out at local stores, is about all I can afford. However, always chasing riolu and lucario 😊
Honestly before even watching this video. Which I will because I think your great, The Pokémon scene atm is absurd! Not being able to buy products surging sparks going to ridiculous prices straight after release . Iv been a collector/ recently investor for over 10 years and the current state of the hobby is truly disappointing as I’m sure many other feel the same way! A large proportion of the community these days are only in it to make a quick buck and that is in my opinion really hurting the hobby overall
I dont have the liquidity to purchase sealed booster boxes. However, I have enough to buy some sealed PC ETBs, and I was lucky enough to grab 1 case of Twilight Masquerade. I'll probably sell my 2 Surging Sparks BBs soon and re-invest my money for my first sealed BB case. Which will probably be SV base set, TM, or OF.
Good video as always. Balanced and fair. The last 6 months has gone crazy. It is interesting to see how the market is going. I expect it to go down but then back up. Singles is more up and down like you say so I don't have a great deal of that. But my sealed product, I am happy with my collection. Selling it, when the time comes, will be a time consuming thing I reckon - just on the Shiny app. I have it and I think it is superb. It does make me feel like I am some sort of investing dude seeing my pokemon portfolio expanding in value. At the moment, a daily basis. Thank you for the content, cheers mate.
That’s why I stopped buying Pokémon card products. How can the nostalgia be driven if kids can’t access and experience the cards. I’m staying away. Team rocket might be the one I go hard on.
i just take a break when hobby goes like this and even thinking about selling when it happens even tho i never sell usually... i bought for over 150k in the last 2 years during crash now im just chilling and watching collectors comment malding
most peoples making bank on this doesnt really care about it tho, my collectr went up 50k in the last 2-3 months... but i just wish i could keep chilling on preorders like it was 22-23
It's a terrible time to be a collector for those of us who aren't out for profit. It's hard to justify the purchase, especially if you don't plan to drop tons of money right off the bat before everything goes out of stock. The hobby isn't very welcoming to new people.
I hate that everyone has suddenly decided that PC ETBs are collectable, I’ve collected them for years and now that they’re all the rage they’re just to expensive to justify
I’d be careful about prismatic evolutions. It appears (via pokebeach) that the eeveelutions might not get any masterball or pokeball variations. I see this set being amazing but I think prices for the bigger chase will be about 1.5 times the chases of crown zenith. Still an amazing set but the prices won’t be what people think. As a result I think people are going to get absolutely CRUSHED by this set and cause a ripple in the hobby for at least the next main set
Which article did you find that in? I can't find it. I know we're likely not getting the second Eevee SAR but haven't read anything about the masterballs.
@@Arashiii87 I’d recommend looking at Justinbasil’s set list on his website. The eevelutions fall under "intentionally excluded cards" meaning they’ll be used for promos in products…aka not in the main set and not getting poke ball or masterball reverse holos…which is awful it it ends up being true
@@Arashiii87 you don’t need to believe me. Check justinbasil’s article on the visual set of PE. They include ALL eveelutions that are not SIRS as "intentionally excluded cards" aka no poke ball or masterball holos on them. I hate it so much and I hope they article was just misinformed
As long as inflation doesn’t try to keep up with crypto, we’ll see the prices come back closer to normal, wait for btc to come back down and that’s where our market will shift. Losers will spend their short lived gains faster than they can think of ways. Nube card shops that are already failing will cash out, people will tighten their belts and stop spending, let alone investing on/in cards
You share very good daily analysis. I only know how to use demo account, when I invested in to my main account I lost everything. Please I need an expert to assist me with my trading. It's frustrating how me and my friends loss funds in this trading. I really feel so bad.
You should stop doing it on your own,I highly recommend Sharon Santiago for trade managements. She's a licensed broker in the state Her profit is great even when there's a dip
I’m surprised because i was just gonna mention her, I came across reviews of one of their clients and decided to try it, I expect my third payment in 2 days.
Pokemon “investing” is still incredibly easy.
Pokemon “flipping” and making short term plays is getting much, much more difficult.

It's not. It's the rip and ship that is driving demand.

Definitely part of it but I think the biggest rise is the rip and ship culture!
Im selling my Corolla for whenever team rocket is about to get released

The deals around Black Friday and cyber week were so good it’s hard to buy anything right now. Hopefully Boxing Day will produce some deals!
Fingers crossed! 🙌

Couldn't agree more! Everyone gets on the chase when things start moving up sp quickly.

It's crazy how that card has been moving!
Its funny i had gone to visit my mom up north in florida and i walked into a card shop they had opened up where she lives and they were selling surging at a fair price of 140 while it was going for 200 at the time

It's a tough market at the moment mate!
Pokémon cards have absolutely zero true value to humanity and society. I say that as a true, loving collector.
I dont have the liquidity to purchase sealed booster boxes. However, I have enough to buy some sealed PC ETBs, and I was lucky enough to grab 1 case of Twilight Masquerade.

Another great video!! Can you link a new discord link? Everyone i click on is expired!!
It's funny cause the kids that want to buy pokemon cards can't afford a box
That’s why I stopped buying Pokémon card products. How can the nostalgia be driven if kids can’t access and experience the cards. I’m staying away. Team rocket might be the one I go hard on.
Who else had a Pokémon Pocket ad right after he said “Pokemon Pocket”?
I don’t like this new world we live in…
