Appreciate you all!
If you got deals bet I will
Appreciate you bro
This guy is ready for a Pokémon apocalypse
I’ll be ready to cash in or rip em all, either way I’ll be happy
I think we all have stuff we regret investing in. Think it’s just a part of the learning curve everyone goes through at some point
Exactly, well said.
You will win and lose investing. Its part of the game
Holding long enough you won’t regret it. Every sealed Pokémon product eventually becomes over msrp.
The man the myth the legend! Finally revealed lol. Nice collection!
Yeah, honestly I might regret it. I wanted to keep my brand separated from this channel, but too late now 😂
@@PokeProfitIf I had to guess making money is your brand. Cheers to you, great investments!
You remind me of myself. We have similar collection/investments. FYI, use a heat gun to tighten up the shrink wrap on those booster boxes. Sometimes the factory doesnt heat up the shrink enough. Just take your time with it, and they will look waaaay better.
Appreciate you watching man 🙏
Wonder how many people out there are sitting on similar sealed collections like this (I have about 35 cases personally) everyone clinging to the same knowledge / historical results sticking to just booster boxes etc. I’m sure out of print sealed product will still grow in value, but with the printers running 24/7 your video is probably the norm not the exception.
I’d respectfully disagree with thinking the normal person is sitting on $50k in sealed Pokemon product.
Hyperbole my friend lol. I’m thinking in a broader sense how many people are sitting on sealed product in general which wasn’t a “thing” in prior eras. There’s got to be tons of people sitting on closets of sealed product.
Im a fellow blister enthusiast as well. Somthing feels good about shifting through a bunch of random, but awesome, unified mind, evolving skies, team up, 3 packs and checklanes and just random bundles and stuff youve been able to get at good deals. This part of my investment was from when i just started and didnt have the funds or conviction to buy booster boxes or cases yet. Was just easier to drop 20 to 50 bucks every once in a while. It ended up doing exceptionally well. The one thing in particular that did insane was those dollar general 2 pack mini blisters. I bought 150 of them with team up/unbroken bonds for 3.25$ each in 2021. They sell for like 30 bucks each now. Thats a nice 10X on my very first large investment within about 2 years.
Nice. Anything team up was a solid investment haha. I’m jealous
@@PokeProfit on top of that, i figured out they were weighable, the whole blister. Opened up the heaviest ones and got a gengar mimikyu alt, lugia gx rainbow, and sylveon gx rainbow, psa 10'd all of them. So add another 1400 dollars in value, out of literally 9 dollars worth of sealed product. One of the best moves ive ever made and helped me jump start my pokemon snowballing funds lol
You need to put cardboard between your product and the closet shelf - you are denting the bottom of whatever it touches.
Nice collection, you have lots of cases. Great decision on your part. You're set for the future.
Just don't let idiots know you have it.
Criss cross your booster boxes cases. That's what I do with mine. To prevent crushing/damage.
That’s what I do as well, rows of three running perpendicular like Jenga blocks. I just figured for the video sake they’d look better like this. I still worry how long I can have them stacked 5-6 rows high though. Any idea how long they could stay like that safely?
@@PokeProfit I keep mine up to about 4 high and they seem to be just doing fine. Had them in my closet for about a little over 2 years now.
I’m gonna go 5-6 high for space reasons, but every year or so I’ll rotate them and move the ones from the top to the bottom
Your very lucky you can order cases from PC. In the UK there is always a maximum purchase limit of 1/2 for any set of booster boxes which is really dissapointing. Even cases on the secondary market are hard to come by at a decent price point.
Nice collection it looks very similar to my own to a certain degree however i have far less etb & bundles but have more variety of premium collection boxes (with the decent packs ofc)
Will be interesting to see later down the line where this journey leads us to people serious about investing.
Keep up the content mate.
Thank you.
Just remember to play to your advantage. Brits can still buy Fusion Strike at MSRP when it’s $100 above that currently. Basically free money to just spam buy those rn.
It’s unfortunate life isn’t equal, but when we have opportunities, we gotta jump on em’.
Tins are only worth it if the break down value is good, too big to store & ship not enough buyers searching for specific tins.
Chilling Reign had a lot of wrapping issues also had code card issues - Some boxes had all green code cards even though they had hits.
Interesting video! I have thought of making a similar video in the future too. Mine has quite a couple of collection boxes too because of some deals.
What's a bit furstrating over here in Belgium (and Europe in general) is that a lot of the products here come with different packs. F.e. the divergent tins, we only get the 4 pack tins and those don't have e.s. packs in them, same for the zoroark collection boxes, it's a bit different in shape and also doesn't have e.s. packs.
It's crazy how many brilliant stars bb you have btw!
Yeah it bugs me how the EU variants are different. If you do make it (the video), just don’t dox yourself with shipping labels or anything else.
@@PokeProfit yeah I have to search a lot longer to find some of those actual products from the US and because of that it's very hard to find good prices on them too.
Btw the $50k, is that the current value of your collection or how much you paid for it?
Current value, but it’s probably closer to 53-54k tbh
Should definitely think of getting those cases off the ground. The huge black and yellow containers from Costco and Sam Club are pretty secure to put them in.
Isn’t a basement floor and there are no flood risks near by. I do worry about if the roof leaked but it’s in a newer building so not too worried.
can tell you're a newer investor, missed out on a lot of the early gains but its a good start. Keep it up kid
I’ve seen a lot of your videos and holy I had no idea how much product you actually own. That’s insanity!!
I’ve talked about it multiple times in my video, so it shouldn’t have been THAT big of a surprise. Gotta find more room though to better store booster box cases 😮💨
Cases and bb are solid, but anything tin related is a gamble. Especially due to reprints and different pack selection in them.
All my tins are specialty sets or the Divergent Power Tins that haven’t been reprinted. That said, I’m never going to buy Collectors Chests again. 😂
@@PokeProfit ah ok lol fair play
What’s your thoughts on 3 pack blisters? I feel like they’re a no brainer for when SWSH booster boxes inevitably hit $500+ on average
Statistically, they don’t perform as well as other things like BBs, but at the right price they are a pick up for sure!
Nice collection. Should pay off well in the future. I've been buying/collecting/investing for years, and IMO, as long as TPCI stays the course and keeps the brand relevant, sealed Pokemon products will continue to age like fine wine.
The internet hates "Poke-investors" like us because they think we are all greedy monsters who are hoarding up precious cardboard, so they can't get any 😂.
IMO, those types of people are just mad because someone else is more disciplined in practicing patience and money earning/investing skills, and it makes them feel insecure.
They themselves lack patience and basic understanding of supply/demand and will continue to stay at their level due to this.
Keep doing what you are doing, and don't worry about what the internet thinks. Your videos are informative and help keep like-minded people updated with the Pokemon market. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the kind words. I’m used to the hate. I run another channel where I talk about Canadian politics, the people that complain about Pokeinvestors are nothing compared to most of the radicalized freaks in politics.😂
Thanks for watching I appreciate you a lot.
is that it
🥲
Hey bro could I buy any pokemon booster box currently and hold it for 20 years and it’ll go up in value ? Like let’s say I buy the paldean booster box for 60$ now , you think in 20 years sealed still it’ll be worth at least 1k?
Every booster box in Pokémon’s history has gone up in value after going out of print. So it’s very likely it’ll continue to happen. I don’t put price targets and estimates on things so, $1k, who knows.
nice to get a face to the voice! I have chilling reign booster boxes that came sealed like that too. very hit or miss with that set. Where are you finding Paldea Evolved for a good price? I'm looking to get some more soon, cheapest im seeing is about $145cad a box rn
Hobbiesville had a coupon code “MAY4” going the past couple days. Pokezone was also selling out some PE at $134.99 as well, but I think they sold out now. It’s been tough to find decent deals the past couple months.
@@PokeProfit I feel ya, that set is the only SV set that has somewhat maintained value and hasnt really sold too low. I'll keep an eye out on hobbiesville, never bought from pokezone! I'll have to take a look there too. Thanks!
How does it seem to be all fine with TCG's but called SCALPERS with other stuff?
Define scalping?
@@PokeProfit
I know i replied on your video but it wasnt an ‘attack’ towards you personally…
but; scalping = buying items to sell with big profits. Right? 😅
When did you start investing? What inspired you to do it?
I’ve only been in Pokémon investing for the past couple years. Investing in general since I turned 18. I invest because I like money.
How much do you invest into other asset classes like stocks? Is there a percentage you usually stick too?
Pretty much 100% of what I make off my main UA-cam channel from ad revenue and affiliates will go towards SPY or VOO.
woah first cam vid!! super nice collection thats amazing
and welcome back to Canada :D
Thank you. I probably won't do a ton of cam videos, probably some, but it takes so much longer to render/upload.
And it feels good to be back in my hometown to visit, but feels shit to be back in Canada, this country is changing for the worse IMO, but I'll leave the politicing for my other channel. I don't wanna alienate anyone haha.
@@PokeProfitnot only canada. Im seeing a lot of sh*tshow over there...but im in europe. Trust me germany is not better 😅
Yeah I feel bad for you guys. Mass immigration and fascism is the fast track to destroying the West 😂
Do you every rip packs for yourself for fun or is everything you buy solely for purposes of making profit down the road on your investments?
My sister and I opened a CR booster box around Christmas. We’ll probably open one again this year. We started collecting Pokémon as kids, it’ll be a fun thing to do once a year together.
My sealed collection so small compared to this
And that’s absolutely fine. Don’t compare yourself to others. There is always someone with more, but that doesn’t mean they have a better life. 🙏
When you plan to sell your booster boxes would in cases of 6 or individual boxes ?
I’d list individually but sell as cases if someone want to buy a case
There are tutorials on how to tighten up loose bb with hairdryer
Bro I think the CZ ETBSs are a great investment. It’s a fantastic set! Give it a few years.
Agreed. They’ll do awesome long term
Nice man...BB flex...I got a bunch I regret buying at the beginning so I broke down some collection boxes and tins that won't sell
Yeah that’s the exact same thing I’m in the process of doing. Will be nice to get rid of some of the tins and boxes and have a bit more room.
I just got a case of brilliant stars booster boxes from PC and the special tape on one side is broken and resealed with normal clear packing tape :((( and on the other side the special stop tape looks extra thin ))):
Did they put the receipt in there and I should remove before reselling or should I not touch it so I can truthfully say it hasn’t been opened? When I recently got a case of lost origin, it didn’t have a receipt on the box but it was also fully sealed with the special stop tape.
Might as well open it, a potential buyer is going to question it
I open all cases I get from the PC.
Does that affect value? @@PokeProfit
I’m sure there is a small case premium but that’s normally for boxes in good condition anyway. I always figured with how Pokémon doesn’t double box and just ships the case as is, there’ll never be a strong premium on it anyway if you keep it sealed.
How many 3 pack blisters in a case? Thinking about picked up from the PMK center…. Or is that just dumb?
i wouldn't do it if I were you, watch his video on it if you want more info
They most likely won’t send you a case, but it’s 24 and an equal mix of the promos.
@@WilesEmu pikapikapapa made a good video showing the comparable-to-BB gains 3 pack blisters make 🤷♂
Nice inventory. I have 1 bb of chilling from PC that came with lose wrapping like yours too.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching
Okay face reveal lol hey this was an awesome, interesting & cool video to watch. I have a lot more to say but I’m On my way! To work at 6:04am 😅
Thanks for watching. You’re on that grind. Go make that bread!
7:07 those are actually Crown Zenith booster bundles not Chilling Reign.
Talking is tough for me haha
Wild stock of products!
Thank you!
Amazing collection!
I don’t consider it a collection, but thank you!
That's a nice collection! Must be rough to be back up north from SA.
It’s nice to see family, but yeah, Canada is going downhill FAST.
Pokemon in Canada
Nice to finally see your face on camera. Also, new channel idea... Poke Profit and Politics haha... Think about it!
Haha oh god..I’m trying to piss off less people this year. Pokemon is my happy place 😂
@@PokeProfit Same!
Crown zenith. My favorite set to invest in. Not bad
Yeah CZ is gonna be awesome long term
@PokeProfit yup esp. The single that girantina is under-rated
Good video man nice collection don’t worry other people think there loss
Appreciate it bro thanks for the support 🙏
Just curious bro do you insure your collection?
ICBC has insurance I use. I also have insurance for the inventory that I have.
Hold it 5 yrs and get 4x
Sick bro! Thanks for sharing!
Just part of being transparent. Grinds my gears the amount of people on YT giving investing advice that aren’t actually invested in the hobby other than the tax write offs they put in their backgrounds.
@PokeProfit fair enough! I tend to agree, I think showing your collection/investments is a great way to validate your position and it kinda validates the viewer by proxy. We'll done man, I love to see what you've built, you should be proud!
Lovely collection mate
Can you make a video on exit strategy
I have a video on this already called “My Pokémon Investing Endgame”
What's your other channel called?
Not gonna promote that page, but with my first name and wear I’m from, it’s not hard to find if someone wants to look for it.
@@PokeProfit I found it. Glad you're doing better now, tinnitus is a bitch.
It taught me a lot. I feel bad for people that don’t have a support system though and have to go through that solo.
@@PokeProfit Yeah man it must be hard. Got to say we're kindred spirits when it comes to politics. Might start watching more of you over there than I do here. 😂
I don’t know why but the voice with that face was very unexpected lol. I don’t mean this in a rude way I’m just genuinely surprised.
They say I have a face for radio and a voice for print!
Same. For some reason I thought he was a teenager. 😂
@@PokeProfitlove that 😂
Just say it, we all thought he was a nerdy skinny tall dude named Ethan
Didn't surprise me that much haha, but I would not have guessed it like this either😛
basically him
Nah, just an NPC
had same experience like you on chilling reign booster box and yea legit just super shit quality
That one I pulled wasn’t even bad either haha. I have some atrocious ones in another case. Pokemon really was drunk for a couple years there. 😂
@@PokeProfit that's insane tbh i hate how those boxes are basically no longer aesthetically pleasing for a sealed collector however could be decent pack rips in the future I just don't see anyone paying for/ a crap seal vs a good condition seal
Amazing collection
Thank you. I don’t consider it a collection, it’s just my investments, but I will say it’ll be hard to let go of some of it in the future.
Super duper nice collections!!!❤
Thank you! I don’t consider it a collection, just investments, but I don’t love having some of the ideas in my possession. Great feeling to hold a case fresh BB in your hands.
You’re insane dude haha crazy collection 🤝
Thanks for watching I appreciate you
"if you cant tell i got tiny ass hands"
no man should ever admit that
mind ya own damn business
Yeah except I don’t really give a fuck at all because it’s genetics and I’m not insecure about things outside of my control.
I’d be much more embarrassed to be obese or a shitty person since those are things in our control as humans.
HOLY SHNIKEZ!
dope collection man
Thanks. I don’t consider it a collection, just investments, but I do love some of the items I have.
Nice. One day I hope to work myself up to that
With time brother
@@PokeProfit I can get Like a case a week off of sword. 2 off of scarlet but. I'm trying to save for a sports car first
Awesome. I’d personally never buy an asset like a sports car that’ll likely depreciate the second you buy it, but if that shit makes you happy and you can leverage it into positive things in your life, that’s all that matters.
@PokeProfit I buy it to keep will be my third one but yeah I'm doing what you just did can't wait
do u have evolving skies bb?
Nope
The internet hates you? Your perception? Or they do? Good collection. B stars will work out for you very well.
If you have any sort of opinion in politics on the internet, you’ll be hated. That’s just how society works since 95% of people aren’t emotionally intelligent enough to have legitimate conversations on important issues.
@@PokeProfit ok politics. That and religion set the world on fire. And much much more.
nice collection!
Thanks, I don’t consider it a collection, just investments, but I love having and looking at some of the BBs.
Seeing shit like this makes me less confident in my Pokemon investments. How many people out there are in Hoarding crazy amounts of these products?
Seeing people say stuff like this makes me more confident in my investment. People need to run the numbers and realize there aren’t as many boxes out there as they think.
@@PokeProfit bro I am with you... I'm just saying... I am still very confident (and I'm still investing and have done very well since 2016).... But I am just saying bro, if there's 10,000 dudes like you and I with a crazy hoard like this (I have one too lol), then is it not a possibility that if hype dies down (even to 1/3 or half of what it is now which is very realistic ) and that many of us have a hoard and we all decide to sell in ten years, there may be a complete flip where supply is greater than demand.
Not saying I fully believe this will happen, but do you not at least see that as a possibility?
@@PokeProfitalso genuinely curious, what about my comment possibly gave you confidence?
How do you know there are 10,000 people like me? Do you know what the average investor has in terms of inventory?
How do you know we will all sell at the same time?
How many booster boxes of a given set are created? How many are opened? How many have been destroyed? How many will be opened in the next 5 years? How many will be destroyed or damaged in the same period?
Lots of people like to talk about how everyone is hoarding product, but their claims are often baseless and not based on any sort of accurate statistical model.
If they did, most people would realize there are a lot less boxes out there than they think, and that a lot more will be opened or damaged in the coming years.
The much larger and relevant threats to Pokémon investments are the possibility Pokemon becomes much less relevant in popular culture, or massive cival/economic issues, both of which we are safe from for now.
@@PokeProfit I have a sealed collection worth about 100k. But almost every single person I know buys and hoards sealed products these days. There are statistical numbers for how much of each product is printed. The number is very high. Right now with this amount of popularity, that's fine. Like I said, if interest goes down by 50 percent (very realistic) then I do see potential for a lot of people to need to dump at the same time (life happens, bills come, and most importantly, this shit takes up a ton of space) and when that happens and demand is half of what it is now (or less) then people like us with this amount of product are not going to be feeling like we do now. All I'm saying. To deny that as a possibility is delusional. Evolving skies and team up and certain sets should be fine still but everything else could lose a ton of value and interest.
Again I still believe in it a lot but you can't predict where the world will be and what kids of the future will be into 10 years from now
Amazing work!!
Thanks man
Awesome
Enjoyed this type of video awesome job 👍
Just me continuing with the transparency. Glad you enjoyed the video as well 🙏
I’m 5k away from 50k and 1/3 of your space 😎
Good for you!
Loved this video🎉🎉
Thanks man
Why I thought you are like 17 years old 🤔🤣
Dog I’m balding and got back problems 🤣
@@PokeProfit yeah shave your head and do some pushups 💪🏼😆
Bruh my bench PR is 330, we don’t do push-ups anymore.
@@PokeProfit Don't worry I'm bald, nice and smooth. God only made so many perfect heads, the rest he covered with hair. 😁
Interesting. Not as I had imagined entirely.
I’ve talked about the investments before, so it shouldn’t have been that surprising 👀👀
@@PokeProfit talking about the face reveal lol
Ah okay 😂
Lol you keep saying dox yourself. If someone wanted to find you it wouldn't be hard.
Cool bud. Thanks for the engagement
@PokeProfit your welcome I guess lol
🐐
