    Your strategy of taking half off the table at 100% gains is a great way of doing things (in all investments). You reduce your cost basis to 0 and ride the rest for free.

    Recognizing the cycles of what’s going on as a whole is pretty important -people were able to get swsh positions early on at “pretty cheap” prices so those people are willing to cycle out of their positions at lower price points than others. It’s playing the waiting game of people moving out of those positions and the floor organically raising on those items to meet the prices your willing to sell at, but patience and Pokémon for most, never mixed well

    I've gotten to the point with my sealed product that I don't even need to "hide it away and forget about it"
    It literally makes me happy to continuously add to my seal product collection. Little to no desire to open anymore, because the idea of passive gains excite me more than any of the pulls can.

  • @Hiron16
    @Hiron16 Місяць тому +1

    Scarlet and violet will do well for sure, better then what people think, but I really think that swsh it’s the big dog of modern Pokémon. Swsh it’s doing well and it will do very very well in the next 2-5 years. I only see positive things for swsh in the future, especially the major sets. Btw, did you see the alternative cards of evolving skies ? It seems to me that they are sky rocketing in the last few months, at least in my language (Italian).
    Keep up the good work Alex!

    All of these sets will grow over the next five years. However, they can’t all be $1,000 boxes and won’t be. Keep your expectations within reason and continue to hold until there is enough gains from a single booster box sale to pay you back for it and allow you to reinvest in newer products

    15-25% gains is good if your already up on the investment. If you bought in and see a 15-25% it's nothing when you have to factor in 13% taken straight away for selling fees along with postage and packaging costs.
    Just need to remember if you get in at a price you need to see roughly a 30% rise in price AFTER the purchase price to see good gains

    I haven't purchased cards in such a long time that I sometimes forget I have a bunch of sealed product in the corner lol I still watch TCG content daily but I'm starting to forget what products I had purchased for investment purposes already since they were all paid for by previous TCG gains. I just really REALLY dislike this S&V era right now and don't even know what I'm comfortable in investing in - SWSH was so much easier.

    • @Socherbal
      @Socherbal Місяць тому +1

      Weird take and flex but ok. I don’t see how you like sword and shield era and not like scarlet and violet era. Scarlet/violet has just as much beauty if not more, and so far, it hasn’t been printed to the ground like some of sword and shield was. No brainer investment. My take? Stick to booster boxes and pc ETBs, buy cases if you can afford it, and buy the boxes when they are less than $100 and you can’t go wrong. Don’t understand the confusion

    Best thing to do is buy right after the release dip and not look back. The whole mentally of saying it will always get cheaper or it's going to zero is never true. Even Crimson Invasion is $260 so if you bought at $70 or $75 when they were giving it away, you have a huge gain

    Seeing swings at this point doesn’t bother me. Personally I’m lazy and rolling over profits into a new set isn’t something I see myself doing. Im not considering selling anything off till the average price for swsh is 500+ for a bb. At that point I’ll sell off my lose bb’s and the cases will be kept till everything else is sold so I can get the best premium for them. My long term plan is once my collection hits 250k+ currently 60k I’ll start moving it over into the stock market. I fully expect this to take atleast 5-7 years and add a few more to sell off at the best price.

    By 2030, an Evolving Skies box will be worth wayyyyy more than its current market value, and so as the other popular sets within that era. Yeh, it's a long while, but just stash them booster boxes/cases away and forget about them. The same will happen with S&V and so on. History always repeats itself with Pokemon.

    It's the same cycle over again. At release of SV nobody loved it, stick with SWSH. Now we are after the mid point of SV and people shift to SV calling it a good investment. And thus SWSH goes into stagnation. But then SV reprint happens and it will shift back once more.
    That gives a good opportunity to get some SWSH around or below 200 a booster box to add to your collection. And wait for the SV reprint window starting with SV151 of course. Add some more SV. And meanwhile SWSH will get into a new cycle of gaining to a new price point beyond the ath from say May to July this year.
    When we're getting into the end stage of SV with the last sets next year SWSH will take the SM route and the reprint window ended on SV sets like 151/Paldea will take the SWSH route. Until the next era starts and the follow-up after SV gets hated, SV will see more gains. Rinse and repeat. Hell Celebrations might get some action once that 30 year anniversary gets closer and closer.
