    This is great, I haven't seen any other channels be open and honest with their losses, but that's how we learn and make better decisions!

    I got into the game only recently and went in on Japanese 151 last year and now I could have purchased double the amount for what I paid…..ouch

    Shining fates was the biggest mistake I ever made, but I learned from it. I also overspent on celebrations, I recently opened all the sealed products I have and just sold the booster packs singly and I did make my money back and then a small profit so that wasn't quite as bad but again I learned a lesson, I wont be buying big bulky things like those damn fat pikachu celebrations boxes ever again.

    Great vid mate....sooo, I've decided to sell my entire CZ master set but I'm selling it off in singles. Mistake, what do you think? The only reason I'm doing it this way is because master sets aren't very liquid. I'll be putting the money I make from them into sealed.

      CZ hasn’t even popped off yet… I would recommend holding unless you need the money or wanting to invest in something else. 🙏

      I agree with king! Unless you need it now, I’d wait 6-12 months! And selling it as singles is gonna succcck and take a lot of time/sales… I think id just try to find a cash buyer and take the hit! Once it spikes of course ;)

    I am with you with some of the items in this video. Although I would expect a sealed legit XY Evolutions Booster Box to slowly increase over time. Its a booster box, the sealed supply will dry up, the cards are fantastic to open. I have one in my collection but I will hold on to this one.

    we all fumbled especially with Darkness bro....i bought like 5 booster boxes and then another 5 of friggin Battle Styles lol. No charizard or Tyranitar either legit just a waste of $1000+...those of us that got into it/back into it during the pandemic had no idea the sets they were dropping were complete trash especially in hindsight now that i know everything i do there is no excuse to drop banger sets like Comsic Eclipse and Team-Up then after that go ahead and drop some of the worst sets. They have been doing a MUCH better job with Scarlet/Violet just much better artwork now. Crazy to think we were just eating up those trash sets like candy bahahaha.

    Thank you for sharing this. Honestly I think you do did well when you double your money. You can always do better but it can always go worse.

    I think it's important to distinguish whether you want short-term or long-term investments (of course, you can choose both at the same time). If it's short-term, your observation is correct that sometimes people can make mistakes, but of course, that's not something we can control, and sometimes things can turn out well and prices rise. However, if you're thinking about long-term investments, those products could explode in value 10-20 years from now (though they could also stay stagnant), but you have to understand that some products may only become sought after 10-30 years later and realize their potential. Of course, it's not enough if the price doubles over time; it needs to increase multiple times, at least tenfold, since money loses value over time, etc. Considering this, long-term investment makes sense. Specifically, products like the Zacian box, Celebrations Pokémon Center ETB, and more expensive booster boxes shown in your video could potentially be worth a lot.

    In the future you will make a video saying offloading celebrations instead of shining fates was a mistake.

    But: a comment or suggestion
    I am very new to this hobby and investing. It would help me much more if you explained WHY you made these bad decisions. So why did you think Vivid Voltage would be successful? How could this be done better in the future?

  • @jonxchin9600
    @jonxchin9600 Місяць тому

    It’s easy to follow what other people are doing. How can anyone know for sure how a set will perform in a certain time frame. Darkness ablaze and vivid voltage might not perform well yet, doesn’t mean it won’t do well another 3 or 5 years down the road. Easy to say at hindsight. Unlike stocks of a company, it’s not like Pokemon box has earnings where you can quantify or give a valuation. There’s something called P/E or Price over Earning ratio in finance. Pokémon cards only has Price and no Earnings. Essentially, the price is what people are willing to pay for the set. Just collect what you enjoy. Trying to predict or give a valuation on Pokémon cards is silly.

    Eevee hero's reprints coming again son son. You fine on this one. Japan is going through financial problems so don't be surprised if you see them re print all sets in demand.

  • @Stevenyoung100
    @Stevenyoung100 Місяць тому

    I buy everything at close to MSRP. I know it completely limits your options but it's extremely scary for me to buy something when it's at a high or potentially at its high. If you buy a specific set and it's not going up or it's going down right away just hold it hold it hold it and eventually it will be worth money. Some return on investment will be quick and some will be slow and some will even be a loss and you have to be ready for all of it.

  • @OpinionatedChicken59

    I really can't understand how or why anyone went all in on early swsh sets though, like even when vivid and darkness came out I knew immediately they were never going to do well because they had ONE chase card! ONE! ONE SINGLE CHASE CARD! It doesn't take a genius to realise what happens to sets like that. I felt like I was going crazy at the time surrounded by people saying what great sets they were, thank god I didn't listen.
