    I do a bit of everything as well. I'm a Top Rated seller on eBay so that helps a ton with fees and profit. I only grade cards that I personally want to hold. Also keeps me from caring about the grade since I just want to protect and authenticate it first and foremost. I don't have super influencer PSA benefits to get card turnarounds of less than a month so it isn't worth it for me to send a card in to flip since I won't get it back for 2+ months. I mean, it could go up but also could go down in that time. Big gamble. I don't really like the more gambly part of the hobby.

    Great video! Back when I got into the hobby 5 years ago it was collectors vs investors. Nowadays it feels like investing is a bit more normalized. However what I will say is that there is a lot of dumb, lazy, and honestly unqualified investment content out there. FOMO being driven on a bunch of theoreticals. Not everything goes up. Not all sealed is liquid. Holding product doesn't equate to profit. These are things people don't like hearing.

    I think there's pros and cons to the "investor bros". On one hand, they are buying all of the good sets, which sends proper signals to the Pokemon Company to print good sets like the ones that do well. On the other hand, you have morons punching other guys at Costco for 151 mini tins. I will say, at least the "investor bros" are keeping the IP alive, because my favorite card game will always be Yu-Gi-Oh but Konami does none of the things to get the "investor bros" on board and the card game seems to suffer as a result. There's not much reason to hold a modern Yu-Gi-Oh set because it will never be worth more in the future due to a lack of alt-arts and specialty rarities, plus the power creep in the game mechanics.

    • @DamaCollectsCards
      @DamaCollectsCards 15 дней назад

      that'd be a fun one in all honesty, to keep it short I'll say this. Basically just started flipping cards, learning values, getting familiar with the market over time. Then, feeling comfortable enough to talk about what I knew/learned and help use that info to make people profit in the hobby. Eased into that through being a middle man for people to buy cases, boxes, etc. Opened them on stream for customers in order to garner a following, streamed nightly, got creative with ways to profit but keep it fair/legitimate for customers, used my knowledge to find things people weren't aware of or didn't have tons of knowledge on that could get buyers high ratios when graded or not, introduced odds based systems that have pivot points to help the customer in all scenarios, and above all learning my ratios of profit in regards to my customers ratios. My model is essentially if my data/understanding makes no sense, or doesn't check out, anyone can call me out live. But if I'm right, the model works and is successful. All comes down to my own knowledge in the space being a key factor towards the success of the business, and if my model was flawed enough to warrant it a failure, the business would fail. However, it's been adapting for years and business is multiplying year by year through said changes. Even as a low 20-30 viewer stream, we garner profit ratios most huge poketubers don't get at the end of a calendar year. My thing is, I put a good 90% directly back into this business to keep things running smoothly, keep customers happy, and take advantage of having cash on hand for opportunities in the market. I have other businesses and jobs, but this is the most time consuming of them all, however, I love it the most.

    I can see your point but to me it's a double edged sword. It does what you stated but it also makes product harder to obtain. Makes product more expensive if you resort to the secondary market. Brings a lot of unsavory characters into the space. In a perfect world, I can see an investor bro getting into it for money then ripping some packs and falling in love with it but in reality, I think we're just seeing a lot of characters who are blinded by dollar signs and they'll dip out as soon as that aspect fades.

The reality is the majority of people looking to FOMO in on product, especially the newest set, they aren’t sealed booster box collectors, sealed ETB collectors, etc. Most typically wanna rip product, break down product at the cheapest rate to resell, use on streams at the most affordable rate to profit, etc. They’ll have many opportunities to do so following these new sets, I’d bet a lot on that.

Same is there for 151, Blooming waters will pop up, I’d guess but bet money some form of sam’s club box comes out with it at some point down the road, packs/boxes are still readily affordable for 151. 151 is hyped, price tags are up, and it may stay up for a good bit of time, but it’s also been out for a bit now. 151 is also a special set, those usually get printed into the ground at some point, especially if demand is crazy. But again, this markets different so we’ll see. But this video is primarily for the “new, new” sets like prismatic and upcoming hype boys like Rocket. Prismatic is on another level in comparison for pre-release and resale prices right now. But it will come down, or print will increase. Just a wild market overall, but hey, you may be right.
