UPC with non mixed packs(151) - PC ETBs - Booster Boxes are my main holdings. For sets like Prismatic i would take anything at MSRP. Good luck everyone, been a great year for my old investments.
I believe location should go into your decision. I live in Los Angeles so I have a big market of consumers/shops/card shows. People usually say booster box over etb due to shipping expenses when you sell (makes sense if you live in rural country where you can’t find any buyers). I picked up 15 evolving skies etb’s this weekend for 150 each, so to me it’s a lot cheaper than it is buying a booster box for 900 if you do the math. Also if they appreciate in 5 years I think selling an etb for 350-400 will be much easier then selling a booster for 2000 bc the fear of getting scammed increases the higher the purchase price but you need to be in the right market (location) in order to do so.
I have to agree that singles are far more volatile than sealed. Singles should be more viewed from a “collecting” stand point that could be a good investment. Sealed will always be your safest bet, and I agree with your product selection for best investments. Although, collection boxes if bought at a good price (I usually try and pick them up for $3-3.50 pack cost average, so a 4 pack collection box for $12-14 is a good buy) can also do well. Most times you’ll do better breaking the box down and selling the packs individually than to try and sell sealed in the future.
Don't need to wait decades $5k just in 2019 to early 2020 for Sun and Moon sets is over $50k. If one would have, though very difficult to know, put $5k just into Team Up in 2019/2020 when they were $70-$80 at most places you'd have made $145k profit
Makes me wonder if we should be buying up paldea evolved obsidian flames paradox rift astral radiance while its still a $100 a box. Astral has some nice cards
Surging Sparks booster boxes are going pretty crazy. When I was looking for packs, the three pack blisters were the best value. Normal pack price, and a free Zapdos promo. The market is shifting around like crazy, but I'm loving it. It feels like hunting as opposed to farming, like regular investing
Alex! I agree with you on booster boxes being the best investment. It's worth mentioning though that some promos in PC ETBs are going for crazy money in PSA 10 right now, mainly PE and OF. People might buy them in the future just for the stamped promos alone. If they get a PSA 10 grade they will make a tone of money, if 9 then probably still make something and still gonna have packs to open.
yep the prices on the prismatic PC ETB is going to be wild - I'm going to be soooo tempted to sell but I really want to hold these. That sleepy Eevee in a 10 is likely going to be the most expensive PC ETB promo to date.
Love the vids Alex. I’m still greenlit on many Pokémon investments. I’ve had several 100%’ers just in the last 12 months. Been following your ship and I’ve built a small 5 figure position. Previously it wasn’t relevant in my portfolio but since taking it serious and coming up with my own metrics for products it’s not only a good gainer, it’s fun haha. It brings back the lack of optimization that used to be relevant in stocks.
Just bought 6 evolving skies single pack umbreon art blisters for 22 per. The booster is at about a thousand so that move made sense for me. Much smaller scale obviously but an opportunity for a such a small fish in a massive pond to get a small slice.
Did you get inspired by my comments for this one. Best video you ever made & you've made a lot of good videos. This is one of the essential Pokemon investment videos. Everything you said is what I've been trying to explain to people but it's complicated the way you explained it is perfection. Blessings everyone let's get wealthy off a kids card game.
Gotta ask: what about those mini-portfolio sealed boxes? Like if fusion strike is going to the moon for BB, how about cases of those crazy little binders that still have 1 pack per product? (doesn't seem very space efficient).
Opinion on investing in sleeved booster pack cases with 144 packs = 4 booster boxes if cheaper than 4 actual booster boxes? Awesome video! Always love the knowledge and information you share.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
I love PokéOz, but yesterday he made a video about potentially waiting to invest in SV products because the prices are high and all I could hear was Alex in the back of my mind saying, "I'M GONNA WAIT!!!!" 😂
So Alex, how do you enjoy the hobby? Ex: Do you buy booster boxes to store and open 1? How do you actually enjoy the hobby but also think about investing simultaneously.
Alex, I agree with your sentiment on the PC ETBS might not having the same liquidity in the future, however Im interested to hear your thoughts on Prismatic Evolutions PC ETB Case as a Long term hold due to them limiting the ordering quantity to 2 shortly after releasing them.I was able to order a case and I think it could be a crazy product especially with that Eevee promo.
I kinda disagree with the booster box and ETB analysis. Price per pack is the only thing that matters. But ALSO, storage. ETBs are kinda a waste of space, but being a smaller upfront investment, it caters to a different market.
For me I keep thinking if pokemon 151 will be the modetn 1999 'base set' collectable grail for young kids getting into the hobby right now. Since in 30 years when they grow up they will have the nostalgia for this set. Thats why im buying lots of 151 sealed stuff for the long haul. Could be wrong though. At which point in 20 years ill get to open a whoooole bunch of 151 😅😅😅
Wish you luck. But there are better ways to get rich, Like work a better job and save. Or flip stuff on ebay and make 100% to 500% profit in months like I've been doing for past few months. Actually selling my pokemon that I actually made profit in and using that money to make real gains. Profit margin is slim in pokemon
Imo the PC ETBs will be a very strong long term investment, not because of the stamped promo, but because the sealed product themselves looks better than regular ETBs, AND theyre collectible
People are desperate to make anyone who talks about this stuff as investments look bad. FLIPFLOPPER!!! SCAMMER!!! LIAR!!! give it a rest. We are tired of hearing about it. Most of those people are jealous anyway.
Should I stand or sit when I wipe and when I wipe should it be back to front or front to back? Sorry it feels like you have to hold these peoples’ hands and even teach them how to wipe. The hype is getting to their heads.

Okay Ash 😂

I like this background the best. I enjoy looking at seeing what is on the shelves compared to your videos with the cases
Agreed
Best investment is deck boxes, GO GO GO
😂 oh stop it
I am now solely collecting and buying these, thanks buddy
Lorcana first chapter is the only deck that makes this statement true long term lol
No way, the best investment is the code cards. They’re going to the MOON one day
@ shhhh can’t give all the good plays to the timmys
Every set will make you money if you wait decades. My collection is basically my retirement money.
I like this

Booster boxes will always be king 👑
what about holding individual packs long term for sets that don't have booster boxes?
Depends on price points

What about X&Y roaring skies ETBs are they less likely to sell vs a cosmic eclipse booster box?
Nvm I rewatch the video 😅

vivid voltage booster boxes?

Misunderstood, I bought 10 boxes of the classic collection for retail price.
Congrats. Thats a solid investment providing your time horizon is between 35-40 years.
You have probably said it before but whered you get that shirt?

Will prismatic have booster boxes?
No

😆
Agreed, for specialty sets long term investments I do bundle cases and pc etb cases
Thanks for the update 🥃
I know you don’t have a crystal ball but do you think prismatic will continue to go up
Ya i don't have a crystal ball lol
@@NostalgiaNomics
But we do have an 8 ball!!!!🎱
@@andyhale3467 lol
It’s already $400 for a booster box(36 packs, 4 etbs)…. And it’snot even out yet…..how much higher do you want it to go??
As someone who doesnt have a crazy amount to spend what is a reasonable amount to save up to start investing?
No way to answer that. Everyone's situation is different
@NostalgiaNomics I appreciate your honesty I'm only just returning to the hobby, so my focus has been collecting having fun with my pulls!
@@LyonsRoar02 Thats the best way to be in the beginning to be honest
Appreciate the great content from a new collector! (Me!). 😎
So Alex, how do you enjoy the hobby? Ex: Do you buy booster boxes to store and open 1? How do you actually enjoy the hobby but also think about investing simultaneously.
I'm lucky because I do live pack breaks which allows me yo open thousands of packs a week which gives me my fill
do you think the alt arts from sword and shield will do well in the future?
I think the top ones of the most popular pokemon will
@@NostalgiaNomics thanks for the thoughts 👍
If you print it, the Timmy's will come!😂
I think in the future people will want Pokemon Center ETBs over booster boxes.
I have a feeling PC ETBs and booster boxes will continue to age well long term.

Best investment are pencil cases… pokemon n school supplies … watch
Dont forget bulk gengar erasers
Bundle them
Paldean Fates and 151 Booster Bundles im stocking up on!
Bros back in the eagles nest lol
Yes booster boxes are more favourable to consumers
My invesents are mainly in speciality set display case booster bundles, more specifically 151 and prismatic.
I’m so glad the pokemon go etb finally sold out. Only took 3 years
Buying fusion strike, silver tempest, and brilliant stars booster boxes. Building my retirement lol gonna keep them boys sealed
You deserve more subs, wth.
Alex! Love ya! For a friendly ball buster lemme just say "DUH!!!" 😅
Not to long ago PC etbs were dead money lol how things change. Happy Holidays man 👍
Instructions unclear, bought everything at the high and sold for low.
You my friend, cook harder than the head chef at a Michelin star restaurant.
Thinking of selling obsidian flames PC etb at 275 a box it's way too over valued the promo I feel will fall off eventually
That shirts fire. 😏
For me I keep thinking if pokemon 151 will be the modetn 1999 'base set' collectable grail for young kids getting into the hobby right now.

When crypto and cardboard stream??!
Guys only answer " need burn money to make money " that's it always been
Invest into a stock market portfolio like a man, buy Pokémon cards with the gains from your portfolio
@miller3441 I do but the only problem is for the last 10 years pokemon cards have outperformed every mutual fund and index out there by a lot!
@ no doubt! I do both but love buying stocks!
You’ve got it wrong. 😑. Be a man and invest in Pokémon…. Then use your gains to buy stocks. Then use your stock gains to buy more Pokémon….
Alex less than a week ago you said investments were dead 🤣🤣🤣
I could never keep it sealed would rip it
First again. Good morning brother😅
FOLKS! The Timmys are coming 😂
Alpha investments are the best investments
Thank you Timmy
Imo the PC ETBs will be a very strong long term investment, not because of the stamped promo, but because the sealed product themselves looks better than regular ETBs, AND theyre collectible
People are desperate to make anyone who talks about this stuff as investments look bad. FLIPFLOPPER!!! SCAMMER!!! LIAR!!! give it a rest. We are tired of hearing about it. Most of those people are jealous anyway.
