My Favorite Pokemon "Investment"! Nobody is doing this...

- In this video, I go over my somewhat unique approach to investing in the Pokemon TCG hobby. Collector? Investor? The line is blurred for many. Sometimes it's worth investing in something that isn't all about the "money".
Thank you so much for watching; I hope you enjoy the video. Don't forget to leave a thumbs up and a comment. Thank you so much!

I really like this idea. Just going to a 711, family mart, yodabashi or some other shops and then making a "booster box". I know my gf wouldn't be happy though LOL
Right?! Definitely go for it. Just don't tell her haha.
This is actually a great video, investing in your fun in the future. Great idea!
Thanks so much!
Great idea. Holding spares seemed okay to me but setting it up in a “booster box” format or something like that is so fun. This is inspiring me to copy you
Thanks for watching, glad you liked the idea!
You have my sub mate brilliant idea
Thank you so much!!!
Awesome idea! Where did you get those clear boxes and tape?
Good old amazon Japan haha!
Edit: I think the LGS in the same shopping mall as the Pokemon Center also has the boxes. I remember seeing them.
Nice video!! New channel here and I’m looking forward to growing along side as a creator. Good luck in your Pokémon journey !
Thanks, and good luck to you too!
Great idea worth to follow, thanks! One question - where did you buy these fancy seals?? 👍😎
Glad you like the idea! Bought them on Amazon Japan. Just simple void stickers.
Recently anytime i buy a ebt, blister packs, promo boxes, i always save a pack or two for future opens. I usually keep the packs in a semi ridge card holder. But i feel like over time this wouldnt be a good thing squishing the packs like that for the ink, but idk. This is a smart way to keep the packs safe!
Very cool! Yeah, I wouldn't squish a pack into a semi-rigid. They're made for single cards. What I do with single packs is put them in a graded card sleeve with one semi-rigid on either side. Everything's protected, and nothing gets squished. Thanks for checking out the video!
The problem is Japanese is weighable. So these will never increase as well as a booster box. Don’t do this people. Get real sealed booster boxes for investment. These are a cool collectable idea though.
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting! I 100% agree that sealed boxes are a better investment, financially speaking, but I thought I was pretty clear by saying that that's not the priority with these. That's also why I put the word 'investment' in quotation marks in the title and recommended people to not go crazy with it. I think a few packs for a displayable custom box ready to be opened years later fit most people's collection budgets. But yes, if the only goal for someone is to make money, then there are better ways of doing it.
Such a great concept. I had no idea that was your game plan. I might have to pinch that idea! Thanks
Awesome! Glad you like the idea, and thanks for tuning in! Just be careful with loose packs.
Where did you buy the plastic cases and the tape to seal?
Amazon Japan. Thanks for watching!
Great idea! Thanks darkibex
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad to hear you liked it 😄
i was planning to do this with blue sky stream and towering perfection. The v union boxes have 3 packs of both blue and towering in each box, and their really affordable right now, so im planning to create a half half booster box made of 15 of each blue sky stream and towering perfection
Cool idea! Last time I checked though, the price per booster pack in those wasn't that good. Maybe, it's changed. Plus, they're very easy to search and switch out packs. I wouldn't trust them in the secondary market.
@@Dark_ibex i found a seller, with a review where the buyer pulled a rayquaza vmax alt from it. Also their selling it for only around 25 dollars, which is a pretty good deal
@@Dark_ibex what do you think about the gengar intelon high class deck double box? Thought about purchasing one of those for the sealed collection given that gengar vmax alt is pretty popular
@@Leo-mx5jd I think they're cool! Not up to date on the price, but that will be the biggest factor. Is it cool enough at its price? If you think yes, go for it!
Link for those custom “booster box” cases? They look awesome
And those clear booster box protectors! 🙏🏼 ty
I just got them from amazon Japan. There are similar ones on ebay. A quick google will get you there.
I think I may start doing this since the Japanese Pokémon center has packs available online again 👀
Heck yeah! They have a pretty good selection now
@@Dark_ibex just ordered some acrylic cases on ebay haha. Let's hope the various packs are still up on pcj once i get my fill
I started stocking myself up with korean starbirth, fusion arts and lost abyss for future fun 🙂
I’m thinking of buying.
Thanks for watching! Just make sure you get your packs from a reputable source if you want to do the same. Pokemon Center Online Japan sometimes has loose packs for sale. That'd be the best place to get them.
so you can steal all the secret rares and repackage the dud packs
Ah yes, doing that for my future fun makes sense. So that when I open the packs for myself in the future there'll be no hits. Sounds like a fantastic plan. Think before you comment ;-)
Good idea homie. Will do the same
Sweet, glad you liked it! Just be careful where you get your packs from.
