    I remember in the early 2000s buying a couple first edition fossil packs off eBay. They were around $20 each. Ended up opening them because I didn’t think they would go up in value so much. Apparently they were weighed but back then I had zero knowledge. I just thought it would be cool to rip open some childhood booster packs.

    Just got back to pokemon this year because of your videos and love your philosophy on sealed and holding it long term. Been doing it for stocks For example In 2013 i bought $30,000 worth of apple shares and have it to this day. Back then it was around 450 a share but with all the splits I averaged at $25 a share. Currently worth over 250k and going to pass those shares and pokemon sealed to my kids in 40 years lol

      Glad you found the channel and thanks for watching.
      That's a hard question. There is a lot of good Info out there but also a lot of bad and it can be hard yo determine in the beginning. I would say just take in info, ask questions, and research the data on how other like things have done over time si.ilar to what you are buying.
      I have a free discord link in the description which is a good place to be a part of with others to ask questions and things like that.

    Ya the whole craze of older bigger better never made sense to me, lots of bought net the top and got burned. True investment in anything for profit was always buy low and sell high. And the best way to do that in Pokémon ? Buy pre release or at release for low, and hold it.
