Anyhow, eventually they will all sell their stuff, maybe keep a few cards, and just clear their closets and move on. Or they will move on to things like selling $2.50 booster packs for $10 on whatsnot for a while....

      I never understood this. Are you sure your not talking about scalpers? How does someone keeping 3 boxes sealed and opening 1 for fun per set instead of opening all 4 right away ruin the hobby for you?? Why does it matter what other people are doing? It actually helps because the more investors, the more sealed product we will have in the future. Which will make sealed products cheaper for us to open down the road. This whole thing where you can't think of money that you worked so hard for while buying expensive collectible cards is crazy to me. I want everybody to have awesome collections for the least amount of money as possible.

      @jerseyjohn123 I 100% agree money shouldn't be everything, but pokemon is a ridiculously expensive collectible, and a lot of pokemon investors are fans and collectors first. The people looking for this information are new people, or people that dont have alot of money. I just dont get why it ruins the hobby for you if some people care about the value more than you. If you look at the biggest collectors in pokemon I put my life on it says they care about the value a ton and have been investing heavily for years. Especially if you're spending your hard earned money on sealed boxes also. To some people thats bad and you're an investor bro. It don't matter if you plan on trading them or selling them it's the same thing. You probably wouldn't be sitting on a ton of boxes if you knew for a fact they would never go up in value and be worth trading for other things. You would have some of your favorites to open down the road but you wouldn't be dropping a ton of money and having a ton of product like you said you have. I just think it's crazy all these people that hate on pokemon investors while they're also sitting on a ton of sealed products. But again, I totally agree that value shouldn't be first but it should be in the back of your mind if your spending your hard earned money on something. If you wanna have the best collection for the cheapest amount possible than you gotta think about the money and be smart. Ask any big-time collector of anything, and they will talk about the value.

    Great Vid s always. My investment advice is 1.) Hold, Hold, Hold. Pokémon is a long term hold. 2.) Sealed is King. Even the most unwanted sets like Evolutions go up. 3.) Invest in sets you believe in, don't spread out just to diversify. I'd rather have grabbed 10 boxes of team up then 2 and a bunch of others, stand on the sets you believe in. I believe in Japanese 151 so I grabbed 9 boxes. I think Chilling Reign is 2nd best S&S set behind evolving I grabbed 4 boxes. I believe in Lost Origin, Brilliant Stars and Fusion Strike long term so I'm currently grabbing them.

    Best card investment advice I can give is enjoy what you are collecting/investing in. Proper sealed items collecting like(Booster boxes, ETBs, UPC, etc..)
    Seriously though, if you are not enjoying it, the investment is nothing more than a pile of boxes sitting in a storage room somewhere. I love my invested boxes to be displayed because I enjoy looking at them and how they decorate my office/gaming room. In this aspect, its far easier to sit on, but that is just me.

    None of the advice is necessarily bad but I think its bad to rely on these videos and advice as gospel. As you said, if you're active in the hobby and genuinely enjoy Pokemon, you will gain a gradual understanding of how you want to go about things.
    Doesn't take that long either in my opinion. A good few years and you generally have a good idea of what you like to buy, how you go about selling, how much money you want to put in, etc. I understand why these videos exist but I don't think it is a good idea to rely on any of them.

      I've found the speed of appreciation recently a tad alarming. Like Lost Origin was £115 a month ago and now it's £200. Either demand really is that insane or there's a lot of speculators. Could be the start of a longer term bubble. It'll be interesting to see what happens in 10 years when all these hoarders plan to sell.

Cards don't have fundamentals, just technicals. They are just as speculative as crypto, which one could argue has always "just gone up." The only way for values to continue rising is if cash inflows outweigh outflows with the rate Pokemon produces cards.

      @@trey6615 Weird and slimy because anyone who was interested in actually investing would do some research and find real investments that have performed much better than pokemon. Most Pokemon "investors" are simply flippers looking to cause or take advantage of false shortages. There's a reason most investors have complained about this newest generation of cards, because pokemon is back to printing billions of cards and these flippers can't profit off false shortages.
      Also weird and slimy because there's people like you. Those that see a video and get so triggered by it, feeling that they are under attack, that their only option left is to lash out several times in that comment section, casting juvenile insults at randoms to feel better about their weird and slimy nature.

    Pokemon printing cards so fast. Let alone buying older set, even completing modern sets as a hobby is not financially advisable. New sets come and go like consumables. Print, distribute, buy, next! But wai.... Don't care, here's new product. My paldean fates haven't even come yet! Don't care, here's temporal force, cyber judge preorder!.
    For graded cards, it's not only depends on whether people interested in graded cards. But also whether the company you grade your card with destroyed their own reputation while you are sitting on it.

    Evolutions, objectively, will be a tough sell with 151 on the market. Evolutions looks like ASS, I laugh everytime I see the prices on it. It DOES NOT fill the nostalgic gap for base set. There are better sets with more impressive art in xy expansion. Most base cards set aside minty holos and grade 10s are affordable. It looks like base set took acid and ran backwards through a corn field lmao. Same with S&M, outside of the top cards and hidden fates, it has little to offer except rainbows and gold cards. Some full arts. Objectively though the cards aren't as appealing as swsh. Only time will tell, but I'll put my money in good condition wotc vintage and the masterpiece that is swsh.

    • @catcrapinahat
      @catcrapinahat 6 месяцев назад +1

      Brother I agree, the full art mega ex cards are pretty cool but other than that evolutions is boring as hell. IMO the secret rares in XY sets are slept on but as a person who has been into pokemon since the base set nothing comes close to the alt arts in swsh, the beautiful silver borders and crisp art. I don't know what's guna hold value I just collect what I like and I've been slowly snatching all the alt arts I can when prices drop. I didn't think the tag team cards would explode in price but I loved those and snatched them up for relatively cheap now I wouldn't buy those for the prices they are now so the ones I'm missing will stay out my collection for now lol.

    • @eeveevault
      @eeveevault 6 месяцев назад +1

      Can't go wrong collecting what you like. Missing out is not always a bad thing in regards to S&M. Sealed product will stay high, but singles will eventually be affordable again. I saw my raichu&Alolan Raichu alt go from 30 to 170ish on the high, and back down to 118 currently. That hype only happened due to swsh alts. Granted S&M has less print runs overall and the card quality definitely wasn't always there for English. I opened more hidden fates than anything I'm sure, Including the rayquaza premium figure collection. Probably my biggest mistake other than selling a complete base set for cheap on ebay.
