Deservedly so they should be going up! They are amongst the most beautiful cards that have existed in Pokemon imo. Personally, I got in late, but i managed to get a grail of mine, which was the gold star Mew followed by the beasts, Jolteon, flareon, vaporeon, celebi and gyarados.
My friend and his brother have a ton of old cards in his storage. He has no idea where, but I know for a fact he has that Latias Star and that Latias and Latios Duo heart card. I remember him asking me to attend a small pokemon card tournament after he found out me and my brother dabbled in it, we agreed to try. We lost horribly and when we asked to see his card collection when we got back to his place, he pulled out a box of like 8 binders (the huge thick ones) and they weren't light or easy to pick up, that was when we were in middle school, he has collected off and on but to a much lesser extent nowadays. His parents made him take care of things esp like collection items such as cards (pokemon, yugioh and magic). I tried to offer him a tag for some old ones but he doesn't want to try looking for them because its in a mountain of boxes and crates, he estimates it might be a few hours for him to locate.
they would've been so cheap in 2016! but still you can get a gold star for an affordable price if you're willing to be a bit looser on condition :) best of luck
I've been looking at *raw* and mid grade gold stars for about 2 years - actually finally pulled the trigger on a Flareon this year - and there's not much movement. Alakazam, Celebi, Pikachu, Mewtwo, the Regis and the Johto beasts are always hovering between 200 to $350 Canadian. Most of the video is focused on PSA9 versions of the starter's gold stars, Dragon Frontiers, etc. Which are obviously the most sought after cards and also fetch much higher booster pack prices which is unclear in its causality.
hey man thank you for your input, it's much appreciated. i do think if you search PSA 9 gold star celebi and alakazam you will see both of those have broken 1700 CAD + which I feel is much higher than what they would've fetched before. Regis are lower than that but still higher than what I remember paying for them. Ultimately it's hard to track fully but my general impression from researching them is that they've gone up. Now the increases might not be even or happening the same time across all 27 Cards and the more popular ones may be increasing faster than others. In any case it's valuable to have your input about your experience, thank you
Content great as always and the data and your personal experience. Do you think the attention is influced in part by content creators or is the general value increases mean gradual growth is accelerated? I feel at times what influencers or content creators produce can change my thought procress when investing. Thanks again and get better soon.
@@BaseSet_77 thanks as always! Sorry I didn’t quite catch your question - did you mean about Gold Stars or Modern? I definitely think social media influences things for modern but it’s here to stay and was also responsible (in a good way) for the revitalisation of the hobby. If it weren’t for Primetime Pokemon in 2011-12 i would’ve never bought back into it i think!
@pokemonstatcg bit of both but defo in modern. Seen a bit of content on gold stars but like you stated yourself, if the trend up is in the background then orobably more commenting about it.
What's your favourite Gold Star?
Entei for sure 😂😂
Gotta be Mudkip for me!
Rayquaza is King
An impossible choice. I'll go Treecko since he was my gen 3 starter back in the day.
@@pokemonstatcg newbie so dont know all of them yet but learning!

haha he should definitely look for it! let him know how much it's worth 😆
Every day the goal of getting at least one gold star moves further and further away. Should've just pulled the trigger with my first paycheck in 2016

Just bought my first gold star. PSA 6 Entei! Glad I pulled the trigger!
Nice!!
I have a gold star Torchic which looks almost perfect… expect I took it to school as a kid and had a pen explode over it 🥹 the pain

Not sure why all your minty Gold Stars are not graded 🤨
I prefer the way they look raw! these are my favourite collection cards so i lean on the collecting side more than investing 👍
