I think some of them will be up over time and do fairly well but when factoring opportunity cost and the weight off your shoulders in day to day life this is the best decision. It was for me at least. Debt free is the way to be.
I wouldn't say "toast" but it does make me a little concerned....like when rusty comes out and says he's selling off some of his PC and now dagreen selling off his zapdos PC idk sounds like someone is gonna be left holding the bag of vintage cards.
@@eunit599 I was not kidding, I've been it for 3 years...yes it's "strong" but it's not in certain areas...Pokemon is like people doing the wave in an arena....we just got through the alt art wave....we have yet to see what's next but something is going to boom and that will be the wave until it fizzles.
Dude i know this feeling and i understand. Happy for you to come to this decision and it should make you better prepared for collecting in the future also! Hope you crush buddy
Hoping your cards do well in auction and your decision leads to greater financial security and prosperity for you and your family. Cheers to new beginnings! Maybe we will get a new Rocket's Zapdos next year in the Rocket set
@dagreenshiz Trust me I get it man. Same decision i made back in 2021. I miss my stuff but never regretted it for a day and I don't think you will either. You are not selling out of fear or anything. You actually have something to use the money for to better your life which is always the right decision.
I love the content but, I have to respectfully disagree. if I’m hearing correctly you are moving your high end vintage because it’s going the opposite direction in terms of value. Yes, from when you bought them based on the prices I would assume between 21’-22’ there was a massive spike in prices a with all collectibles and now a lot of those prices have come back down to earth but are still higher than pre pandemic prices. Vintage high end is like the S&P500 you’re going to see slow gradual growth from here on out but will be a safe bet. Buying booster boxes of any set will always increase in value once they stop printing but, IMO it’s nowhere near as much fun/interesting. It depends on what you’re collecting for? Just as an investment then get BB’s but for me I have been loading up on vintage high end now because we are past the “COVID craze” and I trust the slow, gradual pricing increase and displayability the vintage cards give me
Sad to hear such a good collection sell. The hobby will always be here bro. If anything we can hope that the Pokemon TCG pocket will get some sick zapdos cards 😭
Much respect to you. I know what it’s like to have to let some banger stuff go to take care of personal life stuff. It’s not easy but the right thing to do.
Also the artwork of the modern Zapdos cards is so much better than the vintage. And you will definitely gain more value on the sealed over time, good move in my opinion.
Dude selling off all his good cards so he collect diglett smh
Big Brain
Diglett is fire to be fair.
I think some of them will be up over time and do fairly well but when factoring opportunity cost and the weight off your shoulders in day to day life this is the best decision. It was for me at least. Debt free is the way to be.
Forsure, been listening to a lot of Dave Ramsey lol. Debt free sounds so insane to be honest but so reachable
End of an era 😢
Restructuring has occured
buy high, sell low!
Yessir!
Pillars selling off their collections? Hobby is toast.
Ehhhhhh idk man I think it's a hell of a time! And idk if I'd consider myself a pillar lol but I appreciate you!

@@JediMasterT I was just kidding. The hobby is very strong.

Lmao nice analogy!
Big love homie. Life changes. Proud of you
Cheers brotha ❤️

Was a tough one man!
NostalgiaNomics was right vintage is dead. Jokes aside always a great idea to try and get debt free. You’ll sleep 100x better knowing it
Damn right
Fake collector! Jk good luck man
☠️
Man ive been paying student loans for 12 years already and still going. I feel your pain. Best of luck
Yeah shits a bag
Absolutely crushing it. Improving your family’s financial life
Cheers man thanks for watching Mertz!
Hoping your cards do well in auction and your decision leads to greater financial security and prosperity for you and your family. Cheers to new beginnings! Maybe we will get a new Rocket's Zapdos next year in the Rocket set
Dude, that would be sick if we got a new rockets zapdos! Appreciate the kind words!
Best line of the video "It didnt make sense to sell moderm sealed and hold vintage slabs". Definitely made the right decision brother!
This was an extremely tough decision man
@dagreenshiz Trust me I get it man. Same decision i made back in 2021. I miss my stuff but never regretted it for a day and I don't think you will either. You are not selling out of fear or anything.

Pour one out for the homie 🍻 not always the greatest feeling emotionally but sometimes logic and life priorities win
This has been a tough choice forsure.
The look says "the wife is making me". Haha
Truth of the matter she doesn't even know 😉
Definitely an Enf of an Era
❤️
The video is deep
Cheers man
I like the move to get out of debt! Nothing says you can't chase it all once again while being debt free!
Amen brotha
Let's goooooooo 🚀
Lol
This Sunday’s live is gonna be historic
I would guess the Zapdos Cards auction will be ending in 2-3 weeks possibly.
Best of luck with the auctions buddy ❤ Itll be fun to watch!
Thanks man!
You’re what 😱
🫣
Do u wish you would’ve never collected in the first place , was the debt there when you started buying pokemon ?
No because I would of likely spent it on some random BS or house things we didn't really need and now at least it's here for me to sell!
@@dagreenshiz makes sense ! Hope it all works out for u !
vintage is dead, thank god, Modern is KING BABY LETS GOOOOOO
Lmao cheers man

I like the faster gains of the booster boxes at this moment
Makin moves 🔥 they will still be there in a couple years when you’re ready to pick them back up again
Aspire to be like you big derg
Sad to hear such a good collection sell. The hobby will always be here bro. If anything we can hope that the Pokemon TCG pocket will get some sick zapdos cards 😭
One of the toughest decisions I've ever made tbh
Aye grades lower than 10 are an option ;) best of luck with your goals!~ hope cards sell well for ya; in the same boat with my yugioh collection.
Yeah one day maybe still expensive as hell for the big cards
Much respect to you. I know what it’s like to have to let some banger stuff go to take care of personal life stuff. It’s not easy but the right thing to do.
Thanks man
Priorities change, mind over matter, how it makes you feel and what makes sense is what matters! Debt free baby ❤
Yessir get that bread
Smart keeping your priorities straight. Be sure you’ve thought it through though, no other jobs or methods to make money?
Nah I'm already working as much as I can.
can't wait to see shiz cries on stream
jk best of luck this sounds like the right move for both of you!
Lmfaooo
Everyone is listening to nostalgia nomics 🤣🤣🤣
Haven't seen a video where Alex tells people to sell Pokémon to pay off student loans will have to look!
Oh my
Yeah. About sums it up.
Curious ! Why not start a Zapdos PSA 9 collection instead ! Much cheaper, and realistically the same card.
Still some super expensive cards tbh
Good for you Greeny. Hope the auctions crush 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks brotha! When's your next live stream?
@@dagreenshiz My next whatnot stream is Sunday at 7PM EST. And then I have an episode of “It’s Beer O’Clock” with PokeDNA on Monday at 9PM EST
That's dope!!! Miss DNA!
When the bills come due, all collectors can relate.
Yup!!
Also the artwork of the modern Zapdos cards is so much better than the vintage. And you will definitely gain more value on the sealed over time, good move in my opinion.
Hey Barn hope you and the family are doing well! Thanks!
🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Much love man!
@@dagreenshiz sad to see when PC is sold but happy when it’s for reasons/wants like that! Proud of that one! 🤌
Dont sell them bro, they're electric
Lmao niiice
