    That’s always the challenge isn’t it, separating the investment from the collector in everyone participating in this hobby.
    Personally I’m a fan of a lot of characters especially with the design and artwork since S&V began; but I’ll hold off on picking up the singles until 3/6 months post release date, that’s when I’ve noticed the prices are more reasonable.

    Its important to understand that selling singles is profitable, but not an investment.
    Singles are for company's who are on the day to day grind at scale.
    Long term don't buy singles unless you are targeting a specific genre of cards at a specific moment in the market.
    For example, Temporal/Paradox IR's right now are a mid to long term buy based on copy's that come to market vs customer demand.

    I mean you’re right for the most part, but also lots of flawed reasoning as well.
    1. Long long term yes, singles won’t keep up, but look at the point in which PC runs out. Look at sword and shield singles with PC ran out. All of the top cards doubled. More ROI than most of their boxes.
    2. You talk about magikarp and greninja; both of which are IN PRINT cards. How about IN PRINT boxes currently? PE Boxes are dropping. And it’s because there are new stocks. I notice you didn’t talk about the 151 chases which, like the charizard, have a much better ROI currently.
    3. I agree with vintage, but why not also look at the box prices since the 2020 boom?
    Generally, you are correct, and I agree because increasing supply of cards and decreasing supply of boxes. But I think this is the one time I felt you were either picking bad data points or purposefully not showing similar sealed data points.

    Genuine Question: Why would the sealed product keep or even increase in value if the "underlying asset"-the singles-collectively loses value?
    I grant, there is a premium on the sealed box being a collectable by itself and the fun/commercial potential of opening a sealed product.
    But the value of the sealed product can't be completely detached from the single.
    The box is the chance for a given set of singles.
    To adress whats usually the first point: Yes, the supply of sealed product decreases, while the supply of Cards does not (or at a slower rate).
    But there is also a much bigger supply for any given card, while Id argue, the demand for the unopend box itself is pretty limited. They are only thought after, because people belive somebody will pay a premium to open one at some point. For the experience of it, sure, but primarly for the cards.

    • @luisalmeida3550
      @luisalmeida3550 5 часов назад

      if people keep opening sealed product they are lowering its the supply, thus increasing their price. At the same time, by opening sealed product they are increasing the supply of the singles, thus lowering their price

    • @NostalgiaNomics
      @NostalgiaNomics  5 часов назад

      Sealed boxes become the collectible and the scarcity of that collectible is what rises the price. It becomes detached from the singles.
      I do not own a team up box becuaxe I hope there is a latias latios or a gengar mimikyu inside nor do I card what those are worth. I own the team up box becuase that itself is the collectible. This is the biggest hurdle singles collectors don't understand.

    • @pizi305
      @pizi305 Час назад

      ​ @NostalgiaNomics Thanks for your replay and videos in general, much appreciated. I'd say the reverse supply aspect is sound and in fact, sealed products have risen in price in the long run, so at the moment you are right.
      "I own the team-up box because that itself is collectable."
      As of now, that's a sound hypothesis and there is a mark just for sealed product. But it's not evident to me, that in the long run, people will be emotionally more invested in the sealed product than specific cards. And that singles and sealed will detach so easily. I'd assume the box prices are increasing because people still believe, that some cards will be worth something in the future and buying those packs/boxes will open the chance to pull one of those valuable cards. For modern cards, the supply is quite big, but everything but the last maybe 10 years, I'm not so sure the single supply, especially good/mint quality is so huge.
      We will see in 5 to 10 years;-)

      @NostalgiaNomics  6 часов назад +2

      Completely false. Darkness ablaze Charizard is $80 in a PSA 10 and the box goes for $155 and there are countless examples of this. Sealed boxes become the collectible and are removed form the singles value.
