>>24332315
Thats not even a shadowless 1st edition

ngmi

>>24332337

Shut the fuck up mate.

>>24332315
don't know man, when jake paul made a video about pokemon cards i thought it was the peak of the normie bubble but since then everything went up another 100% or so because even more normies joined him, this shit always goes on for longer than i think it would but jesus anyone buying right now is braindead

Don't get meme'd. Just like magic and YGO, there's no actual market. A very small handful of rich millennial collectors drive the entire thing. There's a glut of graded cards that no one is buying. Los of people have been burned trying to buy and flip cards.

>>24332484
>>24332494

I know. don't worry.
It's like nobody remembers Pokemon Go. and this shit is a fucking beany baby. It's not even BTC meme beany babies, its legit beanie babies.

They have slightly more value, but the delusion on their value is insane right now.
I read some cuck paid 80K for a charizard. So many onions bois are gonna lose so much money from this soon.

>>24332337
until the people who grew up with it are getting old and stop caring about a meme card. sure

in 50 to 100 years this will be worth nothing

>>24332555
It's just like NES games. People thought there was a huge market for the rare games and it came out that literally one rich guy was buying all the copies of certain games. One person was driving the entire market. It's going to completely crash when his collection inevitably gets dumped back in in the future.

>>24332315
Dear zoomer, just like real estate it never will, this card is the millenials version of expensive whiskey

>>24332688

Would YOU buy it for $80K?
that should answer your question.

This is a conversation for grown ups, not children. fuck off.

>>24332315

I have an original 150 from the first year they came out at my parents place...

>>24332730
They're probably worth like $1-5 a piece, if that.

The only ones worth anything more are 1st editions

>>24332723
I dont play pokermans but i also am not extremely tempted to sell my cards yet. Theyve done well so far why not hold

>>24332337
>are legit worth a lot of money.
no they aren't
it's printed ink on cardboard

>>24332315
It wont, single cards might correct and drop a bit in value but sealed product will keep climbing.

>>24332396
Seethe, nocarder. You're so ignorant and stupid you don't even know to post a picture of a 1st edition zard. Look up comic books if you want to see how high this will go. Pokemon cards are to millennials what comics are to boomers. Add to that quantitative easing and hyperinflation and each one of my zards will unironically be worth tens of millions in a few short years. Cap this and cope faggot.

>>24332824
Yes, when hyperinflation comes around, people will be trading you their last remaining resources that they need to keep themselves alive for your fucking cardboard.
You retards posting about cards have to be children, none of you are older than 18. Total fucking retards.

>>24332809
Kek, they are worth quite a bit of money, its the BTC of trading cards, there's only so many of them made, and although it can be replicated very easily, there's only so many that will ever be minted, er I mean printed.

>>24332796

You just answered the fucking question then.
You would NEVER pay anything close to that.
The only reason you think they are worth it is because you might make some money.

>>24332883
>and although it can be replicated very easily, there's only so many that will ever be minted, er I mean printed.

>>24332874
Fucking idiot

>>24332905
Uh no. What i said is i already have cards and im not selling unless its what i want for it which im not confirming is that price and obviously im not buying more when i still have my cards to sort and price

>>24332883


>beanie babies
Don't ever compare it to BTC again, or any financial instrument. I said no Children in this thread.

>>24332973
Woah dont even go near talking about daddy Bitcoin! Pokermam and bittycorns Are NOT the sameo palo

>>24332912

I have a fucking charizard you retard. I don't think its worth 80K even for a first edition. I could see them being worth maybe a few hundred bucks consistently one day, but people are fucking deluded if they think more than that. Do you have any idea how many millions of charizards exist?

Not to mention, these cards can actually be fucking forged. You know how easy it's gonna be for chinks to invest millions into forging them if they are worth as much as yo usay they will be?

That can't be done for BTC or stocks or gold etc. Even comic books are more difficult to forge. forging pokemon cards to exact quality will be the easiest fucking thing for chinks ever.

>>24332973
>internet funny money
Don't talk to me or my son ever again

>>24332668
This goes both ways. Smart money has already accumulated years ago. Think like 10-30% of the total supply of specific cards in the hands of one person. And we are talking of something that is beloved by millions of simps and only has 500 mint condition copies left in existence. You are all priced out forever. The beauty of it is smart millennials like me have our price targets set. If the price ever dips below what I paid, I will just buy 10 more to reinflate the entire market. You will never see these crash. It is a ponzi that could be held up by one person, but is held up by an entire generation and sustained by the unlimited power of nostalgia. Zoomers cope and seeth.

>>24332998
>Reeeee I have a charizard!!!
No children in this thread faggot

Soon as i realised what cucks were paying i dumped all my old cards, and the charizard is on sale now. fucking laughing at the fact i made almost $8000 dollars form pieces of cardboard, and some smug fucking fat manchild bought it.

>>24332315
Well obviously lol, I think some cards will always have a value just because they're timeless and such a large part of an entire generation's childhood. But that list is small, and the most likely reasonable value is so much lower than it is right now. Shit like gen 1 charizards in good condition will never go to $0, but gl getting tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars for it, lol. Like, just look at how many people are watching those auctions in pic related. You would think that's a good thing and just means high demand, but it actually just means the auction has been listed for a while and isn't selling/attracts a lot of lookie-loos

>>24333119
You're replying to a bait thread, OP is a huge faggot, asks when pokemon cards will crash after he sold all of his, so he's clearly sperging out because he sold low and needs to vent.

Influencer pump and dump.
I used it as an opportunity to sell all my old trash and love seeing how much it died down over the past week, it went from everyone buying everything I put up for sale to no one buying even if I reduced the price.

>>24333027
>if I catch the entire falling knife I become a billionaire
Wow, one simple trick.
Jews hate him.

>>24333160
Idc, it's still investing and still provides a fairly valuable thought experiment at the very least. And if that's the case, then op is an excellent case study on the effects of buyers/sellers remorse and fomo

>>24332315
Yet another FUD thread from no-carders that missed out. Sorry but you literally had 25 years to accumulate.

>>24332874
Rent free. The only reason you started this thread is because you are priced out of your own childhood and seething about it. Reflect on this and now you know why prices keep going higher and higher. Just forget about Pokemon and walk away. Oh wait, you can't.

>>24333178
Already dumped and common cards are still up 1000% compared to last year while the actually scarce cards (trophies/rare promos) keep on rising or are locked away in collections and are therefore unavailable. Look forward to seeing the threads in a year claiming it’s still a bubble when 1st Ed base zard is $1mil.

>>24332778

Wouldn’t they be first edition if they came out the first year?

>>24333273

Sure honey, whatever you say.

>>24333160

It's already plummeting apparently kek. What are you talking about.
Just hope the final card sells well. It has bids. all Profit anyway, just want to sell these fucking toys while idiots are still overpaying.

>>24333273
you ar fucking retarded. once millenials are old no one wants your pokemon cards anymore. fucking idiot.

>>24333400
Except for the zoomed who make up more of the market than millennials. And the literal children that are buying the current games and breaking sales records yearly. Retard.

>>24333286
Nope, 1st edition is just the very first run of printed cards. Not the first year, just the first printing. I don't know how many tens of millions of cards were printed in 1999, but 1st editions there are only thousands of them.

>>24333431
Zoomers*

>>24332315
I don't know, but I still have my original charizard in my fireproof safe. Just took a peak at it and it's shadowless, but not first edition. Kept in plastic sleeve.

>>24333488
>not first edition
Worth about $5 dude.

>>24333553
I bet if I took it to a hipster bar down town I could get $100 for it.

>>24332337
This^. Pokemon cards are a store of value, and will only go up because of scarcity. There are significantly fewer Base Set Holo Charizards in existence than Bitcoins.

>>24332809
so is the us dollar

>>24332636
pokemon is HUGE. it's not just going to die out in a half century.

>>24332998
No you don't you salty no-carder. I'll be rich soon and your wife will be begging me for half a Bulbasaur for anal.

>>24333553
Non-first ed Shadowless Charizard in mint condition (PSA 9) went for over $9k the other day

>>24334689
It will be another dead fad soon enough.

>>24334999
FUD

>>24332315
this stuff will appreciate until people born 1990-1995 hit the peak wealth zone then it will drop off

I bought a Replica Louis Vuttion bag the other day from China for a project I'm working on (work related) and the bag is going to be destroyed afterwards. My girlfriend has the real equivalent she purchased from LV about a year ago. Shockingly this is the best fake I have ever come across in my life. Every detail is exactly the same 1:1 and the bag even passes the serial tag check. In the last year or two the Chinese have PERFECTED the art of counterfeiting. I've seen counterfeit Chinese watches with genuine Swiss movements replicated one for one.

In the next year or two I am almost certain the Chinese mafias are going to move into perfecting the art of forging Pokemon cards and believe me they are going to get it right. Soon the western markets are going to be flooded with 1st edition Charazard's and all your pokemon cards are going to be worthless.

The Chinese are going to kill your Pokemon cards

>>24332998
>That can't be done for BTC or stocks or gold etc
well it is possible to make fake gold (take a gold bar and fill the inside with tungston)
but yeah faking cards is going to be pretty easy for them

The state of pokemon cards nowadays is really pathetic. I miss the days of trading them at school.
Adults attaching prices on to them and buying them as investments is depressing

>>24332809
>BTC is worth so much money
no its not
its computer code you see on a screen

>>24332315
Am I gonna be rich? just went through my pile of old cards. No 1st editions though, lots of promo cards too. Most of those are holo. Then I have a pile of the more common rates. Also have badass DBZ cards and Magic :p Beta and Alpha lands + other stuff like , WOGs, COAs, etc Havent played in years

>>24336508
No

>>24336303
No it's not, it's funny, a decent number of people are going to get fucking rekt with this shit.

>>24336508
More

>>24336554
Guess ill just have to sell my kidneys :(

Lol it's already crashing you brainlets. Or at least correcting. Logan Paul and CollectiblesGuru pumped and dumped the market. Last month psa 8 base unlimited zards were selling for 5k+ and now they're at 1500 - 2k. Unlimited cards aren't actually rare and the grading companies are all backed up 6 months to a year because every 30 year old boomer has a binder full of them and is sending it all.

I'm still bullish on 1st editions long-term. Even non-10 first edition prices are down 30-50% from the highs, so it's a good buying opportunity if you have strong hands and you have the money to buy the good shit.

>>24336993
I meant psa 9 unlimited charizard, but the point stands.

Not rich obviously but can sell these and put it into something better like alts. How do they look? This picture is potato quality so cant really see the grade they could get.

>>24336508

My bad I meant to @ you
>>24337209

>>24336691
That first edition jolteon is worth grading if it looks good

It's all about the official grade of the card. Any chucklefuck can say it's mint condition but when taken to an official grading company it gets lots of points knocked off for various conditions under a scope.

>>24336993
>every 30 year old boomer has a binder full of them
You've just described me exactly

I have literally tens of thousands of these things because I was really into collecting them as a kid and then basically forgot about them for a couple decades

Countless, countless holos

Quite a few 1st edition too, but none are graded or anything

Don't really wanna sell though, I like em
