What are you buying these days? TCGs and collectibles have been on the decline, generally, since covid mania in 2021. I've been looking to scoop more vintage WOTC Pokemon slabs and sealed product and have been buying Metazoo too.

The only thing surprisingly of any value for vintage cards are actually small unique sets. Vintage cards despite being really old are still so plentiful and most of them are still worthless under $20 garbage. Including cards in the base set.

1st Editions
Gold Stars
Shining Rares

Shadowless has some value but still diminishing. Error cards are 100% memes.

Same advice as always, invest in waifu cards.

I started doing this in 2021 and almost all of them outperformed my crypto portfolio. That Erika’s you posted, I bought it for like $50 in 2021 and it’s 6xd lmao. Alt art Sun and Moon tag teams also mooned and I was buying those too. My advice is stock up on a few alt arts now that are currently cheap to resell in the winter when they spike.

I'm buying modern commons singles.
Usually can get them for about 1-3 cents each, in 10 years they can be worth anywhere from 20-50 cent, which is a huge increase.

Prices have come down from where they were 2 summers ago. Still fetching solid prices, especially first edition base and jungle. Nice cards. Some look like good grades centering-wise. Dark Gyardos first edition and that Shining Mewtwo are very good chases. The neo-shinies in general are very hot right now.

The tag team cards have just gone crazy. I would be trying to pre-order 151 set if i were you, that set is definitely the next ES and is going to bonkers.

MTG is fun, used to play the game for years but sold my collection about 10 years ago. I don't enjoy collecting it the same way I do Pokemon, Metazoo, and Yuigioh.

i like yugioh cards but collecting it sucks

Yeah, I know lol Konami really caters to players and does collectors dirty by printing shit to oblivion. I enjoy the 'vintage' Yugioh, blue eyes set through Magic Ruler approximately.

Got these in 2013 from a facebook competition (by Artosis), only 10 pairs given. I have no idea how to make starcraft fans aware they exist.

Does anyone have an idea of where to even put these? I suppose they're only like 20$, cuz there's 0 demand, but would be funny to see if others would actually have interest in them

as it should be, the collectability should be from out of print cards or vintage cards, not shit that the company can just print infinitely and create artificial scarcity
