Hey /biz/... I posted this picture in 2018. The charizard there cost 120$. Today the same card has had a few auctions over the 1000$ threshold. The Japanese charizard was 40$ and now going 200$+ in auctions.

I've spent about 10,000$ alone in 2019 and my stack is worth well over 60,000$. Almost all cards doubled but some have more than 10x. Especially my Lugia and gold star rayquaza (not pictured)

Pokemon cards are mass produced so only cards in good condition and graded will go for more than a 100$. Unless ofcourse they're wotc 1st edition or low print cards.

It's true though. I was over 234,000$ profit during the bullrun and ended up getting out at 33,000$. I'd have been better off only doing BTC and holding, but all my altcoins still haven't recovered but they're what got me that much profit in the first place. I 15x on shit like bounty0x

yeah of course. it pained me a bit when I found all my old cards and looked up some of the prices they were going for.

Any advice on the collectibles game? Is there anything you see undervalued now that might have a good ROI in say, ten years?

>> No.20725583

Get it graded for like 15$

It's hard to say if it's worth it to sell now or not. I feel as if the cards are overpriced but people are happy paying the prices. If it's stimulus money driving the prices then they might retrace in the future.

Video games are popular with millenials/lategeny/zoomers. While it's already expensive I wouldn't be surprised to see sealed games like Pokemon Red hitting upper six digits.

Pokemon is still pulling in good money and a global franchise. Pokemon Go in 2019 made almost a billion dollars in revenue alone. The fact it was approved for a movie too (Detective Pikachu) shows that investors have faith in the brand.

Yugioh not so well. Some investors have been buying up staples though like Blue eyes white dragon and dark magician.

This is the most expensive card based on my research.
How stupid would it be to buy one and hold? (Maybe not that exact one necessarily if I can find it cheaper).

>> No.20725885

Depends on condition as well as print run. Are they 1st edition or unlimited?

Pokemon card investing is a bit different than other things as condition is what people pay for. Millions of these cards were printed so that's all we have. A perfect card "PSA 10" will usually go for 6-7x more than a pack fresh card "PSA 9". Most pack fresh cards don't get 10s because of printlines as well as centering of the picture relative to the card borders.

I have all the the sets from the very first base set too neo Genesis. All of them completed. After that I stopped collecting full collections of cards. They are probably all atleast 8 or 9s cause i would ask my uncle to sleeve them and put them into the folders as a kid. He ran a card shop so he gave me packs whenever he ran tournaments

It's best to stick with the first few releases as well as household names. I don't play Yugioh so I have no info on that card and people with nostalgia might not either. Other then that "trophy cards" which are cards that are given to tournament winners or through contests.

I'd say 20,000$ if majority of the holos can get a 9. But it would cost a couple thousand dollars to grade as bulk submissions cost 8$ a card and that's around 400 cards?

Based, I have Gold Star Metagross and Alakazam. Not graded but they still look pristine to me. Got them from a pack when I was like 8 and knew they were special so I put them immediately in card protectors.
