Probably wouldn't hurt to hang onto it, I believe it was the first print that came out in a booster pack in Japan and that's why it has "replica" written somewhere on it. The original championship card gives collector's a boner which is probably what hurts it's value in the first place. In english the first print came out in a booster pack so that's why a good condition 1st goes for hundreds if not thousands.

Funny fact is that since mid march(boring market) I myself have been at it to complete my 3 first sets with good first edition cards because these fuckers are only going up.
Props to the guys who have the balls to buy entire unopened Booster boxes,you are going to make a killing on those.
Hell,I'll probably be one of those idiots who buys a pre-weighed booster pack of you for too much money.

It depends what kind of person you are, in all honesty.
Some of these guys have a real passion for it, which I respect thoroughly regardless how autistic it may seem on the surface. After all, it is just cards, or paper, but so are many other things.

The ones who have been collecting for years and are still passionate, I don't care how autistic they are or whatever, they're great.

Does anyone think the MTG investment market might experience a crash or bubble popping? It seems like the price of eternal staples are just going up and up in a scary manner.

I'm reminded of the comic book crash in the 90's when investors turned to comics as a collectible investment, buying out comic stores left and right and sitting on them as guaranteed returns. They did this until the actual audience for the comics were priced out of it and eventually stopped caring. Does anyone think MTG cards might experience a similar sentiment where people just stop caring about MTG because it's too expensive then card prices crash? Not wishful thinking, I have the decks I want, but I feel that things are unhealthy right now.

it commands that price because of it's very powerful ability and almost every pokemon deck benefits from including it even if they don't use psychic energy. Nearly every deck that considers itself "competitive" is expected to include 2-3 of them to help with consistency.
