day 293 of growing my charizard collection till it hits $1milMega Evolutions is live have you bought any, good investment?
>>61041450Assuming you have a PSA 10 1st edition base set Charizard (or multiple) you would be pretty close to making ir at least well on your way. Im jelly
>>61041554PSA 10 1st edition base set Charizard would prob fetch $400k in this hot market (so no unfortunately i dont have any yet)
>>61041572Damn that sucks, oh well best of luck with getting your goal. charizard is the only Pokemon that matters (especially in TCG collecting) so youve got the right idea.
>>61041450Any money on one piece cards?
got this as a graded 10
Woah it’s been a minute. Just checked eBay sold listings for Ooyamas pikachu. LOL LMAO.
>>61041597appreciate the support
>>61041450
I just want a set of the first 151. don't care about PSA nonsense. want fair condition so I can frame it all for my study. actually annoyingly hard to find. ugh
>>61041450do you collect outside of charizard? what do you buy? upcs, booster boxes or just individual set chase cards? Ive been coming to your thread since the inception, i took a break with wagecage duties, i stopped following after the release of rocket set, i feel so behind/overwhelmed -if not given up buying.how do you do it?
Bought two booster bundles the other day gamestop.On a side note, I think biz should corner the market by buying up a certain card, my vote is Tulip Mania
Oh look the virgin general again
impressive dedication
>>61044123singles i collect zards only but i do collect sealed stuff too (which helps pay for some zards)>pc etbs are best>booster bundles & boxes>upcs with solid promos>regular etbsthats what you wanna focus on, mainly the in demand sets (151/prismatic/destined rivals etc) as they'll climb faster but all sealed goes up once out of print
I will be buying the mega zard UPC as a sealed investment
>>61045276based good choice, im gonna get as many as i can find
>>61045641why cant you settle on 1 UPC? youre depriving children of access to the product
>>61041450Consider diversifying into Barbie Fashion Trading Cards.
>>61047301kek theres no market for those
I found of a bunch of paradox Rift for MSRP £4Is it even worth it for such an ebola set?Like you can still find Vivid Voltage for £5 on ebay 5 years later. I dont want to be stuck with a set like thatIs my money better spent buying a more expensive set like Surging Sparks for £7 per pack or somethnig
i am excited for phantasmal flames. managed to preorder everything possible through pokemoncenter
Fags lol
>>61049074can you address this >>61047109 now?
>>61051322paradox is better than vivid voltage (paradox has groundon etc.) but you're right the higher returns are in higher demand sets but i'd agree MSRP paradox is gonna beat non-MSRP DR etc.
>>61051982children arnt gonna buy a $120 upc lol (and any i dont buy will be scalped by others anyway)
>>61052407>>61051982but no i was exaggerating anyway i only have 2 but i want more
What's going to give the best percentage returns from this point on?With sword and shield it was easy and obvious, just buy evolving skiesBut this generation has 3 special sets people like and have already increased in value a lotAnd there is no clear winner of the regular sets yet with quit a few increasing in value a bit
>>61051900Still more real than crypto
>>61041450Some alpha cards came in today.
>>61053415>best percentage returnspc etbs are highest tho impossible to get 2+ at MSRP, after that is booster boxes/bundlesagain the demand sets aint MSRP so you really arnt gonna get the best % return on $400 destined rivals (unfortunately)but destined rivals is clearly the best regular set in S&V, but its gonna be hard printed for next 2 years. paldea evolved & surging are next.151 and prismatic (and paldean fates) will all continue to go up nicely, but again feels bad paying 3+ times MSRP but long term doesnt matter as much, so theres no real answer but you wanna pick the most in demand set at closest to MSRP as you can find
>>61053571worth noting 3 pack blisters can get "close" to best returns (see umbreon ES blister) so since those are much easier to find nearer MSRP atm (destined rivals or previously zapdos surging sparks) those could be a solid shout for best returns % wise
>>61053584but the key thing to look for here is best promo (another example would be the zard paldean fate tins) so standout products just go hard on them at release before they spike
>>61053569Well i fucked that one up. There’s a few more but im not posting multiple sideways pics
>>61053569are alpha lands worth alot or just playable?
>>61053584>3 pack blisters thats a good tip, they seem to go up more than other things
>>61053617That one in the pic is worth around $100 in lightly played condition. I got a couple of commons and some uncommons. The rares are worth a lot more. Even the shitty ones fetch over $1k usually
>>61053622yeah i like the 1 or 3 pack blisters, easier to ship and store (plus i'd argue more liquid since you run out of buyers past $5k booster boxes)
Started collecting in January. I have about 30 or so slabs. These have to be the best ones I own. I also have an "Arceus VSTAR illustration rare" on the way
>>61054554nice they mislabeled that 5 as a 9
>>61054596Lmfao. Yes. I wanted to impress you guys. Microsoft paint. That one is a the dud. But the rest are legit
Fags hahahaahah
>>61041450You should quit while you’re ahead. I made about $50k from crypto in 2021 and rotated most of it into cards. WORST financial decision ever. I just finished selling the last of them and now I’m nearly broke again. I could’ve had like 6 BTC and held them all instead of this shit. They’re cool and shiny and all but it’s not worth it lmao. Such a pain in the ass to get liquid.
>>61055330>Such a pain in the ass to get liquid.have been wondering about this. what is the actual market??? from what i can see it people buying up mint boxes and sitting on them. it all reeks of baseball cards and gambling
>>61055330>I just finished selling the last of them and now I’m nearly broke againbut all cards are up? unless you bought like digimon or some shit tcg
