day 352 of growing my charizard collection till it hits $1milwould do you think of Ascended Heroes, flop or gigainvestible?
Some joker is listing a single 151 UPC for $450 plus $200 shipping. With that being said my price target is where Celebrations UPC’s are now ($1000 a box)
>>61851085sold my only 151 upc for $400 six months ago rip
>>61851061How many zards do you have and what is your total price paid?
>>618516533000 zards so far, $50k probs
why am i such a retard why do i rip sealed product why am i such an idiot gambler i'm down $3500 this month just fucking give me good cards pleaseeeeeee
Thinking about going all in on Prismatic sealedMaybe some destined rivals, surging sparks, and paldea evolvedGonna research one piece aswellWhat do you guys think is the most sure/safe investment to get a 2X over the next year or 2?
>>61853087prismatic booster bundles & etbs, also surging sparks booster boxes (as think they reprinted recently right so price is low?)
I want to do some degen gambling and by hundreds (thousands preferably) of a single Magic the gathering card.What cards would you guys suggest.
>>61853401one of the sonic or spiderman cards as they also have autistic fanbases
>>61853421I would like to evade Universes Beyond garbage, because i hate it with every fiber of my body.PREFERABLY i would like to dig in some older sets, when MTG was good, find some 25 cent rare and invest couple hundreds in buying it.Surely someone on /biz? actually plays MTG constructed or EDH and can share his wisdom about what card is terribly under priced in his opinion
>>61853401good plan anon i dont play MTG but wish you well on your hoarding journey
Think I'm going to sell these for a quick buck
>>61853401
>>61854113I showed this card to a huge LotR fan friend of mine and he thought it was a meme and looked ready to blow his brains out when I told him it was real
>>61854113Amazing mtg went from this to your pic in less than 30 years.
>>61854111nice did you pull them both?
>>61854259Yup, both natty pulls
>>61851929I've only bought/opened 1 booster box in my life and I got the best card. When I looked at the massive stack of bulk off to the side the sense of waste was unreal and that was the last time I ever did that even though I won.
>>61854870congrats, yeah trade it for some pokemon booster boxes
>>61853401Just do a competitive classic at least rare in value that people will always remember fondly. Liliana, tarmogoyf, titan, Thalia. People also love lands. Classic dual lands are almost always going to retain value. Personally, if it was me, I would collect Narcomoeba even though it’s uncommon because I love that card and I love dredge.
>>61855394what is there to love about this card it looks like a semen kek
>>61856736If semen isn’t your thing there are other variants.
>>61856806nice
>>61851061what about counterfeit cards do they come close to the real one?
>>61851085>Celebrations UPC’s are now ($1000 a box)Holy shit, I have one sealed in my house that I picked up years ago, no idea they were worth that much
>>61857231nah dont think counterfeits are close ever (but that could be a genuine risk in future who knows)
>>61857574so you only have charizard cards not stock or crypto ?
>>61857579no this is my side hobby, still have decent amount of crypto & some stonks
>>61857579I may get on of those chorizo card just for the fun of it, where can I look for the best one ?
>>61857944depends what you're after, you could go for iconic vintage ones (base set or dark charizard) or if you're after modern grails just go for the new Mega Charizard SIR, but if you want investment zards the best is probably budget arts like lost origin zard or promos from upc (getting price now tho, already gone up 5x) latest mega zard promo could be good if it goes below $30
>>61858765tag teams good too, also christmas zard (from radiant collection)
What are you guys thinking on Riftbound sealed? New set has quite a few waifu cards that I think could have some longevity, considering league has been around a while I think it has good staying potential too. Obviously more risky than pokemon but I picked up some booster boxes for speculation
>>61860928risky as its new like you say, but yeah much like early One Piece it could pay off..wouldnt invest more than you can sit around for afew years doing nothing
>>61851929>>61855029The only packs worth opening(gambling) are Bowman Chrome baseball. Pokemon is a total waste of time opening packs, the hit rates are absurd. Need to spend 1,000$ in packs to get a 100$ hit, not worth it
>>61851061where should i buy booster boxes ? i looked on amazon and there are reviews talking about opend packs.
>>61860964>where should i buy booster boxesFind out when your local Targets and Walmart restock and get in line. I usually wait 1-3 hours in line during restock
>>61860968>1-3 hoursjesus christ
>>61860977It's not that bad, there usually funny nerds in line to chat with, it's actually a decent time. Heads up, This upcoming Friday is the release of Ascended Heroes ETB in stores, there will be a huge demand and line for them so you want to get in early. At Target you want to be there 4-5am for a 3 hour wait. Best Buy is also really great for release days but they open at 10am and you want to be there around 6am so 4 hour wait, but Best Buy is worth it since they always have shit ready on release days, some Target/walmarts get shady on release day
>>61860986i live in austria m8i don't think it's possible to buy english cards here I'm researching how the market is for german cards
>>61860992>i live in austria m8In that case you would be better off visiting New Jersey once a year for 2 weeks and hit up a dozen pokemon trade shows, you buy single cards direct for cheap, Europe is not good for pokemon, it is the capital of fake cards and shady deals
>>61860968Retail stores don’t sell booster boxes they sell bundles, specialty items and single sleeved packs. But yeah don’t bother because it’s either teams of unemployed fags running teams clearing out restocks or random Chinese people emptying out vending machines
>>61861038>Retail stores don’t sell booster boxesyeh not the big ones, I figured the noob meant ETB's, bundles and Collector boxes. Also doesn't require to much effort. There is one Target by me that restocks every Monday morning, doors open at 8am and I arrive 7am on line, so only 1 hour wait.
>>61861043theres people there every monday at 7am kek?
>>61860958I've been ripping Chrome basketball, Midnight basketball, and chrome marvel studios. I know baseball cards like roman anthony, ohtani, judge, etc. all have value but for me if I don't enjoy the sport/IP I won't bother ripping boxes of it
I have been tempted to buy some charizads a few timesThing is, I don't really like cards anymore nor is Charizard even close to being one of my favorites, so Id hate myself if I ended up holding the bag
>>61861298charizard never go down longterm but if you dont like him guess not much point collecting himmaybe consider pokemon sealed product, less fun but no risk
>>61861255>theres people there every monday at 7am kek?fuck yeh, I'm taking a small break right now but I'll be back there in a few weeks. >>61861264It's my personal bias but I just think Bowman Chrome is the best cards on Earth, sports/pokemon/one piece/etc, it has that tradition and quality. I popped a 10,000$+ card few weeks ago, no bullshit, luckiest pull of my life, It just affirmed my conviction to Bowman Chrome
>>61861313>charizard never go down longtermThat's what makes them interesting, but they are just not my thing>sealed>no risklol, lmao evenHow well does base set hold up though? Specifically slabbed with decent scores? Is it comparable to the reserve list?
Cause I have no idea how pokemon collector market actually functions, a decent amount kinda seems to be people just buying all 50 variants of their favorite one
>>61861314I will say bowman chrome is probably the closest sports cards can get to being stocks, if your sports knowledge is really good it's probably a great set to go after. I can understand that because haven't bowman sets been around since the 50's
>>61851061REMINDER: If you don't own the cards to actually play the game, you're a massive gigafaggot.
