nice now what? do you jsut look at it and hope in 20 years when no one has heard of Pokemon that someone would want it?

>>62748104
Pokemon came out in the 90s and even now everyone has still heard of Pokemon, the younger gens too, which have produced their own Pokemon fans.

Contrats bro. That is a legit solid buy right there.
load up on some early Japanese too I keep telling people about these cards and they starting to get noticed.

All the capital entering the card market has a vested interest in keeping the greater fool economy alive

Younger generations don't have the same sort of "spiritual connection" to Pokemon that we millennials had. It's just true.

Does that mean they necessarily won't want to buy up a bunch of Pokemon cards 20 years from now? I don't know

Yes pokey man cards tethers you to this world. For some, it's like a grounding ritual to look at them especially if you think they're living in the same real of imaginary worth to others as well.
It's like the concept of diamond hands just with cute non-existent pocket monsters in all kinds of imagined forms and colors.
Escapism is in hot demand when western culture is undermined by the financial overlords on every metric.
Soon dangerous hoarding of valuables is going to get banned for your own safety as well. Such as pokey man cards.

As a 40 something year old who has been collecting shit since he's 5 with the intention of "these will be worth millions some day", I have actually finally figured it out. When I was a kid, I was collecting comic books and sports cards and shit, because those were the things at that time which had proven to accrue insane value. Comic books my dad read as a kid were worth in many cases $50,000 to millions each.

Fast forward 40 years and my most valuable comic is only worth $2k in mint condition, and the next most valuable is worth maybe $100. Why?

Pokemon helped me answer this question.

Why did Pokemon all of a sudden take off re: collectibles?

Because all the then-kids who were into Pokemon are now-adults with kids who have a "first generation" connection with it, and now they have MONEY to do something about that connection.

Did I COLLECT comic books of the marvel/DC universe? Yes. Did I think comic book characters were extremely cool? Yes. But they weren't creations of my generation. And so now that I can afford a $50k+ comic book, I don't care to have one.

Kids now are into Pokemon, sure. They'll collect the cards, sure. When they're in their 40's-50's, though, they will not give a fuck about Pokemon, and the people who do will be literally a dying breed, despite the probably 500 Pokemon movies that will come out for kids of all ages during this period.

If you want to make real money collecting, find the thing that kids today have to call their own. What's the IP of the current generation of like 5-15 year olds that is WHOLLY theirs? That is what, in 25-35 years, will go from something you pay a few dollars for today to millions for then.

Does anyone have any advice on selling their entire collection IN PERSON? I have entire sets from base - neo and I have no idea how to sell it in person. I know if I go to a card shop they'll offer me pennies on the dollar.

Do I go to a card show and see what people are offering there? I don't want to drag it around because even listing every single card at moderately played to be conservative, the tcgplayer totals were coming up to over 5k ungraded, so trying to sell to one dealer would just get me screwed since no one would carry that kind of cash.

>since no one would carry that kind of cash
most vendors at card shows do carry that kind of cash. they will try to lowball the shit out of you if they're moderately played and they can tell you're a noob. vintage is selling for a premium right now and you will have no issue finding a buyer. use ebay comps
