it's just the same anon who keeps reposting and reposting exact same photos of vintage cards he was posting for 3+ years.
I understand you have to do this otherwise the thread will sink and be deleted.

I think people just afraid to post their stuff because they posted it somewhere.

I personally don't have any other place where i post cards so...here is my card i guess - i'm very happy i got this Giratina.

(I also collect modern and this thread is filled with whiny vintagecucks (judging by their photos they all live either in their grandma's house or in the house of their childhood of the 80s) so why even bother taking good photos)

https://youtu.be/hxD4tasZaho

Yes.
1) costs as much as raw
2) protected
3) officially verified
I won't even touch a raw card that costs more than $400+ unless i pulled it by myself.

Modern cards won't hold value. It's supply and demand. Demand will probably go down at some point when the "next big thing" takes off - who know what and when, but something will come around eventually, and supply - well I don't think this many people have held (as opposed to opened) more product. Scarcity is important - and we don't have that. it also doesn't help that Pokemon have plans to build more huge factories so they can print more.
>>
>>59032674
>Modern cards won't hold value. It's supply and demand.
same with vintage
>>
>>59032676
No lol. Supply and demand determines the price of everything. Including you - you have value based on the skills you have and the demand for those skills, but supply and demand is different for everything. It's not the same level of supply for vintage. As was said in this video, not as many people hoarded, not as many people protected these assets because they didn't even know they would be assets, and even fewer kept sealed product because again - who knew how big it would be. Supply and Demand counts to everything but not in equal measures.
>>
>>59032679
Doens't matter.
Supply and Demand.
Kids in the future will give a shit about todays vintage. Modern is the new vintage, you have a heavy missthinking

The market won't be ruled by those who invest now forever. Generations comes and go. If there are generations who gives a fuck, it won't be in demand that much.

This happened like 100000000333 trilliarden times

In 20 years, a lot of those who invest now are pretty much dead or out of it. The new generation will give a massive shit on the vintage stuff bc they have 0 connection with it.

You clearly don't understand a single bit about this "market"
>>
>>59032683

>>
>>59032674
>>59032676
>>59032679
>>59032683
I think Pokemon will never be "not investable".

The point is that...for example i will be VERY HAPPY if the "bubble will burst". I will finally buy all kinds of cards that i want for cheap.
Because i actually want those cards.
And there are shit ton of people like me.
So...
wouldn't that make pokemon cards wanted again after the "bubble burst".
Because active buyout of cheap "worthless" pokemon cards will raise market prices again. And cards will naturally climb back.

Like for example If i see Silver Tempest Lugia for $50 i will sure buy two. And there will be many people like that.

Pokemon market can't die.

I don't know why people cope that overprinting the new sets won't lead to inflation. I also think that any serious future collector will give a shit about vintage just like people who collect anything like stamps for example respect the classics.

I still collect both, I just avoid opening nowadays cause it's such a damn waste of money. And if it's a lot cheaper in japanese (which especially modern is) I go for it. Pic not related I guess.

>I also think that any serious future collector will give a shit about vintage just like people who collect anything like stamps for example respect the classics.
From what i see - it's a mass vintagecuck cope.
i AM a modern card collector and a "newbie"
I dont care about vintage cards because they are ugly or boring.
20 years later stuff like Lost Origin or Silver Tempest will be vintage AND better looking.

Why you idiots keep bringing this stupid-ass "vintage VS modern" even now in 2026. Fucking cope.

Same.
I was always into Pokemon. I was grinding pokemon games and being autistic in /vp/ in the 2010s anyways.
AND i was collecting figures and other stuff all my life.

It just blows my mind...why i never saw any collectors thread. Or any cards advertisement. if i knew how cool the cards are - i would just buy them in non stop. Pretty sure i would collect like two base shadowsless sets or other autistic stuff like that.

I honestly never knew about pokemon cards because in europe the craze wasn't that big... (however my coworker friend has 2 base set charizards he pulled as a kid so some kids had that stuff back then i guess)
>>
>>59033719
It was pretty massive in Aus around the year 2000, everyone had base/jungle/fossil and then it just disappeared nobody every mentioned team rocket or gym challenge, certainly not neo or e-series. aquapolis? never heard of it.
We got Yu-Gi-Oh during Legend of Blue Eyes & Magic Ruler but then stopped buying cards outright, never had binders or penny sleeves none of that they weren't viewed as a collectors item to cherish and protect not in our household anyway

Now a banged up smeared booger lugia scratched to death been through the washing machine & vomitted/shat on sets you back like $400 USD, absolutely retarded

When i was in school Pokemon was considered super lame and "gay" and it was embarassing to admit you like them so i never told anybody i'm watching anime and recording them on VHS tapes even.

I always think what would happen if i actually knew about pokemon cards. I'm super nerdy so i would definitely have an insane collection. Because even back then i sometimes tend to have 2 of a thing that i like (action figure for example - 1 to play with and 1 to keep on a shelf sealed).

I guess it wasn't advetised that much, because i honestly never heared about Pokemon cards that much even if i was super into pokemon.
I knew about cards of course but never came closer.
PS:
My earliest Pokemon TCG memories come from an early 2000s TV-show "OZ".
One of villains from that show kidnapped some character's kids by telling them he has pokemon cards in his car.
And it made me think "WOW! Pokemon cards? I guess they are very popular?", hahaha.

I never understood why people use sweatpants. You have a 5% boner and your body turns from Ken Doll anatomy to "i have a huge dick" because sweatpants are terrible at keeping your penis hidden

>>
>>59034459
Back then random artists were doing extended art by hand (you could tell because the artstyle was slightly different than a card). Then it became AI...
I'm not sure if the official art of the card is that big.
Sure sometimes artists drawing a card bigger than it can be in the final cut but they don't do a card with such huge empty space "just incase it will be an art-frame"

Newfag, I want to start collecting just for fun idc about making money or ever selling.
I have a few gen 4 cards including a neat torterra + a first edition machamp both from my childhood, like maybe $200 worth of stuff total laying about total.
So far everywhere online and in person has been sold out. Some specialist card sites selling current Scarlet & Violet era packs for anywhere between 1.5x to 3x the MSRP. Is that reasonable rn? Im in Europe so idk how much of a difference if at all that has on pricing?
>>
>>59035836
Whatever you’re willing to spend is worth it to you. I would personally never pay that much more for current stuff, assuming you’re looking to rip packs. I haven’t bought sealed in a few years at this point because it was becoming a huge pain in the ass to get anything around the time of Evolving Skies.

You just mad nobody gives a shit about vintage.
Every card show - people are excited about modern cards and collecting them.
There are videos of "Pokedex Binder update" and guy keeps replacing ugly vintage cards with one of those new "cool illustration card" that pokemon finally got.

Vintage is just investment for investorcucks. If you like collecting - you probably having good taste and a brain so you will buy a card that looks cool

in fact i was looking to do a PSA submission, but since they keep price gouging that it would be better for me not to participate in grading for the time being.
I wish i could take in more stock but the thing is that i don't actually trust the modern market. its actually more beneficial for the time being that i dont get priced gouged every company trying to capitalize on the trading card market. the best way to make money is by simply not losing it by making bad decisions.

I know its a concept that hard for a new collector to understand, but essentially.
don't grade, don't sell, wait until the game changes then capitalize later. it will be more financially beneficial for me as a collector than just overspending on new product or grading right now.

I have been thinking about it. I'm a player and often times I win sealed product at local leagues which I hastily open only to be disappointed by my pulls mostly every single time. Maybe I'll start shoving them up in a box instead of ripping them although the degeneration of opening boosters is tempting at times. There is also my brothers who will insist of opening the product at home.

This is a separate set, where the art for each of the mons is sort of based on the actual theme park rides featuring them in the old 2005 pokepark. I don't like this set at much though, it's not as cute.

But I'm just a random guy with a random job.

I clearly missed the opportunity to get anything before the hype started.

I started to - with Phantasmal Flames.
I kind of did it with Lost Origin because Giratina looked so fucking cool i decided to collect giratina products. But i also got too retard with card chasing and opened all my stuff because of chasing Giratina card.

Phantasmal Flames is one of the most visually cool and presentable sets. And it's small. I'll just buy Charizard when it dips and will keep my stuff sealed.
I have an Etb and Both charizard tins for now. Will get Charizard UPC later this month.

Because pokemon is a part of human DNA. (it's kind of weird to see how such things just because part of humanity because i remember the world of pre internet/meme era when we didnt have this brainrot lol)

That's what credit cards are good for. Catch the fish while the iron is hot the pay it later completely then it doesn't generate interest. Of course you'll need to have great auto control or else you'll go down the debt rabbithole.
>>
>>59038180
Just didn't want to go with all that money stuff fucking myself further over cardboard because i already use Klarna that is weird... But yeah.
I was rubbing my hands like a merchant man preparing to do that juicy Klarna antics to my Ebay cart - it had so many good finds inside - 90%+ of them are now up on the moon or were bought out very quickly.

PS:
the hype got just two things left - that dark Paldean Fates charizard (he would look epic next to Phantasmal Flames Charizard because both of them are dark colored dragons and i think a very much ticking bomb of an option - [--the data is unobtainable--] (i will post it after trying to get it soon)

no i dont really understand buying sealed to keep sealed if i want something that will appreciate in value and be safe ill buy gold, if i want something to collect ill get loose cards you can actually see and touch. i dont want a bunch of same/ugly looking retail packaging sitting around on my shelves. Maybe a promo in those clear plastic packages id keep sealed but even those id rather have sleeved in my binder

Collect stuff that doesn't look ugly then.
