Many people who joined the market are very short sighted. Many of them are use to NFTs, Crypto....they all had the misconception that things will always 5x, 10x. This short sightedness comes from what the society had become, fast fashion, increase in popularity with short games.....the word patience no longer exist for many ppl

I agree with you that Wizards of the Coast cards are everywhere and for that reason the market prices for those cards are quite volatile. But there are also many people who can relate to those sets because that’s what they grew up with. Personally I collect PSA 9 of the shadowless unlimited holos (any) and base set unlimited PSA 7-9 Holos of just the big three. And it’s because those are the cards I would play with when I was a child. I simply enjoy collecting so I am sure there are many others that do as well.

For me this intuition is more just being a collector, every card I collected since getting back into the hobby last year has went up at least doubled since august and continues with my recent purchases. If you’re a true collector and just collect cards you enjoy, other collectors will similarly be chasing those cards and it will go up in value once the masses catch up. Just collect cards you truly enjoy, if it goes up it goes up but if it doesn’t you still are primarily collecting. Also I do agree those Japanese promos hit different especially sealed. That’s been sucking me dry the last few months lol. Go to everyone and stay safe

So I agree and just wait, the wotc craze is already getting saturated and when flippers want their cash back with tens of thousands worth in cards and thousands spent on grading fees. Expect a lot of cards prices to crash especially the non psa 10s which I think will still hold some values but psa 8/9s? Good luck ^^

The ebb and flow happens in every card market. Look at the recent Magic reserve list buyouts. A year ago, card shops wouldn't hardly take in reserved list cards. Now, they can't find them to buy back at a loss. Mark my words. WOTC Pokemon will come back down the road. Watch this dip for bargains and opportunities to get the cards you missed and wish you'd have gotten before. The more desirable ones in mint condition are going to come back up faster and harder. Take advantage of everyone else's fear.

That's not really a good way to word it. There's a huge difference between something that's immoral and something that merely doesn't help society morally. There's an unlimited number of things that don't help society morally and yet wouldn't be considered immoral by anyone. They're just neutral. Scalping is bad because it's immoral, not because it's morally unproductive. I would also say that there's a big difference between scalping vs. actual investing (which is long term).

Pop reports and number of raw copies of cards on the market are only going to go up for the majority of stuff being graded right now. On the other hand take the blastoise EX tins in the back ground or any XY era booster box those are not going to printed again so supply over time is only going to go down and prices will continue to go up. Go with sealed product you won't be disappointed.
