Couldnt have put it better. Single slabs are mainly for collectors with the off chance it increases in price. Only sealed is stable "investment". Raw singles have potential but much riskier. Great vid

This was nice to hear, and I absolutely agree with you. I do think that there are indicators of when singles will rise and fall in price, however as you say, it seems or maybe even is random. Sealed product is the way to go, if you want steady, minimal-risk gains.

Sealed product is over invested as well. You seriously underestimate the amount of WAREHOUSES full of them. The whole market will come crashing down when interest inevitably dies out. Trading cards are cyclical and we are in the junk wax era 2.0, you arent investing because you are buying sealed product, you are gambling too and making a losing bet

Basically people who got all the old cards and saved them done well, and people who knew they would go up in value done well but people just getting into the game will be buying cards already priced high. Most the old cards have all been found and kept and will be priced high. You have to be extremely lucky and find somebody who don’t know what they are selling to make a profit. The only reason old sealed product is expensive is because people did not know they would go up in value and they stopped producing them making them ultra rare, but now they make so much product and many people save them making them not rare and they won’t go up in value that much at all.

Just buy low or cards you think are undervalued. Of course if you're gonna go out and buy 10 moonbreon at their height you're probably not gonna win. Also people don't invest in pokemon to make money usually they do it because they like pokemon and want the possibility of making money from it as well. Anybody that invests in pokemon will tell you that it's probably better to diversify your assets or invest into index funds. In other words people are investing in pokemon because they think it's fun not because they think it's smart Although historically Pokemon has outperformed the S+P 500.

The only things I buy are cads I like and want to KEEP. If they become valuable, or I pull a valuable card. I’ll decide to sell them. But as an “investment” no thank you.

I'd say it's more so speculating than gambling, cus at least with gambling you know the odds etc. What is annoying is grown ass people hoarding products that are made to be opened and making it hard for actual collectors to obtain pieces they love.

I mean investing in cards is much harder to predict than sealed product. Modern slabs prob may only be worth to buy if you want to quick flip it. Long term holds you got to stick with the most iconic best of the best cards of each era as most cards prob fade from popularity but even then many have such high buy in prices. Sealed still the way safer bet in general especially for people who don’t want to do too much research

In regards to sealed product side, the key really is whether people are buying any product at the available price, or buying the good products/sets at good prices. If people are buying trainer tool kits, battle decks, battle academy, and your personal favorite > trick and trade booster bundles, yes they are terrible investments, but if they are buying quality pokemon sets, boxes, and items then they will typically outperform equities by quite a bit. Singles wise, yea it is a bit more random. I personally dont think it was that hard to predict the rise in alt arts however. They are tough pulls in S&S and the most desirable cards, its easy to see why those in particular would go up, there are random moves with things like wifu cards but each person has to manage their risk and prioritize how they want to collect/invest, just like with any traditional market.

I agree. I think it's very easy to predict the outcomes of singles and slabs over a 3-6 month period if you're actually really into the hobby and staying up to date. I buy to sell, but I also only buy something I actually want. It's not fun for me to sit and let boxes collect dust. At that point, it really is only about the money and not the enjoyment of the cards. At least with a slab, I get to enjoy it and show it off while I have it.

Without hypt from pokemon content creators & the community in general sales for product both collectors & investors sales for any pokemon product would drastically be reduced.hype cauase fomo & desire & chase for the product all if this works in the favor of the card player & the investor & collector alike.without any of this the market would be dead & there would not be any need to hold collect a con etc which unit all sides of the community togather

Investing in graded slabs imo isn’t great. But buying minty singles is great because if they do eventually increase in value you can get them graded and get a 1.5-5x multiple on top of the gain. Although to pick consistent 10 quality cards takes a sharp eye and you’re probably better off grading it then and there. But if you just want to collect and invest it’s not a bad idea imo.

Latios and latias in a 10 is worth a booster box and may eventually one day go to 5k 10k. The top 3 carda from that set are worth more than like 3 booster boxes in a 10.
