Do NOT make these 15 Pokemon investing mistakes

Advise is a verb , advice would be correct and it is good

is vmax climax a good hold if i find it for a good price

or should i just get more vstar universe

💯

Thanks for the sub! I got my Gengar light on Amazon. I actually have a link to it in the description of this video!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Couldn’t agree more. I still have my childhood collection and now my son and I rip packs together.

Charizard promo cards doing well

That’s called click bait

evolutions crashed hard from 30$ down to 12-15$ about a year ago I think

Bc alot of us are the reason why Pokémon boomed in first place but now we’re adults who need money for food so we’re selling everything we own

Yep, I think you’re dead on with this prediction!

I do agree with the yellow border thing. I said that today at Gamestop. I don't think for the cards it is going to be memorable though. These sets are going to be shrouded in years and years of desirable cards and sets that are all printed to oblivion. Pokémon is so popular now and the chances it sustains and GROWS over the years is not good. Prices are rising, pull rates are awful, sets are larger and more diluted than ever before and by the time 2040 comes around there are going to be how many cards that are considered popular? Tons. Tons. We'll all be on our death beds in 50 years trying to sell or pass along a Moonbreon lol Saturating the market to the actual moon. My grandma always said, the house always wins. Pokémon can reprint, they can do literally anything. We are hoarding some things but how much is being hoarded? How much isn't even in the hands of actual consumers willing to OPEN the product. Things to think about. I agree with yellow border nostalgia but aside from that this set will be buried one day beneath years and years of insane and new artwork they'll inevitably create. The house always wins.

@@jamesgraves9858 The house is already winning - but kids are still getting into it eg. my son. So one day they have money and will want the cards of their youth. It's the 1# franchise after all

@@dalton10000 I absolutely understand that but at that point what are they going to be collecting? The cards produced as they are adults or the ones they wanted as kids? lol I'm collecting modern currently but began primarily with vintage. The production of cards is through the roof. Sun and Moon was likely the last of the series that were somewhat limited & it was actually much more fun back then. I just think we're taking this a little too seriously right now, don't you think? RU-vid channels are just thriving off of speculation about a hobby involving fictional characters. I love those fictional characters, but let's be real...

Also, Lucario is loved by alot of people

Thanks! That Gengar sign is one of the best purchases I've made. I have a link to it in the description because I get asked about it so much ;)

That means a lot! Thank you!

@@ISTHIStheKRUSTYKRABx as much as your comment made me do the nose-exhale-laugh thing, I mean he’s kind of right though…look at how valuable vintage mint cards are…it’s because 90% of them were binder bound…long term they’re just no bueno. They’re meant for loading up your cards to bring to trade events and such. Not for permanent long term storage . Think of a binder more like a carrying case not a storage solution

You can never know for sure, but historically all Pokemon boxes have appreciated in value over time. Once a set goes out of print, that is when you start to see prices rise, but sometimes it happens earlier than that when supply doesn't meet the demand.

Thanks, really appreciate the encouragement! And glad to have you as a part of the community!

Glad to hear it!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Glad the video was useful to you!

Much appreciated!

I wouldn’t be surprised if we go through a down era again before it rallies back at the 30th anniversary. If so, I see it as an opportunity to keep picking up sealed products that most people will miss out on, only to come back years later and want to buy the stuff they missed. Could be totally wrong, and if I am I’ll have a good time opening everything with you guys on this channel 😉

@@cardboardape Yeah thats why i haven't been big on product that doesn't stand out. I think there will be a time to get things cheaper. But product I REALLY want I'm totally buying.

This was something that concerned me and I think a decent amount of other people. I switched over to vintage and completed a set of neo genesis.

DEFINITELY a mistake to project value appreciation of older product onto current product. it’s arguable what percentage of total Pokemon sales in the US go directly into bins & closets but it’s gotta be close to 50%. with prices where they are right now people are hoarding cases of product that they do not intend to open. they see sets like CR and FS eventually maturing & appreciating the way XY sets have done, to use the example previously mentioned, because there just werent the quantity of “sealed investors” holding for the long term that we have today. so in 3, 5, 7 years it simply isnt going to be anywhere near as uncommon or difficult to find someone with 20 cases of Chilling Reign looking to offload a few boosters as it is finding sealed boosters of Breakthrough or Fates Collide or Evolutions. i also agree there will be another down era, its virtually guaranteed with Pokemon printing everything to demand. the Zard UPC fiasco knocked A LOT of rookie prospectors & speculators out of the game, either preordering stupid bundles or paying well over MSRP or buying an overabundance of ZUPC’s because Celebrations UPC was an instant bank & getting stuck with the bricks… with the 2nd wave yet to come that box is going to take its time getting back to MSRP, nevermind appreciating exponentially like CUPC did. combine the overprinting & hoarding with the coming increase in MSRP & we’re likely to see both casual collectors AND smaller LGS’ shutting down because ppl already dont want to pay current MSRP & small shops are slashing prices by 25% in some cases upon preorder. there are still diamonds to be found. theres a certain Dragons box exclusive to a big box retailer that is absolutely beautiful but overlooked. there is also a Kyurem box out there with Skies in it that ppl have relatively ignored. these are some examples of sets currently in production that wont have the same abundance of hoarded product because none of it can be bought in cases or for sub-MSRP but there is definite value there. cheers everyone 👍🏽

You’re in the right spot! If you want to dive all in, you should come join us over on discord and you can chat with me and others as much as you want about Pokémon! Link is in the description of this video

Rebel Clash was a trash set, but it definitely goes to show that scarcity matters. I think you have to take that into account when choosing what to buy, for sure.

its so fun tho opening packs even tho u end up losing most of the time

Link is in the description! It’s easily my favorite decoration in that room!

@@cardboardape Right on brother, it looks great! Gengar is by far my favorite pokemon I'm 100% buying myself one to go with some of my other Gengar stuff!

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!

I was thinking about only buying JAP Pokémon cards, but I found out they are actually worse quality compared to American cards.

Glad it was helpful!

That's exactly how I got back into Pokemon. My 7 year old at the time got some Evolutions packs a few years ago and I was hooked. It's such a good way to connect with your kids!

Thanks for the sub!

Nice pickup, and thank you!

Couldn't agree more!

You obviously didn’t listen to the video in detail because he had some contradicting points

@gnasty30 feel free to direct that towards me, but please don't go after others in the comments simply because they have a different opinion than you.

You bet!

Appreciate it!

Glad to have you!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I remember those days! And I have nothing but respect for those that still collect in that way. I find it really fun to collect while also trying to build a collection that will grow in value over time. But I understand that’s not everyone’s cup of tea

@@cardboardape those were the days! Now we teach them to our kids. And yes, I respect that, I have friends who I buy from, some of whom are in the market as well. They get sad whenever I turn down their offers, I trade my spares instead because that’s how we did it before when there was no social media. Great content and thanks for making the Poké community aware! 🤘

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks, and will do!

It’s so easy to do! Definitely takes some self-discipline to not FOMO
