How to Manage Your Pokemon Investments Like the TOP 1% 

I’m not even planning on going into investing into sealed product any time soon and I still love watching your videos. Super interesting and done in a wonderful way. It is just so easy to listen to you.

👏Well done on passing 8K subscribers, it’s really grown fast since you hit 5K. Top advice mate, quality over quantity 👍

Your videos are really being helped by the Algo. Showed up one day and didn't stop. I'm not complaining, great content 🤷🏻‍♂️

I purchased a sealed booster case of 151 Japanese for $2900 through market place a few weeks ago and now I can’t find one anywhere for less then $4000.

The Inteleon theme decks were very playable at one point ,I was getting them at 7$ each, after selling the singles I was able to make 15$ profit off each deck.

Referring your 3rd point, which types of cards or products should I start to sell now to build my selling platform? I don’t want to sell something that will be worth a lot more in the future. Also huge congrats on 8k subs, 10k soon!

Toyota. Your people sold me my scion Tc. Thanks for the 3/4 chub. Also thanks for the Scion!

What if I can grab 20-25$ msrp pokemon tins for 12$ 😂 I still pull the trigger on those deals even tho it’s just tins.

Congratulations on hitting 8k man! Well deserved :)

Number 3 cannot be overstated. Started a eBay page specifically for selling and am working on building up my feedback.

Best invest in land cruisers

what do you do at toyota?

Congrats on the 8k subscribers 🎉 Next stop 10k 👍🏼 To the moon 🚀 🌙. . . . Like my Pokemon investments in 5-10 years 😉

Thank you for this, appreciate your video and first hand advice. Keep it up and good luck!

Technically there IS a Gyarados in the Magikarp card. LOL.

Awesome and informative. Nice 1!💯💥

A little late question regarding those 'Theme Boxes' (like the Intelleon one) - I usually only buy them at a discount and open them with the kids. But a short time ago, I found a 'mispackaged' Pikachu V/VMAX box (it had 2 VMAXES instead of 1:1). I bought it just because I found this to be a curiosity. ;) My question: Is this something that climbs in price? Or doesn't this matter at all?

The few times I have purchased really weird lesser liked and popular sets I only did it if it was on a crazy clearance or sale and I would do the math if I can get the packs inside for $3 a pack or lower and that way if the box doesn't sell later I can just open it and want those individual packs go up in value I can just sell them by the individual pack however I would never buy a case of anything like that I would maybe just buy one unless the packs inside came out to me and fifty cents each then I might bulk buy and with the intent for just the packs but I would also consider what packs are inside

What website do you suggest using to track prices? Other problem i have, i live in South Africa, so products for example, a booster box, retails for 130$ at release... if the price drops to 90$, retailers are still selling them at 130$ ...

Great video! It's so hard to time the right set at the right time. I paid over $6 each for sleeved Darkness Ablaze and Vivid Voltage packs back when the sets were the hottest products. Now people get mad when they get those packs in a box set and will barely pay $2.50 for them. Thank goodness I only bought a couple art sets of each and of course a few ET'B's to put away. It will probably take another 5 years before I can even get my money back on those sealed products. Even better, way back in the day I remember shopping for the newest Pokemon cards and passing up sealed Team Up ETB's sitting on the shelf because I had already opened one and didn't get a hit, and that they were everywhere sitting on shelves. When the Tag Team GX tins came out I bought one of each for investment, but that was it (but I'm still very thankful that I picked them up as they are about $90 already). This was way before I started investing in sealed cases (which is definitely the way to maximize your profits). So now I only buy brand new product when it first comes out when we are going to open it immediately or give it for Christmas presents. (like all the 151 I had to buy at 25% off retail). Just wait on this stuff to flood the market before you invest. Now I buy sealed cases a year or two after release or wait for auctions of bulk sealed loose blisters. The only product I missed out on using this logic is the Celebrations UPC. Even the Arceus and Charizard UPC's made it down to $75 (just like the 151 UPC will be eventually). Evolving skies never got cheap either but you could buy sleeved packs for $4 for the longest time. Over the last year I've been able to buy a lot of sealed product, even as old as Fusion Strike, for around $2.50 per pack on various websites. It does take time and you really have to check for deals every night but it can be worth it if you want the best return on investment.

Learnt lesson 1 the hard way! Shaymin vstar collection box. Thankfully, I only purchased 1. There are some great packs in there, but who cares for Shaymin, really?....Paldean Fates Charizard tins are on my list for next year.

The magikarp does have a Gyarados in the background

This guy is a Toyota tech. You can trust his knowledge on pretty much anything else from there 😂

Now is the time to sell JP 151 with such a price increase over the last 3 months. Reprints have been confirmed on in Japan and Sellers are just trying to squeeze out what they can. I know suppliers that are reducing their prices and confirmed reprints. It may not drop the price ALOT but surely they will go back to $150 for a nice dip. Sold all mine at 195 USD and waiting on reprints.

151 is getting reprinted price has dropped from Japanese resellers accros the board on order to flog as much as possible before it drops over the past week or 2

I got a tik tok deal 4 Paldea Evolved booster boxes for $89 each and also now I'm going to go deep into Japanese pokémon 151 boxes

Got xy evolutions booster box and blastoise etb for about 900... hoping that can pull through

What’s your thoughts on graded cards? Compared to sealed products? Good investment or too risky to go for single graded cards

50% of Austrailans live check to check, catch up mate

Subscribed 😊 Great channel, onwards and upwards ❤

The 1% doesn't invest in Pokemon... They invest in the Stock market and High End Art

Quick hide all the urshifu boxes before Michael comes over

Do you have a good connect to buy single ungraded nm Japanese cards ?

I Love your channel, for lack of a better word 😉

great entrance with a story hook

What sets should I be buying now?

Those score Z box's are the real flex

I use TCG player and do my DD. 1. Is the MPH going up? 2. How many of said product was bought in the last 30 days? 3. How many are available at that market price? 4. How missed will it be in the future aka evolutions or Team up? 5. Do I love the set? If all hit yes I buy what I can afford

I like your Toyota Shirt

gratz on 9k subs mate, im totally new to buying pokemon. On the main part looking at pokemon as an investment bit also a bit of fun

What about if the v box has an evolving skies pack in?

Char pricing level do you think obisdian flames? English 151 booster bundle and 151 etb as wel as Scarlett and violet base. Love the videos

What online platform should I start selling my cards/sealed items? eBay or TCG player?

Hey! Your giving up the secret. I see people buy anything and everything Pokemon while I'm targeting specific items. Well I went a blew that for me. Lol

Thanks again Michael

so would promo boxes like the Zoroark Promo box with ES packs inside would these be considered bad investments? What if you got them for under MSRP?

Just like Pokémon . Your real fans will invest in you . Wether it’s money or ❤️

What thought on buying some sealed 151 etb and sealed booster bundles or you think they’ll reprint that to death

Theme decks I never pick up but do make a point of keeping a sealed world championship deck or two. Love the difference in back art. 2023 London mew VMAX 'shape of mew' box was beautiful

Do you work for Toyota? lol or just a big fan? enjoying the investing convo and info thanks man

This video is brought to you in conjunction with the new Toyota Camry 😂

Putting out some really solid stuff man. Good DD and well reviewed! Can't wait for the update on the Supra bet/goal 😅

Srat away from Rebel Clash, got it! Lol great video sir

Another great video Oz!! And congratulations on the 8k subs

Do you work for Toyota?

Do you still recommend JP 151 as a strong buy at 200 US? Kicking myself for not getting in at 130, 140 a box and remembering how i managed to nap eevee heroes for under 200 a few months before it doubled from that.

Feel like this one definitely told 2021 me off! Any plans to do a grading video? A lot of my investing is done via PSA

Great content as always, Michael! Excited for you on how your channel has grown since you started earlier this year. Congrats! Happy Holidays to you and here is to an even better 2024! 🎉🤙🏼

Buying 3 booster packs < 1 slab you want

Great content as always, congrats on the growth.

Thanks for the guidance mate

Let’s goo mate great videos !

yo how's your day going?

I opened all my sealed stuff , I kinda regret it but not regret it. I don't think I'm capable of investing and keeping sealed tcg products for decades.
