Pokemon Investing Is SO Simple! 

Yesssss…. Open the packs! Open allllll the packs!! Sealed investors are counting on you! You can do it!

​@@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax lol yes we are😂

Try to use your packs as a reward system. When you pile up stacks you can have the feeling of excitement because you know that you can potentially open all of the packs you've been saving.

you and me both!

love it

thanks man

Lol

Thanks man! Nice to meet you too!

Yes, we’re not talking about thousands per month. Literally $100 per month into a hobby

Yes these are usd. Can definitely find booster boxes for $140 CAD. Quite a few online stores, and join the Canadian Facebook groups to find these deals

Yea I think there is definitely a play to be had with those

Agree, I love the poke investing scene and enjoy channels like Colin’s, PK’s, Nomics etc, but they rarely mention the actual selling side. I think it’s because the selling isnt too difficult. These products are super liquid.

@@JoshGreaves-or1wy oh yeah, I totally agree everything is super liquid right now. I enjoy all of the content as well by them. I just think that people should be more transparent. For example, if your $90-100 booster box goes to $200. In theory you doubled your money, but after taxes, selling fees, shipping etc it will more likely be 1.5 times your money. Then you have to weigh how long that money was stagnant. Just a lot of nuance that could be touched on.

"Not to mention you would had to have bought at the best time for each set, and held for five years. Close to no one actually did that." This is exactly my point. Start now, and 5-7 years from now, everyone will be saying "no one actually did that" because they wont, but you did if you get started!

Welcome!!

Yea for sure, but most of the time, if you try to time the market perfect, you won’t. Its easier just to get in early and sit on it

Thanks man!

Really depends on whether you’re truly “investing” or if there’s some collection goals in the mix

@@ThePokeOffice investing. Leaving aside the collecting etb's part.

I always prefer booster boxes

@ThePokeOffice why? Does it sell better? Usually etbs are cheaper unless you want your storage kept small

@ThePokeOffice cant find any boxes 100euro (1box pack) the lowes I could find was 115 . Cheaper one is booster bundle case for 250 6x10 pre order shrouded fates But idk about that one since the amount of cards are less

Meh, if you’re willing to hold for 5 years, I personally think any Pokemon product is okay

Just bought 10x 3pack booster from chilling reign at 14,99

I'm a believer that lots of people talk big about pokemon investing, but don't actually walk the walk. So I suspect that if people follow this strategy, they will do very well in 5-10 years from now

Sure! Same principles apply

They’re fine but I think booster boxes are better

Yea, that’s what makes Pokémon so fun!

Same here

I hope you bought lots of cosmic

If you're following this strategy, you'd be buying Twilight Masquerade

@ThePokeOffice ok thanks. Cheapest booster box is £165 atm moment...I might buy 1 box a month for 12 months ...and store away for 5-7 years

and of course, this isn't going to replace retirement investing - it's an alternative investment where you already put money into the hobby

Very nice!

Mr P to the top. Only SV set I'm holding rn. 151 will likely outperform/already is but I don't collect specialty sets

Temporal Forces best SV set

That's fine. I can wait 3-5 years. If not longer. This is an alt investment as far as I'm concerned. If they boom before that, great. If not, no big deal. What I'm trying to say is, this should be a secondary or tertiary investment, not a primary investment. Put 10% of your paycheck into more traditional investments like SP500 funds first. Pokemon should be additional.

Yeah if you’re impatient. Just hold don’t be a paper hand. Google diamond hands/paper hands if you don’t know their definitions little pokemon guy.

Sv era will be sought after in 5-7 years, just like the rest of them

I much prefer booster boxes

Said everyone

lol!

There’s lots - Pokémon cards Canada, Pokemon elite, Pokemon tcg Canada…

@@ThePokeOffice I’m in all those too! They’re all great groups. Thanks for your content man!

Thanks man

Sun & Moon era crushed S&P500, SWSH more than likely will over a 5 year stretch, and we’ll have to wait and see about SV era!

@@ThePokeOffice so s&p average 10-12% yearly return. How much would you say Pokémon sealed boosters do?

I agree with you, except the returns. I wouldn’t do a return on a private sale. And to be fair, I’ve made plenty of sales through Facebook groups where there are no fees. Managing a stock account takes time, energy, and knowledge as well. And upstanding citizens should report taxes on all investments so that ones a bit of a wash. Agreed tho, there’s another whole video to be made about selling for profit 👍

@@ThePokeOffice Fair. For stocks, I use an index fund (person & Roth IRA). Does not require any time, energy, or knowledge. Put it all on auto pay and your money grows with the entire stock market, not from stock picking which is very risky.

I like to mix my analogies a bit!!

@@ThePokeOffice I love it man 😂👍

Much appreciated!

that's the short answer of the strategy I laid out, yep

I could go for some chicken vindaloo right about now 😀

SV era boxes for sub $100 isn’t really a bull market. Like, I know what you mean, but you can buy sv era stuff for close to wholesale price right now.

​@@ThePokeOfficeMake the Chinese subsidize your SV booster box investments by using Tiktok coupons so you get them for $70 after taxes and shipping instead of $100

It may or may not be the “best” returning strategy, but it takes out all of the guessing games trying to pick the best sets

@@ThePokeOffice true

Sell at 80% market price, take your 240% gains, and you’ll still be loving life. I’ve sold plenty on fb groups and it’s not difficult with booster boxes

I don’t think I ever said you’re going to see the same growth as SM or SWSH era. I said that every booster box is going to make it to MSRP or higher, which is a good investment when you’re buying boxes at $100

1. Every single Pokemon set in existence has gone up to at least MSRP at some point after release. 2. Same with the stock market - people look at historical data to speculate future. Nothing different here. And with that being said, I totally get that there’s a risk. And space can definitely be an issue, no question. Thanks for the comment

Basically every swsh set is already beating TFSAs by a long shot. Sure it's riskier but hard to argue with results

You were probably one the same dummies that said swsh is overprinted and will never have the appreciation to that of sun and moon. Do you enjoy being wrong or are numbers hard for you?

Covid has been over for 3 years. Logan Paul craze has been over for 3 years. The fact that the pokemon company has been having big profits and continuing to have to print more and more just to meet demand for the last 4 years. Not to mention black rock has recognized collectibles as a alternative asset. It could use a little pull back but it's gonna keep having healthy growth bud

I feel that struggle , it’s hard for me not to open crown zenith or anything that has good deals for that matter

So, I agree with some of what you’ve said. This is also not my only retirement investing vehicle, so I have money in other stuff too. This is first and foremost a hobby for me. If you gain 300%, sell for 80%, you have still gained 240% so that’s better than most “safer” stocks are going to do. Everything takes time to see gains. The whole video was based on holding for 5-7 years. If you want to see gains, you’ve typically got to plant your money somewhere. Storage is a legitimate issue for people. But this is still a great way to make solid gains and grow your collection / investment in my opinion

PMT Cards doesn’t want to invest in cards 🤔, r u serious about your rant

@@Alflloyd64 my point is the it’s misleading in regards to how great it is. You’re not actually making 8k off the 3k investment. Take that 8k and subtract fees, shipping, and taxes ( which you technically paid twice, once to purchase the product and again on the sale/gains). You could easily be at 5k take home. That’s also assuming you get 100% of market value, which again is rare cause in order to offload something like this you’re constantly being undercut, so you at one point have to be one of the lowest out there in order to sell. Additionally you now need space in a climate controlled area to pile 5 years worth of booster boxes.. you also have to actually be able to sell the product, either build a reputation where people are comfortable buying 300+% upcharges on items or consign it which takes a cut of the sale. I have vintage slabs on eBay that have sat there for months, and I’ve decreased the prices like 3-4 times, sent out offers for discount and they don’t move. I can look at my TCG player where I’ve sold a couple hundred dollars this year, and lost over a hundred in fees, and it does not count for the cost of the product, shipping materials, postage, etc.. it’s a fun side thing that without having deep connections to get product below going rates, a ton of free capital to add to the hobby, etc.. it essentially subsidizes the hobby a bit.. but definitely not getting rich off it like a lot of the poke invest in RU-vid space gives people the illusion of. Traditional investment strategies allow you to be far more liquid (access to the money), allow for compounding interest, and has no storage necessities with guaranteed safety of your money up to a certain amount.. even if your house gets flooded or catches on fire or a kid accidentally knocks them over or opens them, etc. This is a fun side thing, just be careful of the people telling you you’ll be rich or it’s guaranteed money

Okay 👍

Talk to me in 5 years and show me how you did. We’ll compare portfolios

While I believe theirs more complexities to this than the video showed, the point of buying all sets over time is to allow for a few losses cause you will possibly hit on others. Usually the losses aren’t going down to 0$ so if you lost let’s say 50$ a box on those two sets but all other sets appreciated in value, you’d still make money over all.

@@ThePokeOffice sure, I have my own channel I’ll be talking about this and keep your word to it.
