1 AM Rant: MetaZoo and the Risks of Investing in Speculative Collectibles! Lessons to be Learned!

Welcome back to Reserved Investments and thank you for joining me! In today's video, we talk about the rise and fall of MetaZoo and what we can learn about this. The mindset of an investor in alternate assets like antiques and collectibles has to be different from the mindset of an investor investing in well established financial assets...

Funny that you bring up the 30 year rule in the metazoo video because they had an 30th anniversary set “reprint” which was an April fools product in 2023. That was also the last April they ever saw 😂. Love the videos as well, please never delete them

[@ww8552]

Thank you for the great summary. Especially towards the end. I have been struggling on how to keep calm, and level headed, and not get too emotional with collectibles. It's definitely a process of both learning about the collectibles I love and learning about myself. Thanks!

[@lancecaldwell3163]

I'm almost done watching your video and I got to say you're the Yoda of collecting and finances as far as I'm concerned I appreciate everything you saying I'm seeing my collection in a different light thank you and continue to make videos once in awhile I really enjoy watching them I think you're the best man

[@IvanMTG1]

Hey there, played this in the background while I did some chores. I liked the book you showed at the end there. the expensive finance one. I think you are right in that people need to gain deeper understandings of the greater principals and theories at play than just treating the collectibles like a casino. I think if you are a casual fan. of collectibles, and you occassionally buy and flip stuff, great for you. but this can be dangerous with enough followers and sometimes they preach these casual interests as hard facts or "proof" or "evidence". It's like Lao Tsu said, "Those who know do not say,. Those who say do not know."

[@TheOddOddish]

Your awesome Shawun! Don't change for anyone! Always appreciate your realistic and thorough evaluations of all the different markets we talk about! Even if you don't collect a certain collectable, its useful to apply the different techniques learned and observed from other markets! Thanks For everything!

I lot of people don't remember the original purpose of investing in gold. It wasn't to maximize returns, it was to hedge against loss. You always diversified a little into gold because it always maintained it's value against inflation. You buy $1000 worth of gold, you'd be guaranteed at least $1000 in 10, 20, 30 years. The safest of investments.

[@Thebluedud]

Funny you should bring up Flesh and Blood. I'm a pretty invested (from a gaming/competetive standpoint) FaB player who happened to wander in here from elsewhere. I love the game a lot, but it was also what taught me an agonizing $40 lesson when I attempted to speculate on what cards would go up in value after a set reveal and got burned. Definitely glad I learned it when I did as cheap as I did. I do still collect some of the fancy coldfoils, but I try to keep my collecting more personal now. Not buying based on what I think will be valuable, but buying ones that really speak to me in some way. Some of the rarer cards can feel like real works of art. Even if FaB craters one day, it's been such a meaningful part of my life and introduced me to a lot of cool people in the time it's been here and I'll always have beautiful mementos of these good times. Hell, even if one day they ARE worth a lot of money, I'd probably hold on to them out of sentimentality.

I’ve never even heard of Metazoo and yet I really enjoyed the video. The advice of diversified assets is great - some boring finance investing and some collectibles to make it fun! Plus, let’s not forget credit card debt as negative investing!!!

[@Kurtle001]

Shawn is the Goat 🐐

[@Aurinna]

I may be huffing my own copium, but I don't think we should conflate MetaZoo and Flesh & Blood other than being released around the same time-frame, it's an entirely different audience demographic and playability/collectability. It's still extremely speculative, but consumer confidence, management, gameplay, card design in FABTCG is handled way better than MetaZoo.

[@charleszaremba5809]

Secondary FAB market was out of hand a couple of years ago and a lot of people got burned. It remains to be seen if those pricey graded CF slabs end up rebounding back to when the Rona money was flowing. Agree 100% with you that the LSS management is a lot better than MetaZoo’s. How do we know? One of the card games is still active, and one is a piece of crap.

[@UKDark_Mark]

I would love another video on Metazoo that goes way more in depth into the reason it failed. Please consider making that video. I never invested in Metazoo, I bought to enjoy the cards and play with friends. It rekindled my love for card games and I made so many great memories.

Thanks for the video. Best advise for the average person is to throw money into the s&p 500, not collectables. People often only look at upside and never downside risk. Risk managment is over looked....timmys will be timmys. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Anecdotally I have only seen ppl playing meta zoo once, at least with these newer games FAB, Digimon, One Piece, Sorcery even Grand Archive I at least see people playing. Best thing to do with these newer games is to play them, I play FAB it’s pretty fun. With what I have learned following this channel I have also been able to play on the cheap as well.

Great video. If I had to invest in the 1970's and 1980's comic books I would only buy Mega Key Price Variants in top grades (i.e. Star Wars #1, Iron Fist #14, Mega key Canadian Price Variants, Mega Key Australian Price Variants, Mega Key UK Price Variants but very selective with these, etc...)

[@DeltaFH]

A post-mordem series on various collectibles would be quite cool. Similar to the popular Death of a Game (video game) series on KZbin that examines all the factors around why a particular game failed. Likewise, I would really like to see more videos similar to the optimal collecting grade. I think its quite easy to look at how to invest as a high net worth individual, whether it be in the stock market or antiques and collectibles. However, there has to be plays to be made at all levels of it. Everyone else on KZbin tends to focus on the high end, leaving out the smarter strategies for middle and the lower end.

[@zachariah7114]

Same, I’m curious how buying highly-rated but not the highest-rate cards works longterm.

[@foilmajestic1168]

I don’t know about other people. But I made a substantial profit off of Metazoo. Granted, I sold out maybe 18 months ago. I had been a collector and then finally played the game. I felt it was so bad that I determined to sell it all.

[@ThrashinHD]

Damn I’ve been looking for this channel forever lol ever since 2019 when the Rudy’s came out thinking cardboard was a viable investment instrument. Love playing tcgs but no doubt this party is about to end and the hangover is going to be real 😂

[@audrisampson]

"Speculation is the root of all evil" I don't think wiser words have been said in the TCG hobby. I'm one of the weird ones that just play tcgs for a hobby. Over the 20+ years ive been playing and running events Ive watched many games die and people get burnt for "investing" in these games. What makes it worse is that the investing also tends to take over the game and completely ruin it. The game I play went from mainly players to collectors/investors. I miss the old days where people asked about a deck list or a card ruling instead of now posting how much their PSA skab is worth. I think those slab folks are missing out so badly. Playing the game lets you meet new friends and in my case travel the country. That seems way more fufilling then sitting in your basement surrounded by dusty carboard holding you slab like gollum holding his precious. Ty for trying to stop the timmies!

[@Purtle28]

Hey Shawn, I know sometimes you will buy looking to "flip" in a short time frame. What is the point where you tend to make these flips. Is it based off a %gain if sold, timeframe from release, a %gain and then try to almost do a stop-loss% after that point? I imagine it's not just one thing but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. On a tangential note, I have noticed in past videos you've shared items such as limited edition pokemon X/Y 3DS, or your 2DS up on the bookshelf in this video. Perhaps these could serve as an example to the questions above? Or are these completely different, "medium" time frame items you look to sell? Great stuff as always 👍

[@theendofmyropemydude]

Something that i feel always gets overlooked is that the pressure to invest often means that guys who have absolutely no business investing are balls deep in it. People will sink 1000 dollars into metazoo boxes and thats their life savings. They work at mcdonalds or something and have a room mate or three. You need to have significant income before investing becomes worth your time. You'll probably have an emergency that makes you liquidate your assets early, losing money in the process, if you dont earn enough at your day job.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Correct!

[@JB-wc9cr]

Thanks Shawn, the guys who don’t get it may get it one day. I was a Timmy a coupe years ago

[@hvr8463]

Another big problem we have is that there are also too many people making content about "investing" in pokemon, comic books and other pop culture collectables. More importantly, platforms like youtube are designed to give you more of what you watched. So these Timmys are stuck in a bubble because the Shawns in the world, do not show up often enough in their feeds to give them that slap of reality.

[@Arx7424]

Great insight on metazoo shawn. Always appreciate your take on pop culture stuff. Just to tickle your brain a bit, if hypothetically Flesh and Blood does become more populate with collectors, do you see Gold Foils becoming more collectible than Cold Foils from the first 2 sets (WTR/ARC)? Gold foils were produced in limited quantities of between 25-50 while CFs from the first 2 sets are a lot higher. GFs are worth a lot more due to quantity but forced scarcity is strong on this whereas CFs from the first 2 sets are a bit more organic since no one expected this game to become popular at launch so the company set a print number and ran with it. Would love to hear your insight on this type of scenario.

[@leehaskins307]

I’ve never heard the 30 year rule to establish a collectable… the first pokemon cards were in japan around 1996… that makes them pretty close to that mark.. what is ur thoughts on those first year first edition pokemon cards in 1999 distributed to the USA…?

Pokemon is vintage the problem is modern is selling at a higher price and reprints same with Yugioh. These games are made to be played and cater to players not collectors.

Hey Shawn, what are your thoughts on the One Piece TCG? Personally, as a fan of the anime, I do feel there’s a lot more organic collectibility in this game then there was with Metazoo. But I recently saw a video that someone was talking about some special pack that people are asking $55k for, which seems absurd considering how new the game is. It’s starting to feel like another pump and dump by the investor bros. Which is a shame since I do feel there is genuine interest from the One Piece fans.

They never had any intention to be a good CCG. It was a cash grab, plain and simple.

[@hartspot009]

It wouldnt have mattered in the long term what MZ did. It is, as Shawn said over and over, MANUFACTURED SCARCITY. "Limited Edition" is the red flag to run from. Why? It can be any number the manufacturer wants (but doesnt tell you). Example= a "limited" edition can be 2 million items. Its limited to 2 million. Something to think about. Beware!

[@ValariaxSword]

@@hartspot009, I mean it was a quirky and unique idea. I can’t think of any other card games where you can play with Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monster. The issue I think was that they were so intent on being an IP with slapping their logo and characters on every conceivable object that the game itself took a back seat. Would it ever have been investable? Personally, I’d say no but it could have been a fun game with a dedicated fan base if they focused on gameplay instead.

[@ssolytinaS]

Mother of all evil isnt speculation, its lack of knowledge on the asset and proper risk/reward assessment. If you have a clear understanding of what something could be if successful and what it also means if not successful, this will allow you to manage risk to potential reward. Meaning trading 80hrs of your time means potential loss of 80hrs of work aka paycheck, while if successful could be 10x or more time gained. Bitcoin was an easy assessment in 2019 at 3.5k/bitcoin ..having zero speculations results in zero time gained. Having greed and lack of knowledge results in a gamble and loss of all time.

[@ReservedInvestments]

You are 100% correct in your analysis.

[@yubl10]

Since this video is about metazoo, I will say that I would probably never have bought any metazoo products while they were still a live company because people were using it as an investment and driving prices way to high. I've bought some metazoo cards now because the game is pretty much dead. I know a lot of people don't like metazoo because of the art and the fact it was also tied to crypto. I'm not a fan of speculators, but I guess people gotta make money even if it's in a scummy way. Also, metazoo started during the pandemic, which was kind of like a bubble that has now burst. That's my thoughts on this metazoo stuff. Yeah, investing in collectibles is a huge gamble because it's not very stable.
