People have no idea the gems this channel is dropping this is stuff that Kevin O leary promises and charges 30k a lunch for and you end up learning nothing from Kevin. This channel brings the goods

Thanks for opening my eyes on the pitfalls with Pokemon investing. Perhaps it wasn't what I wanted to hear, but the fundamental investment principles are often not discussed.

[@shinygiveaways1920]

pokemon is printed too much

[@MetalBum]

Hey Shawn. Timmy here

[@Cal63235]

Poindexter here as well...reporting for stupidity

[@victorysla]

Hold my 🍺

[@ForeverChiIIin]

The Funko’s are worth it! You’ll see!

[@Mousevengeance]

When I was growing up poindexter used to mean a highly intelligent nerd.

[@MetalBum]

@@Mousevengeance lol

[@justinmercado1185]

Just this week I earned $1500 selling comics and toys. Nostalgia is a drug. To move forward in life, let go of the past. The super heroes are not going to stay with us to our graves

[@jabezcreed]

The comic boxes might become a grave

[@Mousevengeance]

Same, i used to buy and flip comics on the movie hype, and people would pay 3x what I paid for the books. Strange world

[@gregorychiasson7739]

Just wanted to acknowledge this is one of the best channels I’ve stumbled across in a long time for the collectibles and investing categories… you bring facts even if the jelly donut hurts!

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you! 🙏

[@tomneijnens4048]

Thank you very much

[@hartspot009]

I can't help but think of the Cabbage Patch Doll , Longaberger Baskets, and Franklin Mint items. Each one the classic markets you illustrate here. Thanks again Shawn for these fantastic vids

[@Mousevengeance]

Currently reading 'the psychology of money', it arrived today and is a good read so far Shawn. Not too keen on the author blowing smoke up the evil, fake "philanthropist" Gates' ass, however it's a very insightful, informative, and philosophical approach to finance and life in general.

[@bstoker9468]

Sweet!!!!! Was looking forward to this!

[@boxwi]

13:42 very good answer. Super Mario will cultivate the market long term, especially with additional movies, but not create a spec frenzy. I expect huge box office numbers and additional films coming like you suggest.

[@MikePfunk]

I love how you mentioned the redpill, its really nuts.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Agreed!

[@jedirun]

congrats on 14K, well earned :)

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you!

@@ReservedInvestments "No one ever got an emotional attachment to an s and p 500 fund" that is one of the greatest finance quotes I have ever heard lol

[@RealTechGeek]

I use too really loathe this dude but he is absolutely right and no doubt the spock of the collective community the voice of reason.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thanks to the predicted downturn of the collectibles market from the pandemic highs, I get a lot of emails that start out like this, almost on a daily basis…

[@RealTechGeek]

@Reserved Investments I only got introduced too you from another pokemon KZbinr in December 2022. Well it's different for me because I am an investor stocks cyptro silver and gold I've held for years. I'm still buying comics and cards but never ever going too pay insane prices.

[@RealTechGeek]

@@ReservedInvestments I mean a lot of those comics like Giant Size X-Men #1 Amazing Spider-man 129 Hulk 181 I bought all of that in 2014 got in at ground prices and yeah sold at the high.

[@ReservedInvestments]

He who speaks the truth is always hated. I don’t take it personally unless they really, really insult me or cut me up.

[@eirvingdiaz7185]

5:07 100% correct

[@justinthiltgen2483]

Glad to see your channel growing. Started following you in the hundreds! Keep going man

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you!

[@sp123]

8:50 to 9:00 is how you know you bought something valuable. If you think you cant get it back then it is rare and has demand.

[@rgtxkent3850]

Congratulations brother . Keep up the good work.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you!

[@JC-dg6vo]

Nice master class. Cool

[@penguinlust6749]

Amazon should send you a check for all the books you sell for them -- more reading!

[@dustinandrews7409]

Emotional toughness in this trade will bring you profit. If you actually understand the market.

[@arielrodriguez-hw8hn]

Now I want to know about that coin

[@reelfishermen1521]

Maybe think about keeping the coin and selling your other stuff that you can always get back.

[@b4r0n5a84n]

Graded bus pass collection, coming up!

[@oldhickory42]

I love watching you talk shit haha....timmie, Kimmie, and poindexter! Lol

[@ReservedInvestments]

Thank you.

[@laxlyfters8695]

15:50 you all heard it here first the Mario Movie could be a first step into more Nintendo Movies and then we can have a avengers style Movie that will tie in a Super Smash Bros scenario amazing how Shawn connects the dots. This Mario movie is phase one. Nintendo already doing a Mario Land amusement park

[@hartspot009]

I happened upon a Funko Pops collector vid and saw how much these guys believe they are sitting on goldmines. I can also see where any kind of caution or naysaying against the Funkos are falling on deaf ears

[@jabezcreed]

Even the vast majority of Marvel movie fans don't buy a single new comic, much less a vintage comic. But comic book fans buy comic books when their favorite character is in a movie. And I think most of the MCU hype is 90 percent speculators buying and selling among each other. Think about it, if I'm a Spider-Man fan, I am not waiting for his movie to buy my comic book. If I never knew White Bunny was a character before she was announced for a movie, and I run out to buy her first appearance, I am a speculator or fool.

[@johnsanders7599]

Hi. Just found your channel. I’m a collector and not an investor. Can you explain how you come up with optimal investment grade for comics? I’m sure that you have probably done this before. If you have, please let me know what video it is? Thanks a lot.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Yes, if you search across my channel on KZbin, and search by Optimal Collecting Grade, the original video I did several years back should come up…here is the original video’s link: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4Obg3t-mbGgjck

[@daleamaral5195]

Hello, lm new to your channel, you offer a lot of valuble information. its appreciated. I have a question, do you invest in Gold or Silver.Age Marvel or DC comics. I have approximately 4,500 comics from those eras.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Yes, high grade silver and golden age keys that are graded.

[@daleamaral5195]

Thank you for the info, lts going to be a long process going through CGC getting these graded. But, then l will no exactly what they are worth.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Depends if they are worth grading. I do offer consulting services if you need my help. Shameless plug, I know…

[@daleamaral5195]

Thank you, l will keep that in mind.

[@lowrollerscratcher3563]

Do you see one watch sold 5.8 million dollars auction today. It is on the news. It mean Timmy and kimmy start buying watchers since they heard a expensive watch sold today.

[@ReservedInvestments]

Saw it!

[@PaulRockey]

We would love to see that 50K coin you bought, and the Star Wars collection you bought last year. …And more red-pill dating commentary, please. Lol

[@VinnyDaGinny92]

Shawn, you keep mentioning how funko destroyed all that product like that proves you are right about funko…you realize they did it for tax purposes and all the items were from a failed funko line. Companies do this all the time.

[@jabezcreed]

It just means they aren't inherently valuables. They are collectibles of the moment, and that moment is quickly fading.

[@alfredocamba1995]

Vinyl Chloride toxic garbage they should fined & jailed minimum not tax write off

[@ReservedInvestments]

I didn’t say that at all actually, that’s your flawed analysis. I’m saying they don’t have organic collectibility. The destruction of their own product is just icing on the proverbial cake.

[@mangoman9290]

I have watched alot of your videos in the last 2 days (which I have enjoyed) and I wonder if you consciously had to learn to be as animated as you are with your hand gestures or are you naturally very overt in your gestures?

[@ReservedInvestments]

Interesting question, and I’ll answer: what you see from any KZbinr is generally an over-exaggerated expression of their personality. So can I be hyper and almost ‘manic’ in real life? Yes, at times. Am I always like that? No. However, if I came to KZbin and just casually talked about a lot of these topics no one would care. Therefore, I up-play my insanity…but it’s still me. I do tend to talk with my hands, as I’m part Italian (lol).
