Best tip - buy singles‼️🔥💥

Agree. Don’t buy packs chasing rares to invest. Unless you just ripping for the hobby of it. You’ll end up opening 10 boosters to get the card you could of bought outright for the price of 3 booster

Worst tip actually. The singles market fluctuates too widly, there is so much more risk involved. Sealed booster boxes NEVER lose value, the worst they can do is not gain value, you can always sell them for at least what you paid for them if you bought them at retail, but the potential gains are massive.

@@ViolentRainbowit’s a good tip if you want the card. Also with your point of sealed product going up that is actually a point for buying singles so that you can keep your packs sealed so they can hold value.

@@MrAmadeus1998 That's only a point if you have no self control, I'm certainly not going to be ripping into my sealed investments. As for single cards again I tried that, and it very rarely pays off to any of of level that negates the risk and potential losses involved. The single market is just a roller coaster of ups and downs, and generally results in a massive crash that can last for years and years and years and years. You have to put way more money into single cards to earn the kind of returns you are basically guaranteed from sealed booster boxes. Imagine you spent $300 on that super popular new card everyone loves, just to see it drop to $80 in 4 months and flat line for years. DEVASTATING. DEPRESSING. CRUSHING. Imagine if instead you spent that $300 on two of the popular new booster box that just came out, it's only going to go up, no depression, no crushing, no devastation.

Not necessarily. You never know, sometimes a card might be in a pop movie one day and it sky rockets. Life can be weird like that. But yeah a top 5 chase card of a set is better.

You could put the argument differently. Betting on one card rising in price is actually foolish. Even safe bets can burn you. So having a portfolio of cards can be a safer bet. A psa 10 greninja will likely be an easier sell in the future than some random IR. But the demand for the card might dwindle and you find yourself holding a card worth 100$ that you paid 700 for.

I agree with this comment. A lot of people equate this to buying penny stocks, if it hits its gold. But unlike penny stocks you can’t get rid of 100x $5 cards at once if there is no demand for it. You can if you are willing to sell them all low enough for the next person to still make a profit off of. At that point it’s the same as buying a hot more expensive product and let 100 people fight over it at 90% comp. Also not to mention most people would prefer staring at 1 single Moonbreon than 200x $5 singles. The idea is great but practicing this is extremely hard and impractical.

I was arguing with people before who think buying vintage is a smart play. Their prices are pretty stagnant and it's for yourself. And keeping the packs sealed are much more valuable than ripping them. It's funny though, I have that Slowking card as well and it's one of my favorites. That, Blaine's Moltres, and my Neo Espeon I will probably never sell.

I wonder if we will see that with Surging Sparks booster boxes. I'm new to the investing side of Pokemon but as you said in the video, that you're better off buying when the hype and scalpers wear off. But Surging Sparks just seems so crazy it's hard for me to believe that booster boxes would go back to MSRP. But again, I'm new to this so maybe this is typical

Are you worried about the supply and demand curve of pokemon? The supply is sooo high! There are over 64,000,000,000 cards in circulation right now. The number of unique cards in all sets and all languages say we take the high end of 30,000. That's, on average, 2m copies of each card. Obviously, the math is flawed, but you catch my drift, right? The only people buying these 2k+ cards are other YTers/shop owners, and they accumulate so many. Sooner or later, prices will plummet, its basic economics. Would love to hear your opinion on this, especially since you're in the investing space! Thanks!

My raw singles collection consist of about 6-8 that are on display that I can see every day & ONE high quality binder. That binder had a mixture of vintage & modern IR/SIRs including my Base Set Master that im working. If that binder fills 🤷‍♂️, it means its time to get rid of stuff. My "investments" will always consist of top quality slabs & sealed products

I think starting out we have all made a lot of mistakes. Hopefully we learn from. I definitely did. I used to open way more packs than I should and I would consider buying cards during hype versus waiting a couple months after release. There are a lot of people out there also that decide to grade with random companies like you mentioned or grade cards knowing they won’t get that 10.

Mistake 4 is so true, knowing the scheme of the market and understanding what’s happening in real time is one thing but looking at long term can be hard when it becomes emotional. “Oh I love this set I need to get it now” but is that really what you need? Can you enjoy it when it’s actually more feasible? It’s all personal at the end of the day but such good lessons to talk about it in this video. Keep up the great content as always man, merry Christmas to you and the fam and happy holidays! 🎄🎊🎉

Mistake 4... all investors are scalpers. Short term and long term "scalpers". Short term "scalpers" are also investors with a shorter investment cycle. Like day traders on the ASX.

new to the hobby, i have a few preorders on prismatic evolutions around 70 packs total. do you think as someone who wants to collect the set I would be better off opening all of it or should I save some to resell. I'm guessing prismatic will stay high for the short term but after a year or so will come down in price, so I would think it would just be better to get in then if I want to invest rather than collect. would love to hear your advice!

I want to sell right at the peak as preorders for a single Pokemon center etb is like 200 bucks, which means that stamped promo is going to go buck wild. But I’m just going to sell my stash for more Pokemon cards haha.

I have my motherload of holds but I also sell product that pays for my pack openings. 90% of the cost of the packs im opening is by flipping 151 currently, I'm using the demand and sacrificing the desire of me opening it and keeping it, taking those funds and opening "less desirable sets" and that money goes further in those sets becuase prices are lower.

Do you think in 3 to 8 years Pokemon pocket will replace physical cards no more being made. Pocket sales has been good it literally getting rid of scalpers because you can’t sell the pack or card that’s the whole point for Pokemon TCG is collect and trade and resell products high…that’s means new collectors will want to get physical cards and sealed products for the nostalgia like a penny common cards can go up to $5 maybe $10 because there are not prints being made
