My biggest regret when it comes to TCG flipping was to have missed the 40k commander sets. I just started to pick up MTG right at that time (because of these decks, since I'm also a 40k fan), and I barely managed to get a 4 pack at 300 bucks for my own use. If I was there for the announcement of that thing, I would have bought as much as possible of these while they were at their preorder price.

[@monkey39128]

I just checked the UK markets and they've shot up here to. Guess that's one for my regret list as well. Ah well, live and learn.

[@Pers0n97]

@@monkey39128 Yeah... It really hit me when I went to my LGS and aw him selling them between 150 and 120 buck each.

[@reidyoung298]

That is epic. I can say that I've just been steadily grabbing a mix of everything and that was a nice little boon to cancel out the smoke show that has been the short-term results of the last year. Just think of it this way, you're here now and the next 40K is out there one of these times, as is the next Baulder's Gate. The math of high variance assets with a risk of ruin of less than zero is pretty awesome. It is going to be tough to be upset by much of this in 5-10 years, and I do think that that's the lesson, along with doing some (naive, for me) forecasting work on these products and keeping an eye out for what is releasing, when, why, and how the prices move. It is another fun wrinkle in the hobby of CCGs for sure. If 14 year old me knew what was happening with my CCG collections now, he would be like brooooo what? 😂

Blimey I didn't realise it had been that long. It's basically an established TCG now then albeit still a somewhat niche one.

[@jamesstewart2303]

Where is it played? I remember this getting less table time than cardfight, even after people discovered the latter boosters were being easily weighed on a jeweler scale and the whole price bottomed. FfVii stuff ended up being sold at a loss at my old local.

[@lotoex]

Rudy I am still holding my bags and planning to add to them over time. I might want to sell out to you in like 10 or 15 years. That is one problem as well as storage. Right now I am about 3 or 4 years into this and things are really piling up. It makes me think that stocks are just a better way for most people to go. I love hording carboard, but now sitting on 26 set/booster boxes of Magic, 16 flesh and blood boosters, 14 force of will boosters and almost 30 commander decks, it makes me nervous to add more. Also before really taking count I thought I had like maybe 2,000-2,400 in sealed product.

[@PokemonHolo]

Good points, but I'm only gonna do Pokemon when it comes TCG's/CCG's. Used to be into Funkos, but I got out of it when the fakes started being made. My love for the items made me buy good stuff and I wouldn't have the same love for other things. So I wouldn't make the same good buys or learn enough to understand the related market. Only downfall with buying stuff you love is that it's so much harder to sell even if you are 10x. Specially if you have more limited funds and didn't buy multiples of the same item. Got to make choices and money I spend on say Magic the Goodering I can't spend on Pokemon anymore. Diversifaction I suppose is in the other things I own

I've been wondering whether to diversify further. Take Metazoo for example. Don't really like it, the art looks awful to me and I don't think it has much of a future. However, I have decided I should be holding a small Metazoo position just incase I'm wrong. Same with FAB except with that one I think it'll survive.

[@KyleBaran90]

The artstyle reminds me of gen 1 pokemon, but with cryptids. I think that's the niche it has. I like Sorcery's art, definitely want some of it too.

@@labutter420 Forgot about YGO somehow. Is there much of a demand for old boxes? I heard each set is usually full of power creep, and then the offending cards get banned just in time for the next set to roll out and the cycle repeats. But I haven't played it for a very very long time.

The pandemic era easy money contributed to spikes in prices as well. Collectibles will rise over time due to supply, demand and nostalgia. It’s also a bit like collecting art.

[@SamJones1337]

I don't like the collector box example because we don't have a ton of history with collector boxes. They also aren't holding up as good, like with CL2 example, as compared to draft. So long as they are just reprinting and adding 8 billion variations of every card, how do we know collector boxes are going to perform like booster boxes of the past. Incidentally this is why I'm more bullish on draft boxes than set boxes long term. At least you can play with draft boxes.

[@monkey39128]

I agree. I just don't get the Collector boxes. £200-300 for 12 barely collectible packs is a joke. Like you said at least the Draft boxes are useful.

[@reidyoung298]

I imagine collection and set boxes to be higher variance and lesser known returns of the same sets. So if you have maybe $1k for a set, seems like 4 draft, 2 set, 1 collector could be nice. Trying to predict what's happening at buy time doesn't seem that helpful, but using what we know to estimate longer term variance and EV helps with diversification.

[@petrseghman4283]

@@monkey39128 I have to disagree. It all depends on the set, the cards in, the variants (is there Neon Ink variant? Is there a serialized chance? Powerful new, hardly reprintable cards?) and many more. No way that Dominaria Remastered will have better performing Draft (the draft ain't too fun) than collectors.'. the Collector's are STUFFED with great shit..
