Base Set Pokemon Cards Were A Bad Investment? 2021 VS 2023

[@dawidroter3652]

Best investment in 2021 you could have made was japanese promos

[@jamesgraves9858]

I bought a Zekrom SR competition promo for $41. Lmao everyone was snoozing

[@Flowmaster925]

50th anniversary gona be off the heezee, bet

[@cafe100mph6]

Right now is the best time to buy vintage, such low pop, and condition rarity.

[@FlickSwitchGo]

People don't care about rarity or low pop. People want good artworks and popular Pokemon, simple as that.

[@Cloverhope23]

@@FlickSwitchGo Then why are the most expensive Pokemon cards rare and low pop??

[@FlickSwitchGo]

@@Cloverhope23 Do you think the majority of people would rather something expensive that looks boring or something cheap that looks great? That's the difference between most investors and collectors.

[@Cloverhope23]

@@FlickSwitchGo people want what is expensive, rarity makes things more expensive? Vintage is VERY boring, not colorful, but very expensive because it is rare especially in good condition. Almost every card pulled today is at least a PSA 9, and every card today is instantly sleeved. Collectors of the past were way more careless.

1st edition shinings

[@madlad847]

love how those wotc hype gurus from 2021 got humbled

[@cafe100mph6]

Literally nothing has held peak covid price.

[@cafe100mph6]

Vintage is now a good time to buy. Buying the top of covid hype was never a good choice, just like buying crypto during the peak.

[@MetalBum]

Unless it drops 90% from here 😅😅😅

[@dellstudio10]

You’re right! That’s why I’m buying cards and crypto now. Perfect time to buy at these bottoms or darn near the bottom. Can’t go wrong at these prices.

[@Peeweez0]

Agreed but it's tough to know when the top was at the time - it could have just been the middle from people at that time. The market is a fickle mistress

[@doctorgap]

At least with crypto we can dca into bitcoin daily, can't dca fractional shares of a 1st edition Charizard haha

[@luisalejandro6408]

Im between a PSA 8 base set Zapdos, PSA 8 rocket's Moltres from Gym Heros and a PSA 9 Poliwrath from Base Set 2. Im from Mexico so I dont have the chance to buy PSA graded cards appart from eBay. Those 3 cards are around 45-50 dolars so this is my question: Which card should I buy? At least to start my collection from vintage cards

[@benjamindean7536]

2021? Wasn't there a big market upward spike about that time?

[@xileets]

Do we still see lower auction prices on PWCC *marketplace* as we did in the recent past? If so, is this truly an apples to apples comparison, as many of those 2021 prices were from ebay marketplace?

[@ryanclark9386]

I have a base set unlimited Charizard pack do you think it's worth getting the pack graded?

[@joshualongie2209]

I would tell everyone to start collecting Team Rocket set it's going to skyrocket in the Future!!

[@manumuck4628]

Prices from japanese pokekyun (Generations Radiant collection) going crazy

[@chislands]

Pretty sure any collectable you bought in 2021 was waaaay over inflated. If you bought during the height of the market you are most likely upside down today.

[@yamamoto800]

Japanese promos would like a word

[@RahanUllah]

We need a two year update on this video

[@5gods]

Every card is unique . The $15,000 shadowless holo might have amazing coloring that the one selling for $8000 might not . When you see a card don’t worry about the price worry about the future value of it which will someday be so much higher

[@CharmelionZard]

That’s the problem though. No one knows what the market will decide what’s valuable or not, and if/when Pokémon sets get rereleased flooding the market with more product. It’s all a gamble.

[@CharmelionZard]

If you just collect as a fan and get doubles then you’ll be sure to hit a jackpot sometime in the future. But collecting to invest is a losing proposition out of the gate.

[@brandontsai4717]

Great video as always! ❤

[@luciousmorris1313]

Thanks again brother wish I had 1 of those cards in my collection but I do not !!!

[@Ritualz999]

If that zard that's currently up for bid doesn't clear 300 we are in for some trouble.

[@thisisobviously]

It sold for 250k last year and 270k September 2021

[@MetalBum]

Loved this run down thanks for showing the numbers. Good presentation too. 😊😊

[@jamesgraves9858]

I did a video comparing 2020 to 2021 and 2023. If you got in in 2021 you are doing bad but in 2020 you'd be making out right now. They aren't a bad investment, just people chose the wrong time to buy.

[@eddyrivera7287]

They aren’t bad investments? Lmfao people losing thousands of dollars on cards they thought were going to appreciate in value is definitely a bad investment bruh. Business 101

[@Djsonley]

Still going for some crazy prices. I wouldn't say these prices are low. They are realistic.

[@joshualongie2209]

In the future these vintage pokemon cards will be worth it if your collection is amazing like MINE!!!!¡

[@Rabbit-x8f]

it will only keep dropping future gen don't have nostalgic + old ppl will start to dump for retirement

[@joshualongie2209]

Pokemon in the future will be about the Art and the Artists because their going to be be very famous

[@FlickSwitchGo]

Completely agree. Artwork is the most important thing.

[@diamondhandspokemon5918]

Nice one

[@saturninebear]

thank you

[@tcgtonysamazingpulls]

Venu was cut in half and still overweight!

[@Alma-B]

psa 10 1st ed wotc is way too good... until that modern shit 🤣🤣

[@MetalBum]

Dropped a lot of value. Pokémon is going down more I noticed. Vintage too.

[@Axe_z33]

It will go back up eventually

[@samanthagray3201]

🔥

[@JaceCollectibles1126]

Best time to buy now. Everything is crashing. Max out credit! “Not financial advice” 😂

[@Blastboost86]

Zard is well overrated

[@Axe_z33]

But it will remain solid in holding value

[@Blastboost86]

@@Axe_z33 people who went a little too deep are getting burned bad by Zard. “Pun intended” lol 😆 The lizard has been overrated. People are growing tired of this lizard.

[@pokemercenary6511]

ALL markets are in decline. Stock, crypto, credit - so, why not Pokemon?

[@dizzyvalentine8045]

Blame Logan Paul lmao

[@rdrrdr6753]

craaap nothing was a good investment in 2020-2021 🤣🤣🤣 don't let modern "shi...ehm collectors" speculate on wotc
