IF YOU DON'T INVEST IN POKEMON CARDS... WATCH THIS!

[@HistoryofT]

While Pokemon has done better for me % -wise compared to stocks as well, you have to remember that with stocks, you "just" click sell, and it is done. Pokemon has a very different offloading time and focus needed.

[@axelhoogland9442]

Where or how do you generally sell? I agree the selling is a lot harder than selling a stock

[@kingg3640]

@@axelhoogland9442face book market place, local card stores and card showcases are all good places too sell

[@Fraxorus]

Pokemon isn't for everyday selling. It's a long run thing.

[@axelhoogland9442]

@@Fraxorus sure, but you still have to sell it sometime and when that time comes how would you do it

[@DavidPatrzeba]

@@axelhoogland9442 TCGPlayer, Ebay, Consignment, LGS, run your own website, expos/shows/vending. There are lots of places to sell, but they all come with their own fees and tradeoffs. That said, I would absolutely not invest in Pokemon until you have maxed out all of your tax advantaged accounts investing in the S&P500, QQQ, or a whole market fund

Hey PokeOz. Thank you so much for referencing us in the U.K. more. I’m not sure if my comment a few weeks back was a catalyst for this, but it’s amazing to see that you respect all your followers and do your best to involve everyone and make your content relevant to a worldwide audience. Absolutely love your content and keep up the amazing work!

[@pokeoz91]

No worries! Thanks for always tuning in

[@zuko7642]

Happy New Year mate. Thanks for a great year of content.

[@PokeCharla]

Solid advice just to recommend someone with spare cash to get their hands dirty by investing a small amount in Pokemon, stats are there to support the fact that providing you invest relatively wisely, you're going to see a nice return in the long run! Have a good New Year Oz and everyone else!

I’m up about 70 percent, only thing keeping me down is those dang charizard upcs. I picked up a bunch preorder from GameStop for the full 130 price cus I (like everyone ) thought we had another celebration upc on my hands, and they haven’t moved barely squat. All my success is from listening to you, nostalgia nomics and a few others. Love your channel !

The last few months have been great from the UK now there are no private sellar ebay fees! No tax or fees just a few quid shipping 😊

[@Lyciar]

Another great video mate. In regards to the “Flooding the market” sentiment, I believe that Lost Origin will be interesting to watch. It seems that everyone’s partner, grandmother and pet dog has a case of that sitting in their cupboard. It will be interesting to see if that will put downward pressure on the price as people take profit along the way. Especially if it has a Fusion Strike moment.

[@pokeoz91]

Definitely a good point, interesting to see what happens! Although, the amount that gets opened these days is also crazy. Happy new year!

[@axelhoogland9442]

How do you recommend the average guy sell stuff? eBay takes about 13% and you want to have a good rating or people won't buy. Hard to sell on Facebook with being in a smaller town.

[@Mattrz34]

You’re paying a % fee no matter what, if you sell off of Ebay your buyers aren’t giving you 100% market value, it’s all the same

[@Jed77777]

It is free to sell for private sellers, there are no final value fees now. If you’re not selling over 250/300 products a month you don’t get charged nothing now.

[@Jed77777]

Pulled off eBays website ‘It's free, easy and safe to sell on eBay for UK-based private sellers. You get 300 free listings every month, and you only pay fees for optional listing upgrades or if you deliver to an overseas address.’ Well it does say UK so I don’t know what other countries have going.

I’m finally going to have some more liquid finances that I plan on using to invest. One of the best things you always say is diversify your portfolio. Even if you invest a few percent of your income in Pokémon sealed BBs, you can see impressive gains in the long run. Happy new year Michael, Odin Son!

[@TreasurePlanetCollectibles]

I think your perspective is very interesting here. 2025 will be a big year for the pokemon industry of collecting, investing, and whether people like it or not, some of these products will never go back down to where they were before. Either get on the train and get ready for the ups and downs that come with any type of investing or don't. But, people are naive if they think pokemon investing can't be a serious investment.

[@KevinQuick-x8l]

[@jamesgraves9858]

Says "treasure planet collectibles." Lmao a little bias when your livelihood likely depends upon Pokémon. 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck with that

[@TreasurePlanetCollectibles]

@@jamesgraves9858 lol you seem fun ringing in the new year being a pessimist. Pokemon isn’t even the main thing I collect and this is just a hobby/side thing for me… plus as Michael and any other rational person in this industry says, this should be seen as just a small percentage of your investing portfolio and to hit all your tax-advantaged accounts and savings accounts first before you even touch this. But yeah man… my livelihood totally depends on whether shiny cardboard goes up in value

[@thebigbob-owser]

Happy new year mate, here's to another year

[@pokeoz91]

Happy new year!

[@rb3537]

I dont think you can compare investing in property to card investing. If you by a piece of property for (example) $100,000 and it goes up to $110,000, most people did not “make” 10%. Probably a 20% down payment, so you put 20% to control $100k, then factor in monthly payments and tax write-offs, you could have made 100% in 1 year. But this is just “paper” gains. Second, with stocks. Until you get a good foundation, stocks too should be for the long term. I still own KO and HD from the early 90’s, and still holding and collecting dividends. “Investing” in cards (pokemon, MTG, etc) is a 100% cash investment, meaning you cant buy $10,000 of pokemon for a $2,000 down payment (real estate or options). One has 100% skin in the game. Then for selling cards, there is a huge overhead, usually taking a 30-20% hit. If you have $10,000 in cards, to cash out you might get $7,000 to $8,000 cash, depending on demand, huge transaction cost.

Ridicoulous advise. TCGs are considered a high risk investment, and no one should jump onto it if they have never invest on anything before and do not understand basic markets fluctuations. Pokemon TCGs is an extreme niche market and is not reliable like a traditional market. DO NOT WASTE your money on Pokemon TCGs if you are looking to invest only. If you undertand and enjoy collecting them, then do it, but do not ever invest your money on what you do not understand. That goes for pokemon or anything in life.

Yeah go check the returns on pokemon vs your " traditional investments" over the last few years, flog take...
