I keep coming back to the mindset of - being a collector FIRST is the best position to be when participating in collector's markets. If I end up overpaying for something, my mindset is always "oh well, cool piece in my collection." I don't really see it as a big loss... obviously not ideal but still a cool piece to add to the collection. The biggest benefactors of collector's markets will almost always be the collector's themselves because they learn and buy organically, not for the sole purpose of making money. All of my best "investment" pickups was stuff I bought because I wanted it in my collection, not with the sole purpose of selling it for profit in the future.

With how fragile things are in Europe concerning the economy with gas and heat rationing going on due to the war I wonder how many Europeans are participating in these graded games auctions. Things aren't as bad in North America and Canada compared to Europe. I believe it's a night and day difference because if North Americans and Canadians were getting rationed with gas and had to worry about heating their homes in the winter people would go into survival mode.

Wata is also part of the reason why it's happening right now. Wata got caught and a lot of gamers/collectors are finding out what,how, and why this is all happening now? Most people selling graded are not even gamers or collectors they are investors so if it comes crushing down next year they'll just go to the next quick fix of making that money. I still believe rare and hard to find games will always carry certain high values but from what we've seen over the last few years it won't come back my opinion.

The problem I see with WATA graded games is they're trying to make the used/retro game market into a stock market which is going fail because most wouldn't pay over a few thousand dollars for a sealed copy where there is no guaranteed results that they'll make more money if lucky they can break even. So the main point is these guys should focus when to sell just like the stock market because when something get popular again it better to cash out at that time.

@GetTheGreg2 жыл бұрын
The actual print variant is the same so I don't think people would differentiate it as a "pure first first", but rather just a variant that you can find of the first print. Depending on the time gap between pokemon yellow launching and the movie launching, perhaps it might even be a later variant of the first print? I'm not positive how those dates line up. It's really cool nonetheless!

Here’s my two cents. Nes super Mario sold over 67 million copies. Imagine if everyone graded all 67 million and tried to sell them at 500,000 a piece an impossible scenario for sure. Have to know your games know the very few out there that people would pay a premium for. Not every graded game is worth buying or grading for that matter. If I had the money I’d buy a cib nes little Samson at premium before I buy a yoshis island at premium. Know your games people know the games history and why it might be valuable. Every console only has a handful of truly rare special titles worth any price. Out of 3 or 4 thousand games maybe 20 can be considered highly sought and worth grading.

You're not as affected by market turns when you only buy things you want to keep, disregarding value. I gave in and cheaped out just as much lol. Personally, I think it was 50/50 sealed collectors and investors at the start of the boom, then got to 20/80, and maybe we're at 40/60 now. It depends on how you classify these people tho. Nobody wants to be called an investorino but I think more people than those who care to admit are still collecting with value in mind, in practice _collecting investments_ that can stay or go

Console games are going down... Computer games are going up. Facts. At the moment, the prices have increased 2-300% for game titles made in the mid 80's. Covid was a chance to get good deals before the shipment costs skyrocketed when ebay took over that part of the deal. UK prices has gone up a lot. US not as much, but still increased compared to pre-covid. The rest of the world is a mixed bag. I prefer Germany (if sellers send abroad) or Australia (good currency rate compared to USD/GBP/NOK) is a good region where you can score good deals. BIN are often heavy overpriced, just fishing for that one person who want that title NOW. And they are out there. Very picky, only buying already high valued games - stuff it if price is high. The 1970 generation has gotten good jobs, kids moved out & dad is working on his "mancave" of 80s stuff.

I love your macro perspective because you are helping collectors to speculators and everyone in between be more knowledgeable about collectible assets.

Although I'm not into graded games I do love sealed games I got sealed games they are like art and yes I do have the games I have sealed opened to play. I noticed the store owners say they don't sell and they even bundle it in as a special with other games I want and I love that. I saw one sealed Japanese game in a store for the Sega Dreamcast or Saturn I think It was going for like around $ 100.00 or under not graded looks cool the art. Cool video. ^_^

Inherently, yes. The market lives and dies depending on how much worth people want to attribute to them.

I think it’s absolutely hilarious That guy is one of the many idiots out there that was in the hobby only for the money. All us real collectors knew this was gonna crash. Wanna know why? Mainly because the games he was buying at high price were no where even near rare. Lol. Does he thing Mario rpg is a rare game? Nope. They made tons of them. Lol. I say the speculative idiots out there are getting exactly what they deserve. Great video and I love all your content. Keep up the great work.

You need to elaborate on the distinction between Mario Bros. And Super Mario Bros. Two totally different play experiences.
