Rudy doesn't use a microwave, he cooks his food in a fire of Revised rares. The burning Belgian ink imparts a smoky flavor to his tacos.

[@erkfx4154]

Probably all of these mega youtubers who are opening the extremely expensive packs. They’re probably investing in all of the less expensive packs while getting everyone back into pokemon. The kids who watch people like Logan Paul or whoever are probably asking their parents for cards, and those same parents grew up collecting cards when they were kids in the 90’s or early 2000’s and want to get back into it themselves, so the demand is just skyrocketing. I really wouldn’t be surprised if mega youtubers were secretly invested in the smaller packs.

Here we are in 2022 and big box stores still can’t keep shelves stocked. And shockingly they are printing even more than ever compared to what they printed in X&Y era. Pokemon is king right now in TCGs even in sword and shield era. The number of cards graded by PSA shows pokemon is the top dog. How long will it last? Who knows but it’s been a fun ride.

Hi, I did the same since the End of 2020, now I invest approximately 1k each month in new sealed Pokemon Products. I started from zero (befor I was a student) now 2 and a half Years later i have approximately 60k. It still worked. My Goal is to have over 1 Mio. in these Products, maybe in 10 Years. I hope :)

[@Platelunchexpress]

@@philippzachmann9416 yep. It’s so simple too, you don’t even have to watch the market. One thing I suggest you do is go to your local shows buy cheap packs and rip them, might get a good hit or under value card and you’re also helping, stabilize the market and raise the product of your sealed investment

Pokémon is a long term investment thing. U cant expect to make a quick buck with them except when there is some super rare stuff going on, but then u still need to pull that card. Literally everything with a super rare and expensive charizard card will be worth investing and holding on to.

Your instinct was right all along Rudy! I will say one thing, look up the base set price history and compare that to XY booster boxes and you might see an interesting pattern. Nostalgia is an incredible thing, if you can afford to wait for the current market to grow up, there might as well be gold in those boxes. HOLD LONG RUDY HOLD LONG.

did well with YGO & Legendary Duelists, got cocky and decided to try another game. Got burned really not knowing the demand of it. Wasted a few thousands of dollars on a Weiss set people really didn't want. Hard to diversify to other games.

[@rogertruong5751]

Same here to a certain degree. I mainly do Magic and Pokemon. Tried to do YGO. Legendary Duelists are slowly ticking up in price (happy about), Korean version of the "vintage" sets and Speed Duels are dead money at the moment. Should've placed the money elsewhere instead of YGO in my case.

[@501clonetrooper]

@@rogertruong5751 ygo is selling better than both mtg and pkmn at the moment. But you have to be deeply familiar with the game and have certain experience. Card texts are longer,hundreds of aechetypes, not to mention a very long anime makes ygo hard to fully grasp. Korean sets are always going to be disregarded since they are legaly only in korea and have censored art.

[@rogertruong5751]

​@@501clonetrooper The only reason why I picked out Korean versions is for the nostalgia factor and Speed Duels for old school simplicity (thought there would be like-minded individuals out there but I'm wrong on that part). True. I see Legendary Duelists starting to creep up alongside with Rising Rampage (first print of prismatic secret rares). Those in which I'm happy about.

[@rogertruong5751]

@@501clonetrooper What Weiss sets did you placed your money on? During the time I started placing money into YGO, I was also debating whether or not to dip my toe into Weiss.

[@501clonetrooper]

@@rogertruong5751 I bought Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel and Sword Art Online Alicization. 8 boxes each. Fate/Stay Night was an okay investment. Solid S Tier set. Alicization unfortunately not that good. I thought since SAO was airing and it was very popular anime, I thought Alicization was a good pick up. Turns out the set was underwhelming and people would rather buy Goblin Slayer or Fujimi. Also Weiss Schwarz was just way too expensive for casuals to get into. Very few players played it, and usually newer sets were stronger than current ones. My LGS still has cases of Alicization. Weiss just doesn't reprint to make it accessible, as a result, very few people cared. Stores barely buylisted Weiss. I stopped buying Weiss after that, and probably never will now that YGO got bigger. Also Weiss sets sort of powercreep old sets. No one is buying Accel World 2day. YGO basically has no set rotation, so cards are kind of always useful. The commons are very central cards and are pretty powerful in YGO. in Weiss, the commons are kind of worthless. Legendary Duelists take very long to reprint, not many vendors opened, and had very desireable deck cores. Reprint sets are also good. YGO has hundreds of archetypes and 5 anime series so it takes time to understand and grasp it. Not to hate on Pkmn, but set rotation I believed killed demand for X/Y sets.

[@ifarmer1344]

The multiple times he tossed packs on the ground or tossed them back into the box made me cringe so hard thinking of the psa value that was lost. That said I do enjoy your channel Rudy and I am doing a ton of studying before I open my store as well as build up inventory. I want to retire and sell cards as my career (chasing childhood dream) and then pass the business onto my 6 kids. Keep up the informative vids and I wish you well. Also I have only focused around Pokemon but I hear you talk a lot about magic and how the price seems to only go up for it so should I be gathering inventory of Magic as well right now or is that market to tough for starter ups?

[@djexwacky1390]

hii, A pokémon guy here. What happend? people got to much spare money. In this crisis people where sitting home and wanted to open booster packs and guess what... they did. The cards from base set to the end of the wizards of the coast erra on pokemon 4 times doubled in price. Those cards are starting to get "out of reach" just like alpha and beta enz. for magic. The sets that are 2-3 years old are starting to get a price increase like... i would say always. even the baddest black&white sets are hard to get. you did the right thing by just putting them away. keep doing what you do 👊

[@zacharylewis417]

I personally do the good old fashion if it has a Charizard its probably a good set to invest in. Look at XY series and the only set that has significant growth is Flashfire aka it has charizards in it... Of course some sets are good and have other popular cards or meta relevant cards. I'd highly recommend you look at the upcoming Darkness Ablaze set. I have no clue why ancient origins is at the price it is. I can understand phantom forces, furious first and flashfire but the rest I'm still confused on why they have risen. My current motto is buying sets at retail price. I got in at unbroken bonds, burning shadows and hidden fates. I'm a bit weary of current prices which is why I'm putting less in collectibles and more in stock.
