Been following you for 2 years. You’re my favorite KZbinr. I agree with you 90% of the time. Not always. But have always loved your videos. This is the best video you have ever put out and it’s not close. Thank you for this. Love to hear the story. Also I know short videos get more views but longer once would be nice every now and then a lot of us do a lot of desk work. Being able to just listen like a podcast. This video was just 🔥 happy for you man. And happy for us that you’re here. Cheers bro

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Really appreciate this. Also thanks for the feedback. Thanks for all the support!

Ouch! Hope you learned from that for future holds.

When did you sell?

Was great hearing your background in the hobby, Alex. I'm the same age as you, wish I'd got back into the hobby when you did 😆✌️

[@AndrewLe69]

awesome vid! love these long formats!

[@patrickdimech1971]

Crazy to hear you talking about selling a business at 25 and thinking about the financial side of your hobbies. At that age I was a complete fuck up with no ambition, working a shit job, squandering what little money I had as well as already being in debt. Man, if I could go back in time...

[@NostalgiaNomics]

🤣 Hey I'm sure you had a good time and some good memories though

[@jorylane5417]

Been a fan since before you left and came back months later. I'm glad you did great info 👍

[@NostalgiaNomics]

That's a long time. Appreciate you sticking around!!

Troll and toad sell off story was awesome. Thanks for sharing that!

Cool story about Troll & Toad! Hope to run into ya at CS sometime. I’m there semi-frequently also.

[@redironcollectibles5224]

Awesome story! I got back in through watching maxmoefoe pokemon in the summer of 2019.

[@cyrax83]

Great story more of these videos! Watched the whole thing

[@D4Cify]

the long videos are so chill i love them

[@lolianz]

My gf worked in a thrift shop and back in 2018 they got a bunch of old Pokémon cards donated, so my gf bought them for me for 5€. Lots of base set, jungle and fossil holos in pretty bad condition. I put them in my old binder and figured I could probably sell them in the future. I got into investing 1½ month ago and was able to trade them for 2 151 japanese boxes.

[@benjaffe9428]

Love the straight forward honesty and modesty. Keep at it Alex!

[@gloryus8892]

Great story! Stayed for the whole thing. I love slice of life content

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Appreciate that!

[@Teacherguy06]

Wow, amazing story. I stayed till the very end .I'm inspired to see where this Pokémon sealed investment passage takes me. I'm coming from comics and sports cards, so collecting is in my blood.

[@TurbosPokeShop]

Appreciate you, I'm actually working tho🤔

[@jpqt]

He just called us all poors

[@EazyEarn88]

[@dragonballfan420]

Same. I have close to 6k worth of raw cards tho. Just pulled a hyper rare miraidon from scarlet and violet base watching this.

[@JediMasterT]

for $100 for base/jungle and fossil , yea I wouldn't be worried about that either lol.

[@ColtonWilson3000]

Ya the whole craze of older bigger better never made sense to me, lots of bought net the top and got burned. True investment in anything for profit was always buy low and sell high. And the best way to do that in Pokémon ? Buy pre release or at release for low, and hold it.

[@camranz4943]

Loved your story looking forward to your continued success

[@NostalgiaNomics]

@camranz4943 I appreciate that. Thanks for watching

[@SlvrBckTCG]

We’re at a point where vintage is a loss to get into unless you’ve already had it when it was loss 10ys ago or you can get it at a low dirt price.

[@brockthetaco8788]

Yo great video and story. Really puts the whole hobby into a wider perspective and I appreciate that

[@FrozenShadoW918]

"I know you're not working anyway", true.

[@billly3478]

Just got back to pokemon this year because of your videos and love your philosophy on sealed and holding it long term. Been doing it for stocks For example In 2013 i bought $30,000 worth of apple shares and have it to this day. Back then it was around 450 a share but with all the splits I averaged at $25 a share. Currently worth over 250k and going to pass those shares and pokemon sealed to my kids in 40 years lol

Loved this video you have really helped me out this year but I’m sure I’ll see a edited 1 on opossum buds videos 😂 100 percent it will be his next vidio poke positive 😂but my story I didn’t know it was cheaper to buy cards so I ripped so many packs trying to complete paldean fates so many doubles lol 😂 and collected 151 meet your Chanel and fort rather then spend 1000s try to make some back to spend on my collection but you really have helped me as I have asked a fair thew quistions and you always awnser honestly I’m a student in the game and your the teacher and I’ll be honest you get it bang on everytime you just get lucky 😂 must just be lucky great Vid Alex I need my first case in the hobby since about November last year

Really appreciate it brother. Glad to hear you have been enjoying the hobby and the vids have been helping along the way. Thanks for all of the continued support!

[@ColinsSneakerLounge]

Always with the good information!

[@finksworld]

Great video! Love to hear about the old days of the hobby.

[@joseph1895]

I remember in the early 2000s buying a couple first edition fossil packs off eBay. They were around $20 each. Ended up opening them because I didn’t think they would go up in value so much. Apparently they were weighed but back then I had zero knowledge. I just thought it would be cool to rip open some childhood booster packs.

[@matthewrule1884]

Just discovered your channel and love the balance between love for pokemon and passion for finance! I just made the decision yesterday to start getting into collecting and/or flipping. Where and what do you recommend I start learning so I can grow like you have?

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Glad you found the channel and thanks for watching. That's a hard question. There is a lot of good Info out there but also a lot of bad and it can be hard yo determine in the beginning. I would say just take in info, ask questions, and research the data on how other like things have done over time si.ilar to what you are buying. I have a free discord link in the description which is a good place to be a part of with others to ask questions and things like that.

[@hello1234887]

Alex, I love your videos. It would be great if you could do a series such as starting with $1,000 and then document what you trade/why you making the plays. A lot of people would appreciate it I’m sure!

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Ya I couldn't. The only problem is it would be over long periods of time with shipping and finding the next play or grading which may not make for the best content to following along with. Not as exciting as a stock trading channel lol
