Sell when the videos say prices are going up and buy when videos say prices are crashing - rinse and repeat

[@NostalgiaNomics]

💯

[@Jarke]

whenever I see prices crashing my brain says time to buy

[@paladincards4444]

100% Get that buy price low as you can. When covid happen, I thought I could finally buy some of these stocks I have always wanted haha

[@TymoTrain]

Please never stop making these videos. I enjoy them too much. Can't wait to see everyone's "suprise" at the next SWSH uptick.

[@fdjizm]

SELL EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! *Runs around in panic kicking babies*

[@mitchellcrain7808]

Great info brother! Unless one has any miniscule clue of how the market works, they'll never understand....

[@Stevenyoung100]

Watching people freak out about booms and busts is like reliving the stock market all over again. People refuse to look at the value of the objects they're investing in and instead look at the market value. The inherent value of what pokemon is pokemon cards and the pokemon franchise gives the cards an inherent value like never seen before. In the same way that a Mickey Mouse plush would be valuable because of Disney and what Disney has done. Not because it's a black mouse with ears. The inherent value of Pokémon set aside from the market value in my opinion is still matching with the market value suggests

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Very good point! Thanks for sharing this.

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

10:25 if something was 600 jumps to 900, it isn’t a 30% jump, it is a 50% jump in profit because half of 600 is 300 and if you add those together you get the 900. 50% profit. I know this was just a fast example but Alex is wrong, you made 20% more profit, which is still more than that 500 index he was breaking down.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Appreciate the correction 😅

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

I think he was thinking of a 900 card going down to 600, which would be a 30% loss.

[@GoldenEdgedGreg]

@@NostalgiaNomics no, I appreciate you finally being wrong. Everything else you say is rock solid info.

[@HoneyBeeTCG]

Always buy sealed on release and singles 6 months after and when singles spike just wait til attention moves somewhere else and then come back

[@adamrenga1523]

new camera? looks good either way

[@NostalgiaNomics]

No actually 😅. I am looking for one though

[@agbxlr447]

Something interesting that most people haven’t noticed with SWSH: the booster boxes are trending downwards, but none of the other sealed product really is. All of the blisters, ETBs, collection boxes, sleeved packs, and even loose packs keep going up. Don’t usually follow investment stuff much, but to me it just looks like the market for them is stabilizing a bit because the booster boxes were overvalued way too much compared to their other sealed counterparts from the same sets

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Well booster boxes usually always hold more value becuase they are valued by the collectibility and scarcity of the product itself and not as much the pack value as they age. So that is one of the reasons booster boxes are higher usually.

[@maxwellnolan6724]

Great data Alex! It blows my mind how little patience people have, a product dips for one month and they lose their minds 🤦‍♂️

[@kingslayya6876]

idk some of the volatility was barely felt here in aus apart from a few bb and singles, less depth in listings perhaps rn

[@paladincards4444]

That is awesome haha. Nvidia is holding up the whole S&P LO dipped a little based on the restock, but is already starting to come back. Pokemon SWSH is doing great!

[@RoninSteve]

I feel like people just need to wait! Be more patient, you can’t tell until at least two years have passed.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

💯

[@tcgbuyersclub]

I think it’s important to have videos like this to interrupt the negativity. Thanks Alex!

[@NostalgiaNomics]

@tcgbuyersclub Appreciate it man

[@luciangray3791]

Do these even matter if you looking long term? I picked up some crown zenith and silver tempest this month and honestly I'm looking 5+ years ahead.

[@MieXuL]

First time watcher of your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Glad you found the channel. Thanks for watchin!

[@scrappypat5612]

me personally I love cards ive pulled. Ive pulled 3 of the best 4 SWSH cards. I remember hearing about the spike rises in price and I said to my dad, Hey dad im up 300 bucks on paper in the last couple days. Knew they would come back down but cards ive pulled have a different value to me then the market price.

[@jasonwatson2334]

I love listening to the videos like this. Very cool to hear about how to invest in anything especially pokemon, a game I love. I collect but don’t pay attention to investing but any knowledge to learn is always great to learn.

[@jasonwilliams74]

In your opinion what’s a decent amount of money to start an investment on Pokemon?5k-10k. I’m thinking 20 years from now what are these set gonna be worth.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Just like any investing you can start with anything. Only put in what you can afford to risk Obviously. But that is the million dollar question on what will this stuff do in 20 years. I am placing my bets that sealed booster boxes will all be worth more than they are now.

[@freeradicals4christ]

It’s summer people are putting money into memories right now, not Pokémon that’s all the gains will come back in the fall.

[@newjones1754]

Market correction so far 3months of going down is more of a crash but, it's going down like the hype/fomo train.

[@RoninSteve]

Dang I’ve missed the last 4 videos. Work is picking up with training camp around the corner. Glad I could catch this today

[@NostalgiaNomics]

All good. I get it. Appreciate you taking the time for this one!

[@firefighterpokemon6855]

Awesome bro.. I agree with you 💯. I couldn't tell ya how many times I thought" better sale" then I listened to you and in way better shape by not selling......

[@Packermon-CharizardsChes-yo7uy]

How many packs do you have to open to pull a Charizard? Me and my friend are into 100 packs roughly and still not pulled a Zard 😂 He said since we was a child he always wanted to pull a Zard so we started buying packs and he pulled a mew and he nearly cried so I started this channel to document his reaction pulling a Zard and It still hasn't happened yet. How many packs do you think it will take?

[@bruneiprs4854]

The only reason the other youtubers are trying to big up the dips is so they have contents to talk about. Much like you need videos as well for your contents.

[@infuglenn]

I'm here still buying TG & GG. They are starting to move, people underestimated them and they will be suprised. Big believer for over a year in those cards! Also Ex series. Plays to be made everywhere!

[@gregc6107]

What might be fun is a parody video, of top X things you could do BESIDES investing in pokemon. It might be a fun video to make

[@MrGuitarfreak132]

Thank you for this!!! All the crash videos are annoying the crap out of me. I’m like it’s a little down from the top.thats not a crash lol

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Exactly

[@TheMpmpmpmpmpmp]

Things to keep in mind when investing in pokemon - Reprints/Restocks can tank the price at any time - Selling usually requires fees/shipping/materials - You're generally taxed on the way in and the way out - The higher the price the harder it is to sell. Dont expect to buy a box and get rich a month later. It aint happenin.

[@Momostravel]

The inflection has been on point lately😂😂😂😂😂. Ur getting good!

[@CafeKarak]

When cards skyrocket in price so fast they are bound to get corrected and go back down a little. Doesn’t mean it’s down, or it won’t go even higher in the future. 😅

[@infuglenn]

Maybe not a good example but i remember the Charizard gold star years back. Went from 300 to 200ish all the way to 800 and never came back, different times ok but to think that card was once 20$. I bought that one NM for 20$ and that was overpriced back then in 2009. I remember It was alot of money for me to spend on 1 pokemon card and taught about it for a couple of days before buying. People's emotions in the market are funny to watch and for some reason it will always remind me of that card and the lessons i learned.

[@wolfmanknows6407]

When in doubt, zoom out.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

[@bumklut553]

Thanks for reminding us to diversify Alex. No championship team wins all matches. They just need to win more than everyone else!

[@PokeMartin]

You gotta talk about the low sell through rate on these boxes. Evolving skies barely sells one box a day which is concerning. Same thing for chilling and fusion.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

I have sold hundreds if not over 1000 boxes and they have always moved fast. List a lowest list or a little under market and it goes or check auctions on ebay for these boxes. They usually always sell within about 10% of buy it now last sold if you want forces liquidity.

[@PokeMartin]

@@NostalgiaNomics I’m not selling boxes anytime soon but only seeing one sale a day if that, isn’t good. If chilling can’t even sell one box a day at this price how long is it going to take to get to $500+

[@NostalgiaNomics]

@PokeMartin GO search ebay. Tons of boxes and even cases of evolving skies literally sold yesterday.

[@PokeMartin]

@@NostalgiaNomics yes sir 🫡 Sword n Shield to moon

[@NostalgiaNomics]

[@johnheitkamp4792]

[@fsasguy87]

This is a bummer, I actually want them to crash so I can buy them for a reasonable price.😓

[@adamrenga1523]

OBSERVATION- stocks seem to go up slow and correct fast, pokemon seems to go up fast and correct slow - GENERALLY

[@haowensun546]

Prices crashing?? Let me cop more alt arts for cheap. 👌

[@Hitmonscorner_ko]

Enjoy your content man! But couldn’t you also have a similar take about Japanese booster boxes? A lot of people seem to be overly negative with that side of the market.

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Here is my honest opinion. It's very dangerous to take the data from the Japanese market in the last couple years as an outlook for the future becuase it was in a massive bubble. It would be like being in 2022 and seeing the vintage bubble in English happen in 2020 and 2021 and try to draw conclusions of how well it will continue to do going forward. That's the only thing that scares me. We really have no idea where things will go from here. In another 3 to 5 years we will have some data in a normal market but until then it's much more of a gamble.

[@cryptomon86]

Im still up big from winter. 🎉 I dont have any losses. 20-30 percent on sealed. Some outliers like fusion. The real winners are singles and slabs. Most alt arts up 2x or very close . No crashes here Opportunity for late comers wanting another chance

[@vikthor369]

Buy high sell low what other KZbinrs basically saying Thanks Alex 💪🏽📈

[@afterskoolhobby]

what about Crown Zenith?

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Yessir 🚀

[@-Auraguardian95]

Love ur vids. U set me on the path and helpped me figure out how i wanted to invest. I believe my mind set of buying one case a set to hold for years. Hoping one case will one day buy 2 or 3 cases when i sell the older case. I feel its a decent though process

[@NostalgiaNomics]

Appreciate it! That is definitely a good strategy and has worked out well so far.

[@-Auraguardian95]

@NostalgiaNomics I appreciate it. Looking forward to.kore content. I started during crown zenith but if it wasn't for ur vid on collector or investor. I'd still be wasting money trying to cover every area of pokemon. I can't wait to continue this path and see what the next 5-10 years hold

[@TheSnackAttackingSnorlax]

Scarlet and violets time to shine baby!

[@TheCollector123]

i love your videos nostalga nomica what to think you would invest for a short term invest like 6 months with $800.

[@boondockgames8805]

Vivid voltage for SURE

[@NostalgiaNomics]

6 months is hard... If I had to put money to work for only 6 months I likely wouldn't invest in sealed and I would just buy collections and break them down to sell individually for profit or single cards, grade them and flip for profit.

[@guwardiguwardi4372]

Feedback: it’s getting more unpleasant listening to your videos lately as your videos are becoming very rant-y. Those who want to listen or take your advise, they will. Then there will be those who do not believe in Pokemon investing at all. There’s no need to try and prove them wrong or try to correct them. But understandable that you also want your viewers to be properly informed. Just that it feels that you are increasingly frustrated in recent videos lol. Of course it’s your video and you can do what you want, and I as a viewer do not have to watch or listen if I don’t like. But just wanted to provide you with a feedback - pls don’t take it to heart! Very informative and helpful videos as always!

[@TheFilmCriticMovie]

Im still shocked at how gullible grown adults are!! If you believe its as simple as buying up inventory on one site to manipulate a market as large as pokemon, you’ll probably also believe the earth is flat if I said it convincingly enough. Like how can you not see the correlation of pokemon center becoming sold out on SWSH and the subsequent price hikes if you follow the market? Because if you do follow the market and current events in the hobby you should have seen that FOMO was going to cause a crazy spike in prices and that sudden boom was going to follow with a slight correction as everyone started trying to actualize their gains. It’s a cycle as old as time yet all it takes is for your favorite KZbinr to say it’s manipulation and that’s all you guys want to believe, EVEN AFTER TCGPLAYER comes out with an article saying and showing evidence that yes buyouts happen but they barley drive prices up and often prices even do down after buyouts. BUT NOPE, it’s all because of buyouts and market manipulation 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice pump dude! Actually....after Ebay fees and shipping (est. -$5/box) you made about $323, or about 15% for an entire year (not just 2024). The S&P increased 15%, and the Nasdaq 17% Just in 2024 so far. Much better off putting your money in the market and saving your time and energy.
