Why do any of you faggots bother with inferior assets? Sealed Pokemon cards out perform 90% of assets shilled on this board.

Pokemon cards are actual tulip mania. It's pretty funny that redditors compare crypto to tulips then """invest""" in this shit because it appeals to their """""inner child""""" (translation: they're all manbabies who will never ever ever ever ever grow up)

Cope however you want. If you would've bought a $100 box of pokemon 25,20,15,10,5 years ago, youd be able to afford an actual gf. If you bought the right box, youd be up six figures now. The hobbies booming now, but its pretty nigger tier call it tulip mania.

my grandpa's deck has no inferior assets

KEK THESE THINGS ARE GOING FOR 2K???
I HAVE 4 IN MY CLOSET BUT IDK HOW TO SELL WITHOUT GETTING SCAMMED AAAAAA

Go to a card show. They will pay you straight cash for them usually at 80 percent of market value. Evolving skies is really sought after though so you could probably get 90 percent for it. They need to be sealed in the original plastic though.

no instead i actually played with and traded the cards because i wasnt a fucking binder dweeb and have had girlfriends since middle school, losing virginity at 13

cant find any around me coming up + dont like talking to other autists and kids
how bad of a bubble is it right now? because theyve been saying its a bubble ever since the pokemon go boom and it hasnt stopped
is it worth holding at all or should i be looking for an exit asap?

If you “invest” in Pokémon you have to deal directly with the lowest grade of trash people on a regular basis to just buy and sell. No thanks. I prefer crypto because I don’t have to haggle with some incel who’s going to do a chargeback in 89 days over a couple hundred dollars

The worst part is that my mom has probably thrown out at least 50k worth of Pokémon cards for ‘taking up space’ in the garage

I mean fair enough I stopped playing with it 20 years ago and it was collecting dust but i know for a fact that I had a holo blastoise, can’t remember if either of the 3 charizards were holo and some other goodies from the first set, and they were in a binder so probably not bad wear either

Also probably have some old cartridges of yellow blue gold silver crystal sapphire ruby emerald

I work at a walmart… can I make money grabbing all the heavier packs and selling them? I always have the closing shift so I could probably just rummage through the shit before I leave for the night

>>60660868
Not everything is worth money lmao it also depends on the condition. You retards are what makes the market unbearable thinking you got gold when you got a heavily played borderline damaged card and want top dollars for it. Also who cares about base set Blastoise? Unless it's Shadowless or Shadowless + 1st ed, a regular one is just regular. You can still get fresh out of box mint of those cause people still crack old boxes nowadays same for Charizards.

Pokemon Go bubble bursted a while back. During the pandemic it was the Logan Paul bubble. The current one is from the mobile card game. It's about to burst too, Rudy from Alpha Investments has been freaking out for weeks now cause that guy has been the loudest retard in the business but the retard that is always right.

How do you find the proper price for a 1st edition 1999 european sealed box?
The prices on Ebay are all over the place...

>>60660883
Weighing packs for Pokemon isn't really a thing anymore lol. Pokemon hates it so much that every pack's weight is random and one pack being heavy isn't indicative anymore of it having a hit since you do get foils every pack.

>ebay
>not checking sold listings first
That's your first mistake retard. TCG player is better cause you can't really list there unless you're a store.

pokemon is for chuds

>>60660683
I already have a gf, the fact that you thought to bring that up to insult me goes to show how truly pathetic the type of person who falls for this shit is. Check how much retro game prices are down since covid. This will soon be your fate as well if you don't change your ways

>>60660910
He was projecting lmao. I personally never treated any of this shit as investment. I buy cards cause I legit like the art and they give me warm fuzzy feeling in this retarded full of nigger planet. Reminds me of the good times before I woke up one day and realized nothing matters. I usually let out a chuckle whenever I check and see my old cards having any value at all.

>>60660899

TCG has no offers for 1st ed.
Ebay has sold listings, but there are very few with bids, top is $10k.
I guess it's a very illiquid market.

>>60660916
I do the same, putting up some old tcg cards is a god tier improvement to any space. People who trade them for profit are raging faggots

>>60660661 (OP)
Highly illiquid market, good luck cashing out or buying $100M of pokemon cards lmao

>r*dditors out here buying cardboard while banks are buying gold

>>60660932
>>60660916
Hmmmm this is a good idea anons I usually hate the idea of displaying"nerd merch" but I have some old dusty yugioh cards that would be cool decor in the right frames

>>60660668
This reference is getting old it is used so much I honestly thought it happened in the 70s and there were old timers who lived through it not the fucking 1600s
