I have a $40k TCG portfolio of PSA 10 cards. Pic related is my latest purchase, there are only 93 first edition mfc-000 Dark Magician Girls in the world and I have one. It is worth about $10k
Is this a retarded alternative investment? I own a lot of full art Pokemon psa 10 as well.
autism
i buy 9s because i don’t pay for the label
Red cheeks pikachu shadowless
I'm all in on pokemon TCG sealed boxes lots of my products have gone up 200-600% in the last few years
Shoulda sold in late 2020 early 2021
Card I hold I was getting $2k offers on are worth $400 now
I tracked your PSA case numbers to your eBay accounts and found your names and addresses.
And you will always be mediocre and lag behind, as in the rest of your life.
Wrong. Champion's Path has done nothing but trend sideways since it released. Meanwhile Evolving Skies is $450 per booster box.
Bought it local for $200
Nice try anon, post em anyways
most 10s and 9s are entirely interchangeable, i'll keep cracking 9s and selling you them when they return as 10s. grading is a scam and people who buy 10s are the only ones losing money on it.
Do you just flip from ebay and have them regraded?
Lmao. You're the type of guy who buys the label and doesn't even look at the card. Some PSA 10s out there are dogshit. Graders are retarded and inconsistent.
Good news is card and crypto cycles go hand and hand
Cards I bought for $10 went to $500 and are now down to $200. I think I'll be fine
I got 5 champion path elite charizard boxes. Some prices i see are double what i payed for but are they worth holding on to?
Lucky pick. They printed the shit out of everything else it seems
i have a psa 4 dds-001 blue eyes but theres a tiny little chip from the plastic housing that pokes into where the card rests. pisses me off, and id have to break it open to release it from its prison with the tiny pokey chip
Same advice as usual, invest in waifu cards.
Anyone else mind blown how the waifu movement has gained such legs in recent years? In a decade it will be legal to marry our 2D wives.
She’s my favorite
And samus
And dark magician girl is hot too
I have this one, original. apparently it has a decent price now. But it shines, so I got it 10 years ago. I dont want to sell it btw
I have a dark magician girl MFC-000 but it's not 1st edition. I've had it for over 10 years and have no plans to sell it, it's in my cupboard under the stairs. I'm telling you this because I like to tell ppl I'm special
Based, I love that card and would like to scoop one further down the line when my more traditional financial goals are met. I collect Pokémon, Yugioh, and Metazoo, but mostly metazoo and Pokémon.
I don’t like these as ‘alternative investments’ though… I’d rather invest in Bitcoin, securities, and real estate. I just like the art, playing TCGs, and the nostalgia.
For me, I have 2 sealed fossil boosters, one is first edition,
a mostly good full base set collection
and 2 sealed theme decks - the koffing and magmar one
really want a shining magikarp one day, and a graded sealed neo/genesis/discovery booster one day
>eBay 2 years ago
>Buy a heavy ex Deoxys booster pack
>Decide to open it up
>Actually had a reverse holo Ludicolo and Deoxys ex (normal form)
Felt like a kid again, was a great pack and worth the $300
But the hunt for Rayquaza continues
Do normal shops even still sell older Pokémon cards unless their inventory is from a time machine and are miraculously still active all these years?

Can you show me the 94th retard who'd pay 10k for this shit?
I have a few questions
Why isn't SDK001 worth more? It looks better than the limp dick dragon, it's more popular, and it's actually more rare according to the psa
Second question, why is charizard and lugia hogging up the demand for cards? All the neo sets are worth Jack shot. There are cards with a pop of fucking 7 all the way to 20 for 10s and that's really rare. They're also beautiful cards but if it's not charizard base 1st then it's trash in terms of value? That's fucking stupid
Mfc 000 is the first version of dark magician girl so it’s the highest value. All the others are reprints.
Everyone wants the first version of charizard, it’s the same argument. Base set and the originals will always command more value than different versions.
>Why isn't Starter Deck Kaiba worth more
Lol they printed millions of those. I remember buying one at Blockbuster. I've recently been buying SDK cards to play vintage Yu-Gi-Oh. I have the Yugis decks reprint but wanted to have the Kaiba, Pegasus, and Joey decks too.
I commend you on your solid asset pursuits
DMG is a fine choice, but you're going to have to wait several years to get a positive return. Maybe this tops out back at $15k to $20k when the market is better. Maybe.
Thoughts on Locarna?
I have a Shiny Star V Box from pokemon center Japan with Nessa. I wonder how that goes nowadays. I still have sealed product like Hidden Fates but not sure if I should wait a while.
Everyone is saying that this is the next pokemon but it has been ruined by "Disney adults" which I wish they would die of cancer.
Hidden Fates is still appreciating but there is good liquidity at this price point despite being in a somewhat down market.
I think Bob Iger is a turbonagger who sent Disney Cruises to Little St. James and Ill never invest in his kike stock, cardboard game, etc.
I only collect and invest in sealed booster packs.
I have a bunch of psa 10 1st ed yugioh packs. Might try to get some sealed OG MTG packs soon.
The yugioh packs are already 21 years old and the become rarer and rarer with age. My PSA 10 LOB's are like $1k. Good starting point if it follows pokemon pack prices and gets to $10k/ pack
I couldn't do that, if I had a sealed pack it would be open in a few days. I know money would be lost on it but the experience of opening it is worth more than money to me.
sold most of my yugioh collection during the 2020 and 2021 peak. most expensive card i had was the misprint rainbow dragon.
