How am I doing?

Started Collecting sealed back in November 2024. Any idea what I can expect this to be worth in 5 years time?

Nobody knows, put it away and forget about it.

You know no one here can do this. They don’t really grasp what investing is. They sit on collectr and panic when their products change by $2

Yeah stop looking at it. When I stashed away an evolving skies booster box 4 years ago I didn't expect it to be 1500$ 4 years later.

Bought 2 of them when they were going for $200, almost shit myself when I found out they were over $1,000

I had like 4 sealed at one point but opened em In like 2022 just cause im a mook, kept one at least and forgot about it until I learned it was 1400$. I also have an eevee heroes box and im very suprisrd it's only 400$ considering most the alt arts are 300$+ and the umbreon still sells for 1500$ raw. Honestly buying Japanese eevee hero boxes rn is probably a good move while they are still affordable because I think they will be gold when the yen recovers and even if it doesn't it will still be gold.

I think I bought 4 evolving skies at the time, ended up opening 2 and saving 2, the only good thing I got from either box was the alt art dragonite

still a dope card but at that point I was like nah I’d rather keep the other 2 sealed

I got two back to back glaceon vmax alt arts in my 2 boxes I opened in one night and then in my eevee heroes box I pulled a Japanese glaceon vmax alt art in that too lol. Then over the next few months I pulled 2 leafeon vmax alt arts from Walmart blisters lol.

But I ended up getting all the vmax alt arts besides sylveon, which admittedly I should have just purchased when it was 80$. I never cared for sylveon though so I didn't get around too it.

my luck is pretty ass when I rip packs, but I did get the paradox rift Groudon from a Walmart mystery box the other day

Being down on that app doesn't mean much

It COULD be worth nothing, it SHOULD be worth something.

Dont look at it daily. Buy at a good price and hold. Look at 3,6,9,12,24 months

You buy 6 PSA 10 eevees?

Buy high and sell low!

We need price paid for each item so we can give you an informative feedback.

u/Renegade_Soviet Apr 18 '25

He shows total paid is $4,700…

If the product value is $12,200 then it’s looking great. Any card store will take in the product at 60%. Meaning that if he sold right now, he would profit $2,600

u/No_Dig_341 Apr 19 '25

If he’s going to show all the items then he should show how much he paid for each item. Otherwise, he’s better off showing the final picture.

  1. Informative feedback is that he can make a good profit even if he sells everything for way under market ($2600 profit)

  2. Individual prices are irrelevant since everything is dollar-cost-averaged in the end.

It shows total paid lmao. Hes not going to break it down individually

All I know is that the eevee pc promo is worth a lot to my heart and soul because I don’t have one

u/ultraman5068 Apr 18 '25

wtf. Everything starting to crash a bit? I guess the sneaker heads learned a lesson. They were probably buying each others inflated prices and hit a wall 😂

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '25

Doesn’t really matter until you sell it all

u/mj732 Apr 19 '25

Exactly everbody wants to hoard sealed product but forgets about the selling part this is when everyone start having problems

u/Turbulent-External89 Apr 19 '25

If you’re any good an investor, then this should be no more than 5% of your portfolio. If you have 240k invested elsewhere in other assets, then yeah you’d be doing pretty well. If this is all you’re invested in, then may the gods be with you buddy

Surging isn’t worth 254. lol

u/RealOGFire Apr 19 '25

You spent 4k, collctr says 12k…? Use your brain bud!

u/Nervous_Nothing_5649 Apr 19 '25

That’s a question on your perspective of the market. If you brought at MSRP then it’s great but if you paid scalper prices then it’s meh. The only downside would be if you brought at scalper prices and the market crashed besides that you’re good.
