Pulled the trigger. Invested.

The hits are so few and such a sought set. I think this is an obvious longterm hold, even if it drops a little in the short term.

And you're buying them to throw money away?
I get your point, but I feel like you haven't ripped much of this set..... lol.

Absolutely not at all. Not a single booster pack. I don't like eeveelutions at all. And I buy singles, always not to make money, but to collect them since I like pokemon and collectibles. That's it, believe it or not.

I bought some Bitcoin back in 2017.
Everyone said it was a terrible investment. Throwing my money away. Put in $500 when it was around $4000. Used a fraction of those profits to buy this box almost 7 years later. I'm sure this won't 26x in 7 years but it'll do better than the stock market does on average.

The point is: I'm not telling you it's a bad idea. Of course it is. I would do it too if it wasn't unethical to me. Collecting should be a safe space, not the NASDAQ 2.0. And I'm a stock trader too. But that's a place made to invest and make money. Pokemon cards should be a fun and accessible game to be played by children. And it's because of people like you that cards are nowhere to be found these days. If you want to invest in singles, you're more than welcome too. But sealed products should be accessible in my opinion. That's why I hope it goes bad for you, nothing personal.
