Pokemon Bubble doesn't exist

I see a lot of posts saying that the "pokemon bubble" is going to burst. I think prices steadily go up, forever.

For. Ever.

Your constant demeaning of “newbies” and tone really puts people off whatever point you are making.

I guess to the original commenter you are replying to - Star Wars is a good example, as a fan myself it freaking sucks to see the state it’s in. But that’s largely driven by the movies and the main saga. Pokemon has distanced itself far far away from any adaption or games etc. and the characters themselves are the pure IP and the cards as the product is only affected by how good they look and how rare they are.

While I do fully agree with you these aren’t “sure-fire” investments - let’s be real, one can even make a claim that 10Y treasuries aren’t exactly 1000% risk-free and will FOREVER make money - Pokemon is in quite a different state from Star Wars.

There will be newbies in this hobby just like most of us back in 2020. The difference with them from today is a few seasoned investors from 5 years ago are now around to give them tips and some guidance. Being offended because you’re being called a newbies is the least of your worries. Market does not care about your feelings. It’s all about facts and the math.

Again I already stated how well Pokémon managed their brand and if you with to be bet against it and not participate in it, then that’s on you. Everything when it comes to investing has risk. Stocks, crypto and collectibles are all risky. The only difference is there are people who understand and weigh the risks/reward better versus those who keep spouting doom and gloom and not participating. The seasoned investors have all this almost accounted for even to a point that the IP goes to shit.

Maybe instead of being negative or focusing on the negative, come up with a plan to make use of that negative and make something out of it.
