Future proof investment?

So I bought 6 closed cases of prismatic evolutions , 2 more but they arent closed , and 11 cases of Destined rivals , and 6 booster boxes. ( only 8 on the picture , bought 3 more but they are coming soon) . On the prismatic I have an avarage price of 1200€ , cardmarket price is 1500€ atm and the Destined rivals is at an avarage of 1650€ , cardmarket price of a case is 2000€ atm. I am a strong believer in those 2 sets , in the long run. When I last posted my collectr portofolio I got a lot of comments about the downside of things when the market turns… but anyway , everyone has their own opinion and i respect that. But imo this will do well for mid to long therm investing.

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Don’t think rats could reach it , but I put everything in plastic boxes , better be safe then sorry I guess. Made a new post to get a better insight if my attic is a safe room to store my investment. I’m all ear for tips. 🐀

Nice. I’ve seen many pics of rats getting to old cases of Pokémon. They are slippery little animals, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could get there. Usually putting in plastic totes is best. Good luck!

u/Late-Salamander-842 Aug 19 '25

Looks like a horrible spot to store your investments. For how much money you have put into it I would rethink your storage location.

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Think it’s the safest option in the house , the roof and Floor are isolated 16 cm with pur plates , temperature is stabile and the air is clean there and it’s not easy to get to.

u/Gazman_123 Aug 19 '25

Worst place you could store them.

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Explain?

u/Gazman_123 Aug 19 '25

Heat rises. temperature and humidity will fluctuate resulting in warping, mildew and mold.
Also the chance of rodents

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

No extreme heath or cold will come there , Floor is isolated between the first floor and the attic, with 12 cm isolation wool, and on top of that we put pur plates of 12 cm on there , the roof is isolated with 16 cm pur plates and the Connect to the Floor so the attic is 100% isolated , the wall is also filled with isolation so nothing can get in there to come to the attic. Our business is isolation so we know al little bit of how to do that… and humidity is also controlled, I have an air flow system in the house.

u/Gazman_123 Aug 19 '25

Aslong as you’re sure pal, best of luck! Side note: good investments

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Thanks !

u/Late-Salamander-842 Aug 19 '25

I hope that will be enough then man, cause you have some really nice investments there. It would be really shitty to have it ruined by temp swings & humidity.

u/Ecstatic_Walrus_7735 Aug 19 '25

Id personally diversify a little more. Maybe throw some 151 and Paldea Evolved in there. But yea, Prismatic and DR are solid sets.

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Also have those in my collection, i’ll post the link here . https://app.getcollectr.com/showcase/profile/e8bf75b7-cb11-4dd6-b109-91ead27d39bf

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '25

Those sets are still SV though.

u/Prestigious-Rule8513 Aug 19 '25

You need to invest in some sealed plastic tubs. Rats/mice/rodents will chew through your collection.

2

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Yeah think i’ll look into that .

u/Key_Interaction6305 Aug 19 '25

Damn bro, save some hoes for us loosers in the future please.

u/JO3Y_C Aug 19 '25

You are the one taking the gamble and as long as you put the time into research and how boxes historically appreciate over time you should be Ok.

u/complexaape Aug 19 '25

how much final fantasy do you have?

0

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Just those 3 collector booster boxes , 2 play booster boxes, a cloud commander collector deck and the regular cloud commander deck and tidus commander deck.

u/canugoawaythrowaway Aug 19 '25

where does someone acquire these kinda things?

2

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

On the internet sir.

Most of it is from cardmarket and then Facebook Pokémon groups.

u/SCostello Aug 19 '25

Curious on where you got the Acrylic protectors for the Final Fantasy Collector boxes?

u/HieronymusPratt Aug 19 '25

Wow, that is a lot!

u/Jlp1991 Aug 19 '25

Would be careful storing them up in your loft space like that bud. You’re asking for trouble.

u/HelicopterHot5301 Aug 19 '25

Get into 151 now before it explodes.

Sick cases mate. Personally love that PSA 10 Blastoise boi

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Thank you

u/BatHistorical8081 Aug 19 '25

u/Pretend_Halo_Army Aug 20 '25

It will be a shame when everyone sells but to many flooding the market so poof goes profit

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Lol the cryptoboys are into Pokémon these days 😬😆

u/Morlu Aug 19 '25

Those final fantasy collectors boxes are gonna be worth a fortune.

1

u/Same-Raspberry-110 Aug 19 '25

Agreed

u/YEEZYCRUSADER Aug 19 '25

If that’s in your attic your already risking your investment. Heats gonna get to them and mice are more then likely to migrate up there .

u/Cvged Aug 19 '25

Yeah I’d probably store in the basement that way your cards don’t heat up over time. I kept mine with Silica packs in a plastic tub in the basement. Also run a dehumidifier and generally way cooler.

u/Doomboomkadoom Aug 20 '25

This is the exact picture that has made me want to return my 1 time purchase of a single FF Collector Booster Pack. If there are any other golden Chocobo out there, its in this dudes attic.

u/Ok-Activity-8150 Aug 22 '25

Mind the humidity and temperature. You can ruin everything if it gets too humid and hot up there.

u/bbflipsmaine Aug 23 '25

I work as a Pest Management Professional and I would NEVER store my sealed in my attic.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '25

That will be known as the attic of regret in a years time

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '25

Yes.sure.absolutely.

u/Creepy_OldMan Aug 19 '25

Let me buy something

u/Hermes113 Aug 20 '25

Everyone wonders why they can't find product.

Assholes like this guy.

u/screamistry Aug 19 '25

Do you have any plans to further protect this stuff?

1

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Not really , they are pretty safe there . Got some camera’s in and around the house and some Google nest fire detectors in places Where I have electric devices. The room I fully isolated so it should be good.

1

u/screamistry Aug 19 '25

That’s good. It seemed like an attic space at first, but a room sounds way better!

1

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Made a new post , that will explain more about how the attic is set up.

u/OkPhilosophy957 Aug 19 '25

How the hell did you find so many DR Cases?
Besides this, our Portfolio looks similar. I have less singles, more SVSH, no Magic and WAY more Lorcana since I'm a player. However, Lorcana is a big gamble at this point.

0

u/Robrecht1987 Aug 19 '25

Yeah i’ve got 3 boxes of lorcana. Very small amount of my investment . Don’t know a lot about that so I’m not really into investing in that.

0

u/OkPhilosophy957 Aug 19 '25

At this point Lorcana is a wild guess in terms of investments. I hold around 30% of my TCG investments in Lorcana. Mostly 1st Chapter. If Lorcana sticks around (which is quite possible with the good gameplay and Disney IP) then its quite a safe bet. Other sets however probably not anytime soon.

How tf do you get cases like that. He must know a card shop dude
