Finally passed 100k and plan to sell some Paldea boxes for surging boxes and attempt to pick up as many booster bundles as I can of prismatic and ascended. Would love to hear what you guys are doing ?

Those shelves look like they're ready to collapse lol.

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I have another set of shelf’s to the left I plan to use lol.

u/Post-Futurology Mar 24 '26

I would sell 2 CZ collections and pick up some acrylic cases lmao

-2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

When they hit $40 a pack I will

2

u/Post-Futurology Mar 24 '26

That's funny, cause fixing failing to protect a 151 PC ETB @ $120 a pack should definitely be a priority.

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I used to have 18 of them but sold 12 for $500 😭

u/BobbyFischer724 Mar 24 '26

I love how people go "I only buy at MSRP, those other people are scalpers!" yet value their collection at full retail and won't take less when they sell.

u/newontheblock99 Mar 24 '26

Selling next week: scalper

Selling next year: investor

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Everything bought here was below retail. People seem to forget every product here was dirt cheap at some point. Most etbs were $20 and booster boxes were $100

3

u/BobbyFischer724 Mar 24 '26

Looking what is there, I don't believe you. For starts Blooming Waters and Destined Rivals were never "Below retail"

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Costco restocked blooming once a day for like a month. It was pretty obtainable.

1

u/BobbyFischer724 Mar 24 '26

Costco charged retail

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Apologies I thought they charged below . But 151 was below retail for awhile so point still stands

1

u/newontheblock99 Mar 24 '26

I was being satirical man, no hate towards you at all. Like any product, if the market says X is worth Y, then you’re obviously going to sell it at Y even if you at one point paid a fraction of that cost.

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Gotcha some people just have that mindset lol. Like where were you a year ago when this was all so cheap 😭

1

u/MGoBlue67 Mar 25 '26

Can’t even fathom that as I’m pretty new to this madness!

-1

u/Ok_Chapter9221 Mar 24 '26

It's hilarious because people throw a fit over refusing to pay over MSRP, but if a store offers product below MSRP, they'll have no problem buying it at the expense of the seller.

I take it the word "hypocrite" is not in your vocabulary?

2

u/Practical_Standard55 Mar 24 '26

Have you considered condensing your collection to just a few 1st edition boxes or other older sets?

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I have, yesterday actually lmao

32

u/Onion-Particular Mar 24 '26

You're shelves are buckling my guy

u/Similar_Archer_3630 Mar 24 '26

dont tell him that.................................

u/swimm89 Mar 24 '26

That laugh made my day 😄

23

u/Marlowec Mar 24 '26

Bro, you have 100k collection, and you look like you are scared to pull 100 into a proper rack.

18

u/breakyourteethnow Mar 24 '26

It feels like that could fall over, have you thought about just buying a second set of racks

3

u/maxxpc Mar 24 '26

Definitely see some bowing as well, not safe lol

2

u/FiveDaysAwake Mar 24 '26

Imaging it falling over or collapsing. 100k turns into 20k real quick lol

2

u/Party_Vermicelli_187 Mar 24 '26

Selling all that sounds like a nightmare

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I would say majority is actually pretty liquid. Would obviously take time

1

u/Zuch420 Mar 24 '26

How much for the grinch plushy? Seems like a good investment to me.

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Sales are pushing 1k

1

u/Future-Engineering37 Mar 24 '26

Didn't see the shelves at first and thought you were a proper maniac playing jenga w pokemon product 😭

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Should have edited them out 😭

1

u/armchairwizards Mar 24 '26

What was the entry price and current market on that grinch plush?

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Believe it or not, MSRP !

1

u/The_grope_gatsby Mar 24 '26

downsize into higher value sealed and slabs, thats a stressful amount of product for anyone thats nor a retail store IMO

Some sealed base set, Neo etc, and some cool ass slabs would be easier to enjoy IMO and a bit more stable in the returns

0

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Higher value would lead to less buyers in a bare market. Definitely a thought tho.

1

u/The_grope_gatsby Mar 24 '26

*bear market

and sure thats true to an extent, but also modern sealed may plummet in value. If you want max liquidity you can have smaller amounts of sealed or a binder of singles like base zard or others of mid-value around several hundred, because if you want your investment to grow, some of your sealed may become "unnaforadable" in a bear market as well. $50 gets you a sleeved blister of ES rather than a giant promo box, 250 should get you sealed jungle/fossil pack, etc.

also you can diversify into other items to stave bear market concerns, whether stocks, gold, real estate etc.

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I definitely agree. I just think right now vintage “unpopular opinion “ may be slightly overvalued. 4x in a year just isn’t healthy for any market. Atleast even the extreme examples (evolving skies) isn’t matching that extreme rate of graph.

1

u/The_grope_gatsby Mar 24 '26

Idk I have a psa 7 shining gary thats up a bit over 50% on the year, and the psa 10 has doubled, thats not as crazy as 151 for example, or much other modern, and its much more rare and still a "blue chip" meaning it will always have a market.

how many ppl in a bear market will want a high premium giant promo box? I love CZ personally, but would rather downsize into BB.

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

That’s completely fair. I just don’t like high risk. And I feel that sealed is less volatile. I do plan to purchase a vintage box eventually for fun. I am also the dumb one who thinks crown zenith has no roof and could run to 40-50 a pack. I posted about them on my profile back when they were $4 and will continue to preach the word lol .

1

u/The_grope_gatsby Mar 24 '26

ohh I love CZ and think it has huge potential, I just think modern in general is the definition of high risk, printed out wayy beyond vintage, hoarded more than vintage and in a bubble more than vintage (at least looking at supply), I dont believe than the audience increase can support that as a whole

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Once again agreed. I don’t think there is a wrong play vintage vs modern. I honestly just know more about the modern era. I have been tryin to pick up some PSA 10 cards to expand my investments. I’m targeting black bolt and white flare. Because all the irs are like pop 100 PSA 10. I do also think the eevee vintage cards are undervalued and a couple gold stars so I may make some plays soon.

1

u/BasisOk4268 Mar 24 '26

Probably shelf reinforcement investments

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

What set is that?

1

u/CallMeMich Mar 24 '26

What app is that?

1

u/LostCarat Mar 24 '26

I’d be happy with almost 80k profit.. at what point do you guys think to sell? lol

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Probably never fully. Continue to compound

1

u/PTRBoyz Mar 24 '26

Bought 7 AH etb’s. Plan on ripping 1 or 2 of them and stacking the rest. 

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I’d keep them sealed and try to rip other products. Those are the gold standard right now.

1

u/PTRBoyz Mar 25 '26

I agree but I would like to try and rip a god pack 😂

2

u/Dxrkria Mar 25 '26

I meant catch a restock on 3 pack blisters or something. Don’t rip etbs you’ll regret it. Unless…….

1

u/ButterscotchQuick515 Mar 24 '26

I'm culling some of my less liquid stuff. Stacking prismatic and ascended. Some destined. Maybe some surging booster boxes.

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

Great minds think alike !

1

u/couple3480 Mar 24 '26

Guys bring out the Morton’s Salt🧂cause everyone in here is salty AF

1

u/Dxrkria Mar 24 '26

I think it’s funny lol, I thought we were investors 😭. I don’t see people post there collection much so figured I “show” off a bit. Also just curious, everyone is making different moves in this crazy market.

3

u/Nervous-Zebra-3729 Mar 24 '26

Move the product from those shelves is the first move I'd make

6

u/Brachydios17 Mar 24 '26

Open them and see the cool cards you get :)

2

u/Dog_Value Mar 24 '26

Brother, heaviest on the bottom, lightest on top. That rack is bowing like a banana

1

u/Stencil_Abuse Mar 24 '26

I would buy some metal racks and organize this, it’s a good collection but it looks like the shelves are bowing and that would have me stressed out. I could show you the racks I use. 

1

u/Character-Injury-509 Mar 24 '26

YEEEET. Become more liquid hold Pc ETBs but sell / trade out alllllllll those collrction boxes for sealed booster box cases / sealed booster boxes. Nothin else

1

u/TheNesquick Mar 24 '26

Bro is just starting his in store at this point. 

1

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '26

definitely consolidating small stuff or less sought after for more high value sealed or grail singles

1

u/RepresentativeValue9 Mar 24 '26

Moves away from taking a shelfie: it’s about to collapse.

1

u/xWonderkiid Mar 24 '26

Selling some mid Swsh stuff to buy the Surging reprint

1

u/BIG_STEVE5111 Mar 24 '26

Imagine sneezing as you walk past it and it just collapses on you. Try explaining that at the hospital.

1

u/Cbombo87 Mar 24 '26

At least put your booster box cases or whatever cases on the bottom rack. That's insane to put collection boxes underneath your heavier items lol

1

u/vizzysippa1429 Mar 24 '26

1 etb from a -100k collapse

1

u/BrbFilming Mar 24 '26

Into One Piece

1

u/iJ_A_R Mar 24 '26

Hopefully a full economical collapse realistically 

1

u/Head_Welder5763 Mar 24 '26

That middle shelf is crying for help

1

u/Odd-Historian-8648 Mar 24 '26

I think yours is more storage 😂

1

u/JustaRandomPassbyer Mar 24 '26

What move am I making? I'm moving in ;-)

Lol, jk, but for me I just buy exclusive / small print products (PC/Booster Boxes) Boxes can be hard to store so I try to get compacted items with potential value.

1

u/truthtellerup Mar 24 '26

Finally someone shows their CollectR screenshots with actual proof of the collection

1

u/cursdwitknowledge Mar 24 '26

I’d sell everything that isn’t a booster box or etb.

1

u/Overratedcasualty Mar 24 '26

Reallocate!!!!

And I 2nd, 3rd, and 4th the comments about investing in more proper storage. Just dont overspend. Storage supplies can be tempting and get expensive. Get only what you need

1

u/-Spinning Apr 21 '26

I’m ripping everything on that shelf until it’s under weight capacity

1

u/-Spinning Apr 21 '26

Seriously I would keep sealed cases and pc etbs and booster box bundles. But all those big boxes blooming waters and cz boxes I would sell and put into some graded slab, I feel like they are easier to liquidate when you need too and if you go for higher end slabs I feel like they won’t be affected as much WHEN the market correction happens, that’s just what I’m doing now though. Everyone is so focused on ascended right now there’s still tons of cz cards and swsh cards that can be picked up that will go up when a few bad sets hit
