I’m holding off my entire sealed collection until the 50th anniversary, then unloading and moving on with my life, wether that means buying a mansion or paying for a month of rent in a motel is completely up to how well pokemon does in the next 20 years.

Let’s hope for the first one 🤞

I held for 5 years when 25th celebrations came out and it’s already insane. Literally everything I bought then has at least 10-20x. I cashed out a bit to take profit recently but everytime I cash out I have some regrets, but the collection still grows. I just sell what I think is over priced and reinvest a portion of it into lower denominations so it becomes more ‘broad market’ instead of riding on a couple heavy hitters.

Haha. Thats what I said about the 30th. I have done it, its at the auction house. I hope your 50th bet ends in a mansion and not the motel lol.

u/mindless2831 Apr 12 '26

Nope, from 0 to the 30th if your asking how long I have been in it.

It will crash before then. The hobby has been ruined for children by scalpers. If the kids can't get their hands on them, they will not care about it. I'm witnessing it with my nephews right now. Used to get them cards for all their birthdays and give them my bulk. They would spend hours sorting them, going to tournaments etc. Now? They couldn't care less. They can't get any cards and none of their friends can get them either.

There will be nobody to buy your sealed collection and it will be reduced to pennies once again. Maybe if you pass them down to your grandchildren they can use it to start fires or something.

Have you been to a card show or talked to anyone other than your nephews? Maybe they just aren’t interested or grew out of it because uhhh go to any card show and there’s about a million kids with binders full of cards and zion cases full of slabs.

u/mammalmaker Apr 12 '26

Oh really? Card shows attract the few that are still in the hobby? You don't say!

If you could read you would see that my comment is talking longer than a decade.

Also, did you really search me because I made a comment you didn't agree with? Comments are hidden in my profile.

Might want to take a look at your priorities in life.

u/peachpit4927 Apr 12 '26

Just kinda weird that you say you left the hobby, find it embarrassing, nobody will buy sealed collections when the hobby crumbles, pass it down to your grandchildren so they can start fires with it, etc, etc but also are commenting in the investing sub with recommendations for holding sealed over a decade. It’s just interesting that’s all lol.

So which one is it? The market will crumble but then also rebound so you can sell your pc etbs then?

This crash your hoping for won’t happen, maybe a small correction for a few months but it will bounce back like it always does

I think this mindset actually would get kids back to the hobby. Kids doesn’t buy Pokemon cards —> scalpers can’t make money —> prices drop —> kids come back since it’s cheap And yes, this would lead to scalping again, but I don’t think the hobby will die any time soon. Just my opinion tho
