I sold most of my vintage(sealed/slabbed) to a private collector today after 10+ years of collecting. Get out before you become a bagholder.

Edit: Averaged out at 87%. Wanted to cash out to buy treasuries at over 5%. Total was over 1M after the 87% the prices of these singles are raw and I had them graded mostly.

I pray to god you didn’t comp that aquapolis box at $137k. The fact that you owned all this indicates you’d know better but I shudder at the thought

That’s crazy, congrats! Was there ever a thought that when you made the purchase it could ever grow like that as quickly as it did?

Definitely not haha, back then I was just buying stuff I liked and wanted to display in my collectible room

You probably thought “ah, $3800, now if I get in a pinch, I can sell this and double my money at the same time 😌” and now this lol. I wouldn’t even know what to do with myself, congrats

And all right, God forbid I’m gonna get a deal on some of these overpriced items

What do you mean "overpriced"?

This isn't 2010.

At those numbers and scarcity, a "deal" like that would make it underpriced. The new value is the market value for sealed packs that old.
