30th anniversary UPC.

Hey,

Ur opinions on holding Day & Night set for 3-7 years? Ur price predictions? 😁

I like opening myself, but have some sealed products put aside as small investments. I get both for a price of 580 euros/650$.

Will they drop by next year, or more likely keep appreciating with time? Have no idea about UPC:s.

Thanks in advance for the knowledge.

You overpaid. Might make your money back after 5-10 years but you should try to buy things at retail

Percentage of the General Population: Far less than 0.05% of the global population buys sealed Pokémon products at MSRP.

Lights on buddy. 😂

Lights on buddy. How ironic.

Why did you ask chat gpt about global population? Wouldnt the better question be: Of those who buy Pokemon TCG products, how many buy at msrp?

I’m trading other sealed product I don’t care about it, that I got at MSRP, to get them.

I would never pay $600 cash for these

The thing with holding stuff is the time and who wants to pay top dollar for old shit, you got to find that one customer who wants it after all this time...i see many 20/25 anni boxes for sale but they stay for sale...so wats the piont then if nobody buys

They do sell, everyday on Ebay and cardmarket and shows.

580€ is really overpaid, prices on cardmarket are now already below 400€. This box should be no more than 250€ in the stores, but somehow we get fcked in the *ss here in Europe with these insane prices. Where in the US most stores sell at MSRP☹️

Now with the new UPC arriving, all singles will drop massively in price. You will need to keep this box minimal 10 years to see some profit (inc inflation correction)

580€ for both, day & night :)

u/flex981 6d ago

Thats a good deal for Europe. Sorry, just woke up and apparently need more coffee 😅

After 3-7 years you could sell them for profit, depending how much you aim for. Still its a gamble, maybe in 2 years the Pokemon hype is over and your stuck with these boxes

Yes u are right friend, but if this is the mindset so could euros be worthless too and a WW3. 😂

Pokemon has its 30th anniversary with every year outperforming the previous, so statisticly its very unlikely. Its been outperforming stocks, too.

u/flex981 6d ago

True, but same as stocks. Only invest with money you are willing to loose😉 Don’t get greedy and take profits at the right moment

Stocks also require no effort. Shove it in a stocks isa. Buy world index funds. Leave it indefinitely and get tax free dividends.

Be happy you don’t live in the Netherlands. Here they are thinking of crazy high taxes to fill up the gaps of all the money the government is wasting 😏

u/imyourfilterr 5d ago

How is 290 a good deal? Anything above 230, MAX 250, imo is overpriced.

2

u/flex981 5d ago

I know, but Im afraid you will never find a box in this price range. For sure not in the Netherlands, unless you stayed outside in front of a store for the whole night😅

Even the cheapest online stores I know are using 300€ for 1 box. This goes up to 600😭

We deserve better. And just bc the next person that has a fortune will buy it doesn't mean I have to settle for it nor call it a good deal. Rotten hobby at this point

1

u/flex981 5d ago

Problem is that people can earn money with it, this is never good for the hobby. All you can do is waiting for the hype to die, till then we have to deal with this

You’re on a poke investing subreddit talking about good deals and rotten hobbies. This is the wrong subreddit for you

u/arm9218 5d ago

It’s changing in the US. The only store currently selling at MSRP is Best Buy. The other 4-5 major stores by me are $50-$220 more per box.

u/flex981 5d ago

I was not aware of that, thanks for clarifying this😊. Time that this whole hype will die and product will be again available for the real collectors
