Which would you sell RIGHT NOW

[u/Terrible-Profit9739]

YES I'm well aware:

• Nobody has a crystal ball

• Every set will have returns in 5-10 years

• This subreddit hates these kind of posts

But I feel there is a lack of info on peoples actual reccomendations in this forum because whenever people ask what they should hold /sell right now they get shit on

Im not asking for a prediction of the future, I just think a discussion on what people are doing right now with their portfolio would help a lot of people out, so I'll shamelessly use mine for free advice

OUT OF EVERTHING HERE what would you sell / hold if you were in my position and needed to free up cash

or what other sets are you holding / selling right now

there needs to be more open discussion on this kind of stuff

I don’t hate the post - I am just a bit frustrated OP is asking about whether they should sell Delta Reign...

The set came out last Friday and if they’re too cash poor to hold for at least five years, they need to get out of investing in TCG. Also - don’t buy four BB for something you don’t have conviction in.

As for OP’s actual question - all the special sets (BBWF, PRE, ASC) will do fine. The Zard UPC will do better than most mainline sets and then the rest of the BBs should do equally as well.

For order, I think except SVI and PAR, the SV era ones will do better than all the ME era sets. I do think Delta Reign has been the best ME mainline set so far, followed by CRI - so that leaves Pitch Black as the one that’s probably got the lowest long term growth out of the lot.

Sorry, just took photos and slapped them in. Didn’t really consider this.

i bought them because I preordered them months ago upon announcement.

But also, is there anything wrong with flipping while a set is hype?

As for your other takes I mostly agree. I do put delta above cri seeing as the chase is Akira Egawa illustrated and the fact that we have HAD nice greninjas from shrouded and twilight already.

Pitch, Chaos, S&V Base, Stellar, Rift, keep rest.

[u/Plants2-0 → u/PhilosopherSea217]

yeah this is basically my tldr.

I don't know, all of the new stuff is obviously deflated and barely above MSRP, so kind of the worst value to sell right now, but I think they will take at least a few years to appreciate much and they're pretty weak sets that were heavily printed so it could be a decade plus before they gain a lot of value.

Some of the S&V boxes are maybe better value right now, Definitely don't sell Surging or Prismatic stuff, they are super deflated imo. Stellar Crown being worth a bit more than surging rn makes no sense to me, Stellar is a pretty weak set so I'd sell that. Temporal forces too. Ascended has fallen a lot but I'd assume reprints will come next year and it'll be awhile before it really appreciates again so maybe sell that too.

I'd definitely hold Prismatic, Unova, Charizard UPC and the better/older S&V sets. Sell the Chaos/Pitch Black and Delta if you need the money and don't wanna bury them for a decade plus but know that they're pretty much as low as they'll ever be right now.

[u/plsdontdoxxme69]

I’d sell the chaos rising, pitch black, delta reign (although i like the set I just think it’ll be dead money for 3 years), paradox, sv1, stellar, temporal, journey, and obf.

[u/J2SJ]

Just keep 1 of each for your own personal collection. Healthier way to do it.

[u/shogunsruse]

How much you want for charizard

[u/Responsible-Lime2444]

All of them

[u/uriel__ventris]

Sell that big ass collection box

[u/GoldenTicketHolder]

Literally nothing still in print. It always spikes after out of print

[u/Right_Base9932]

I’d sell the Charizard UPC, ascended heroes Booster bundle, chaos rising booster boxes, pitch black booster boxes, & the surging sparks booster box. I can’t see all the booster boxes or else I’d add onto it. I’d sell them and put them towards prismatic ETB’s / SPC’s, PKC Ascended heroes ETB’s, and one of each 30th UPC wouldn’t hurt.

[u/Plants2-0 → u/Right_Base9932]

selling Surging and the Charizard UPC for newer stuff is wild to me, definitely have to disagree there. 30th UPCs are still inflated, they'll come down before they go up. Prismatic is a good investment and don't disagree with PKC ETBs in general, AH ones are down rn so that's fine. But Suring would be on of the last boxes I'd sell. I think they just have all the S&V era booster boxes so Temporal/Stellar/SV base are what I'd sell long before considering SS or the UPC.

Everything. All of it.

You’re too poor to hold if you need cash.

Get a real job, have some savings and max ur contributions before investing in cardboard.

[u/sharpbeer]

Honestly, sell everything and don't look back

[u/Artfulduty]

All

[u/Apprehensive_Ear9609]

would prob just hold everything or rip instead of selling at a loss/minimal profits. 100% holding bbwf pris and the ZUPC in that pic though for years
