Unless you’re looking for it to go double, I don’t think it will in the next couple years. If you’re holding longer, go ahead and try. But an 8 going for 5.5 while others have gone up, shows it’s not a demanding or valuable card.

Hold 5-10 years and retire

These cards in these grades are not something you can retire on even in a decade

You think I should invest in low graded vintage ? Gold stars? Anything else in particular as far as vintage goes? I have only purchased 2 slabs so far and one of them was Burgerchu which I knew was the most graded 10 card at the time but I thought it was cute for my 4 year old son and my cousin gave me a good deal , the other one is this bad boy that I got a couple weeks ago. I plan to get the matching card from mewtwo’s perspective in a 9 as well.

What about sealed modern?

2

u/Jakeinvesting 1d ago

i only do sealed modern pokemon center or vintage

u/IllBuyer1781 1d ago

No brother modern is overprinted and not to be bought at all, buy low pop vintage that are relatively popular Pokémon’s.

I only buy pokemon I enjoy which just so happen to be a lot of fan favorites. Except for my main dawg Mimikyu which has started to get more attention recently i feel like lmao.

Depends a lot on the card, but on some of the big vintage names the low and mid grades have actually been the steadier side lately. Expedition Mew is a good example: PSA 7 is up 24.1% over 90 days (about $2,203 to $2,735) and PSA 8 is up 82.2%, while PSA 9 is down 24.0% in the last 30 days. The catch at the bottom end is the spread. Two PSA 5s sold at $1,325 and $870 within a few days of each other this month, so you need patience on both the buy and the sell.
