    I pulled the trigger on SV era earlier this year with SV base, Paldea, OFlames, Paradox and 151
    If these SIR prices keep climbing or hold for Twilight, then the second half of SV should be insanely good. And I’ll have to pick up positions in Temp Forces, Twilight, and Shrouded. Nostalgianomics was really the first channel that I became a true member of and have agreed with Alex on a lot of his points. I have been in TCGs for over 20 years. Alex knows his shit.

    Good vid. My kids got me back in this hobby but I realized it’s a fun way to teach them how to invest and be business minded. I’m going the minimal sealed booster box long term route while having fun and opening some and buying slabs that we like.
    This also teaches discipline for them and me 😂 imagine as a kid having sealed boxes in your room and not opening them so hard.

    making a business out of pokemon cards seems wild to me, wayyyy too much work. works really nice as a buy and hold investment (that you can literally hold) for long time horizons. im a collector/investor, and i try to get a balance of what i like and what i think will grow. buy some stuff and let it sit for half a decade, check on it every now and then, make your money and dont stress like you said 53:00.
    43:40 this is super important and i dont think enough people are aware... i often find myself spending hours looking for the best deals and debating with myself if i should try to find X cheaper, only to have to step back and ask myself if that $5-10 per BB is worth my time and sanity. usually the answer is a hard no.
    good real talk, thanks.

    Can't remember if it was this video you mentioned that no one shares their revenue vs cost when it comes to card shows. I recall watching a video from Dylan (the bulbastore guy) and him saying that he would have to sell $10k worth of product to break even after all expenses (table cost, hotel, flight, etc.). I also think he mentioned that he doesn't really make much off of card shows and that his real revenue comes from CZcams videos.

    • @buffalobill9793
      @buffalobill9793 Před měsícem

      Buying singles is way cheaper and you can just buy the ones you want. So strictly from a dollars and cents point of view that's definitely the way to go unless sealed appeals to you and you have the willpower to make it work. The fun thrill and excitement though is all wrapped up in the packs. The fun is ripping packs, the excitement is the anticipation and the thrill is pulling the big hit. You miss out on that buying singles. No story to tell or video to show the grandkids of the time when you pulled your Moonbreon. Unless you want to tell them about the time you drove down to your local card shop and forked over $1000 for your Moonbreon but that will most certainly bore them. I don't personally buy singles preferring to rip my own cards. However in order to make it work and satisfying you have to accept the fact you aren't going to catch em all. As well you need to learn to be happy with the hits you do get and not get carried away trying to pull a specific card. That can be fun though if it's somebody else's money and not your mortgage payment or rent money.

    What type of collector are you?? That hit home, I’m a collector first, investment is great if it’s there but I don’t care tbh. I want master sets that’s my thing, that’s it. I work for the NFL I don’t need to invest. I try to just rip all my cards to be fair, let’s be realistic, I could just buy everything and be done. I enjoy the process. There is a dark reality to this tho, I agree. You gotta have the money first of all, everyone wants the opportunity to own that “ONE” card. I don’t own social media so I don’t care, I just like the hot topics.

      @@NostalgiaNomics that’s so true, I got rid of social media 4 years ago. At first, I was all over the place buying anything and everything POKEMON wise. Finally realized that I just love opening packs or finding sealed product and opening it, safe to say that people holding sealed product is for people like me to open in the future and making master sets. It’s very hard and does burn me out but it’s the most fun to collect imo. What do you actually enjoy, your always sharing knowledge but what’s your goal? I’ve always wanted to ask you that.

    What are you talking about? 151 people buying 70 or 50 , this is irrelevant on the long term. Like people were saying $200 evolving skies was too expensive , when it went down to $150...then its now $700. 151 japanese long term could be 300 or more. Are you advising people to buy paldea at current price, 120? When a reprint could send the price to 70-80?

      @NostalgiaNomics  Před měsícem

      Look man I can tell you either love Japanese or have a large position in 151. Either way I'm not here to talk down anything. I'm just warning people to be careful and understand the market Japanese is in now. Sure it could go back to 200 bit it also may not. Sure 70 could be a good pick up or maybe this next reprint crushed it and it doesn't even make it back to 70 for a year or 2. I don't personally think that will be the case but all I am saying is people were selling the idea that 151 was a "guarantee" for so long at so many price points and people have lost a lot of money following that advice. Just use caution is all...
