Appreciate that feedback. Keep doing you 👏

What people don’t recognize is that ones you become a collector your automatically a investor, I’ve sold statue that are over $1,000 that I just got tired of and guess what I bought them for $600. Pretty much i invested without even knowing lol.

When my Family and Friends come over for my Kids Birthday Party to my house and see all my Pokemon Sealed, Slabs and Singles Collection they just laughed all the time but I just laughed at them too just to keep conversation going I just with the flow…Only few family and friends knew the value of my Collections. 😂Great Video Mate!!!

"Specific Knowledge" --- Reminds me of Buffet and Munger's "Circle of Competence" investing principle. This was, indeed, an interesting take on the current hot topic. Well played : )

Pokémon not being a typical investment avenue is beneficial to the few that see the opportunity. When/ if Pokémon investing becomes mainstream, that’s when the rest will realize their mistake.

For sure. Though it may go the other way. It’s possible it can’t hold forever.

This was a different outlook pertaining to investing. What you are saying can be applied to various aspects of life outside of Pokémon as well.

I'm loving the content! Very practical and logical. I like to see my collection as an investment. My wife has often not been in favor of me collecting shiny cardboard (waste of money). I picked up a Moonbreon PSA 10 at $720 and seeing how it has risen to about $1100-$1200 she might recognize that it could be so much more than shiny cardboard.

@adamdonnelly2932 But that’s exactly the problem. You bought it, it has increased in value, but now you won’t sell it. If you did make consistent money from them, that’s when you demand respect for them from your wife that it might be more than shiny cardboard. But as long as you just speak of the supposed value but never sell it,specially on a card like Moonbreon which will lose lot of its value once the hype settles down, it truly is nothing more than a very expensive piece of cardboard. I struggle with that too a bit; I used ~5500 to buy the Munch Scream promo set, and justified that to my girlfriend that these have real potential for growth! And mimikyu alone is now worth around 4k (doubled), eevee is around 1k (doubled), Psyduck is 1.2-1.5k (2-3x), and Rowlet and Pikachu are currently valued about the same as back then (Pikachu did dip over 50% after I bought it but gladly it came back up). And last summer when the Japanese boom happened, Mimikyu was going for 8k and from this 5 card set alone I was on *profit* for around 10k. Sadly they came back down after that boom but still cool to sew So on paper I’m winning. But the problem is that I love the promo set so much, I don’t know if Im ever able to sell them. So essentially I have used over 5k on cardboard, justified it to myself and my girlfriend that iTs An InVeStMeNt, but never liquidating them meaning I just wasted 5k on cardboard instead of putting that money to actual tangible investments like Stocks or even towards a property. Maybe my mind changes and if they sre ever worth even more than last summer, and I could get seripus money off of them, I might liquidate them and use the money on something more ”meaningful” but right now it is a serious question whether it was good use of money or not

I love the way you’re thinking about this and couldn’t agree more 🙏 One of my overarching theories for why investing in Pokémon makes sense is this idea that there’s a cultural shift pushing all forms of collectibles into increasingly legitimate “alternative investments”. It’s just a hunch, but the more this comes true the more it builds my conviction.

I am always a bit shy and uncomfortable when it comes to sharing that I collect and invest in Pokemon cards with people I know. I think I should just show them this video if they start commenting. But seriously, there is no difference in cashing in on Bitcoin or Pokemon cards, I totally agree and I love this way of thinking! And you can also add that although the money is the same, some cards hold an extra value or a story. I doubt Bitcoin has any added value in investing like a collectible such as Pokemon cards. Thanks for the insight! Your videos are great!

This video is probably in response to the recent livestream debate of Pokemon investing. I would suggest addressing some of the arguments made in the video against Pokemon investing rather than hash out what was already said for Pokemon investing.

It will be beer on boss. Don't follow anyone else's direction only. But your own these cards are going to go up and they will go up throughout the entire history of Pokémon. That's always been the case and everyone who's. Anyone knows that and these alternate arts, which the sword and shield air produced are absolutely beautiful. Compared to vintage base at the masterpieces of art vintage is going to fall and modern 2020 to 2024 and onward.It's only going to increase in value
