A Lesson From My 9 1st Ed Base Booster Box Auction

I also can’t believe that was 2 1/2 years ago. Wow. Did not feel that old.

from the article: “I can’t tell you if it’s a good price (a similar booster set apparently sold for over $9,000), and if you have that kind of money to drop, you’re probably better off investing it in literally anything else.”

Lol and the guy who dropped the $9k is looking at a minimum 500% return over 3 years XD

Man this hobby just keeps getting crazier. I’m glad I’m an ungraded set collector primarily. Though my next big project requires 1st ed base, do you think raw card prices will increase?

For sure. My dream isn’t to be a solo act. It’s to start a museum and publish regular chats with everyone who knows what they’re doing.

Step one to making that happen: Get a viral social media company to post clickbait? Lol. Not sure. It’s a work in progress.

From this set? Yes lol

Haha…that is sooooo funny. Churlocker may have a chance to throw that back in his face hehe.

I’d invest in that as soon as I understood it:)

A while back I recommended to Scott that he should do a series of YouTube interview videos. People like maybe me;), Joe Orlando, Eddie Brennesholtz, Rusty, Glenn, Rudy from AI, Nick, Zack, etc etc. I told him he’d get a ton of views. He loved the idea but would have to figure out the specifics.

look garinson… We have had this chat before.

I am entitled to your earnings. And you should have sold the boxes to me.

Because you didnt i expect you to sell me the 1st ed shadowless for price of 2 and half years ago.

it is only fair.

Given I can get 1 st ed shadowless zard for a trade of no rarirty zard… You should in turn give me 4-5 1st ed shadowless zards in psa 10 since were keeping my zard at current market value, and yours at 2 and half year ago value.

To fufill my destininz… THe current plan. IS to then relist the zards at 500k and then buy 4 boxes. Then atleast you have made up for half of what could have bIn.

That is more or less the concept of a podcast I intended to do as soon as I could negotiate all the travel. It’s possible I’ll pursue exactly that right after World’s next year.

I remember that listing… doesn’t seem like it was 2 1/2 years ago :tada:

The ultimate dream of every collector, to have one of those boxes… let alone 9!

I was thinking it’d be cool to make a documentary where you’d do something like this. It would be fun to produce/watch and if done well would likely be viral.

I don’t have the skills or enthusiasm to pursue this though so if there’s someone interested, please steal my idea.

Excellent. I’d even participate/invest in that with you.

It was possible back then.
I remember about 2012 or so I bought a box in partnership for, an even for its time, ridiculous 800.00. You can check me on that. I bought it with Eddie B lol. Of course we opened it and I do recall we pulled 4 Lass’s and a PERFECT Charizard that got a deserved 10. Biggest lock 10 I ever pulled:)
800.00. How crazy was that. It could still happen today;)

Hit the nail on the head scotty boy. Maybe find a finance news site lol. Unfortunately I feel like you’d have to hit up a unilad here or there to actually get a story written. Unless… we make our own Pokemon collector magazine

Deal…
