Booster box value

[omahanime]

If you have $100,000 in Pokemon investments, how quickly do you think you can liquidate it and not take a bath on it?

I know what you meant. I was just being facetious.

I agree. I think people are better off just collecting what they want to collect and pump that kind of money into something that will actively create an income such as property or other things people have mentioned.

I am about 60% stocks, 20% bonds, 5% precious metals, 5% pokemon and 10% liquid cash.

I think 2-5% Pokemon can improve any portfolio for diversification purposes.

Does that 5% include the value of your collection?

The post was a little bit tongue in cheek but not too far off if I really think about it. That was keeping the value of my house completely out of the equation though, which would skew things fairly heavily, but I don’t look at that as an investment so much. The 5% would be the value of my personal Pokemon collection only. Not the value of inventory for the eBay business (things that I buy + sell only).
