Some idiot influencer must have shilled it based on the Pikachu balloon I’m guessing.

Today I found out that my (probably) most expensive card is this:
A card I randomly picked out of a bulk purchase. I paid £0.20 for it and graded it myself.
I noticed because I got an ebay ad for a regular reverse holo selling for $20
some of these sales are mental
There is only 1 listing and no sales for years, for the PSA 10…
but then I realised… Who’s that? In the background? Could it really be him?
It all makes sense!!

I saw that this week too, because the Pikachu reverse cosmos is also going wild. One of the Pikachu reverse cosmos sold in a PSA 10 at auction for $1K. (…It has probably 2x since last week.)

Personally, i’m retiring off bitcoin. Never did understand why people use the TCG as an investment vehicle.
Let me just check where the market on BTC
is, I bet my investment from that all time low a few months ago has tripled by now!

$18K for the retired CGC label Pichu is crazy.
I ain’t watching that
Both of you are wrong.
I’m retiring off a balanced and diversified portfolio of Labubus, NFTs, Funkos, and Beanie Babies.

The newest narrative building up on social media is “Primes are the next Gold Stars”. These are not particularly rare cards; they were roughly the same pull rate as modern GX/V/ex Pokémon. What’s next - they’re gonna say “actually, those base rarity GXs, Vs, and exs are all super underpriced” and pump them to like $50+ each for raws.

It’s not fully balanced until you start adding UK driving tests to your portfolio

If it can be bought & sold, it will be scalped
Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does not. The problem with people (not referring to you) is that they like to think they know (almost) everything. The truth is, we simply don´t. There might be a big dip ahead, there might not be.
What I do know is that the line so far (with dips here and there) has always been up. We can argue about that, but that is pointless since it is a fact. That does not mean that it will stay that way, but it might.
Let me put it this way (in line with what Rudy often says); Pokémon seems to know what they are doing. But here´s the thing; always think for yourself, because remember, no-one knows.

Whether or not there’s a big dip, I just hope the jerks who don’t actually care about Pokémon get out.
Roy Raftery, a trading card expert at London-based auction house Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s, told CNBC that most buyers at his firm are people “looking for high-end assets” rather than genuine collectors. (1) Or, they’re businesses looking to buy up cards and resell them to make a profit — a category of collectors referred to as “scalpers’”by genuine Pokémon fans.
