The hobby was dead in 2010 so I was picking up 1st edition Neo Destiny sealed booster boxes (the eBay listing didn’t even bother saying it was 1st edition) for under $300. Base set unlimited booster box for $100, 1st edition base set blister for $50. Was super happy with a flip I did…bought 2x 1st edition Neo Revelation booster boxes for $500 total, sold one for $350 and thought I was a hot shot.

damn wish i used the profits from collectors edition and stuff to buy pokemons back then which are worth not much more now than they were back then
To give you another sense of how the market was around that time, I was doing trades with people and someone threw in POP 5 Umbreon and Espeon gold star for free…they weren’t mint condition but I was still given them as freebies. Eventually graded them in 2021, Umbreon got a 7 and Espeon got an 8…all came from trade freebies.
