In 500 years when Pokemon has taken off to new levels never before dreamed of, Charizard will be 1 billion dollars. We’ll have a city dedicated to Pokemon where anyone can put it on a VR bodysuit and catch Pokemon in the wild. Training Pokemon is a way of life. In fact we genetically replicated real life Pokemon but they’re not safe outside of the VR world. With all of this worldly dedication to the hobby, the now 80 copies of the PSA 10 Charizard have survived the wars. For further perspective, bread is $10,000 a loaf.
If a loaf of bread is $1 today that must mean the inflation adjustment is 10,000x, putting a 1bn zard 100k in today’s dollars. That’s a 400% real return over 500 years which translates to a 0.322% compound annual real growth rate - before ebay fees, storage and insurance cost
Sorry just being annoying
if we assume a 6.4% return over 500 years (which is the historical return of collectibles over the past 120 years according to Christophe Spaenjers from HEC Paris ) the zard would actually be closer to 591 trillion dollars

I want one so bad, I’m thinking about selling my Silverado for a PSA 10 1st edition Zard. I’ll just ride my bicycle to work. It will force me to do more cardio.
