While everything is really cool, this video is kinda like an epiphany. Shows how much rare and significant Japanese cards are. I don’t think anyone would pay $500,000 for a collection with no Rare Japanese cards/items in it.
While it’s an incredibly amazing collection of cards on it’s own, I think it’s going more for volume than for rarity, which in of itself isn’t bad. But to someone like myself or other collectors, mostly people would be going for maybe a couple of cards in the lot than everything else.
Furthermore, where would someone store something like this?? I live in a pretty adverage home and there’s no WAY I could store it all unless I hollowed out the roof space…
the collection is amazing just Rusty showing off a lot of the cards many people dream about owning or even having. I do agree I see only certain things people would go for like the boxes and a few random stuff and the base set items. those boxes are crazy and that would be hard to store. heck looking at the video it would fill my room up in no time.
If your talking no rarities, trophies, shinnings. Big gold stars. Then japanese will still be a great long term investment.
but overall english will always destroy all lifeforms, i think the market for english is much largerb. Thats not to say that there are those will not pay a high price for the rare japanese cards. Other day no rarity blastoise mint 9 went for like 1200aud around at auction. Days later after it though, the english 1st ed blastoise went for 1500usd ungraded. So those 2 sets are constantly outpacing each other at auction… its so unstable, the competition is real! BUt the no rarity charizard went for almost 3kusd ungraded, and I dont think a 1st ed shadowless ungraded has beaten that yet
I got an offer for 1400usd on a psa 10 gold star 1st ed charizard other day, pretty dam good. Never underestimate the powerb of charizard! no matter the language
At $500k in today’s current market there wouldn’t be profit in piecing it out. It would take thousands of hours of labor (and more cost) to both acquire it, store it and piece it out. It would be a large loss endeavor at this time. I went through and approximated a lot of stuff on the high end and $500k just isn’t there unless you go full retail on all the more obscure things that sell slowly.
Maybe in a few years if things keep going up the way that they are… but I am sure the $500k price point won’t be static as years pass.
