What card(s) would you spend 5000$ at?

Unless it’s absolutely trashed, I would absolutely value it more than 5k. How do I know? I would pay 5k for it no questions asked, and I’m a pretty budget conscious collector. Plus the 2014 is the first year they printed the FA, and some of them are in permanent collections, like Scott’s, and probably other high-end collectors.

With 6 available and the fact that FA trophies are almost never even sold publicly, getting a FA trophy at all is already a hard feat, let alone a FA 2014 1st place winner.

Almost all world championship cards now cost a hefty sum to purchase, but the FA are one of the more “common” ones seen released on the market, meaning you may actually come across one through the private markets, which is what I think picigipi024 meant.

Scott received 5 figures offers for his PSA 10 copy. He didn’t give numbers, but I think it’s safe to say a NM/M ungraded would fetch $10k at the very least. If I found one for $5k, I’d probably insta buy it with my credit card and pay 20% interest no problem. lol

@pokeuniverse I like your choice of cards you have decided to purchase. I’m not sure how much you will have left, but you can’t go wrong buying a couple of PSA 10 Charizards. Some still go for $500-ish which is crazy low IMO.

Thanks! I actually have 1 base set charizard in psa 10 and one mint at PSA right now, but 500$?! They are going for 3x that right now

I think poken00b88 meant charizard cards in general (newer sets, older sets, etc.) – not just base set charizard.

Haha, glad we’re both on the same page!

I’m honestly not surprised for that 5 figure offer…I’ve gotten pretty tempting offers too for my FA pika, and mine’s a 2nd place 2015!

So I have set aside ~5k in budget to buy some cards and wonder what you guys would have bought?

I’m seriously considering getting a low end trophy card like the pop 1 psa 10 miracle diamond card or maybe the master scroll
but feel like I need help seeking alternatives.

I also have a chance picking up the three legendary beasts: entei, raikou and suicune in 1st ed psa 10 for 4500$.

I’m also considering sealed products, any thoughts on that?

Apologize in advance if this is the wrong thread.

Trophy Kangaskhan would be my choice for $5,000. That’s the one card I don’t have that I should have put the money down on as the opportunities arose, but never did. Although to be honest I only recently decided I wanted to own one.

If I remember correctly the production numbers on the Uni-karp were somewhat questionable, having a very loose estimate of what amount was released. A few numbers were tossed around (100, 150, 1000, etc.) but none totally verified. Scott can say more accurately than I. The Trophy Kang estimate based on information from attendants of the event was more substantiated.

[smpratte]

Unikarp had an intended distribution of 1,000. We haven’t seen anywhere near that, but we at least know there are more than 30-50 released as people previously assumed.

Trophy Khan at this point is the front runner for the lower tier trophy cards. It appears less frequently than karp. Keep in mind both are ridiculously rare, but kanga usually appears even less. Also as @jkanly mentioned, the opportunity to buy a copy was a couple years ago. Now Played copies will most likely run 5k. Anything that is even close to NM is well above that mark.

[jjnoriega]

I think for $5k I would buy any old Pikachu trophy regardless of conditions. Realistically speaking they are wayyy over that price now and I’m glad I got mine when I did. I think in today’s prices I would get any new trophy (full art design).

He means PSA 10 Charizards in general, not base set. Like right now Dark, Blaine’s and Stormfront are in a pretty cheap range, all are pretty solid investments.

Yes thanks for clearing that up.
I’m actually recieving one 1st ed team rocket box but havn’t decided to open it yet. It’s tempting though.

If you want to make profit, in my opinion:
1st ed PSA 8 charizards from base set is a very good option.
It’s an iconic card, PSA 10 prices have gone up since last year even, but PSA 8/9 copies went down in price. PSA 9 copies are starting to go towards their former price point again but PSA 8 are still lagging.
It’s also an easy to shift card, meaning it will sell very easily when you will ever be in need of money. Search for a clean copy that is priced right compared to others on the market and you should be good

If you want cards just for your joy, just buy whatever you like. Me personally I find joy in aquiring a card I have been wanting/searching for a long time.

Even more than Psa 8 I would say Psa 7. some Psa 6s have sold for cheap Psa 7 prices recently. its crazy.

A few months ago I got a EX-NM charizard for 1k and I still thought it was too expensive but I bit the bullet anyways.

Now, my 1k can’t even afford cullers PSA 2 on ebay

[deaddarkrai]

I think you should look at trophy cards or sealed product. Population reports rise, sealed product remaining doesnt. In fact as population reports rise, sealed product remaining goes down and i think eventually sealed product will be worth far more than cards in contains in psa 10 condition.
