This reminds me of a similar topic from years ago. In that situation someone was between a psa 10 jp shining set and psa 9 1st ed zard. From just a money perspective, everyone was confident charizard was the clear answer. Yet the PSA 10 jp shining set is worth more today.
I think the lesson to take from that conversation is to not base these type of choices entirely on money. Also, common knowledge is not always correct. Popularity is the most overrated variable in Pokemon; there will always be a charizord available to purchase. I’d personally make the decision based more on your emotional preference.
