    I'm with you on vintage still being the jewel in the crown. My new policy is to use the modern profits to buy higher end vintage cards.
    That guy who sold the card for 4k made a big mistake. The damage to his reputation will cost him far more than what he made. I don't like people giving him crap though. The damage to his business is punishment enough.

      It’s just getting started now.. I’m not entirely happy about it because it’s really expensive and tough especially graded cards. But I do believe it’s safer still to park my money in harder to find cards. I can always change my mind and go heavy into modern if I want. It’s not going anywhere 😎

      Yeah it's funny that vintage Pokemon is considered modern in a lot of other collecting categories. This is why I'd imagine it still has room to grow. The old heads like SMPratte and Rusty are still only mid 30's I believe. Our old guys are still so young.

      I like the idea that I got these modern grails and held them that long and see them turn in to vintage one day. That is where it is realy at for every collector.
      Besides the art dose not even compare.
      Now if there is a specific card that you had as a kid and want it again I get that. 😎

      I’m not a perfect person and neither are half the people who condemn others. Sure he did a sleezy thing selling that card but everyone acts like they are so shocked and surprised it doesn’t surprise me at all. The other thing is, he still gave the other guy his money back plus 100$. He put it on his word that he was gonna split the profit and that’s where he went wrong. But to blast someone on socials over a Pokémon card in which not one person was truly scammed out of - I think is a little extreme don’t you?

      So I just got off the phone with my local GS and they are trying to get it there. It’s nationally rolled out 3 days ago but like I suspected not everyone is trained or on board between stores nationally. Might take some time. As soon as they give me the call back and confirm they are doing it I’m gonna just drop off cards to them when I feel like it. Sub 1 cool. Sub 20 cool. No headache cool. Free shipping great? And subbing through GameStop honestly seems smart if you get good grades back and can sell to them at 85% even better get cashed out. Loving the news. Hope it’s as good as it sounds. I will reactivate my account for this if it’s worth it. Will keep yall posted 😎

    151 IS THE BEST S&V SET RIGHT NOW. SO, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!
    No other set even comes close.

    • @GrimmRipper88
      @GrimmRipper88 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @orionsires For sure! I've opened every set, and each set does have it's banger chase cards.
      It's funny hearing ppl say TM and or P Evolved is S&V's strongest set. Don't get me wrong, I like them both and have booster boxes invested in both.
      But stating they're stronger/better than 151 is like trying to convince yourself a Honda Civic is a cooler car than a Lamborghini... 😅

    • @orionsires
      @orionsires  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Upright in a ETB storage container or stacked on top one another. There was a time I would just stack sleeved WOTC holos in an acrylic box haha you don’t even need toploaders or card savers or binders. A acrylic box with sleeved holos stores so many cards. Also easy to walk around with at shows.

  • @worldofstone

    8:30 good and fair point... beyond the hate the guy is getting i think its awesome that someone would shell out 4k for that card i love to hear it... fact is all of there "investors" out here dont like it when collectors accumulate rare vintage cards because that creates a lower supply in the market and increased scarcity... what happens when collectors have 60 70% of the market of a car in personal collections thats scary to think about

    • @orionsires
      @orionsires  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I mean I just want people to really think about what happened and ask themselves deep down, what would they truly do in that situation. My only real gripe is the guy said he’d split the profit that’s where he F’d UP. Offering 100$ profit for nothing was honestly super fair, but given the fact he offered half the profit first, it’s a slap in the face. Regarding scarce vintage.. We’re approaching that time now, where it’s getting to be very obvious what to bid on or look for because you don’t see a certain card for weeks/months. Makes it way more exciting hunting them down too.

  • @jeremylewis724
    @jeremylewis724 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I disagree a bit on the Moe’s take. While I agree he didn’t scam. Moe only secured that card because the original buyer paid for him to buy the card. Anytime you buy a high end card like that you are taking a risk, a risk that Moe himself did not take as he had the original buyers money in hand. Moe would not have owned that card without the original buyers money at risk. Therefore turning around and selling in my opinion is dirty. If Moe was the original owner and took the higher bid I may agree with you, but in this case Moe only had the card because of the original buyer had paid him the money to secure the card.

    • @orionsires
      @orionsires  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Absolutely agree that what he did was dirty 1000% and yes you’re right not only did he get the finder fee but also he didn’t have to take any real risk. The part that honestly bothers me the most is him not cutting OG buyer into fair profit split. He doubled down on his word twice in this one move and it’s not a good look. Did he deserve to get blasted on the internet? Debatable 😂

    Hmm... selling your reputation and trustworthiness for $900 on live is pretty wild even if you're "just trying to keep the lights on" 😅 but that's just me. I get it though business is business even if it's with shady/scummy people. I've made trade with "friends" where I put thousands of dollars worth of stuff into someone's hands and this "friend" never paid... the only reason he's still walking among us is because I actually have love for his kids. To think cardboard is worth risking your life over... but for others they wouldn't have hesitated to get theirs back.

Everyone’s quick to trash people in this hobby and it’s toxic behavior on both sides my guy. That dude blew him up on social media because of how it made him feel. Really think about this if it were you. And again drama, which is why I usually keep my head out of it. Unsubbing over me making a valid point is kinda unfair to me as a creator honestly.
