the movement reminds me of the hype behind GME when that was going to the moon, but shady platforms put halts on buys. I'm all for taking a seat on this ride and letting pokemon fly high...
I'm relatively new to the investing Pokémon scene, and for years I've loved to buy sealed product. I don't plan on selling any of that, but I am just curious how much money is enough money, to start out with putting into investing each month? Do I need $1000s for starting? Or simply a few $100 - $1000? Thank you
Depends what you can/willing to spend. I would start with a bigger budget in the beginning and try to get some swsh booster boxes for reasonable prices. Then every month get a few booster boxes plus some cards if you are able to
So many collectors and money now in the hobby who would snatch up any dip for sealed and specifically booster boxes. Hard for anything to significantly drop. Especially in sword and shield.
Congrats! I was buying things I liked last 2 years and it just happened to be a ton of 151, PC ETBs, sealed promos, Van Goghs and Evo skies. I have a weird tendency of buying multiples of each as well. And best of all I did not touch any of these sets: vivid voltage, battle styles and darkness ablaze. Seeing your charted growth is encouraging me to log in my portfolio into an app. I just don’t want the euphoria of looking at the green number to slow down the process….because I know once I crunched these figures I will be speechless….
Lots of recent wins for everyone which i love to see. Right now, Battle Styles being cheaper than Darkness Ablaze and VV is criminal, so i’m going in on those. Dont mind the liquidity, I personally like the sets! Got in super early on the PC Etbs so i’m rolling some of that
I mean I have no issue with a store selling at market value. No point selling an ETB for $80 if someone will pay $160. That said, if you took preorders, that is a different story and should be honored.
Congrats man, I think rolling 1/3 of your fusion or whatever.. into prismatic is a wise move. Risky but I like it. I’d be doing something similar but I’m mainly holding Evo skies and celebrations. No point to sell any of those rn
I don’t think it’s risky tbh. If I catch any more 151/Prismatic restocks through Walmart it’ll be legit 2-3x return within the year if we continue going this way.
I just sold leafeon v and glaceon v alt art psa 10 (not even the vmax) for 650 for both market is wild those slabs were 120 to 130 each a couple weeks ago
Hey man, just wanted to ask if eBay is the only place to get a good price range for older vintage sealed stuff. Found a jungle booster box for $250 on fb marketplace but eBay’s got em going for $150-175 cad. Don’t wanna insult the guy if he’s trying to profit, but according to eBay, it’s not worth it
$250 for a pack maybe, not a box lol. TCGplayer also has packs, but the sellers there are so lazy when it comes to uploading pictures for expensive products. And you can only message sellers after the purchase which is another dumb feature on that platform.
I’m going to assume you meant a pack, not a box? EBay gives you buyer protections. Buying through Marketplace is fine if you’re buying from a reputable seller, but I wouldn’t be willing to pay more than eBay, just my opinion:
@ no it really was the fossil box set with Aerodactyl on the front but I decided to pass after just looking through eBay listings and stumbling up on those sketchy sights that are too good to be true
Brutal portfolio. Im happy for you. I have learnt a lot of your channel and finally i reach 10k euros of sealed product. Big hug Sir. Happy new year brother!
Hey man. I hadn’t seen you comment in awhile and was actually wondering where you went. That’s an awesome milestone, congratulations. Happy new year to you as well. Hopefully it is a good one for you and your family full of exito!
This is really insane indeed. I've been stocking up on sets post Evo Skies since around September when I've come across product for a reasonable price. My sealed product has increased in price collectively by over $100 in just a day (going by market price yesterday compared to today) - all I've got is around 10 Booster boxes, maybe 20 ETBs, some 70 loose packs, and a few special boxes and bundles. I've got a ton of singles as well, but they only went up by around $30 the past 24 hours by comparison.
singles generally peak early and have a hard time climbing higher than initiial high over long term. I would take that $1100 cash and buy an evolving skies booster box or 2-3 lost origin/fusion strike box combinations, whatever you can get with $1100. Long term ES will remain king, you can't go wrong with either of those 3 sets. Lost origin will probably go up sooner before fusion does again, but both could just be seeing rapid increases over the year. Again, safe bet for any of those 3 boxes.
I mean the guy throws out a new number every video for views but he at least puts his money where his mouth is and built massive positions last year. Truly based.
all bad sealed sets will rise. Even the worst sets are safe bets, but you could take that same money and put it towards a powerhouse set and be able to sell it quicker down the road when you're ready to sell.
I think it depends on the final year of sv era sets ... if they are banger sets, I could see people going back to sv era since it cheaper comparing to swsh bbs and have a bigger position
At this point, is it crazy to think BSTARS and LO will be $300/$400 respectively by February?
Crazy if it isn't
Yes
I see all of them at 500 a box end of 2025 maybe not b styles and vivid but the rest forsure
We have to hit a wall at some point. This is insane
LO Is $400 now it seems based on sales
the movement reminds me of the hype behind GME when that was going to the moon, but shady platforms put halts on buys. I'm all for taking a seat on this ride and letting pokemon fly high...
My bank balance can't keep up with it...!

I think 1000 is a good because u could buy sum sword and shield boxes

Any number is fine. Don’t listen to anyone else and invest what your budget allows you to invest. Be smart about it and good luck!
Why not mention the store you bought from? What’s the play on that?
They’ve been sold out for months. I’m just waiting to see what happens to my preorders.
Let’s pray for our prismatic ETBs to come through. Papa bless.
Fingers crossed!
Appreciate the support man, thank you 🙏
At this point. Not one TH-camr knows what their projections be like for 2025. They literally are as new as others.
So many collectors and money now in the hobby who would snatch up any dip for sealed and specifically booster boxes. Hard for anything to significantly drop. Especially in sword and shield.
Could Evolving Skies be a 2k box by end of year?!
4k
It may surpass 2k.
I got 863 boxes. 😘
@@AussieMatttt no you dont
at this rate ES could hit $2k in a few months for all we know and $3k-$4k by end of year
Anybody else find Fusion Strike etb’s at their Target today? One of my Targets stocked 2 Fusion Strike and 8 Pokemon Go etbs today???
Not a single Pokemon item at my local Walmart 🥲

Great buys! I’d encourage you to log just for organizational purposes as well.
The market for sealed product is eBay not TCGPlayer
The *often cheaper* market, sure, but those are still legit sales.
I just had an offer for a minty ES booster box at $1350 AUD and she couldn’t understand why I said no to the offer lol.
I’m waiting for when she comes back with $1500 and you still say no 😅
It’s crazy I wake up and see lost origin cases selling for $1925 and $1990
Lots of recent wins for everyone which i love to see. Right now, Battle Styles being cheaper than Darkness Ablaze and VV is criminal, so i’m going in on those. Dont mind the liquidity, I personally like the sets! Got in super early on the PC Etbs so i’m rolling some of that
Thank you for saying what has to be said about the blatant scalping by LGSs of brand new product.
I mean I have no issue with a store selling at market value. No point selling an ETB for $80 if someone will pay $160. That said, if you took preorders, that is a different story and should be honored.
I still have three evolving skies booster boxes bought at release. Should I sell them now?
Hold as long as possible that set is 🔥 will continue to go up
It’s your choice, but I’m not selling any evolving skies currently
Awesome Canadian channel
Thanks man I appreciate you 🙏
Congrats man, I think rolling 1/3 of your fusion or whatever.. into prismatic is a wise move. Risky but I like it. I’d be doing something similar but I’m mainly holding Evo skies and celebrations. No point to sell any of those rn
Did the same thing... sold enough fs bb to cover 10 pre pc etb
I don’t think it’s risky tbh. If I catch any more 151/Prismatic restocks through Walmart it’ll be legit 2-3x return within the year if we continue going this way.
@ I def agree , not much risk
I just sold leafeon v and glaceon v alt art psa 10 (not even the vmax) for 650 for both market is wild those slabs were 120 to 130 each a couple weeks ago
Nice plays. Pokemon is booming!

Jungle booster box for 250 is not possible. I think you’re mistaken lol

fk me, astral radiance..... 19 listings on tcg player...
Congratulations on enjoying the ride bro, TBH I think we are all in disbelief right now 🤣 Who knows what 2025 brings?
The people who can keep up will profit
Brutal portfolio. Im happy for you. I have learnt a lot of your channel and finally i reach 10k euros of sealed product.
Big hug Sir. Happy new year brother!

Your first sentence is why I clicked on this video. So thank you 😂
sold a Gengar vmax psa 10 I got for 500 for 1100 cash, hope i don't regret it.
singles generally peak early and have a hard time climbing higher than initiial high over long term. I would take that $1100 cash and buy an evolving skies booster box or 2-3 lost origin/fusion strike box combinations, whatever you can get with $1100.
Long term ES will remain king, you can't go wrong with either of those 3 sets. Lost origin will probably go up sooner before fusion does again, but both could just be seeing rapid increases over the year. Again, safe bet for any of those 3 boxes.
You more than doubled your money, not something to feel bad about
Rampant speculation XD
Buy high sell higher
Rudy was right when he said all swsh bb will be 500 minimum. No one wanted to listen smh. I did…
I didnt doubt rudy
A lot of smart people did, or knew it without him. I mean look what happened with Sun&Moon..
I mean the guy throws out a new number every video for views but he at least puts his money where his mouth is and built massive positions last year. Truly based.
@@PokeProfit yep, I’m glad we did too! Thanks to you and him I’m killing it!
what? never seen a bull market before? LOL classic timmy. Shrouded Fable to the moon! 😶🌫️
Yes buy shrouded fable! 4head play🤑
Timmy dumped his little bags way too early. But hey peofit os profit eh lol
Im straight chilling on a gold mine
I’m confused, are you calling me a Timmy? 🥹
Welp I guess Shrouded Fable looks like a good buy low opportunity
It might do alright, but I'd say it's likely better to save your money for something else.
all bad sealed sets will rise. Even the worst sets are safe bets, but you could take that same money and put it towards a powerhouse set and be able to sell it quicker down the road when you're ready to sell.
@@InTheZone85yeah I was just be sarcastic. I don't have almost any position in SF
@@erics411 The greninja and kingdra promo are good
@@erics411 I figured, no one's serious about shrouded, but that may help it down the road and supply will be super limited
Sell the wife sell the kids sell the house buy pokemon
Don’t forget about your kidneys!!
@@PokeProfit this man gets it. Love it.
LO and FS $750 by the end of the year. ES $2000 by end of the year
3000 maybe 4000 actually. Time stamp this message.
