That’s the best advice I’ve heard. If you can afford it by a little bit of every set, I’d rather have a couple duds and take a 10% loss than miss the ones that you don’t expect to go up and gain 100%.
I get that Pokemon Center ETBs have a certain collectability to them, but I'm of the opinion that Build and Battle Stadium boxes are underappreciated. With Fusion Strike, for example, just under $100 for an ETB but BBSs are at $57. The former has 10 packs, the latter *12!* Seeing as S and S ETBs don't have any special promo cards (to my knowledge), I don't see why an ETB would be worth more. There certainly isn't an extra $40 worth of goods in an ETB compared to a BBS. That leads me to my next point: I think S and V PC ETBs will do just fine in the long run. They have 11 packs plus the PC-stamped promos, so I think they will continue to be very desirable.
My firts BB i bought was EVS, back in end 2022. Bought it for 120 euros, had 3 months delay and sold it for 240. Back then I didnt know anything about poke-investing. Learnd a LOT from that one box :D. Grateful to have had it in possession
@ gotcha. Keep in mind fees aren’t on just the profit, they are on the entire cost of the item. So for example, if you have 100k of stuff that you profited 30k on really, at 12% fees that 30k becomes 18k (not 26k). Just important context for this video IMO.
@@pokelytics4352 My portfolio consists of everything I own, including a lot of product that hasn't had time to appreciate at all. 90-95% of those gains (too lazy to do the exact math since not relevant) have come from only $20-25k of investments. Your numbers incorrectly assume I'd be selling everything.
@ okay well then by that math it means you’d be selling roughly 50k of stuff, so the fees are on the 50k total. Not just the profit. That’s my point. I think it’s just helpful context for people trying to make decisions about when to sell.
Definitely learned through your videos and other peoples that just because a sealed product or card is stagnant or going down slightly doesn’t mean it’s not a hold. Product goes down after booms but it tends to set higher floors.
151 is top of s&v, surging sparks is overrated.. that pikachu is fugly, 151 pikachu is far better looking along with all the other ir’s & sir cards from that set
Interesting strategy to move out of lower performing S&V sets. You may be better at predicting appreciation than I but I’m a buy/hold my positions. However, for example, not many predicted Fusion Strike would have the run up it has. Great example of how I didn’t guess right. Keep up the great content.
People probably didn’t predict this run up from FS, but it was pretty obvious even a year ago that ES/LO/CR/FS were much better than sets like Vivid Voltage, Battle Styles, and Darkness Ablaze. Although it’ll all move up with time, the dead weight is probably better served in the top sets.
@@PokeProfit as you Guage the market, is the price makes sense, what much would you like to end up with? I've got 4 secured thus far. Curious how bullish you feel.
I only have a case of lost origins. I'm gonna take an opportunistic approach. Preorder banger sets at msrp or less only. When Prismatic releases on the 17TH I think, I'm only buying on the pokemon center or in store
Debating if i should continue pursuing sleeved packs of fusion and lost origin, dont want to sit here next year saying "I wish i bought more since theyve doubled since"...which happened with evolving skies packs

Just to clarify have you actually sold anything or does this refer to products you’ve bought going up $30k in value?
Unrealized gains.

@pokelytics4352 Entertainment not information! This is youtube! No poketubers truly validate ancillary product!
Definitely learned through your videos and other peoples that just because a sealed product or card is stagnant or going down slightly doesn’t mean it’s not a hold. Product goes down after booms but it tends to set higher floors.
It’s just like stocks, if you miss the 10-20 best trading days of the year, you’re going to miss out on the vast majority of the returns.
Very mature take man, think so many are quick to tell people to just keep buying up product and never selling or knowing when to take an L
I wouldn’t even call it taking an L, it’s just that there are bigger Ws to be had
I really think surging sparks is one of the best sets of SV but I missed out on preordering it, I need to catch that reprint to get a case lol

You think surging sparks will continue to climb?
It’s gonna keep climbing until reprint comes.
The reprint risk is just way to high to go into this set right now
Should I buy up all the sleeved boosters of Surging Sparks for retail?
These guys really don't validate ancillary products! Confusing video?
sadly faded BB cases. went hard on ES and 151 though and made some incredible gains
Nice. Celebrate the wins!
When is the best time to sell the portfolio? Will you sell half or all at a certain time?
Most things will be a sell half/keep half investment once I can double. Holding SWSH boxes a bit longer.
Isn’t swsh all you own? So you’re hodling everything
What about ES at 1250$ can. Do you want to buy more at that price?
If I had a bigger budget I’d probably buy another box or two, but I’m putting everything for now into Prismatic.
@PokeProfit how many cases do you feel content with for that?
I’ll be happy if I can get an initial 2/3 cases of ETBs
@@PokeProfit as you Guage the market, is the price makes sense, what much would you like to end up with? I've got 4 secured thus far. Curious how bullish you feel.
At retail or even 10-15% over retail buy as many as you can possibly get your hands on @jasone42683

I wouldn’t count on getting any of the PC ETBs on release day, but should be able to get regular ones at MSRP lots of places
Your destination is failure. Sounds like you have no clue whata going on and should just stick too your day job
@ Yeah I don’t think so. I’m just saying if.
@ I maybe also try to get a case of tins or booster bundles if they allow the cap
Debating if i should continue pursuing sleeved packs of fusion and lost origin, dont want to sit here next year saying "I wish i bought more since theyve doubled since"...which happened with evolving skies packs
Congrats on the big gains!
Thank you. Hopefully more to come 🤞
Nice collection!
Thank you 🙏
Shmuck insurance is a must. 😌
Very good video bro.
Thanks for watching man, appreciate you 🙏
OP09 is gonna be evolving skies on steroids
It looks good? I don’t follow OP
@
Yes. Really good. That’s why I’m letting you know. Evolving skies on crack
If one piece manages to stand the test of time you aren’t wrong crazy good set
What makes you think that?
