Jake, you are an absolute treasure to the Pokémon/TCG community. Your breadth of knowledge in Pokémon, human psychology, and the financial markets makes you one of the best content creators in the space. If your channel was a stock I’d be buying hand over heels because you are undervalued imo and deserve 1M+ followers. Keep it up 👍
You have the uncanny ability of putting out videos with a great message somehow just when I need to hear them. Buy things you like, take your time, and have fun people
I forced myself to take a break till next year in August. Bought a lot this year but still absorbing the content, got my stack to grade at PSA whenever I can eventually, and will collect more next year.
Good plan, I buy 2 times a year in March and oktober. This way I don't lose myself in all the hype and spent my money on what I genuinely want from past sets.
Genuinely the most honest person in this hobby at the minute. He’s in not it for the fame or the clout, he’s simply in it for others and trying to ensure people can navigate this hobby safely without being taken of advantage of. Should be very proud.
Thank you again for the great content! Love hearing a sensible voice of reason and trying to see all the angles/perspectives of what's happening right now.
I love your honest opinions and the fact that you share them so willingly is something I don’t see very often! I’d love to see you open some minder but I know you mainly do that off cam :) keep it awesome !
If you all could just zoom out of the pokemon market time line you would see a much bigger picture and would not be paper hands panic selling right now.
Delusional. The previous spike was driven up by covid . Short supply and a huge increase of demand drove Pokemon to a place it will probably never reach again. Will you see gains over the years? Sure. But if you're just sitting on product you're doing it wrong
@@donaldblumpf3260 Definition of zoom out : (of a person) to adjust the lens of a camera or (of a camera) to adjust its lens so that the image seems to be smaller and farther away The photographer zoomed out to get the widest possible view of the scene. The camera zoomed out to show a wider view of the scene. Anything else I can do for your simple mind?
Why are so much people are still willing to sell into this market. I would never think about sending cards to be auctioned off now at pwcc or other places. But no everyone loves to sell into the dip. Pokemon has an extremely immature market audience that just does not know how to handle money or know how a market works.
@@pokemonpower3707 can I have yours? You're predicting another epidemic and global shortage in Pokemon cards? Looks like they got the printers working quite well now 😂
Thanks, Jake. I needed to hear this. I'm so saddened that I cannot even personally afford the CAD$15/month it takes to be a part of your Patreon, and thus your Discord channel. Been missing you all in there... 😔
I’m bullish on veve NFTs when Al khan the guy who made pocket monsters Pokémon decides to get a license which is probably already done can’t wait for nft Pokémon packs! And NFTs
At least brilliant stars is only as massive as your mom :p lol. Still so large, but I'm holding out until I see the ridiculous amount of secret rares its gonna have

This is TH-cam! “Moderation” “patient” “rational” These arnt words we understand!!!
Always love the content, Jake! Great reminder that collecting is a marathon and not a sprint.
Thank you again for the great content! Love hearing a sensible voice of reason and trying to see all the angles/perspectives of what's happening right now.
Jake: No one panic
Remainder of TH-cam: everyone panic
Great video Jake. Important message. Thanks for hanging out on the stream Sunday!
I love your honest opinions and the fact that you share them so willingly is something I don’t see very often! I’d love to see you open some minder but I know you mainly do that off cam :) keep it awesome !
I would love if people panic sold everything. Please ! haha I’m in it for the long haul I’m not worried about the day to day drama
Buy stocks then
I've personally tapered my buying. I'm a fan of buying sealed cases of booster boxes. So I am just doing 1 per new set for a bit.
Fantastic message and really enjoying the multiple videos per week.
and I felt bad about buying the dip in Monarch Flesh and Blood. My. Heart is with the pokeman collection ppl of 2021. Mon $1k
What dip? What websites have price changes?

"just zoom out" lmao

OK Rudy

@@malassadas best compliment
Silly Jake, moderation is for 2018!
WAIT your telling me my evolutions charizards aren't going to the moon?
If this past year was truly a bubble it’s possible this could be the bull trap. Only time will tell 🐂 🪤
Jake is the Goat 🐐
Buy the Reprint :P
Really wish I was more financially able to invest into graded stuff right now
🤙
Proud of you, sweetie!!
Can't wait for the cute little "arrow ball" T-shirt you sent!
-xoxo
I have never had trouble selling vintage raw like I am right now . It’s no worries but usually after a week of listing these cards would be sold

This isnt a dip lol this is how things are going to be for years.
@@Techno4more can I have your crystal ball please?
@@pokemonpower3707 can I have yours? You're predicting another epidemic and global shortage in Pokemon cards? Looks like they got the printers working quite well now 😂
The only way to win now is to flip and get a nice short term gain while it's hot, and buying back in when it hits rock bottom which it hasn't yet
@@Techno4more when did I say we need another pandemic for prices to go up again at a healthy rate? Please work on your reading comprehension skills

Skipping fusion strike because it's as massive as my Ex. Can't wait until briliant stars.
At least brilliant stars is only as massive as your mom :p lol. Still so large, but I'm holding out until I see the ridiculous amount of secret rares its gonna have
I wanna know who is saying all this! Like i know you arent lying when you provide these examples but i just wanna know haha like Take Credit out!?!?!?
The past few years in this market has been like dating a Bi-Polar stripper who’s off her meds.
Buy at the peak, sell at the dip
Yep you just said exactly what the market is like right now
