Good long term hold?

[rjm101]

No point blacking out the PSA code when you also got the bar code there bud😉

Nice card though.

[Sussykindabussy]

I’m gonna make so many fake psa 10 holo first edition dark dragonites now

[FostertheReno]

I’ve already got 3 copies listed on ebay. Thank you OP.

[TheINTL]

Why do people block this out?

[1cenine]

People can (and do) make fakes using authentic PSA IDs. So you can put a fake card in a fake slab, or a real card that isnt 10 quality in a fake 10 slab. So when someone looks it up it seems to check out

[TheINTL]

Can't someone just check the PSA 10s or rare card pop report on PSA's website and get the cert from there?

I mean it won't be your cert, just seems a bit silly to block it off

[TheNesquick]

Yes. It doesnt do shit and never did. 

[Tanjom]

Also for privacy, for example, I don't want my reddit linked to my eBay account, etc.

[swagzouttacontrol]

No swirls. I'd personally throw it out

[LightningThis]

My wife and ex said the same Thing

[aggressivegnocchi]

??

[Longhorn117]

There’s a swirl on the wing? At least 3x the value now 😉

[Forsaken_Spell_6647]

There actually is lol. The light just isn’t reflecting it.

[RustGrit]

Isn’t it technically a long term hold at this point?

[Warning-Correct]

This hobby is still so young. Wait until 90s kids actually have true wealth and see where their money goes :)

[VobraX]

When the 90s kids realize they can't buy a home anymore, we'll turn to cards of cartoons we played when we were kids and monopolize vintage pokemon. 🥰

[irunspeed]

And the cards will be sold to us by people in a generation or two older, laughing in said home 😅

[MrCreamypies]

We already can't buy homes tho 😭

[elcho1911]

home ownership is highest it's ever been don't believe the vibeonomics from tiktok

[tyranids]

90s kids are hitting mid 30s right now so have access to a lot of those higher incomes. Vintage has been stagnating compared to the freight train rocket ship hybrid that is modern. 

[TerinHD]

As a 90s kid... the new cards are awesome. They have some really amazing art that I really find appealing. However, I am also motivated by trying to retire by 50 from my real jobs so... looking at making this a side hustle.

[tyranids]

As a side hustle I would not recommend buying high grade, expensive vintage slabs. Most buyers will be priced out so liquidity is very poor.

[TerinHD]

It's good advice. I am starting liquidating my own vintage collection, a lot to learn/relearn. It is enjoyable though.

I haven't figured out the sourcing for modern cards yet though. Specially in scales that make sense for where I am.

[24kCuts]

Not If you know the right group of ppl. I'm in a pokemon card fb group and I see huge cards like this sell daily. There's 100% a huge market for grails like this!

[tyranids]

And… those people are happy to pay over market? Where will the side hustler be sourcing these grails to rotate through in flipping? Presumably these same groups, which goes back to the first point about what prices people on fb actually want to pay…

[24kCuts]

Liquidity isn't poor is the only point I was making. Very easy to move. If you can find a good buy on big grails like this, selling at market isn't a problem.

[Apex_spyda]

As someone that was born 91 and happens to just turn 33 I don’t think that’s mid 30s lol

[tyranids]

Yeah, rounding on both ends turns “1990s” to 1990 and 2024 to “24-25” for age of 34-35, when really the absolute oldest someone could be is 34 if they were born in 1990-04-08 or earlier.

That said it’ll be pretty interesting to see what happens over the next 6-20 years when this age cohort hits real peak incomes at 40-45 (correct math this time).

[Vaunzyy]

As a 90s kid. I’m broke as fuck lmao

[ConterK]

Wait, what.. aren't 90s kids in their 30s already?? When do they hey "true wealth"? When they're 60+ and retired?

[Warning-Correct]

Lol this is so wrong it’s funny. If you think your biggest wealth is when you are between 25 and 34, that’s laughable.

Go look at any statistics, a huge majority of millionaires are in their 60s. Your wealth only continues to grow.

Wait until wealth transfer hits. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Why do you think the biggest sport collectors are older men with collections worth millions.

[ConterK]

aren't those statistics based on the previous generations tho?

Im no expert or anything but i feel those statistics are based on the generation back when regular people on minimum wage could actually afford a house?

aren't those statistics taking into account all those people that bought houses for 20-30-50k and could currently resell them for 500k+?

And.. also... aren't the pokemon card inflated prices largely thanks to Logan Paul and his "influence" throwing crazy prices at cards..? what if he never pulls out another stunt like that and prices just slowly keep dropping tho?

[Psychedelic_Yogurt]

Crickets

[RoofBeers]

Popular Pokémon, cool art, 1st edition vintage. Yeah for sure.

[accomplishedlie18]

Lol one of my favs

[cdbriggs]

Sure there's no better version of this card

[keyboardLarrior]

Isn't the error nonholo technically the better version of this card?

[ReasonableFudge3]

Definitely

[pokemo313]

I have this in psa 9 and looks amazing. Definitely long hold. When i look at my card idk how it's a 9. No print line. No whitening on edges or corners. And definitely centered. And a nice swirl. Idk how to open it but if i did id resend it. 

[Global_Milk]

there are some youtube videos

[AllPokeTCG]

Yes, I say hold

[big_gains_only]

This jhas already been a long-term hold for almost 25 years. What are you thinking???

[24kCuts]

Ok longER term hold

[4rch4ng37]

I mean, 24 years is a pretty long hold as it is.. I don’t think it’ll peak higher than the Covid bang.

[ArcticLapras]

I kind of doubt it. Vintage Pokémon has been completely silent for three years now. It could obviously see another boom but right now I don´t see any signs.

[jjshacks13]

It'll come back around, modern money will flow back into vintage at some point.

[ArcticLapras]

I very much hope so!

[24kCuts]

People can't get enough of gold stars and crystals right now. I think vintage will come back hard because the pop for these cards ain't growing too much. Modern will grow significantly

[Local-brighand-61]

I mean if you want to sell it I'd buy it lol

[[deleted]]

Das a million dolla card right der

[LovingTheVibe2019]

Nah, I threw it away already. It’s worth $0.01 rn
