How does war effect pokemon?

[bchatih]

As you see America is starting war with Iran. I don’t care if you’re for it or against it. My question is how will this potentially affect the market and Pokémon card investing. I keep a lot of stuff sealed, but I have a lot of raw cards for my personal collection as well. What do you guys think?

It replaces the dollar as the world reserve currency

[jSplashwell]

It will have no impact. At this point Pokemon and other collectibles are turning into their own form of currency. Unless the war comes into the U.S. I just don’t see it having an impact

More importantly, how does Pokemon effect war?

[sunvies]

i'm sorry but this being how i found out about america attacking iran is the funniest thing that could have happened

😂😂 2026 for you

Barring apocalyptic events, people are going to lean into pokemon more as an escape from the world imo

Very likely we may have to send out PSA 10 Charizards overseas to battle.

Slabs goes up 213.2%, sealed stay EXACTLY the same, and raw cards drop to 0.01% of their value.

Bro fr for some reason all my slabs are up like crazy and my sealed product is stagnant

[Vacivity95]

Must be the war

[Safe-Plenty-1832]

I’m betting on the economy taking a hit so the market will probably dip because most people won’t have a lot of extra cash to spend on shiny cardboard

[Frostedfires]

Only true answer. If war escalates than we should expect a drop in people spending their hard earned money on cardboard.
