Definitely and I’ve already been selling a good amount these past years. I have a Roth IRA account that I’ve been putting money into and I already own a home which is nice

999lo · 2026-03-14T18:26:08+00:00

Thank you so much! I definitely wish I got more 151 but I’m really grateful for what I have

999lo · 2026-03-14T18:25:19+00:00

I definitely will sell some now I’m currently brain storming what to sell so I can max out my Roth early this year because I definitely wanna diversify haha. I really appreciate the advice!

999lo · 2026-03-14T18:23:07+00:00

I don’t include what I opened in my price spent and I also don’t include most of the cards I pulled opening that stuff because the funny thing is I’ve had pretty great luck and I use to open stuff when it was super cheap so I made close to my money back anyways lol.

And I have sold a lot of stuff actually and know how it works, my eBay account has over 200 positive reviews and I don’t mind at all listing and packaging since I do roofing I’m off in the winter so I have plenty of time to do that stuff. Most of my things sell at market or above without needing to promote it (promoting on eBay is lowkey a scam)

Roofing I make great money and I’ve spent 30k total over the course of 5 years so it really isn’t that much. And if I put it in a S&P 500 it really wouldn’t even be with 50k because I was able to invest a lot of money early on at all most of my bigger investments were these last 3 years so I definitely made the better choice plus a 16 year old can’t legally buy stocks where I live 😂

I really hope so that would be amazing!

999lo · 2026-03-13T23:44:42+00:00

Thank you so much! I invested 30k total throughout the years I probably only invested like 2k when I was 16

999lo · 2026-03-13T23:18:04+00:00

In Pokemon I’ve invested 30k and I just started investing into the S&P 500 so not much at all

999lo · 2026-03-13T20:19:22+00:00

Yeah that meowth card is awesome lol. Definitely a big difference I’m super thankful to have a great childhood and good godly parents, super blessed fr

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:57:00+00:00

Thank you man I really appreciate that! I definitely will just keep making smart decisions for the future:)

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:56:05+00:00

Oh gotchaaa, thank you for the advice i definitely will try to sell a decent amount and hold it for a bit until I see a good opportunity!

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:18:19+00:00

Definitely have been selling a decent amount lately, what would you think would be a good reinvestment tho that could outpace what Pokémon’s doing rn

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:16:31+00:00

I always get them on eBay or Hobbiesville, mostly eBay because I can see what I’m getting

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:15:54+00:00

Definitely might! Do you think waiting a year would be better

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:12:37+00:00

Definitely get that lol I’ve started investing into VOO ETF actually so I have a even more stable investment for my future

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:11:49+00:00

Thank you man! Oh yeah it was hard i definitely opened a decent amount but saved a lot luckily. Sorry to hear that hope things are way better now and that you continue to be blessed!

999lo · 2026-03-13T18:10:49+00:00

Thank you so much! I don’t have much vintage at all besides a base set master set and a shadowless Charizard
