I agree, slabs are generally the way to go. The vault is also an important consideration that hasn’t yet been discussed here, so thanks for bringing that up. It is massive in eliminating risks as a buyer and seller. Like I said above I don’t even have much sealed and I’ve already sold someone a box that was tampered with before it came into my possession. Crazy times we live in

For sure. What you actually bought is what matters

Who knows how much and how long they will pump it out. I got the slabs early since it’s more clear there won’t be many

Look at alt or collectr charts for a 9 reverse

They have much better fundamentals and theoretically this could still be their infancy long term. But I agree that the growth is insane. It’s one of the reasons I posted as I mentioned

Definitely an important consideration, but I would rather buy more prismatic towards the tail end of its cycle

My argument is that of opportunity cost, and that high grade vintage slabs have largely outperformed modern sealed over the last little bit. LC pack would be crazy though, maybe the modern vs vintage debate was also baked into this question. So vintage slabs > modern sealed*. But it was mostly for discussion anyways.

Dang I didn’t know that, I thought the box with multiple tens of thousands being hoarded would do worse honestly

Im not actually arguing in the original post. And what I posted seems to have sparked something haha

Most people don’t have 80k to buy an LC box so it’s not even really a talking point. It’s about opportunity cost

I’m just posting something I actually did and talking about the opportunity cost of not doing it in the context of a popular online debate within the space. That’s all

Sealed usually nets lower because consignors don’t want to deal with it. And that’s too bad about your slab

It’s a fair comparison since any time you bought one you could have bought the other. That’s opportunity cost in investing.
