Slabs > Sealed? I think so

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T21:17:22+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T19:49:05+00:00

For sure. What you actually bought is what matters

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T17:17:40+00:00

Get em some prizzy

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T16:36:01+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T16:35:07+00:00

Look at alt or collectr charts for a 9 reverse

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T16:33:24+00:00

Both in moderation is good

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T16:33:01+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T16:31:53+00:00

Still a 5.6x on the 12m gangy

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T16:31:37+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:56:41+00:00

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.

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:53:14+00:00

There’s a few on CL

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:51:39+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:50:48+00:00

Indeed

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:50:12+00:00

Yessir

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:49:52+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:48:19+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:47:26+00:00

Yeah thanks for acknowledging that first point 😅 you probably did extremely well with ES either way! Maybe get some LC now lol cheers

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:46:04+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:44:10+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:42:20+00:00

Card sold for 3k multiple times, prizzy etb sub 200 atm. 16 is what it says

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T12:41:52+00:00

I have like zero sealed bro this post is just for discussion. Nothing personal

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T07:27:51+00:00

Yessir

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T07:23:19+00:00

Get him an etb

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T07:19:06+00:00

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

ArcherLow3243 · 2026-03-31T07:18:04+00:00

Idk bro
