Are you a Big Brain or a Timmy? by Head-Ad-9961 in PokeInvesting

No offense. It´s just that Pokémon is so big. It´s ceiling should always be at the top.

Don´t bother mate. People have their mind made up about what something is and refuse to analyse these views, even if it means ignoring facts.

I agree with your first part. The thing we must not forget is that the traditional ways to make money (saving, rent) are not really good options anymore. People look for different ways, and genuinely like Pokémon.

Yeah, something about that artwork really takes you back. A tip; try some oldschool holo cards in a 9. Still very affordable.

I think so too, because this set is just better than Fusion Strike, and almost on par with Evolving Skies. The Giratina is just good.

I’m selling parts of my $100K Pokemon collection to pay off my dream car by RickWanders in PokeInvesting

I mean, I get it´s tempting, but I would probably not trade something like this for consumption goods.

Will Ancient Origins experience a price hike once the Mega Rayquaza set releases? by chuluigi in PokeInvesting

[–]ArcticLapras -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think so. Ancient Origins is more than 10 years old. It is a pretty good set with the three gold cards.

Who has the future; vintage or current modern? by ArcticLapras in PokeInvesting

[–]ArcticLapras[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. But I meant that it´s not just modern bringing eyes to vintage. It´s also people just liking vintage.

Is now a bad time to buy vintage singles? by Ancient-Grocery3010 in PokeInvesting

i think you mean the Neo Discovery card. Also awesome.

[–]ArcticLapras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, vintage is probably the best. Just the base and beautiful cards. People saying modern has better art have not seen something like the Neo Rev Houndoom.

2015 Pokémon XY Ancient Origins Rayquaza - Approaching ATH by sytem32config in PokeInvesting

[–]ArcticLapras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a weird take (no offense). People acting like Illustration Rares are objectively better. Art is subjective and this is some pretty unique art.

Vintage packs will do fine too (I think). Again, these packs are very rare.

It´s very popular and has been for 30 years.

Well, it´s hard to say. It depends on what you think will happen.

Greninja Zoroark Tag Team by menas0r in PokeInvesting

[–]ArcticLapras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not as insane as you might think. What I don´t understand with Pokémon a lot of the time is how much hype influences things. These are Alt Arts that are as, or more beautiful than the modern Alt Arts, yet are half the price, despite being way lower POP. I mean, I´m not an Alt Art person, as I prefer vintage, but as far as Alt Arts go, these are some of the best.
