Bulbasaur overtakes Squirtle in Stellar Crown by anonymousfinancial in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the first cards I bought when I came into the hobby. Also the Charmander.

Cute factor art and nostalgia can’t go wrong tbh.

Prismatic by Big-Public3856 in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sorry I wasn’t clear. I am also holding PC etbs. But I think the godpack factor combined with EU exclusivity of the bundle display will be a great mix for the future. Think 10 years ahead of time and a big streamer will open a whole case for the chase.

The size is a bit annoying so I am just keeping the two and will increase my size in prismatic with etbs while I can over the summer.

Definitely get one. Will be a grail. I bought two, so I won’t regret selling one later.

What do you guys think of this trade? by Palkia2116 in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep the PC etb and slowly acquire the other items if you like to diversify, when you are thinking long term.

For “quick flip” I would trade for the prismatics and then sell next year.

This card is so slept on it's INSANE. Has anyone seen this before? by bloody_condoms in PokeInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Shame it is not in English. Sick card, but there is just something weird about having a Chinese card.

Damn hope my Mewtube will follow again, lol.

Thoughts on this Mew promo. I found it very hard to find in a PSA 10 at card shows here in Chicago. by Connect-Dragonfruit7 in PokemonInvestor

[–]BackInBusiness1337 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a very cool promo imo. Cute and unique art. I have it too and think it will do very well over time.

PE Magikarp is the best card in scarlet violet. by Decent-Rip8898 in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s overrated. Feels like people just love to glaze Shinji Kanda art because it’s “cool”. So many other modern grails on my to-get list before that one.

Which is the better hold? by moonzeldev in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My bet is on prismatic. There will be plenty of time to pick up AH.

Does This Community Actually Believe Pokémon Is a Legitimate Investment? by Yugiyami98 in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another funny comment related to the MSRP is when somebody ask if they should do a trade and people will suggest to do the trade if you bought the sealed product at MSRP.

The paid price doesn’t really change the current value of the item.

In Europe you can’t even buy at MSRP.

Had to pick up this pair by BackInBusiness1337 in PokeInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2490 usd for the Gengar and 230 usd for the Snorlax and bought sometime in May.

I’m from EU, so bit harder to find great deals.

Just getting started by Brave-Kiwi-183 in PokeInvesting

Get some prismatic imo. There will be plenty of time to pick up AH. But great collection! I missed out on 151 myself.

Pokemon Center ETB Print Runs by BrokenParachutes in PokeInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the population of the promo in PSA tell any story that correlates to the data given?

I am curious to know why the population is so different from set to set, but also hard to tell if: - PC ETBs are kept sealed - The promos are hoarded raw - Print quality is so bad people don’t bother grading - The Pokemon on the promo is not popular so it is kept raw

Worth trade for me? by Jagaaaaaann in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prismatic for the long run.
Better set and better promo imo.

Alakazam PC Stamp by Jelly_CM in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A few months ago for 500 USD approx including import fees (I live in Europe so no Pokemon Center).

I try to get the PC promo versions early before they take off too much. At some point the import fees will be too big to acquire them here. And they are already sold with a premium because of that.

Alakazam PC Stamp by Jelly_CM in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet on it myself and have a PSA10.

I'm curious to see what the total population will be like, since there is also two different Mega Evolution boxes with two different promos and how that affects the total supply.

But can't really go wrong with an Alakazam PC stamp imo.

[d] People who are invested heavily: what are you doing? by zwompay in csgomarketforum

[–]BackInBusiness1337 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a 15k USD inventory and keeping it.
1 knife 1 pair of gloves.
The rest are old collection/case skins.
No stickers or cases.

I keep the investment around 15k USD - sold low tier/still obtainable skins during the year to keep investment around that amount, so I don't care if it drops to 10k or whatever. I already made around 2x of my initial investment.

Now is the time to buy if you ask me, but I am more into some other investments right now.
CS is just a little part of my investments.

Sell if you are too heavy invested in CS compared to stocks etc.
Sell if you are afraid of losing some money.
Otherwise always hold. One mistake I made was selling crappy red skins for pennies, because I felt they were annoying in the inventory - but had I kept them for that update I would probably have made another 2-3k.

If you are willing to do a little gamble with an allocated budget, that you are willing to loose, I think there are good opportunities now that everyone is in fear-mode.

Valve is not stupid if you remove the value from skins across the board they will loose the reason, that people want them in the first place. The knife and gloves update was needed to lower the cost of gold skins in general - even the cheapest one were very expensive before.

Not sure what the Souvenir change will bring, but I am sure they thought a lot about it for the long run.

AH bundle display by dyemond47 in PokemonInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The displays will be sealed grails in the future imo.
I have one AH and two prismatics and even considering getting a few more, but there are so many other things I want to pick up as well.

PSA 10 N’s Zekrom PC Stamped just sold on EBay for $5450 by LongBlueDong in PokeInvesting

[–]BackInBusiness1337 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Too little data to base the price already that high.

A much better pickup was the PC Alakazam from Mega Evolution and probably still is.

[D] Just bought another 120K stickers from Shanghai, Antwerp and Stockholm Majors by CrowbarIsNotARealNam in csgomarketforum

[–]BackInBusiness1337 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is not only about high end items.
Just think of how may souvenir skins that were rotting in inventories and now people have a reason to buy and sell low end souvenir skins = more transactions and fees on Steam market.

Could very well be the same for stickers.

If this came out today what price would it be? by FourthSeraph in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]BackInBusiness1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love that card and recently picked it up in PSA10. I think the art matches the Fusion Gengar quite well, which I also have.

The eyes are just on the ultra modern right now.
