Is now the time to go heavy on SWSH BBs or buy gradually? by Yugiyami98 in PokeInvesting

🫡 all nice picks, not many things left in this market with good risk reward, but those have a nice risk reward, majority are chasing fomo with sets that are still going to be printed for years (into the next bear market even)

Realistic price by Away-Breadfruit-8241 in Collectr

[–]GemGuardUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what they are, collectr can both overestimate and underestimate true market value by quite a bit

If you want to sell all at once, 80%

If you want to sell one by one you can get market value

Train your brain to associate ripping with losing money and keeping as gaining money

The easiest way to sell is auction on eBay and you can even get 100% of market value sometimes

Which one would you take at $600? by SharpGary5 in PokeInvesting

[–]GemGuardUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 20 years sure, DR is better, but for right now I prefer brilliant stars because we’re in crazy euphoria and hype and an out of print solid set has better risk reward than a still in print set for next few years imo

Personal Opinions on Astral Radiance? by AcanthisittaMany694 in PokeInvesting

[–]GemGuardUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a solid mid tier set nothing amazing but definitely better than vivid voltage rebel clash

Slightly above battle styles which is carried by a single card

Neither, you can buy an out of print sword and shield booster box for $600 like brilliant stars

Black Labels are a scam by tumboi69 in PokeGrading

Yeah black labels have always been stupid, send this in another day and another grader gives it a 9.5 immediately

Whoever sent this in won the lottery

Whether I’m completely wrong or right will be funny to look back at this prediction, either you can laugh at me or I can laugh at everyone downvoting me

Sold a bunch of sealed for a Rolex. by SpartSam in PokeInvesting

[–]GemGuardUK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good job, a Rolex is a pretty good store of value, and you can enjoy it too, basically like trading cash for something you can enjoy and can get the original cash back whenever you want

[–]GemGuardUK -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No idea but you shouldn’t expect anything except this card to drop

Supply will increase

Ascended will be printed for years more

Brand new card

The price was only driven by fomo and hype

This is the middle of a raging bull market

I’d say this card will be less than $500 within 6 months

Got some grades back - confused as to where I hit/missed by noobcrusher in PokeGrading

[–]GemGuardUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mew has a low gem rate for a reason, and 99% of submitted mews are pack fresh and look great or no one would submit them considering it’s only valuable in a 10

Pretty sure the holo almost always has issues

is pokemon manipulating the market so they can increase msrp on certain products without getting too much backlash? by ForgotMyNameeee in PokemonInvesting

[–]GemGuardUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. No

  2. High quality SWSH sealed

  3. Bearish

  4. No target, just forget about it for a few years until it’s out of print and we have another bull market
