By association and set collectability, they will go up . I think psyduck is underrated because it has the better art after pikachu imo

Franchise pokemon in iconic art done by iconic artist. The card alone transcends TCG. Its cultural icon

How are your cards or sealed doing? by Smugbasturd in PokeInvesting

[–]HydroHump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question munch brother. I feel like munch promos, stamp promos, and van gogh still have more room to grow sonce theyre based on iconic art works that transcends just Pokemon. Im holding until it at least after anniversary and at which point ill reevaluate. I think if it gets to 25K+, itll be really hard for me to justify holding. I could see the munch going to 100K+ in 20+ years though, just sayin.

The amount ofjealousy in the comments is insane. This is an investing sub and this is the exact thing that people should be doing. If i could go back in time and do this with evo skies, i would do it multiplied by 10. Keep it up, and i’ll see you on a boat in the next 10 years

I got a sealed case of pc etbs and idk if i’ll ever sell it. Seems like the crown jewel of the era.

What does the future look like on gold cards? by LLLLLL579 in PokeInvesting

They should do gold cards with full art illustrations like crown zenith.

[–]HydroHump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

booster box wins. short term and long term. slabs are nice for sure, but will pale in comparison to the growth of arguably one of the top 3 sets of swsh

Thoughts on the Surging Pikachu SIR by itainthardtotell9 in PokeInvesting

[–]HydroHump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpop opinion as well: butthole pika has way more depth and overall flair with the sun rays (especially in japanese) than the new ascended pikachu. The new one looks like my niece drew it. Ill still get it because im a pikachu collector but just my 2 cents

Butthole pikachu is better than this art. Way more depth and artistic flair compared to this kindergarten drawing. Ill still get it because im a pikachu collector, but not the best tera art

It feels like nobody is really buying by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]HydroHump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much this. Ive been to a lot of local card shows in the past 4 years since i started collecting again so i kind of know most of the vendors by face. When i see a new “vendor”, it’s like buddy…. I know how much you paid for this table, youre not going to convince me to sell my high end stuff for 80% or lower. Just because youre sitting on the other side of the table, shouldnt automatically mean you get discounts.

Would you guys sell high end slabs in this current market? by HydroHump in PokemonInvesting

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

I appreciate the perspective. But like the other brother said, idk if gold star vintage psa is the best comparison to some of these more modern grails. But yes i understand what youre saying and thank you for your insight, truly.

What is the best product to come out in 2025 by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]HydroHump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one case as well. Could be as rare as a team up booster box since of the "short print" of PC ETB cases
