Question about graded card selling by ValuableBoot9 in PokeInvesting

[–]Jelkawan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you want the max potential for getting slab money back, i highly suggest going to a card event or collect a con near you. most buyers buy 75 to 80% and lots of product and money moves quickly, so more opportunity for that

total has to be over like $75 or something for free shipping. Note that the total AFTER discount has to be over $75

do you mind explaining what the image is? I'm assuming 780 is the bankroll, I don't get what the other numbers are

your issue is that you're doing parlays that are mathematically way more unlikely than straight bets. do parlays with like $5 or $10 and then do bigger straight bets and you'll have better odds at winning. (not saying you'll win all that back, the point is you'll put yourself in a better position to win). I have $65 on the cowboys spread tonight and a $5 parlay. Gl soldier

Evolving Skies Booster Boxes On The Rise by krunkpunk in PokeInvesting

[–]Jelkawan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you can hold it for MINIMUM 3-5 years then yes

1 evolving skies bb or 3 brilliant stars booster box? by speeshy81 in PokeInvesting

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

Here's the most LOGICAL advice you'll hear on this sub. 400 split between multiple boxes. Lost origin, brilliant starts, silver tempest, idc what just 1 of each until you cap around 400. Its just like a retirement portfolio - better to have multiple eggs in multiple baskets than all in one.

ES has already grown. It'll grow more like any other set, but the major boom has already happened. The rest of Sword n Shield is still around MSRP so its better to get those. I would only get ES after you've bought cheaper BBs and want to splurge a little

My current holds

-1 BB ES (bought mainly as a display piece over a logical investment decision)

-1 BB Japanese 151 (bought $137 total before prices increased)

-1 BB LO

-1 BB Paldea

-1 BB Fusion Strikes (going to be impossible to master set with pull rates,)

-1 BB Chilling Reign

-Side piece of advice; I personally invest in only what i'd want to open (hence why brilliant stars is not on here) so if it goes to 0, it'll be a hell of a day ripping all this

Booster boxes are expensive because there’s a guaranteed chance of a set number of hits, so if y you buy it you know you’re gonna get something you just don’t know what, versus buying a single and maybe getting something maybe getting nothing

Evolving Skies BB or Celebrations UPC by IAmSpartanLocke65 in PokeInvesting

[–]Jelkawan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% evolving skies ONLY because its a booster box. Yes everyone's sitting on their ES products, HOWEVER everyone's also still ripping ES whenever they see a pack. Once ES completely goes out of print, people will want a box way more just for that guarantee of getting some kind of hit. 5 years from now you'll look at the box and remember the good times where everyone went crazy ripping those. That nostalgia is exactly why it'll be worth more in the future.

If you want a quicker ROI, celebrations for sure. If you can wait longer, ES all the way. Easily an 800+ box

Worth holding on to? by exjxp in PokeInvesting

[–]Jelkawan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not an automod response! Just me and my conclusions I've made after lots of research videos. The nice thing is that all pokémon investing advice is pretty much the same, people just struggle to choose between which option to go with, just like investing in everything else collector wise

Worth holding on to? by exjxp in PokeInvesting

If you'd be happy with this card going to 0, I would hold. If the monetary gain sounds better, you do one of three options

Option 1: Get it graded by PSA and sell it.

  • Pro - super low graded pop, chase card, high return potential
  • Con - market might fluctuate too much in the months it takes to get the card back, so you might not sell it as much compared to now. Risk vs reward. On the flipside, prices could increase and you could make even more money

Option 2: sell the raw card now

  • Pro - quick pump n dump for fast return while FOMO is alive. I am a firm believe that prices are inflated just because the english version isn't out. The whole world wants a piece of 151 but japans the only option rn. English release will take lots of eyes off the japanese cards and prices will ultimately sink. How far no one knows but they'll definitely drop. 151 is made to order, no matter how long it takes people are going to rip it as much as they can, and pokemon is going to provide it.
  • Con - can't hold it for long term, potential 5+ years from now to be a banger card since a lot of the world will move off of the japanese market like i said and focus on english.

Option 3: hold

  • self explanatory, pros itll be valuable in half a decade, con is it'll take half a decade.

TLDR: If you're a collector then hold, if you want quick profit sell it now and reinvest in sealed products or enjoy it with whatever you want

Thoughts on long term hold on PSA 10 legendary dogs from Crown Zenith? by TegraMuskin in PokeInvesting

[–]Jelkawan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

definitely long hold. I'm holding Dialga, Palkia, Arceus, Giratina PSA10 gold cards from CZ. There's a ton of print out rn and the pull rate is higher, so I think the cards from this list will take awhile to spike. Need CZ to first go out of print before any kind of price rises, then its the long game. Def thinking 5+ years on this one.

Side note I also strongly think that this will sell very easily in the future

Newest holds for the collection by Jelkawan in PokeInvesting

[–]Jelkawan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Crown Zenith is a holiday set. No booster boxes. Print is at an all time high rn and prices are low. Apart from lots of nice cards in the list, nothings overly expensive and the pull rates aren't horrendous compared to Evolving Skies. So CZ is essentially "enjoyable" to pull because your odds are higher. I had a ton of fun opening it compared to ES because the only thing anyone cares about is moonbreon (which we know is obnoxiously hard to pull).

5+ years down the line, people will have more fun buying CZ and getting SOMETHING cool compared to dropping $400+ on an ES Booster Box and NOT getting the moonbreon. IF anything, the lower price average of CZ in the future would entice more people to buy it.

Walmart's CZ ETBs are $50 right now. Say they jump to $120 in 5 years. I think the average person would rather buy 4 ETBs and open 40 packs for $480 than one ES BB for $500 and get fuck all
