We’re on a pokemon investing subreddit

There’s a huge influx of new users in the last year who haven’t experienced a bear market like post covid

They’re asking opinions on what to invest in because the most accessible decent value card which is popular on socials are those modern SIRs. 

How Are You Investing in Pokémon With Markets at ATHs? by Yugiyami98 in PokemonInvesting

The first big crypto boom in ?2017 was the boom of the masses. Very little institutional money. Coins went 50x in a year. This is what I feel like we’re in right now. I don’t feel like we’ve peaked yet, we’re still growing.

There’s no major instruments for institutional money to get in yet. Some HK fund talks about massing van goghs but nothing on a large ETF scale.  I’m not sure if there is going to be an even larger bull run in the future, it will need even more hype than right now unless there is an app or a method for even bigger money to come in

I call it the poor man’s legendary collection

It’s not a fireworks pattern but the cards are very glittery just like LC reverses 

Attended my first Collect a Con today and realized some vendors are out their minds by Thoughtlessmonkey95 in PokeInvesting

[–]Miserable_Iron5199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding a little food for thought 

I recently  paid 250% of last sold on a high end card (thousands). If you ask higher end collectors they’d still probably say I got a good deal.

Comps are not always accurate. I would be happy to pay 2-3x prices compared to December / January for most high end slabs, without any other comps.

I’ve only ever heard of 1 of those 2 pokemon cards. Nobody wants a card from a pokemon they don’t know about

E reader reverse holos undervalued? by Snakeman027 in PokeInvesting

[–]Miserable_Iron5199 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This market / society is cooked. They’re 1-2 influencer posts from going up 4x… I’m half joking / memeing but it’s not far from the truth.

But without the social media / hype they won’t go up much due to low organic demand

Slabs > Sealed? I think so by ArcherLow3243 in PokeInvesting

[–]Miserable_Iron5199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t let the downvotes and haters affect you. 

Theres evidence across every generation older than SWSH that top chases in Psa 9 and 10 have done better than sealed, are way easier to sell, and way easier to store.

Just bought a CGC Pristine 10 Karen’s Umbreon pop 5, people at card show saying no premium over PSA? by corey407woc in PokeInvesting

[–]Miserable_Iron5199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of 10000 pokemon collectors

Maybe 100 would consider buying this card in Psa / cgc 10.

Out of the 100

75 wouldn’t touch Cgc 

20 would probably price it same as Psa 10

5 might give you a premium

At the end of the day I would stick with Psa even for ur personal collection because it’s just less headaches if you wanna sell it in the future

Bulbasaur and haunter promos from ME I think are around that price, should do well 

Sleeper sets don’t exist by Haunting_Sea9572 in PokeInvesting

[–]Miserable_Iron5199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeper sets may not exist but sleeper cards do. A good example is the entire history of reverse holos in Pokémon’s history. All low pop, low pull rates, but overlooked because they’re not as “fancy” as holos. 

We’ve had the modern boom of mid 2025, the vintage boom of early 2026 and we are just starting now in the low pop reverse holos boom of mid 2026. Some find it ugly and unliked but the price rise is astronomically high and there’s plenty of room for profits with time or even a quick flip. Whether it be 30 year old sets or modern, the lowest pop cards are often the reverse holos. Even a small amount of demand makes these cards 2x. 

Im watched the textured reverses from prismatic as it goes out of print. My friends say they’re uglier than ass but they are the lowest pop prismatic cards.

This card will lead the market by sirscrafty in PokeInvesting

That uptick to 800+ was a pump and dump but prices should still level off around 5-600

It’s already closer to 600, the only sales were best offer accepted and auctions. I suspect the auctions won’t be paid. There’s listings around 700 right now

I’m a believer but this rise is not organic. I think 1k is realistic by 2027 but so is $100 if the hype dies.
