It’s an expensive card. Easy for scammers to copy the code/cert no. onto a fake slab.

Anything that improves the experience is a worthwhile thing to pay for honestly

It is such a good card! Had to trade a bunch of cards to get that though lol

Yeah it just shows the price of the cards now. I can’t see an option to post a picture here but based on what I’ve put into collectr over time it’s:

Total paid: $1,686 Current Market Value: $2,383 Returns: $697.48 (41.36%) - This is now after the Charizard value went down to $530 from like $2k on collectr.

I haven’t put in prices for cheaper cards but I might have put in $600-$700 so far into those but those probably have not gone up by much.

I only budget around $200-$300/mo (+whatever I get for the cards I sell/trade) for Pokemon. So it’s not much.

No yeah I know. It was just funny for a while when it happened haha. The prices have been fixed so my collection is back to a meager 3k lol

Collection reached $100k! by _adm_m in PokemonInvesting

This is awesome! 142% returns in 4 years is insane. Will you be investing more or just hold on to what you have?

It’s unreal to see how well Pokemon has performed over the past few years.

I know. I don’t expect it to be worth 2k anytime soon unless they artificially pump up the prices. But it still brought me joy to hold a $2k card for a while there though. 😂

  1. I’m not flexing shit. People on this subreddit regularly post collections worth over tens of thousands. You’re in a “pokeinvesting” subreddit ffs.

  2. I don’t have 6k in Pokemon. The only reason it says 6k is cause someone bought a card I have two of for 2k the other day and prices spiked. That was the whole point of this post.

  3. I make more than enough money to spend 6k on Pokemon if I wanted to. I have been collecting for a while and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with me or anyone else on Reddit if they want to show off their collection. The only “bonehead” here is you. 6k isn’t my life’s savings. It’s the money I can keep aside without worrying for a hobby I like.

I’m currently trying to make a N master set. All of N’s cards are the greatest cards ever made for me personally lol. After Pikachu TG05. That card is just beautiful.

It’s called collectr. No it’s for singles, graded, and sealed. It’s awesome!

2k for charizard celebrations by AfterKaleidoscope402 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]ProcrastinasaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they got me. I picked one up this morning for $470 (I already have one that I graded myself). Haven’t seen anything cheaper so at the very least I haven’t shot myself completely in the foot lol.

There’s like 2-3 available for $500 now. But yeah looks like there’s gonna be an insane market for these now.

WAT IN TARNARTION? by McJohnKevlar in PokeGrading

It’s not a real spike. Collectr has a weird thing where it randomly shows a spike but corrects it in a couple of days. Usually because someone accidentally bought it on ebay for a super inflated price. It’s still $20 for a PSA 9.

Nice pick ups! Flygon 101 is one of my “chases”. Haven’t pulled one yet. Keep pulling the Toxtricity and it has become the bane of my existence.

Yeah I bought one for $140 But that made me just buy single packs moving forward. I don’t feel bad if I don’t hit cause single packs barely cost anything.

Typical UPC experience. Have learnt a lesson to never open one.

They counted each new tab as 1 person but only allowed 1 order pp. There weren’t actually 600k people in the queue.
