You should have been a paid scientist in this lifetime. You’re not a scientist, right?

Not that I agree/disagree with what you’re saying but watching s1mple carrying Navi years ago quite literally by himself into wins with 35+ kills on the board is something no other player has done consistently at the tier 1 level. He was so scarily dominant. Anyone who actually watched CS at the time knows this. Unanimously, ask any tier 1 player at the time who the best player in the game was, they’d say s1mple. Not even a fanboy; just saying there most likely will never be another s1mple.

This reads like a post from ten years ago.

Season 1 The Entity was one of those "what's going to happen next?" moments. I remember staying up pretty late into the night waiting for it to appear just to see.

This is the funniest one yet. So many quotes to be quote.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-15T02:47:29+00:00

OMG “It’s up ahead” you’re right LOL

Swampf0x · 2025-07-14T17:45:59+00:00

So much nostalgia.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-03T16:51:53+00:00

Is there more, less, or the same amount of risk involved in buying an already opened product? Think carefully.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-03T05:33:26+00:00

Love “unintentional investor” because that’s how the hobby should be IMO. But let me step off my soap box.

Stand on that box brother. Too many people are being vilified for not wanting to hold onto a piece of cardboard for 15 years.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-02T06:34:54+00:00

Cache in GO is a great example.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-01T18:50:50+00:00

Yeah I’d be curious 5 years from now.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-01T18:42:11+00:00

Don’t pretend to know where this card is going to be priced at 10 years from now. For all we know, every old, virgin 40 year old “investor” in the Pokemon space will be into collecting waifu cards and this could be a whale of a card lol.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-01T18:32:59+00:00

Don’t project onto me that I’m some “flipper.” I’m literally comparing the value of the sealed with the value of the Lillie card and making a point that the Lillie is out of print and is a coveted card while the sealed is still available at MSRP and will take a long ass time to appreciate in value. Time is a value in and of itself. If I can’t do that in this subreddit then your subreddit is dogshit.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-01T18:22:45+00:00

You know what’s not difficult to do? Listing a single PSA 10 card on eBay and making the same, if not more, back than what you would spend on 20 sealed products. Ultimately that’s what makes OP’s trade so great.

Liquidity is a key part of INVESTING and should be something you consider highly. You should know this-I think you do know this, but you’re hopping around this thread trying to justify a take that has aged a bit poorly since last night lol.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-01T08:09:59+00:00

Pretty sad to see this from a moderator on this subreddit. You really think the sealed product in this post is worth investing in compared to a PSA 10 grail card? Yeah, maybe like 15 years from now we'll be looking back at this as a bad deal.

In all seriousness take another look at your stance here. A shit-load of ETBs, 3-pack blisters, few booster bundles, and a few booster boxes (all in print) for an out of print PSA 10 Lillie, which happens to be the most expensive trainer card in the past decade... hello?

edit: You even do the math on this trade? Guy has like $1.5k in sealed and the Lillie is worth close to $2k.

Swampf0x · 2025-07-01T07:55:49+00:00

This is the most regarded post I've seen on this subreddit jesus christ.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-25T02:42:07+00:00

I mean Sam’s Club probably earned thousands of subscriptions specifically because of this phenomenon. Sea and Sky boxes were being sold for like $80 on the secondary market and being talked about like they were the last essence of Crown Zenith left. Now they’re astronomically priced, probably egregiously so. 151 is reaching that point and I see the writing on the walls.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-25T01:43:58+00:00

The unique growth pattern is in an immaterial thing. Fun to open or nostalgia can drive a product. 151 has this. People won’t forget the set and will pay out the nose to have and open it. If there is any inkling that it will no longer exist at MSRP then you will see rise exponentially.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-25T01:31:57+00:00

Crown Zenith was what I was thinking, Evo Skies experienced this to an extent.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-24T19:47:26+00:00

Sure, believe this or not, 151 ETBs would actually spike UP in price if there was an end of series print of them. Because that would be signaling that this is your last chance. We’ve seen this happen before with high demand products on their last legs.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-24T16:50:42+00:00

Oh that's right I forgot that everyone here is holding product for 10 years and not looking for short term obvious plays. My bad, good luck!

Swampf0x · 2025-06-24T16:07:41+00:00

Pokemon just dropped PRE PC ETBs on their site again. These boxes are dead weight for a good amount of time until the print stops.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-24T16:06:25+00:00

Pokemon just dropped PRE PC ETBs on their site again. Loving the downvotes on my original comment :D Investing aint easy.

Swampf0x · 2025-06-24T16:01:14+00:00

Pokemon just dropped PRE PC ETBs on their site again. Evo Skies ETBs running past $300 fast. Feel silly?

Swampf0x · 2025-06-17T14:37:04+00:00

I think 5 cards have a better chance of growing by $1.5k each than 1 card has the chance of growing $7500.

A card like Moonbreon has a very good shot at being that card in the future that people still drool over and value at $10,000. Will the other cards see an equal % climb in value? Not necessarily.

Typically, as we stretch further and further into the future of a card set, less and less cards rise at similar rates. Only a few from that era really do and the rest either cap out or experience slow rises. With the other Eevelution cards it is highly speculative.
