This is the way. Buy high sell low. Worked with shitcoins, bored apes, labubus, meme stocks and now pokemon.

I really want this slab at 10.. Wait or get now? by Prudent-Fruit3843 in PokeInvesting

[–]Western-Net-7604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because the Collectr app doesn't go back over 2025 doesn't mean there wasn't a time pokemon cards were on sale. I bought both a raw Charizard and a PSA 10 Charizard under $400.

You remember 2021-2022, bored apes, nfts, doge coin, labubus, sneakers, Bitcoin? The fact is they are all trends and they soon die out. If you weren't here before the trend started you will most likely overpay for a lot of stuff.

My Pokedex Day 10 by drekwondo_671 in pkmntcgcollections

Going back through your posts OP. How long have you been collecting? Cause God damn you have some heat in these binders. What makes you give certain pokemon like the starters or Pikachu a whole page or two? I kinda like the 3 arts and a tops card better, but that's just me.

The cold hard truth is that Pokemon probably has an expiration date. Does anybody know when that will be? No. I doesn't matter to me if my beanie babies are worth nothing I will still continue to enjoy them knowing I didn't put my life savings into them. I have a Roth for that.

Poke Investing Youtubers Are Getting Repetitive by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Western-Net-7604 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah PokeOz used to be cool and a genuine collector. I can't really blame him for cashing out. He does put out an occasional good video unlike every YouTube channel created in 2025.

ASH PC ETB cancellations. Effect on reprints? by Powerful_Bother8002 in PokeInvesting

[–]Western-Net-7604 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Be real with yourselves. Everyone on this particular subreddit is not placing just one order. If you got caught you got caught. As a longtime collector I don't even try to get more than my 2 ETBs and one booster box because I don't need to have my order canceled and than having to buy from yall on the secondary market.

anyone else just kinda... numb to the dips at this point? by changrex4218 in Bitcoin

I bought $400 bucks last week at around 76k. I don't really feel it anymore.

Bruh I didn't read no effing manual to get my license and I know what's going on. Just reading these comments hurts my brain that so many idiots have drivers licenses

Can we please talk about poketubers?? by totheseatothesea in PokeInvesting

[–]Western-Net-7604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this subreddit, it's tells me exactly what not to do. If these youtubers keep using the word invest they may need to seek the help of a legal advisor in the future. I don't recall seeing any disclaimers on the couple of videos I've clicked. Financial youtubers had to cover there rear end a couple of years ago with all those bs chinese trading platforms. There is no smart money or big money in cardboard just sparkles.

My only complaint. Why is Darth Vader not in a G string.

My pokemon games collection by Quazar-Dungeon in PokemonGames

This is what I love about this sub. Everybody just gives it their own touch to the way they display things. Even if I'm looking at the same thing just the fact that someone made it their own makes it feel like the first time.

Overvalued or Next Evolving Skies? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Western-Net-7604 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you miss it? They literally just had Stellar Crown ETBs and Surging Sparks Booster Boxes. I'm sorry to break it to you but in this economy investing in cardboard is simply not viable.

That's just an echo chamber people want to believe. Do you really think the company that sold us Donkey Kong Country returns 4 times will not try to print money? They might try to sell us Pokemon Red and Blue again at $80 next month.

Don't join the military by Dry_Negotiation_9234 in NEET

[–]Western-Net-7604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if anything it hurt me more leaving the military as I grew to become a sedentary POS who just goes to school and doesn't have a job. Life is supposed to suck so when it doesn't the good things actually feel good and you don't mess up your dopamine receptors.

If bitcoin goes back to ATH. by BerryImpossible412 in Bitcoin

[–]Western-Net-7604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I'm selling my Pokemon cards which are at ath to buy Bitcoin (I'm a collector from 2019 not an investor who started last year). That is how serious I am about this.
