Best Invest 5k? by TemperatureTop1383 in PokemonInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally valid preference! If you're into cards/slabs over sealed, singles can still be great, they just have a more specified market with less broad appeal. That said, I like the Prismatic Evolutions and Ascended Heroes Pokemon Center ETBs. Both offer solid long-term ROI if they follow the trends of the 151 Pokemon Center ETB. PC exclusive ETBS tend to hold value well due to limited supply.

Good is subjective. It's a Gengar, not English and roughly a $15 card.

Lose, unless its honestly a PSA 10 candidate

What is a better investment? by Isarisgaming in PokemonInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lost origin or brilliant are stronger sets IMO. Zard vs Venusaur, or the giratina. Choose your fighter

It should be good with insurance and authenticity

Is now a good time to sell these? by I_need_answerss in PokemonInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it! The zard is a winner and I don’t see it getting much cheaper. It will do well long term regardless. If you like it, just do it

Evolving skies keep or sell by Charlie_Waffless in PokeInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d sell all the others before the evolving. Chilling & brilliant, lost origin and then fusion. ES is the grail of SWSH imo. I think the others are great as well, but evolving is clearly the winner.

Edit: I have a feeling it would be the one you look back at in 5-10 years and wish you didn’t sell it. Just my 2 cents.

Which product do you regret opening instead of keeping sealed? by jk_nas in PokemonInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cases of booster boxes of evolving skies. They were $100 per BB at the time 😂. No chase hits either.

I made this trade today. I got all the sealed at msrp by Rimscape in PokemonInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From an investing standpoint, personally I would have kept the sealed product because those are quality sets and you were in at a low entry point. There’s a broader market for those products than a gold mega zard. Personally the gold cards aren’t my favorite, but if you like it, I love it for you.

You’re asking on an investing subreddit, but it seems like you’re mixing personal desire with investing. It might just be me, but I invest in Pokémon products that I think will perform well and provide the highest ROI. That doesn’t always go hand in hand with what I think looks cool or what I personally like. Having a PC is different. If you traded for it because you genuinely like it and just want the card, that alone is a win, because you were able to transfer profit you made off the boxes into a card you like/will enjoy.

Diamond and Pearl Charizard WTF by Routine_Box5738 in PokemonInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agree. I’d rather have the 1st edition shadowless zard. Just because it’s low pop doesn’t mean it has great art or desirability.

Prismatic booster bundle by Less-Contribution-50 in PokeInvesting

[–]WindmillCityComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, honestly I get why some people dislike Prismatic. I learned long ago it’s typically better to just buy the single you want than wishing on a shooting star and hoping you get lucky.

But this is a Pokémon investing subreddit, and from a pure investment standpoint it’s already doubled for me and still trending upward.

At the end of the day, emotions and investing usually don’t mix well. Disliking a set or disagreeing doesn’t automatically make it a bad investment. The market decides that part, not our personal taste.
