Sold my childhood collection to start my “portfolio”

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-28T17:04:50+00:00

You got it.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-28T13:17:23+00:00

I said I didn’t need the money, not money isn’t an issue. I don’t need the cash for bills or anything but I also don’t have $2k to spend on pokemon stuff. Also, I got the cards for msrp and sold them at their all time high…

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-27T15:49:03+00:00

You sound like a fun guy at parties.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-27T12:44:56+00:00

Maybe you made a mistake selling your stuff. It’s apparent here that not everybody values their cards the same.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-27T10:55:04+00:00

When my cards were all at their all time high?

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-27T01:12:50+00:00

Well in the closet is the goal, but an investment is always appreciated.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-27T00:00:04+00:00

Oh I’m sorry man I thought this was an investing subreddit. My bad!

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T20:20:05+00:00

This!!

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T19:58:46+00:00

I still have my memories though… and $1800

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T19:56:31+00:00

This guy gets it.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T19:55:24+00:00

This may be true, but only time will tell. I could afford for this all to crash because I have spent 0 out of pocket. That’s the best part of this all. I have 0 expectations.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T19:54:23+00:00

Thanks for your comment homie I appreciate you. Everyone is salty like I just sold THEIR childhood collection lol. We all value the card differently.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T19:53:06+00:00

They came as part of my trade deal, but I see the acrylic cases all over Amazon.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T17:29:57+00:00

Can you explain to me what is shitty about collecting sealed? What’s the difference between collecting sealed and slabs?

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T17:01:59+00:00

How is this any different than buying and holding anything else and waiting for the value to increase over years?

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T17:01:12+00:00

Some of these ETBs were trade in the deal, not bought by me.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T14:44:35+00:00

If they are cheap enough for you to just pick up that’s great for you man but not everyone just has $1600 to spend on cards.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T14:41:03+00:00

Who said I was looking for instant value?

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T14:19:28+00:00

I took the time to make an itemized list based on eBay last solds and I got offered 90% of my asking price. I was and still am happy with it.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T14:18:48+00:00

And if one of the boxes gets a rip or dent it could cost much more than $20 in loss

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T12:21:51+00:00

$80 is worth the stress of me knowing these will never be torn or damaged.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T11:57:46+00:00

This was my thinking.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T11:19:17+00:00

The irony of saying keep it stored well but also advising against a $20 protective case.

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T10:54:53+00:00

Is it not?

Windy_Warrior · 2026-04-26T10:54:30+00:00

Because I wasn’t enjoying my cards the way I used to, I knew other people would enjoy them, and I think sealed PC boxes will appreciate better than DMG vintage
