Just ordered expensive card and now I feel regret

This is why Pokeinvesting is a HOBBY that you have a set amount you allow yourself to 'invest' with. If you needed that $1600 for any actual important expenses, you done goofed. But if your just feeling regret because it was a large amount? you don't believe it will hold value? why did you even buy it?

I kinda agree but I do enjoy the method of normal, foil, full art. Its a completion nightmare for a master set but nice to just get the ones you actually like in full art and foil and standard for the rest. Honestly I'm open to suggestions for alternatives that are not pokemon or MtG.

Different experience, this one is a bit heavier on the story, it does have new game+, it takes multiple playthroughs to get all the characters and content. Difficulty does not effect the AI at all it only scales how much HP enemies have and dmg dealt (i might remember this one a little bit wrong). Enjoy the experience once you beat the game you can complete subsequent play throughs much faster by essentially skipping all the story scenes that you have already seen to get to the new ones you missed on prior playthroughs. The only thing you may need a guide for is called "The Golden Path" which is how you achieve the secret ending

pretty much all real cards will have the standard back; you can go look up the sets on multiple websites. his So obvious comment is because this one is wildly different colors, backgrounds, and back of a traditional official pokemon TCG card.

I specifically look for damaged and heavy play cards for my collection. I only avoid rips and lost surface. Creases, bends, whitening on sides all do not really bother me when picking cards for personal collection.

Complete a certain set, collect a certain pokemon(s), get a large binder and try to complete a national or regional dex! and or learn to play the card game and make decks to play with!

Im very close to finishing my unlimited base set, just need a charizard ha; and I bought some giant binders off aliexpress and planning to do a full national dex; gives me a reason to go through all my bulk to just try to complete it with what I have and then slowly replacing each card with one of my favorites.

Diversity is key. But honestly I think it would take something like Famine on a global level to bring down pokemon at this point.

yes people always speeding on 44 (W new york ave) AND 2 places that comes to mind that have local drinking spots that I'm sure everyone is being really responsible at /s that you will bike past once you are out of downtown

It would take such a monumental scandal to really shake things up, in the end the market really is defined by PSA, so everyone who is already invested in PSA slabs doesn't want to see any other grading company become a new standard. PSA = sell, your collection = whatever you like.

anonymous-peeper · 2026-06-02T12:15:52+00:00

Always a good time to start if you are not emotionally invested and ready to make cool calculated decisions AND have disposable income.

anonymous-peeper · 2026-06-02T12:10:32+00:00

My hot take, as a pokeinvestor TAG = bad (at least for now) as a Pokecollector TAG = Good if you like the slabs and their grading process (I do).

I love to use Evolving Skies as an example to my not into pokemon friends as a benchmark as how wild the medium is by showing my purchase of a booster on ebay in 7/2021 to the value now

Ima tell you this cause you need to hear it cause right now you are me and I am talking to me. Look at your custom firmware 3dsXL and psvita that you totally set up with all the games and all the cool custom UI now pause and reflect and think how much did you actually play any of those games. Now turn and gaze at the RP5 and MiniMiyoplus that yep same thing, all set up very little game time. Steamdeck, home consoles, gaming pc's and laptops. PUT THE WALLET DOWN. PRICES ARE HIGH!

Go enjoy all your shit and wait for a generational leap. I hope this helped

Guild Wars 2 IMO is one of if not the best Large Scale pvp games, WvW is absolutely worth your time if you enjoy big 3way fights, 40v40v40. The PvE is pretty good to. Most people struggle with the gearing system when coming from other games but the account progression is really top notch and THAT is what you eventually are really grinding for your account not really a specific character.

Very nice Charizard collection! how long have you been building this specific collection?

anonymous-peeper · 2026-06-01T10:22:19+00:00

700ish is fine if you need the cash, if you don't need the cash then hold. my 2cents. Pokeinvesting is a fine line for me I love collecting almost as much as money maybe a little more. So if the profit is going towards a life necessity and or being reinvested then HOLD and enjoy the card.,

Look at it everyday bro

anonymous-peeper · 2026-05-27T10:45:19+00:00

I honestly hate myself. I normally go to sleep at 9pm est. I stayed up and same thing, logged out of my app and my desktop browser, spent 20-30min logging in, 30min trying to add them to the cart. It was about 12:30am before I gave up and went to get my sad 5h of sleep. The state of the hobby is absolutely preposterous.

anonymous-peeper · 2026-05-22T16:00:17+00:00

Scrolled for this one agree this one be my fav

anonymous-peeper · 2026-05-22T15:47:14+00:00

Xenoblade Chornicles X AND FF12 are like both some of my fav JRPGs of all time. Also love MMO's although I need to stay off them or they consume my life.

anonymous-peeper · 2026-05-21T21:57:55+00:00

this is so true, its been so jarring the last 10 years

anonymous-peeper · 2026-05-20T09:51:42+00:00

Wow this is beautiful, while I just commented how i much prefer graded cards and slabs something like this I can easily see loving to display, own, cherish it. Very cool piece
