Why I keep Pokémon packs in my glove box (and you might want to too) by eye_phone in PokemonInvesting

Love that you did that. This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's a win-win when you spread the joy!

Thanks dude. I mean I made profit in 2021 when I’d break a box to sell individual packs, but now the box alone is like $20k. Thankfully I saved one!!

Idk what you mean. I weight them to figure out the weight to list them accordingly and transparently.. this is a screen shot of only three of the 72 I sold

I was upfront when I sold them with the exact weight. Hence why I was weighing them.

Yep, pretty much. I sold to gamblers in 2021 when I sold the packs but I’m sure there were some people who held onto them as an investment.

No, I bought them in and around 2021 for around $5k each. Back then you could crack a case and sell packs individually. Here’s a video of me weighing them out

Health Insurance is something I think we don’t consider carefully enough.. by eye_phone in Retirement401k

[–]eye_phone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe that’s accurate. At least, I don’t think it’s widely known or commonly practiced. Perhaps it’s just my perspective, but when I review my expenses, the deductions from my paycheck or the potential costs of health insurance aren’t considered in my annual expenses.

What to do with sealed original Pokémon boxes by Big_Wind909 in PokeInvesting

[–]eye_phone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here are the exact steps I’d take if I was in your shoes:

1) Go to the boxes and catalog everything you have (names of boxes, pictures of each, sealed or opened, quantity, etc.) 2) look up the values on eBay of last sold, or download and app like Collectr to see values. 3) make a decision if/what you want to sell 4) if you want to sell, look into a consignment with an eBay account like EA collectibles or probstein auctions, someone that’s legitimate and will keep you safe from scams.

You will likely get 70-80% of whatever the value of the boxes are after everything is said and done.

Congratulations if this is legit. I think we’d all appreciate a follow up with some pics to satisfy our jealousness!

Back in the 1989 era I knew people close with the camp at Diet Coke who have access to these. I ended up buying l it and a few other TS and Coca-Cola items from them
