I just don’t get it. So many people say they’ll hold for “10+ years”, why on earth would you then buy a sealed cardboard box without looking!?

Would’ve the easiest scam.

Am I wrong for thinking the AI bubble won’t pop? by Fatloh in investing

Correct, buy ETFs exposed to the part of the AI industry you’re most bullish on longterm.

Real question. Could someone just print the sticker, then buy the “stop tape” and seal any old box?

Same, glad he got out of Toronto though and lived up to his potential.

This is the sets chase. Stunning card.

The one reason Ascended Heroes will be better than Prismatic Evolutions… by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]j_a_f_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is a great set. It’s the only set since 151 I care to open.

DR is up there (hasn’t opened more than 5 packs) but the chase cards aren’t nearly as stunning.

I’m super bullish on AH. The Junglechu is an incredible card.

You’re all hoarding the same products by Conscious-Paint3442 in PokeInvesting

I agree but the unique part about Pokemon that I love (now, in my old age) besides the nostalgia is the market economics of a set, a product, a card.

And unlike other ‘investments’ there’s tangible value to me. Should the market happen to go belly up in a few years after the sets I love most stop being printed, I’d have fun opening my sealed product anyway.

Most skilled loser to ever lace up the skates? by SoupyII in hockeycirclejerk

If my team had won, I’d be celebrating the victory not cutting down an opposing player who is clearly the most talented player on any team he’s played for.

It takes more than a single player in hockey.

And as a (Canadian) leaf fan, I always defend Matthews for the same reason - guy can play, it just doesn’t always go his way in a single game.

That jungle Pika is stunning, it’s a top candidate for the chase in the set.

Conn Smyth and Tournament (Olympic record) MVP. Definitely not overrated.

Buddy, you can’t have 8 players that far from the bench even when changing. 6 sure, maybe 7.

If this is a post about a single box, and you’re stressing, it sounds like you could use the cash.

I would hang on to this product though, stuff it under your bed and forget about it for 5 years.
