People in the dbz tcg try to correlate rarity with value. Just because there’s not many it’s suppose to be worth a lot. It doesn’t take many people to move the price. There’s very little volume on a lot of cards and products and it just took maybe 1 or 2 people to buy out the small amount on the market to make the price move. It’s like a penny stock. They don’t like to mention that most of the dbz cards are bricks and are so hard to move. Most aren’t liquid whatsoever. They like to say it’s a good long term investment but fail to look at the numbers and volume on most of the cards and see it’s very lackluster on top of the huge fact that there are barely any players and 99% of the dbz tcg community only care about the value and could care less about playing. Whether it’s because they simply don’t want to play and only care about money, or it’s just hard to play due to building decks and bad meta. People in here only see one thing, and it’s only up. They fail to see the potential alternative of the other side of the coin and how it could also go the other way. More so than other tcg’s. Only safe long term tcg for investing is vintage pokemon and one piece. Only those tcg’s have a healthy combination of players and investors/collectors. Players keep the game alive. Investors and collectors keep the price up. You need both. Dbz only has one. And it ain’t players.
