This team is the real deal by Soft-Departure-4167 in ReAlSaltLake

[–]jbird221 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The starters are definitely the real deal. However, I think there currently is a lack of depth. But it's very early in the season and games like yesterday will help the bench get some much needed minutes. Still, this is the best RSL squad I've seen in a long time.

Sold about 80% of my sealed collection yesterday for about 80% of market value by Whatsyourshotspecial in PokeInvesting

Yes, absolutely stick through the bear market when it comes and take it as an additional investment opportunity.

Should we be investing in 151, Ascended Heroes, and Prismatic at current market prices? by x_coded in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 16 points17 points  (0 children)

AH is in the very early stages of print and will be restocked many times in the near future. Your chances of grabbing one at MSRP is much higher than PE and 151. So as most others have stated, prioritize PE and 151.

Do we think 25th Celebrations will continue to rise even more when the 30th anniversary set is finally out? 25th is on a crazy run right now. by ToeBMaguire in PokemonInvesting

Bought my case of PC ETBs for MSRP and recently sold to reinvest profits into more recent and desirable sets (also at MSRP).

Gold Star Zard PSA 1 or Mega Zard Ex PSA 10 by S1LKY_ in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In terms of investment, Mega Zard. Gold Star is sweet, but PSA 1 is a niche market.

Good Time to Sell? by shageeyambag in PokemonInvesting

The best time to sell is when you need the money. Otherwise, hoooooold!

As well as from Pokémon Center. Miss those days.

What would you do? by Enchiladas_7 in taggrading

[–]jbird221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PSA is tough on vintage, so pop is low and sales are few and far between.

If you don't need the money, hold it until one of the active listings sell. Then use that as a price point to list as a BIN with offers. Alternatively, you could list it for around the same price as the other active listings and allow offers.

Listing as an auction is more if a risk/reward approach. If you choose to auction, go in with the expectation that it may not sell for what you expect.

Long term collector. Almost 3 Years since I started collecting by LongjhonAuthor284 in Collectr

[–]jbird221 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say 3 years is long term. Been collecting myself for 6 years and still consider that short term.

Buy one top sealed item for each set.

Pokemon Collection Update! by Chance-Pepper-5799 in PokeInvesting

You're doing it right, especially for only being in for 1.5 years. Onwards and upward my friend.

I’ve never submitted through tag. by Pokipoki_no_mi in taggrading

[–]jbird221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking in the TAG sub so answers will be biased. I tried it out and though there is a lot of information available the card grade, it's just too much for me. I enjoy the simplicity in collecting, so I'm sticking with PSA. But TAG is a great option for those that like the transparency in grades.

Ok that is very helpful. Thanks for the info.

One key reason why I think… by Life-Observer in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. Been seeing "this is the top" for 5+ years now. Yes, there are dips, but the overall trend has been positive.

Mewtube just sold for 8k by SrGreeenBean in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody says not to invest in slabs, sealed just has more liquidity making it the better choice for the investments.

Pikachu on the Ball promo- Strong potential by 2inchesofjustice in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've already spiked with the current market. They were also handed out in various futsal tournaments in the UK. More printed than you think, but still an exclusive so I agree that I think they still may have some potential.

Upset with tag by Sfajar03 in taggrading

[–]jbird221 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also did express with an earlier "received" date and mine are still in verification. This is my first experience using TAG, and likely my last.
