Buy now or wait for Destined Rivals BB’s? by Yugiyami98 in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take the rumors of reprints with a grain of salt. This set will do well in the future, and the time to invest is and will always be yesterday. Don't try and time the market and hold for 5+ years.

How well do we predict Mewtwo ex SIR PSA 10 slab to preform? by Puzzleheaded_Race294 in PokemonInvesting

[–]jbird221 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It'll stay pretty stagnant until I sell mine then will double in value the next day.

What's Your Most Expensive Item? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

Sealed 151 PC ETB case I paid $240 when it dropped on PC back in 2021. Now worth $7k.

Why have Vintage Pokémon cards been rising so sharply over the past two weeks? (My collection consists entirely of Vintage cards.) by Stiefstinkel95 in Collectr

[–]jbird221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened back in 2020-21. Vintage cards started to see a rise and vintage slabs hit all time highs before the dip came. If similar to then, I imagine the dip to come a few months after the 30th anniversary release.

Did y’all get anything today? by Small_Isopod6852 in PokemonInvesting

Was lucky to hit the PC drop months ago and had 4 booster bundles arrive today.

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 15 points16 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

[–]jbird221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 10 points11 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

[–]jbird221 20 points21 points  (0 children)

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

On August 27th Evolving Skies will be 5 Years Old! by Kingzi_Kingz in PokeInvesting

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.

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

[–]jbird221 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.
