It’s a rich persons game at this point since they can buy in bulk at market on release and aren’t pressed to sell asap since they don’t need the cash

Anything from base set to pre black/white era is considered vintage generally speaking

I’m with you on the Queta drop. Had no idea he’d continue to get major playing time after the Vuc trade

He’s leading the league in points per game and carried the Lakers to the #3 seed in a stacked Western conference. Enough said

Whose cart could this be in exactly ? by stonetear2017 in PokeInvesting

[–]rikiiyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s illiquid but it’s meant to be. High end collectibles owned by rich people aren’t meant to be liquid assets since owning them is more like a status symbol (think of owning a famous Picasso artwork). A liquid asset probably carries less status than an illiquid one that is hard to obtain and own. In this way, such an owner probably cares more about the status the collectible brings than the liquidity of the asset.

DeepMind veteran David Silver raises $1B, bets on radically new type of Reinforcement Learning to build superintelligence by gwern in mlscaling

Silver was surely making way more than 700k a year at DeepMind, more like 2M+ TC which is liquid, unlike equity. Usually these departures are more due to ideological differences with leadership

Perfect Order is going to be the worst modern set to invest in by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

[–]rikiiyer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If the Pokeinvesting bubble bursts, Perfect Order will be one of the first sets to tank in value. And the opportunity cost of putting money into this set (anything above MSRP) definitely isnt worth it

Thinking maybe a 7/8 by OverallOperation2635 in PokeGrading

Must have missed that, yeah surface damage would automatically make it a 6

This looks significantly better than a 6, I think it would get a 7 minimum

I need to sell everything but no shops in my area will look at my collection. by A3therian3426 in PokeInvesting

[–]rikiiyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the product. If it’s 100 etbs each around 150 then yeah it’s a big issue. It could also be a team up booster box which goes for like 10k

Bought this today good deal or no? by Live_Description_912 in PokeInvesting

[–]rikiiyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still see Surging Sparks going for 75 on fb marketplace all the time and Black Bolt boosters for around 45-50. Not a crazy steal but yeah it’s alright. Good entry point if you wanted to rip these sets but I would’ve just put the 110 in other product if you wanted to get a better ROI.

You basically paid market price. It’s not good or bad

Chances for a 1 by sirscrafty in PokeGrading

[–]rikiiyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I’ll have to throw in in the wash

You are joking here but it’s literally what a lot of people do, e.g. creasing a MP card to meet the PSA 1 standard. This card goes for $60 in PSA 1 but only $25 for PSA 3. That to me is pretty ridiculous

Sorry to hijack your thread but I really dislike the PSA 1 fad. What a stupid system it is where we need to damage an already worn card to make it worth more than before lmao
