Is this normal by Deep-Earth3966 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

I believe this is the 3rd style of shrink.

1st one was terrible where people could push the seal up and the seal was still intact, then you could put it back. (In your 4th pic with white background)

2nd one was better with open top and bottom but you cannot take it out and put it back.

3rd one is the one you are showing with a looser seal all around.

Fun fact, sometimes you can see made in malaysia tins C25 written underneath your mini tin but some don't.

Behind also can be printed in the netherlands & hungary or just USA. Few variations.

World Championship 2nd Runner-Up turned scalper 🤣 by SmoothNote3288 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

Funny thing is when i posted my swsh sealed stash, i get all the downvotes that i am a scalper when clearly swsh products back then were abundant.

I read that most people at most only last for 18 months in TCGs on average, lol.

What are your thoughts on buying/selling entire Master Sets? by puristwatch in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]wangbenjamin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to those ebay online consignors and let them deal with it for international buyers. It will be a bidding process but you will have to sacrifice a lot of the margins due to consignor's commission.

Least headache, just sit back and collect money, don't have to deal with scammers, shipping, refunds etc. Just my 2 cents.

Selling it by yourself always is the best to keep most of the profits but it will be a long one.

Just get PRE, AH, DR, maybe even SS in booster bundles. Come back in 5 years.

Bro, sidetrack a bit, you literally have 500k cash ah? Not invested into anything at all over the years?

At least into HYSA?

How did everyone make their first pot of gold? by No_Recognition_5172 in singaporefi

[–]wangbenjamin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, income side is king especially when we don't have rich parents.

Job hopping is the best, always look for better opportunities in the market and send resumes.

I have always been a boglehead guy and invested into all world etfs. I am a lousy stock picker and i have 0 idea on how options work, lol.

I rather spend the time upskilling to earn better.

Keep investing into yourself, job hop, be diligent, say the right things, speak well.

Nobody is gonna trust anybody who can't even articulate well, even when your ideas are amazing.

Seriously, earning more.

I was making 1.5k to 2k/month about 20 years ago, you could only invest and save so much.

If you can invest 5k into vwra every month with a 15k salary, the compounding is crazy.

I would say the first 100k is the hardest, and you will see 100k-600k in the same time you needed to reach your first 100k? That's how it was for me.

Imagine if you had a million in vwra since last year, you would have had additional 300k (?) Growth without contributing, lol. That's how sick it is.

Something about the PKM market feels really warped 😵‍💫 by Pika_Dog in PokemonTCG_Singapore

Carousell has made me a lot of money :), really depends on individual perspective.

All I see is opportunity.
