I used to collect when I was in school in the 90s. I was obsessed with collecting. I still actually have my 1st edition cards in a sleeve. My pride and joy is my 1st edition holo charizard. I managed to pull 3 of them. No idea what they are worth in this day and age but id never sell them
You are looking between $3200 and $270,000, each card, depending on their condition. It’s most likely somewhere in between because unless it’s in bad shape it won’t be $3200 and getting a mint grade is pretty difficult, as even if you took it and got it protected in a case and all that day-one, it’s just random luck if you get a perfect printing of it which is out of your control obviously.
If you were very very lucky, you are sitting on half a million dollars.
Essentially yes. Although, you just have to get out before people get disinterested. That could be next week, could be not in your life time. You never really know.
yea... as much as i see wholesome videos like these. I also see an equal if not more amount of scalper charging into stores like Costco / Walmart / Gamestop and just buy the newest boosters by the handful. Saw a few that straight up grab a box from a kid's hands in their frenzy of getting value.

There's a third option too. Investors 🤢
I collect. I played a bit in the past. Players and collectors are cool. Investors have ruined the fucking hobby.
