3 Reasons to Join Our PokeInvesting Discord!

252 Upvotes

Having visited most of the Pokemon Discords, the PokeInvesting Discord is one of the best by far. We have the friendliest and most respectful community. Our channels are more organized with members interacting who you'll actually recognize. It's not a sea of random people like other discords. Staying small is our key to remaining high quality. So here's 3 reasons to consider joining.

  1. Four Game Store Partners. - We have two vendors in Japan (ship worldwide) and two vendors in North America. They each have their own store channel to answer questions. One of our Jpn vendors only sells singles and can source anything you need. The whole idea is to be able to easily preorder, buy and ask questions with game stores from different regions with ease.
  2. Monitor Restocks Alerts. - We monitor the largest retail and game stores for restocks, aside from having deal callouts on Discord from other sources. There are deals channels categorized by region, members can post the deals they find online. The difference to other Discords is we don't allow discussion in these channels. So you can set your alerts, find online deals and receive callouts from vigilant PokeInvestors on the lookout.
  3. Space Is Limited. - Some Discords have thousands of members but then keeping up becomes difficult cause there's so many people. The PokeInvesting discord will never have more than a few hundred people if that, we will have to close off to keep a healthy state and good flow. The goal is to have a tight knit community of dedicated PokeInvestors who's voice matters and is heard, to avoid overcrowding we have to keep space limited.

At the end of the day it's an active community discussing every aspect of Pokemon finance. If you want more Pokemon investing, daily content it's a good place to be. There is paywall but it's a natural filter because people who hate it won't make it there, and those who do truly want to join do-so, it creates the positive energy our community has which is why it's in place.

Have questions? Not on PokeInvesting Discord? Here's the weekly post for the sub to ask away!

Use this thread to ask anything related to Pokemon finance. (Each week the old thread will be discarded and a new thread for the week will be added.)

This thread was created for questions like should I sell, how much to sell for, what to buy, etc. So we don't derail the sub with a stream of question posts. Thanks!

Thoughts on my Sealed Collection

Post image
8 Upvotes

I get what i can when I can find it in stores or when I can afford it. This will be long term hold, was wondering if anyone could give me any insight as to if any of this has potential to be very valuable as it ages. The tins on top left corner are all paldean fates, charizard boxes I pick up from Sam's when i see them. I know the Dragonite Kanto Power Box is currently my most valuable single product that I have. Also have 10 journey together, and 10 Paldea Evolved booster packs in the crate on the right. The tins in that crate have been opened.

Am I overthinking this?

I have a loose bb of cosmic. With the pack being 28 bucks apiece I was thinking I could sell this and use the money to get a 151 booster bundle display

Do u think that as far as an investment that the cosmic would see just as much gains as the bundle display. I don’t wanna regret selling this now and it being worth 3k in a few years or something. My end goal is to just make as much profit as possible.

Am I overreacting/being picky? Just got my grail, BGS 10 moonbreon

Was super stoked to finally get my grail card especially in a bgs pristine 10. When it arrived I noticed a ding in the bottom left corner. Does it look like it got damaged through transit? I know Beckett is very strict with there grading compared to PSA. Hate to spend so much for a fairly noticeable flaw on a pristine 10. Should I try to get my money back or am I overreacting? TIA

Future of this card

Post image

I got my first PSA 10 of this the Charizard Ex Illustration Rare today. With how hard it is to get any Pokémon near me I've been slowly losing interest in Pokémon. I was curious though do you think this card will continue to go up in the future or will it stay where it's at?

Not selling here, just looking for advice. I’ve mostly broken even on these cards and learned my lesson with Whatnot. I know CGC isn’t everyone’s favorite—will that hurt my chances of moving them? Any tips on coming out ahead?

Here’s my modest sealed position! I just started, so be nice. Current market and purchase prices in post.

All PSA10 cards were pulled and graded by me and my kids! I didn’t include any singles or graded cards in the totals because we pulled them all - haha.

Other than CZ and the SS, everything else has been purchased since Jan 1 of this year.

The best purchases I’ve made so far have been the two OBF BB. I made those purchases in early January at the right time. The CZ ETB’s and Collection boxes have been in the closet for a couple of years now - also proud of those.

Current Market: $2,875

$150 - (2) Union V & Lugia V boxes $65 - Pikachu Celebrations box $430 - (2) Obsidian Flames BB $290 - Brilliant Stars BB $230 - Paldea Evolved BB $390 - Lost Origin BB $200 - (2) Surging Sparks ETB $270 - (2) Crown Zenith ETB $85 - Obsidian Flames ETB $125 - Prismatic ETB $75 - Journey Together ETB $75 - Twilight Masquerade ETB $55 - Shrouded Fable ETB $65 - Stellar Crown ETB $70 - Silver Tempest ETB $70 - Astral Radiance ETB $80 - Brilliant Stars ETB $85 - Paldea Evolved ETB $65 - Scarlet & Violet ETB

Total spent: $1,775

$700 for ETBs at retail $130/BB for OBF at card shop $200 BB for PAL at card show $200 BB for Brilliant Stars at card show $275 BB for Lost Origin on Amazon (it’s legit 😅) $20/box for Unown V & Lugia V boxes at GameStop $100 for the Pikachu Celebrations (I sped through a discord alert for target and didn’t even check the price 🤦🏻‍♂️ they got me for sure.

My Pokemon collection. Had it all for years and years. Don't really know anything about how much this stuff is worth. Any ballpark ideas what it's worth? Is it worth selling now, or should I hold?

Really love the Pokeball wrap on the sword and shield base. Super unique in my opinion the fact it was only one run done before they switched it back. Are these pretty decent holds? Would there be anything I should consider offloading here? I’m aware these are not the most desired Sun & Moon sets but would like some opinions etc. Thanks

If this gets psa 10 what do you think this would run for? The top is crimped from factory. I pulled this and put it straight into a hard cover.

Advice on valuing my collection

I'm looking to sell my entire childhood collection, ideally all together as one lot rather than individual cards. Most of the cards are from the black & white and XY eras. I was just wondering how I can ballpark a price for everything, not looking for anything exact.

Picked this up today.

I picked this Dark Charizard holo up at a flea market for 180 bucks. I know it’s only a PSA 7 which isn’t the best nor is it a first edition, but it is a holo. Was 180 bucks a good deal or did I overpay?

Post Journey, Pre Rivals Store Owner Q&A

Did a few of these before, so while I am busy pricing cards for the next few hours, lets see if anyone has questions they want to ask a store owner about either JT or DR, the tariffs, recessions plans, etc.

Feel free to ask away!

FYI, I posted this at like 2pm EST, so if this gets approved at a weird hour of night I will reply when I see it

Journey Together booster box and a loose Reshy promo for this absolute beauty. The boxes are dropping daily while this steadily climbs. What a no brainer trade. Absolutely pumped to add this to my collection.
