This Pikachu card was $250 in 2024. Today it’s worth $3,000.
That’s a 1,100% gain in under 2 years.
Stocks did 30%. Bitcoin did 35%.
Collectables continue to outperform every major asset class on earth.
Are you paying attention? 👀
@zmaczmaczmac@CardGameNomad But will the reprints even matter? They said this about prismatic and it's still getting "printed to the ground" but it's nowhere near $49.99. AH is a strong set. I think the demand will eat those reprints.
@barkmeta I would say pokemon and physical collectibles are blowing up because of people who are sick of NFTs. Main reason I started buying last few years. People want something they can hold away from the screens. Lots of crypto money flowing into Pokemon/collectibles
@Hantao@JonahBlake They made thousands of ETH off their royalties from NFT worlds and gray boys, Avatars, and multiple mints they did. Master Royalty/mint farmers.
Can’t believe we bought validators under the pretence of getting rewards for them to rug validators and then rug everything
How tf does the irs owe you money if you aren’t profitable?
7 years ago I invested over $1 million into Pokémon with the deep conviction that the consumer was maturing before our eyes - aging into some very serious collecting. I also believe in 2026 that the upside in vintage (pre 2000) low pop, high grade Pokémon is truly just getting started. As collectors get more sophisticated and delve deeper into the Japanese product and other manufacturers of the 1996-1999 era, there’s a long way from traditional sports trading card values. Thank you @BusterScher for such a great platform and for your belief back in the day!

Yea, that’s been their super power so far: sucking out the liquidity from every little crack while keeping the community docile.
Go to the discord and you actually have the rekt community who gave over years and life savings making up apologies for the teams failures. Real Stockholm syndrome at work.
Should be a research study done on some of those people. Real material to be had for psychological research
