Realistically maybe. People do buy certain cards for deck builds. You should buy a catalogue.

I've noticed that the Ultra Premium Charizard Collection is already $100 AUD cheaper than it was six months ago here in Australia. I'm thinking since it comes with 16 Pokémon TCG booster packs from the Sword & Shield Series along with the 3 etched foil promo cards that it would be a good investment? Apparently they aren't making any more Sword & Shield cards.

>> No.55067392

>>55067225
Overprinted. You can buy these on discount at GameStop, Best Buy, etc. "Investors" are fire selling on TCGplayer because they thought Charizard was a sure thing despite the print run numbers.

I think it's a good investment especially since you can buy them on deep discount. Only problem is that like most card related items it's actually a long term investment and will take you 5+ years to see any meaningful profits and 10+ years for the actual good profits. Basically only invest in cards if you actually like cards because then at least it's part hobby which doesn't make the wait so bad where if you're just in it for the money you'll be going crazy asking yourself why it's taking so long and why didn't you just buy Bitcoin instead.

>> No.55069836

>>55067392
Yeah, I'm guessing they printed this like Jerome Powell prints the USD.

>>55068295
I agree that it is a long-term hold; but you're right that is it really worth it even if in 10 years I turn say $150 into $1,500? I guess not, and it's unlikely to happen if everyone has the same idea. I might be lucky to double or triple at best.

Not really an investment in monetary terms however I did get all the original base set cards for myself just for the memories of my childhood, I would really only sell if they 10x or something but big doubt on that happening.
