Trading cards cards are now being recognized as a serious asset class by millions of investors. In 5 years, it is reasonable to expect trading cards to rival fine arts in value.

Nigga, I aint ever investing into pokemon cards or any other anime memorabilia shit like that, that's gayer than hell.

>> No.19002718

ecept the market is limited to nerds and geeks and there are literally millions of every rare card.

None of these will ever be worth anything close to fine arts which are valued at hundreds of thousands to millions.

You think in 80 years anyone will give a fuck or be able t appreciate shiny charizard anymore? all the geeks who cared will be dead

Tbh it’s all silver era collectibles it won’t be gold for another 40 years so you’re basically covering the ‘assets’ storage costs for 40 years.

I regret not buying those when they first came out. You can still find sealed copies for like 180, but theyre rare and they usually sell out fast. All the japanese battle road promos, play promos, and lp promos will go up in my opinion

I know earthcraft is still only like $80 but I still think it's cool. Planning on scooping up a concordant crossroads while that card is still cheap. Because it's starting to rise too.
