Dumped all my cards. Unbelievable i made 8k£ from all those pieces of card which Chinks will replicate indistinguishably if they continue to go up long term.

Its gonna be painful for all these fags with no market experience. Too much talk of investment, limited numbers, value long term, retirement etc from basic financial noobs.

Comics were one thing, its hard to fake them. Pokemon cards will be so easy to fake once the chinks can justify it.

Ok they are pieces of cardboard but replicating them is harder than you might think. Magic the gathering is around for almost 30 years and people still can tell fakes from originals.

I have hundreds of original Pokemon cards in a big box from when I was little. Have lots of "shinies" as we used to call them.
Tried to sell them some 6-7 years ago but were pretty much worthless so wasn't worth the effort.

Not him but in my last elementary school a parent of my friend told us why Pokemon and Teletubbies were satan messengers to brainwash children, the one I most remember is she said PIkachu is Baphomet in disguise because it has 2 ears that resemble the horns. At that time I quit religion because apparently religious people were more insane than me.

[Anonymous No.24379100]

>>24378851

Its not hard. I researched it and they have cracked exactly how to do it now. The only hurdle is tue expense of the machines to do it.

If chinks think investing 2 million on printers will net them any profit at all they will do it. If these cards continue to at least stay where they are now price wise the Chinks will build them.

Pokemon is in a huge bubble.
There are people out there with hundreds of perfect mint holos of charizard and all the other big dollar cards.
The value is based on the rarity and people have a shit ton of them so they aren't rare anymore.

The problem is most cards are PSA 8 and even a PSA 9 isn't worth a lot. You need PSA 10.

Check prices on Ebay. But it depends on what grade they are. If they arent fresh out of the pack forget about a PSA 10.

>could
Good luck finding someone to sell them at $500k.
Also, you need PSA 10 shadowless.
Most likely if you have cards from your childhood you used touch them with greasy hands, or play with them so you probably have them in this conditions.
I wouldn't even give you $100 for a card like that.

[Anonymous No.24381330]

>>24377557
Shadowless foil 1st Ed Charizard in NM/NP with a certified PSA8 or better. That's what will get you that's what will get you over 50k. Otherwise, that card needs to be even more pristine. No edge defects. No scraped material. Flawless. Then you get 100k. 500k is way higher than any reasonable collector is willing to buy and what few cards are worth that much don't get advertised as being sold since it was likely a private sale and the person buying might be buying insurance on it.

>Seriously?
Yes, she also had me gather up every single instruction book for my Star Wars lego sets, along with any pieces that had symbols on them, and burned them. Looking back, her batshit stuff like this coincided directly with her and my dad getting into fights every single night. She even knows about Chainlink because of her boomer friends, and bought 180 of it and asked me if I knew about it. She has no idea how much I have, and she will never find out.

>>24378946
Dude the bible belt is batshit insane, I worked media for a church for a few years that would, I shit you not, let people come on stage, and bark like dogs or cluck like chickens or howl like however the fuck they wanted, and then the lead pastor would "interpret" it as the Word of God. What a fucking surprise they were led by jews, I would even see them give tours to people who looked like they just stepped off the fucking plane from Israel.
