people are currently spending thousands of dollars on old pokemon cards for cheap nostalgia points.
my dad may have thrown away all of my pokemon cards, but its not too late to profit off of the next generation.
how do we do this?
what are the zoomers collecting these days, and why will it be worth something in 20 years?

The problem is the edition and all that bullshit. I have 2 holographic charizards, 2 Venausaurs and a blastoise but my whole collection is only worth 400. I might as well hodl and keep them in my attic for 30 years. Maybe theyll be worth something someday. Condition is good but not perfect.
all base set cards, even the shitty ones, will be worth something someday. just like the alpha magic cards, theyll become relics

I have actually sold a few old yugioh cards in Mint\NearMint conditions, so i know shit about these.
for example, i sold a card called Yata-Garasu for 1750$.
the value of the card is determined by many things:
1. condition of the card - the one i sold was graded as PSA 10 (best grade, a new card with sharp corners)
2. edition - cards come in 1st edition and unlimited edition, sometimes they even make a limited edition, needless to say that unlimited is most of the times garbage, people will pay good dollars for 1st or limited only. (my card was 1st edition)
3. Rarity of the same card (Holo vs non holo, there are even types of holos which are rarer than regular holos with special patterns and stuff)
4. from which pack it was pulled - in yugioh for example, the same card can be found in different kinds of packs, in some it is considered a rare card and in some its a common card. there are packs that guarantee that you get a certain card in its 1st edition, rare holographic pattern, but once everybody get them, its garbage. you can see that if you look under the right corner of the picture on the card (for example you will see: LOD-000 which means it came from legacy of darkness pack)
if you have trading cards, treat them well, buy card sleeves and tin boxes to maintain a perfect condition, the value will peak to the highest levels. apparently, if you want to use a certain card in an official tournament, you must have the card in a good condition, and for the hardcore collectors they want the best condition out there
if you consider to start collecting, research the versions and packs that were made, which of the cards are popular and considered rare IN THAT SAME PACK, remember that for different pack it could be considered a common card. you can always find some lucky finds on ebay (real life noob-trades) - i once bought a pre-owned set of cards for 20$, one of the cards in the set was a rare one so isold it for 112$

my friend was buying every single one since they came out, he has a room lined with them. I hope it pays off for him.
Unfortunately, everything is digital now.
Is there even a premium on these for being unopened? Also they take up a lot of storage room. A million dollars worth of Pokemon / MtG cards can fit in your pocket.
What's up guys, Rudy here from Alpha Investments.
Hey Rudy, explain for us Timmy's please: how do you manage to consistently turn 15 seconds worth of content into exactly 10 minute videos?
There's no more money in "collectibles" to be made anymore, because the companies that produce them realized how much money they could make by reissuing the item instead of letting other people profit from their product.
Very few collectible items released in the 2000s will ever be worth significantly more than its original listing price. The best thing you can do is escape inflation when buying certain limited luxury items like watches.
i prefer crypto card games like relentless at loom.games
you can get packs just by playing and sell the cards you get for ether at their marketplace
The zoomers are collecting things that are sold at a markup directly and marketed as "rare and collectible". I doubt you can profit from it. They are collecting crap like supreme clothing, "limited" edition sneakers etc, whereas the boomers did collect more rational things like stamps and coins.. things that weren't necessarily created to be collectibles.
I think a lot of the modern so called rarities are in a bubble and that their stacks of pop funko plastic figurines and cardboard will suffer the same fate as beanie babies.
The retro game market will probably also suffer the same fate as very few of those games are actually rare.
In short stick with safer collectibles.
you can artificially create scarcity like you do with bitcoin, thats why crypto card games are superior
i actually had that very charizard....itt. boomer.....how much is one worth nowdays?
The last PSA 10 1st Edition Base Charizard put up for sale sold for about $20,000 (USD).
The last BGS 10 graded one sold for $55,000 (USD).
fuck. I had all 151 pokemon, mint condition .....sold them all so i could buy perfect dark...yikes!
You likely had an unlimited set, which isn't worth much. Also condition is everything, and your cards were likely destroyed. They have to be literally flawless to get a good price. Even pulling one fresh out of a pack doesn't guarantee a flawless 10 grade.
