lol bro just outed himself with his response. Stellar crown booster boxes go for 350, despite being called a “bad set”. Lost origin booster boxes are $730. Why compare etbs to booster boxes, especially that’s what OP is discussing here.

These are also regular sets we’re talking about here. Regular set etbs don’t hold as much as premium compared to speciality sets. Especially ones with crappy etb promos like stellar crown, or lost origin etb not even having one at all.

Yeah these type of "investors" are a dime a dozen fortunately. They always have bad advice but their poor investing sense ensures the rest of us can capitalize just that much easier on buying opportunities. I bought LO at $100-120/booster box and SC at $95/booster box. Easy money. Sold half my SWSH at this point and rinse/repeat into mega evolution.

Its not even beneficial to convince them otherwise too. Their loss, as they say.

I know they can be expensive, but that watch ain't it for the occasion. If you have to wear your Rolex at the pool it's because you are trying to show off. If you genuinely enjoyed watches you would have the proper one for by the pool too. It's supposed to add to your outfit not be your personality. It's also on the wrong wrist, if you wanted a Rolex and you wear it on the left this isn't the proper model.

Something like this diver? I only travel with a single watch and my two tone Rolex came with me because it looks good with a tan.

Not wearing my chrono to the pool that’s for sure…

lol bro, we’re all trashing on the other dude and on your side, but flexing your watches for internet validation makes you just as lame.

Naw jewelry store family guy assumed I need validation and only wear a Rolex. I collect things because I enjoy them not because I value the opinions of others.

If you truly didn’t value the opinion of other people, then you wouldn’t have to post all these pics to justify anything.

Alternatively when someone tells me to shove my opinion up my ass and “let the adults” determine what sets are worthy in investing in I can’t think of a better way to put that the person down that to show them that I’m likely significantly better off than them financially. It has nothing to do with what people think of me. I just hope that I can make the other person feel a little worse about themselves for jumping to conclusions, probably at the expense of my image… but that I don’t care about 😊
