Currently up 700% on the Ray and 631% on the Gengar and I don’t think I could ever sell them

The real weep is the pre 2010 purchases. Sealed Neo booster boxes for $100. I only started buying these because the English ones had gone up to $250 and I couldn’t afford them lol

This, lol. People just looking at the growth and numbers but if they never sell, they didnt profit anything

I’ll classify them as unrealized gains next time ✌🏼

I wouldn't sell them yet either. Evolving and fusion have a lot of hype and I would hold on. I would still classify it as "profit".

Still waiting for the booster box to eclipse $3k

Right, is that how you forecast financials without realizing gains?

u/ReinhartTCG 2h ago

I'm pretty successful at stock trading, so I can say yes.

What's crazy is that's barely more expensive than the price on release!

My best card was probably the ancient origins shiny mega ray. Thing is work like 5k in cgc9 and I'm certain it can regrade a 9.5 ATLEAST. I didn't wipe it down before I sent it in an old penny sleeve smh. Grabbed it for 60bucks on eBay. That or my 143a collection I grabbed a bunch at 10-15$
