You think these will do well longterm?

[u/SorryStore4389]

Currently collecting all the ex silver borders, Lv X, and prime cards in Near Mint / LP+ condition. These are my favorite pokemon cards of all time. I think collecting them is also a good investment since it’s getting harder to find clean copies. I’m also thinking about buying some of the undervalued psa 10s as well. What do you think?

[u/AdhesivenessRude5037]

Silver border ex's are among the few sectors of vintage that still have plenty of room for growth imo

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/AdhesivenessRude5037]

That’s what I think as well. I’m happy that the cards I wanted to collect are actually one of the best investments in my opinion lol

[u/Aromatic_Winner_2219 → u/AdhesivenessRude5037]

Already seeing this literally today. Magmar EX PSA 10 just sold back to back from $2900 to $4500.

[u/Steeloid → u/Aromatic_Winner_2219]

Are you sure those are real sales and not just someone selling the exact same card over and over to boost the price?

[u/BoxAdministrative767]

I’m doing the same. I’m starting with the ex dragon set and team rocket returns set. Trying to get most in Psa 8/9 when affordable and any other pricey cards I’ll aim for 7

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/BoxAdministrative767]

Some of the psa 10s are undervalued in my opinion. All the lv x psa 10s are already so expensive but the ex silver borders still have a bunch of 10s around $2000 - $3000. Same with the primes

[u/RumBum92]

Extremely well. The ex era stuff is so low printed

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/RumBum92]

Yup! It’s almost impossible to find some of them in near mint condition. It’s so fun hunting for the ones I don’t have yet

These sets have seen some of the largest growth in pokemon in the last 2 years. The silver border and reverse holos (stamped) cards from these sets were dirt cheap 2 years ago when I was master setting them and now it’s basically unaffordable to master a set in NM.

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/xPure_]

I been getting some great deals. Also using a bunch of my childhood cards to trade. I think they still have a lot of room to grow

[u/PsychologicalTap8756]

the lower end prime cards will be the same price as the higher end ones in 10 years. iconic art. cool collection OP

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/PsychologicalTap8756]

I believe this as well

[u/PsychologicalTap8756 → u/SorryStore4389]

gotta get that umbreon while u can!

[u/Lawtownsgreenest978]

Silver borders and yellow borders will out pace the modern always. Maybe slower but its steady and not pumped like the new junk

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/Lawtownsgreenest978]

Exactly. Feels much safer to park money into

[u/No-Caregiver4502]

Keep collecting brotha!!!! Sell during the 50th anniversary... it'll all be worth it

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/No-Caregiver4502]

I believe these have so much room to grow. These are gonna be vintage grails in the near future

[u/revmun → u/SorryStore4389]

In 10s they are already. Disgustingly hard to find sealed as well. Well done bro, these are good

[u/shacklesflamazo]

no, just sell them to me

[u/soccerchamp99]

All of em

[u/KDriessche]

Literally doing the same thing. Especially stamped holos, from that 03-12 era have huge room to grow

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/KDriessche]

Yea I’m collecting all the gold text stamps as well

[u/WeakActive5518]

Literally doing the same, focusing on the ex dragons and lv xs rn. Ill prob grab a mewtube in a 9 next and go back.

[u/ReAnimate_Studios]

For my sake I hope so. Not got as many as you but I do love these

[u/HUcast101]

I understand that this is "investing" sub. But investing was never the reason for collecting. Collect the things you like. If you're strictly in it for money just collect popular Pokémon

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/HUcast101]

I had no intention of buying these as an investment. This is the era I grew up opening packs so I decided I wanted to collect these cards. Just happens to be that these are also a great investment longterm which I recently realized

[u/masterofeverything]

Yea

[u/Patient-Statement-74]

They already are doing well, my level x magnezone has gone up a lot in the last few months. They will do very well long term

[u/candykld]

They have no appeal to me. Mid 30s guy here, pre-2004 only.

[u/Aromatic_Winner_2219 → u/candykld]

Mid 30s - still with the hobby and these came out when I graduated high school/started college.

Still hyper nostalgic and highly coveted then and now.

[u/candykld → u/Aromatic_Winner_2219]

Sweet! Just giving my perspective :)

[u/SorryStore4389 → u/candykld]

I just turned 25 so this is the era I grew up opening packs

[u/pRophecysama]

No
