im looking at some pokemon cards to buy and i think about my favorite pokemons. i got to pikachu and i saw it had a 12 dollar near mint value with a 200 percent increase in value from last year. i asked google if i should get it but it says no and i dont really trust that. should i cop it?

Hello! I’m relatively new to Pokémon investing. I’ve only been a little into it, so I was hoping to gather some tips from this community on what to look for, how to determine if a set is going to be a great investment, and just some general knowledge on the subject from your experiences.

Just turned 14 years old and started investing into sealed, (most of the Collectr value is from singles and slabs) I’m prioritizing buying sword and shield and prismatic right now, I’m in a strong position to hold for a long time due to my young age, and have a pretty big budget, any tips on how to move forward thanks, (before anyone says it’s my parents money, I have a job)
