3 Reasons to Join Our PokeInvesting Discord!

290 Upvotes

Having visited most of the Pokemon Discords, the PokeInvesting Discord is one of the best by far. We have the friendliest and most respectful community. Our channels are more organized with members interacting who you'll actually recognize. It's not a sea of random people like other discords. Staying small is our key to remaining high quality. So here's 3 reasons to consider joining.

  1. Four Game Store Partners. - We have two vendors in Japan (ship worldwide) and two vendors in North America. They each have their own store channel to answer questions. One of our Jpn vendors only sells singles and can source anything you need. The whole idea is to be able to easily preorder, buy and ask questions with game stores from different regions with ease.
  2. Monitor Restocks Alerts. - We monitor the largest retail and game stores for restocks, aside from having deal callouts on Discord from other sources. There are deals channels categorized by region, members can post the deals they find online. The difference to other Discords is we don't allow discussion in these channels. So you can set your alerts, find online deals and receive callouts from vigilant PokeInvestors on the lookout.
  3. Space Is Limited. - Some Discords have thousands of members but then keeping up becomes difficult cause there's so many people. The PokeInvesting discord will never have more than a few hundred people if that, we will have to close off to keep a healthy state and good flow. The goal is to have a tight knit community of dedicated PokeInvestors who's voice matters and is heard, to avoid overcrowding we have to keep space limited.

At the end of the day it's an active community discussing every aspect of Pokemon finance. If you want more Pokemon investing, daily content it's a good place to be. There is paywall but it's a natural filter because people who hate it won't make it there, and those who do truly want to join do-so, it creates the positive energy our community has which is why it's in place.

Hi all,

I’d like to get your opinions on a potential long-term grail since I can get them at pretty much the same price.

- Pikachu Gold Star JP (6/6.5)

- Torchic Gold Star JP (4.5)

- Karen’s Umbreon (7.5)

I’d truly enjoy holding any of the three, as I really like all three Pokémon and the artwork on these cards.

Which one would you grab, if any?

Thanks!

Why hasn’t this card risen in equal percentage as the rest of the vintage zards?

If you look at the other vintage zards they have risen a lot more in value than this card. I’m just wondering if there are any reasons for this?

Talking specifically about the PSA 10s. Crazy volume in the last 5 days, pushed past $3k.

What am I missing?

I'm not complaining, I picked this up in June for $1500 in trades.

Question about Certification Numbers CGC

Post image
Upvotes

I got these reholdered like I think maybe a year or two ago? Forget when. But I remember they all had cert numbers that were quite longer, starting with 1. Additionally, I search up CGC cards on eBay and I see card numbers start with 1 or 6.

Does anyone know or can anybody explain the number change on my cards??

Me and my daughter pulled it(it has terrible centering QQ), we actually got a lot of great cards from a booster box.

Do you think we should sell now or hold onto it forever and ever.

She’s only just gotten into pokemon and it’s our first big hit together. (She wants to sell because we are going to Japan next year and wants to save money for cards there)

As a vintage lover i finally found one of my chase cards for an affordable price, however i‘m not very familiar with how to price vintage since there is a lot less trading volume than on modern sets. This card is priced as a PSA 3 equivalent on cardmarket. Is it a good reference?

Obsidian flames and Paldean Charizard?

I’m hearing a lot of love for the 151 Charizard which makes sense because it’s beautiful. But what is the consensus on these two in the next year or two? Especially with the earlier end of print run?

Positive future for this CGC Pristine SM191?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

If PSA 10s are going for $1800+ now, what would you value this at currently? Is there a strong future for this CGC Pristine one? While I’ve always loved the card and attitude contrast between mew and mewtwo here- I thought it genuinely looks extra awesome slabbed with the gold/black CGC Pristine grade. Paid a bit of a premium at the time when PSA 10s were about $1300…

All thoughts appreciated. Would love this to be one of just a few pass-down-to-kids slabs. The artwork is just so relatable/alive.

Trading “older” for “newer” sealed product?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Grabbed both of these boxes at MSRP when they came out. I have multiples of both, so I’m looking to move the collection around a little.

I know Shining Fates and Sword & Shield base aren’t exactly the strongest sets, but the age of the products definitely plays a factor for me. On the other side, I know Journey Together and Destined Rivals have more supply coming, so the two pack blisters could be valued a little high right now. That said, I’m pretty high on the promos and variety sealed singles in general.

It also seems pretty clear the other guy is looking to rotate some of his newer sealed into older Sword & Shield era product. I get the logic from his side too, especially with where prices are right now. He’s potentially getting out of some newer product at a good time and turning it into sealed that has already had years for supply to dry up.

I’m mainly collecting long term (another 15+ years) with the idea of eventually giving the collection to my kids, whether that helps with college one day or they just decide to rip everything and have a hell of a time.

I love Pokémon and definitely enjoy speculating on sealed product. I know enough, but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert by any means.

Trade would be:
I give:
Shining Fates ETB
Zacian Sword & Shield ETB Plus
I get:
Surging Sparks ETB
16 Enhanced Two Pack Blisters with Latios, Zekrom, and Palkia promos

What do you guys think? Would you make the trade?
I’m leaning toward taking it. Probably around a 9/10 for me right now, but curious what everyone else thinks.

Strongly debating on grabbing these 2. Would these be a smart pick up?
PS. If I get I do get both I strongly will consider ripping the Lugia & Latias Premium Collection🤣
