Ask HN: Is buying first edition packs of Pokemon a good investment?

2 pointsby throwawaycodrrrabout 4 years ago
Genuinely curious about people&#x27;s opinions. Please don&#x27;t write it off because it seems silly...<p>To add: One of the problems is that some are &#x27;heavy&#x27; in certain packs so maybe people only sell the light ones but dont say theyre light? But maybe that&#x27;s a bad way to determine whether they have holos.

No. If they were, a lot more people would be buying and trading them.<p>Trendy assets with no intrinsic value (e.g. trading cards, NFTs) are high-risk.<p>Assets like land and housing have utility. Assets like stock are supposed to have value because you have a share of the profits, although many people still speculate on public markets.<p>Put your money into something <i>you use</i> first, like a home purchase. Even if the price collapses, you may still be saving yourself money every month vs. renting.<p>Then move to something that generates value, like a high-yield index fund.

Seems like it matters if the popularity of Pokemon will go up or down in the future. Hard for anyone to know for sure.

yes, but scan each one and make an NFT of them on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensea.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensea.io</a>
