>>58081863The demand for vintage will likely have a trickle off effect as the people with nostalgia for it pass away, lose interest, or sell off their collections to pay for coming of life events, houses, weddings, kids, their kids schooling, etc.
The generation with no nostalgia for it wont really care as much.
Pokemon cards is gonna have a tricky time maintaining popularity in 15 years from now. Theres an entire generation of kids being gate kept from the hobby and not being able to meaningfully experience or get product. When theyre older itll just be this thing adults collected when they were young and wont have any sentimental attachments to it.
So we're on course a big slump in roughly 15 years time when those kids grow up and start having adult money.
I know that means far away, but thats also around the time all these investors will be hoping their cases and boxes will be worth a ton of money. Problem is there wont be a generation trying to capture their childhood, because it simply never existed for them with pokemon cards because grown men ruined the hobby for kids. Everyone wants instant gratification for their cards, no care for long term damage.
Look at Dave Persin, hes already selling off his collection its been up for sale for a while now, and no one is buying it. Theres been offers on parts or pieces but no ones biting at all of it. He's basically what everyone hopes their bag will become one day, and guess what, its not moving instantly, not very liquid at all at that level.
