Pokémon portfolio officially crossed $30K! 🔥 Ironically, I’m starting to think it might be time to take some profits off the table. Picked up both my Rayquaza EX Ancient Origins PSA 10 and Darkrai BW73 PSA 9 just 5.5 months ago in April. Paid around $6K for Rayquaza, which has roughly doubled in value, and just $1K for Darkrai, which recently saw a sale around $12K. Absolutely insane returns in such a short period of time for pieces of cardboard! That said, I’m seriously considering cashing out on these two while the market is hot. If I do, I’ll likely go with Goldin over Fanatics. I’ve worked with Goldin before, and they’ve offered me 110% of the hammer price with no additional seller fees. Hard to argue with that, especially compared to getting absolutely reamed by eBay fees lol. As for my other two cards, I’ll likely hold onto my Rayquaza BW47 PSA 9 (pop 49) and Zekrom XY76 PSA 9 (pop 159) as long-term lottery tickets, barring some ridiculous run I simply can’t refuse. Both are older, low-population promos with plenty of potential upside if demand continues growing. And that’s the beauty of it. Even if I sell the first two, I still have exposure if the market keeps running. I’ve always believed there’s nothing wrong with taking profits, especially when an investment appreciates this much in such a short period of time. You don’t have to sell everything to win, and you don’t have to hold everything forever either. Still love Pokémon. Just trying to make sure Pokémon loves my bank account back. Because one thing’s for damn sure, I’m definitely not immune to making money. 😂
