S&P 500 annual return in the 90s was wild: 1991 +26.3% 1992 +4.5% 1993 +7.1% 1994 –1.5% 1995 +34.1% 1996 +20.3% 1997 +31.0% 1998 +26.7% 1999 +19.5% 8 out of 9 years up. 5 years straight of 20-30%. Can AI do something similar?

@BonsaiNate @rarefinds @getcollectrapp Exchanged refers to trading in the game. E.g. scyther is found in red version, so only the green card has that text

@BonsaiNate @rarefinds @getcollectrapp All trade only Pokemon (gengar, alakzam, etc) will have the text “exchanged from the other version”. See how the red card says exchanged from green

We now have @getcollectrapp bull posting the vintage Pokemon Carddass cards that I posted about on February 17th. See my prior post, including explanation as to why the Pocket Monsters “Green Part 1” Carddass from 1996 are the ones to focus on and should have the most long term value as the indisputable first ever Pokemon collectible cards. x.com/rarefinds/stat… The Carddass Gengar card in the @getcollectrapp post is from 1997 and nice, but it’s nowhere near the level of value of the Part 1 cards that I posted about. Regardless, I am glad that large TCG and collectibles accounts are showing love towards these vintage Pokemon cards that were under the radar and are finally being appreciated by the market and collectors.

@rarefinds @getcollectrapp The 1997 sets with Pokemon using their moves is legendary, even if it wasn’t the first.

@BonsaiNate @rarefinds @getcollectrapp Its when a pokemon isn’t found in that color version in the actual game. It will say exchanged from the other version. As gengar is tradable only both the red and green cards have that text.

@rarefinds @getcollectrapp I just noticed this on a gengar prism? I’ve seen it on a few others. What do you make of it?

@dachshundwizard Love this card. Looks like a karate chop if I think about it

Mondays got us all feeling like

@ChrisDunnTV How do we get in

There’s an inside crew and we ain’t in it

@ConRoSmallz You and me both, brother! 💯

@AndyTechTrends I absolutely love vending series

Pokémon twitter is just people stating opinions these days, I want to see your beautiful CARDS!!!! Feel free to indulge me in the replies with something cool you picked up recently 😊

@BandzMcBagz Bulba

Gm who is your favorite gen 1 starter?

@tonemadureira @BandzMcBagz Facts

@BandzMcBagz Bulbasaur hands down

@KennyLauderdal3 Team Aqua vs Team Magma is so hideous I love it

Love these Pokemon cards that are clearly just Game Freak testing out late 90s era computer graphics.

@Upticken @marketsurge Can we start a position with the VIX and Index where they are? Or are we waiting?

FSLY is screaming "new leader." Edge computing solves real AI infrastructure bottlenecks - latency, bandwidth, privacy - and the market just woke up with a +700% EPS report. Top idea for the back half of 2026. 🔥 RoppelReport.com #IBDPartner @marketsurge get.investors.com/marketsurge/?u…

@0xBaseee @alpha_pls Go back and listen to all the SMPratte videos. Collect what you like. Older, rarer, minter = better.

If you had to give a pokemon newbie an advice, what would be the best vintage card or top 3 to buy right now to have a steady price appreciation (not looking for a 10x in one year, more like steady 10-30% which compound over the years). Saw a lot of smart people investing into Pokémon cards so I wanted to give it a shot.

How I view the Pokemon market currently: Dumb money is fomoing into high supply modern cards (a lot of crypto bros), alongside paying ridiculous premiums for PSA 10s of these cards. The insane premium on PSA 10 modern cards won't last. The supply is absurdly high. These are not scarce assets and there will almost certainly be a crash, as people are forced to sell their cardboard due to bad economic conditions. Unemployed scalpers will be forced to undercut each other some time later this year. The market will be flooded with modern as the business cycle turns. Yes, Pokemon will not defy the business cycle. The majority of modern graded cards will never return to their highs and will be largely forgotten about over time, as people chase new sets. People will still continue to buy modern sets because the content machine/hype around trying to pull the SAR is very powerful. Rip modern packs for fun to pull the cards you like, or buy the raw cards when they are much lower in price. Vintage is different. Many of them are actually scarce (low pop), very sought after assets by real diamond hand collectors. There is no more supply to hit the market or be graded. Vintage will have a correction, but there will be far more demand to buy at lower prices, whereas the floor for modern is mostly 80-90% lower and will stay there. There will be a few anomalies, and a few modern cards that become grails, which will sustain enough demand to see a price rise eventually. Couple of beauties from my PC below that will stand the test of time (personal preference is Japanese vintage).

@Upticken Optimistic but patient 💯

Optimism is the key to compounding wealth. Don't look away from the market, even when things are tough. Stay optimistic and keep compounding, but be smart—now's the time to ease off the accelerator and wait for the right moment.

@crimsonavenger You’ve still got it, King 👑

Whats the age when you just give up? I’m 58 this year and don’t feel like giving up yet. I still wear the vans and listen to punk and metal and enjoy a drink. Don’t think I’m embarrassing myself to be honest.

@FiZZiKKZ @RookieXBT Yeah here they come 🤦‍♀️

@RookieXBT Please stfu and don't ruin this to

pokemon cards cooking so hard wow

@RookieXBT Top signal

@TedPillows A lot of people are going to get caught out on the relief rally IMO

S&P 500 has made a lower low on the weekly timeframe. IMO, SPX could dump another 10%-15% before bottom.

@BonsaiNate @Beezie No debate. Green and Red both released same time. GRAILS.

It’s debated whether the green Charizard was before the red. Sometimes when there’s a debate it’s just easier to settle it by getting both. Special thanks to @Beezie for sticking the red one in the gold claw machine for me to win. $250<$5000 These are the OG OG Charizards in case you were wondering. 1996

@terhyc Let’s say we get a bear market in 2026. Can the leaders like $LITE defy gravity?
