On Monday, my founder told me I wasn't needed anymore. He gave me the chance to tender my resignation. For the first time in my adult life, the paycheck is about to stop. Strangely, I've never been more sure of what's next. 🧵

You can build alone. You shouldn't build lonely. The difference is the entire game. 🧵

Two months in on @SYNDCapital_ A reflection on what building for collectors has actually taught me. Not a hype post. Not a launch post. Just the honest version of where I am. 🧵

Pokemon cards are not an investment vehicle. They are a real market. The difference between a collector and a trader isn't passion, but whether you have the inputs when the other side asks for a number. That's what we're building at SYND. synd.pro/blog/are-pokem… #PokemonTCG #buildinpublic

How do you actually answer the question? Replace "is Pokemon a good investment" with five questions per card: 1) Liquidity 2) Volatility (peer-normalized) 3) Floor strength 4) Spread (asker vs realized median) 5) Momentum That's a Terminal job. Not an allocation decision.

Are Pokemon cards a good investment? Wrong question. Knight Frank's 2026 Luxury Investment Index tracks 10 alt-asset categories. Trading cards aren't one of them. The wealth industry already classified Pokemon. By excluding it. Here's the honest framework. 🧵

Pokeinvestors, what do you think about a Charizard Index?

Wish me luck. #founder #nontechnical #startups #buildinpublic @SYNDCapital_

Set drops June 6. If you’re a Pokemon investor tracking pricing across English, Japanese, and now Chinese sets, that’s exactly the friction SYND is being built to solve. Watching this one closely. Going to be a wild market. #PokemonTCG #synd

Here’s the move most casual collectors miss. Chinese-exclusive cards trade differently than English or Japanese. Lower liquidity. Bigger arbitrage windows. Higher long-term premiums on sealed product. If you’re trading Pokemon and not watching China releases, you’re playing on hard mode.

Pokemon China just announced Blooming Legends, dropping June 6. It’s their version of Prismatic Evolutions. But there’s a catch. A Chinese-exclusive Sylveon ex is coming with it. Unlikely to release anywhere else. Here’s why this matters for the market. 🧵

Stop tracking your PSA 10 slabs on a fragmented spreadsheet. When you treat graded TCGs like a true commodity, you need infrastructure that shows you the exact math in real-time. PSA 10 Moonbreon: Cost Basis: $1,800. Market Value: $4,750. Unrealized: +$2,950 (+163.9%). The SYND Terminal doesn't just show you the price; it calculates your exact raw-to-slab multiplier (2.3x) and flags thin market liquidity on raw copies before you make a move. Complete financial clarity. No emotion, just data.

@dknessfalls @CardGameNomad Time to face the Elite Four.

@SYNDCapital_ @CardGameNomad Ok I found one, what's next?

Most people who joined the hobby recently don’t like or know 800+ of the 1025 Pokémon we have now 😂 Some of y’all think Jangmo-o is fake and Type: Null is a medical condition. We’ll hit Gen 20 and people will still say: “No Charizard? Set sucks.”

@dknessfalls @CardGameNomad Might need to catch a caterpie to help you with that.

@SYNDCapital_ @CardGameNomad Can't touch grass without a pokemon in my party.

@RagingCherry Can I apply
