Vaulted Relics

Here's a closer look @NFT_NYC @billelis @trevorjonesart @beeple

@getcollectrapp Pop 2,116 😂 incredible

A PSA 10 Mario Pikachu Full Art from the Mario Pikachu Special Box just sold on eBay for $33,200. #collectr #pikachu #pokemoncards #psa10 #mario

@0xBaseee @alpha_pls This is a pop 7 (one is mislabeled in the pop report) second mewtwo ever and first as a promo. Corocoro promos are always uncentered and have edge wear, so they're super hard to grade high. Extremely undervalued imo ebay.us/m/IK5HDF

@alpha_pls Low 5 figures, don’t wanna lock up too much capital since they are not that liquid I guess

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).

@BrenzGarage 👌🏼 Next you should go for the JP PSA 10 Mewtwo set. Nearly impossible

Still week 4, but too many new ones came in we needed a part 2. About 10 total left before completing full English holo mewtwos in PSA 10.

@andy8052 Damn you're spilling your haterade

This is my hell on earth It’s over

@budfox_eth @thepropgallery Hard disagree. He was an innovator.

@thepropgallery No. He perfectly encapsulates everything that is wrong with the NFT digital art space and how he fucked it up for most artist likely permanently

@thepropgallery Eventually yes

Will Pak return?

@HobbyHero_Bros @CardChaseFun @GatoGodMode Actually it does, 1996 No Rarity 😁

@CardChaseFun @GatoGodMode Don’t get much more vintage than that

I don’t grade all cards I work on but I do grade some 😎

@beeple @multivrsstudios Watched this live at my desk. Core memory

FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY (gm)

@squirrel_wallet @QuintenFrancois Exactly, why not compare the two ATH points from just last year vs 2021?

@QuintenFrancois Cherry-picking two points in time misses the bigger picture. Crypto moves in cycles. Zoom out and you’ll see the infrastructure, adoption, and liquidity today are miles ahead of 2021.

The uncomfortable reality of crypto

@AbisaiR67517011 @MonedaSabrina Nice! The NR is objectively more rare

@MonedaSabrina Between these two but I think Japanese no rarity.

What's the rarest card you own?? #Pokemon #PokemonTCG

@xcopybot 🆓️

The Doomed (black & red) sold for 44.94Ξ gondi.xyz/collections/kn…

@alexroadweb @XCOPYART Enjoy, best piece in the collection imo 🫡

500 ICXN exist from @XCOPYART. Only 16 carry the DOOM trait. One of them is monochrome. You do the math.

@GiangiulioDavis In 2026 this is true for 99% of people

“I mean, Picassos are great,” Scaramucci said in an interview, explaining the Illustrator card’s importance. “But Pokémon means way more than just a Picasso painting to people.” cnbc.com/2026/02/25/pok…

@PokeTeeJay No Rarity Mewtwo, perfect swirl shadowball

Do me a favor and inject vintage swirls directly into my veins 💉 #Pokemon

@kaypop @BryceHall ... until 40th anniversary and then 50th... going higher every time.

@BryceHall the crash is going to be hard…Logan Paul and 30th anniversary will mark the top of this market

pokemon cards are outperforming stocks & crypto rn, let that sink in

@Will__Stern 1999 English 1st edition population: 125 1996 JP No Rarity (aka true 1st edition) pop: 10 This card deserves to be worth at least 2x the english version.

Vintage Pokémon staying hot: Goldin has a PSA 10 1996 "No Rarity" Charizard, signed on its slab by Mitsuhiro Arita, currently over $1m with 12 days remaining at auction. That beats the record for a Charizard set last week by Logan Paul's 1st Ed.

@BenMBurrows Did you even look at the card? It's not a Logan premium- the Fanatics Zard has a ton of white dings and dots on the back since it's a very low cert card. That's why it sold so low, besides the fact that the Logan auction was historic. Cmon man do better.

The Logan Paul premium might be real. On Feb. 16, a 1st Edition Charizard PSA 10 with a "Logan Paul Break" pedigree sold for $954,800 — the most paid at public auction for a non-Illustrator Pokémon card. A similar copy sold for $528,000 Thursday night with no pedigree.

@camolNFT Agreed. Mewtwo > Zard
