True, except Pokemon creates thousands of new fans a day and there’s nothing else close in terms of global competition right now. Pokemon is a closer comp to early Disney nostalgia than sportsball trading card nostalgia. The last time a new Ken Griffey Jr. fan was created was over 2 decades ago, which is why his trading cards have plummeted in value. Charizard doesn’t have that problem because millions of 6-year-olds per year have become fans over the past two decades. Pokemon still has higher to go.

@BowTiedRanger It works right up until the population that values the asset starts dying off. It's happening with vintage guitars right now.

I should say, 30 or less. Some, like recruiter and lackey, are closer to 15 copies.

Excitement over the upcoming Wizard of Barge goblins SLD deck has caused rainbow foil copies of the existing Barge SLD goblins to dry up pretty dramatically, with about 30 LP/NM copies of each of the following left on TCGplayer #mtgfinance

I had an entire binder of Japanese Pokemon Holographics, including a full page of base set Charizards. Never played, I’d open up the packs, sleeve them, and gently place them on display. Every single card was mint. Then one day at school, I opened my backpack and my binder was gone. Someone stole them and I was devastated. 25 years later, I still think of this. I occasionally check eBay and wonder if I’d recognize my set if it went up for sale. Never caught the kid who stole it from me, either.

I was a Pokemon fanatic as a kid and my prized possession was a holographic Japanese Charizard. I remember I was kind of pissed about it because I wanted one in English. Forgot about the entire collection as I got older and have never been able to find it since. I still have nightmares about what happened to it.

A lot of Reserved List cards have been either quietly ticking up or spiking after supply has been drained (Firestorm the most recent culprit). This is a good time to start buying up RL cards that are playable but not yet spiked. Cadaverous Bloom is in my sights at the moment.

Chronatog buyout appears to be underway. Down to 5 sellers on TCG. Little bit skeptical as despite being a premodern card, play is fairly limited so we’ll see #mtgfinance #premodern

Mortal Combat has been blazing through copies in the last day or so, if someone happens to know why let me know. Quickly on its way out of the $5 range if this keeps up. #mtgfinance

Reddit has been posting about this card on repeat, and supply is starting to move a lot. This may exit the $1-3 range and shoot up this weekend. EA foils are especially attractive. #mtgfinance
