Vintage Pokemon cards alpha: the Pokemon KFC cards released in November 1998 are the first ever English Pokemon collectible cards released to the public. This is not a debate, here is the timeline: The KFC cards drop November 1998 → WOTC “Demo Game” Plastic Packs trickle into TCG conventions and local TCG stores in December 1998 as a limited promotional item → First Edition Base Set English WOTC TCG doesn't hit shelves until January 1999. So the KFC set predates all of it. These cards are graded by PSA and have extremely low POP counts. To put in perspective, the first ever English Charizard collectible card has a POP of around 100 in PSA 10. For English cards, this is like the Japanese 1996 Pokemon Carddass Green Part 1 cards I previously posted about, except instead of obviously not the first ever Japanese Pokemon collectible cards, it’s the first ever English Pokemon collectible cards. Very few listings of these on ebay, and severely underrated in my opinion.

@Hellaorganics Omg I need to ask for how much 💀


Rising tides life all Boats - Liquidity Modern Pokemon prices look most susceptible to a correction or maybe worse. If i have learnt anything in the last 5-6 years… it is this. Liquidity rules the world. Things that make me worry 1. Shift of attention to other categories especially Mangas, scripts, Cartridges, Non TCG - cards etc… 2. Crypto a big risk of sucking liquidity if BTC can reclaim 85k on the weekly. 3. Pivot continues into the Vintage - Just look at cards Shinies, Ivy Pikachu. Rather than say pokemon is toppy. I would say we will have some liquidity drained or reallocated. Modern will lose the most liquidity resulting in lower prices while vintage i suspect liquidity will continue to increase along with the entire “manga related collectible market” resulting in higher or at least more stable prices. This can be done even when we overall see less liquidity in the TCG portion of the market. I’m curious how even modern day grails like Ponchos, Munch and Marios goes. They will be tested but i feel they will outperform other modern (in the sense they drop the least) and will rally the most after prices bottom out. TLDR, other Pokemon/OP/DBZ overall look bullish. Not all will be equal.

If this tweet has exactly 1 like in 24 hours I’ll give that person $1,000,000


Are the pokemon vending sheets worth picking up?
