  "a million dollars PSA 10 Torchic isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars PSA 10 Torchic "

  Man, I love your videos—they’re really helpful. I’m from Brazil and have a question: what do you think about those same "Grail" cards but in Portuguese, or other versions like reverse foils? What’s your take? Do you think it’s worth getting them graded, and if they went up for auction, do you think they’d fetch a price close to the English versions?

  When new money comes in a rush like this, it never stays permanently.<br><br>Let&apos;s look at the Arcanine Aquapolis Holo PSA 10. It worked it&apos;s way from about $1,500.00 in 2020 to $4,500.00 in October of last year. That is natural and expected growth. From April to September 26th it was at $13,000.00. One just sold on the 27th for $60,000.00.<br>Now picture that graph in your head. <br><br>These prices are completely disconnected from it&apos;s real value and this is literally a text book bubble.

  My guess is there are veteran collectors advising many of these whales, consulting them on what vintage stuff to buy. I strongly doubt these multi million dollar all time high sales are all being made by regular collectors. This market is now two markets, the high end stuff, and everything else. We aren&apos;t even playing in the same league with these guys. What happens in the future is anyone&apos;s guess!

  It’s a bubble but when it pops the floor will still be wayyyy above what it was previously. Even in the next bear market (which I personally believe is coming very soon) these vintage and old mid era cards will hold up super well in comparison to modern.<br><br>In 10 years the amount of old cards that go for 7 figures will be obscene, and in the next bull market in several years I guarantee we’ll see some PSA 10s go for 8 figures for the first time.

  My question, is now an alright time to move into the mid grade gold stars? Before they become out of reach as well?

  I bought a ex delta species dragonite holo psa 10 for 475.00 and it is over 7k now. My mind is blown.

  I remember peak NFT hype. It also felt like this with vintage now. It will correct at somepoint with this amount of heat and fomo in the market

  Hey! Have you thought about covering the 1999-2000 4th Print (UK) Base Set variant in a future video? It’s such an interesting and often overlooked part of vintage Pokémon history that collectors would love to see analyzed!

  Yeah I think shill bidding is probably rampant these days. Honestly I wouldn’t touch a low pop vintage psa 10 with a 1000 ft pole right now. Everything feels untethered from genuine love for this stuff and is all about profits. When profits disappear I think a massive reset is very very possible on some of these.

  Main takeaway from this is my closet full of Jynx cards are gonna make me rich beyond my wildest dreams.
