Buying 6 Pokemon Base Set booster boxes for $100 each, and simply storing them away for 30 years. It sounds so easy now, but hindsight is always 20/20. One recently sold for $750,000. But that $150K Buyer's Premium to the middleman is insane.

A buyer's premium is an additional fee, typically calculated as a percentage of the winning bid (known as the hammer price), that the buyer must pay to the auction house. Right? What do I need to understand?

Take me back to the days my grandma was taking me to the card shop to buy these boxes I ripped with my friends.

isn't it crazy how when you live in the moment of the decision its oftentimes overpriced conception paralysis? btc at $100, a red shiny lizard at $125, the house down the road for 500,000, interest rates, eggs, lol We think think think... and only the neuro divergent actually jump.

Yet, unlike crypto its unhackable, untraceable & uncontrollable. Hold as long as you want. Sell for whatever you desire. And hold, because you genuinely love ❤️ this game is different

This kind of market was in it's infancy back then. It made no sense not to rip em 😂

Buying BTC today and never selling for at least 20-30 years sounds easy but people will only admit it after the fact. And so on for other assets/collectibles
