@Collector_Crypt and
@phygitals both goated apps frog been using for like 9 months now
Even though I never really mentionned my interest there I’m very pleased to see those 2 win as much as they do
I gotta say and I’m not sponsored at all that
@phygitals has an absolutely amazing support team, every single issue I’ve encountered been solved as fast as they could no question asked
Pokémon has incredible staying power and we’re nowhere near the top when it comes to its relevance, yes some of these prices need to cool down for a healthy continuation but nostalgia and the bits to atoms thesis will fuel this multi decade long growth
And btw most collectors cant really explain where does this recent explosion in prices come from when it’s actually really simple: those gachas companies (from Gamestop to Phygitals etc) act as price insensitive buyers on every "high end" slab available on the market (just like a DAT for a crypto coin). To acquire and retain users they have to own the most attractive inventory in their gacha machines, hence why they just end up absorbing the entire sell side liquidity on the market, paying 100K for a card that was 25K six months ago and marketing it as 100K slab in their gachas
They dont invest for a future profit on the cards, they simply pay any *extreme* prices for good marketing
So basically: as long as people gamble on slabs and as long as those gacha companies are in green the market will keep going up dragging everything with it up and to the right
