My 9 yo son pulled a Pokemon card worth $600, he's committed to getting it graded and buying BTC with most of the proceeds. Going to keep $50 for more cards

Nice

Smart kid

I thought he might want to keep it, hoping we can sell before value collapses. Grading can take two months

I remember the card/comic book stores as a kid. The guy would tell you how much it’s worth. I guess it’s more complicated now with the grading?

How many packs of cards can he get for 50$?

Yeah, there's an app that will tell you recent sales prices from eBay. Not just grading but each service is worth different amounts depending on their brand but an cost more.

I think 3-5 packs under 50? Not sure, he's only been into it a couple months

Ah I didn’t think of an app. That makes a lot of sense.

3-5 packs plus a utxo is a great deal for one card

Nice move. Pokémon is a shit coin.

They like it though, both the game and trading with friends. Getting some life lessons like how to not get scammed with fake cards and what value is

That rocks!

PSA here we come 💪

What’s the card!?

It's with PSA now, some holo Groudon thing. Found the value using collectr

Always reinvest profits 👍

Some solid parenting to set this up. 🫡👊
