The Pitfalls of Investing in Collectibles as a Tech Geek – Gold vs. Trading Cards & Figures

Description:
As a tech geek, I love cool collectibles like MTG cards, Pokémon, and action figures, but are they actually good investments? In this video, I break down the pitfalls of investing in collectibles compared to gold, which holds value because we can't make any more of it.

💰 Key Points:

Gold vs. Collectibles: Gold is scarce, but collectibles can be reprinted or reissued, affecting value.

Condition Matters: Mid-quality collectibles lose value, and even top-tier items need to be stored away from light and air to prevent damage.

The Market is Unpredictable: What’s valuable today may crash tomorrow if demand drops or new versions are released.

Nostalgia vs. Investment: Collecting for passion is great, but don’t expect every old toy or card to fund your retirement.

🎥 Watch this before investing in collectibles! Let’s talk about the nuance of collectible markets and why keeping things in pristine condition is a challenge.
