Over the last six months, my numbers look roughly as follows: $103,789.23 in gross spending (include cards, packs, shipping, fees, etc.) $112,172.46 in revenue across all platforms ~$21,000 in raw card/pack inventory (based on current market value) ~400 cards at third-party grading services with a declared value of approximately $50,000 (based on current market value and their anticipated grades) What blows my mind about this entire process is that there are sellers that dwarf these numbers in terms of sales and sophistication of operation
Reception for Mega Evolution was incredible in 2025, with top chase cards reaching very high market values
I've kept them because they're important to me, and I think for at least some of the people who bid for these expensive cards, it's more about regaining a lost part of their childhood than it is about snagging a card they can hopefully sell in a few years for a profit
Those 12,800 words I ended up having to write about Extended were also part of my list
Technically, this proxy from MoonBlissed on Etsy isn't super funny, but it's a clever use of the cards name to relate it to the popular horror film
