#850 Are Pokémon Cards The Next Big Investment?

About this episode

The episode explores the investment potential of Pokémon cards through the insights of collector Syamil from Singapore.

Remember when Logan Paul made headlines selling a Pikachu card for US$16.5 million? It put the spotlight on the booming world of Pokémon card collecting, and now, Singapore has its own player in the game: Syamil from @Konbiniripz. We got a close-up of his collection, with some cards valued at $20K–$30K. But after the rise and fall of trends like Labubu and Bearbrick, will Pokémon cards last? Syamil shares his backup plan.
