Market insight

Why TCG collectibles—especially vintage Pokémon—are among the most consistent and undervalued real-world asset classes.

---

🎯 Why Pokémon?

• Global IP: $100B+ lifetime franchise

• Cultural resilience: spans generations and geographies

• Low correlation with crypto, equities, or real estate

• Scarcity and grading add intrinsic value (PSA 10, BGS Black Label...)

💡 Unlike trends, nostalgia and rarity don’t crash.

📊 Proven Track Record

Based on top 10 vintage Pokémon cards (ENG + JPN):

• 15–20% annualized ROI (2019–2023)

• Outperforms most altcoins over the same period

• 3–5x lower volatility

• Real asset: no protocol risk, no tokenomics collapses

Even during bear markets, collectibles continued to appreciate—especially during periods of fiat inflation and NFT fatigue.
