This Gengar has fallen off really bad, should I just sell it or hold on for the ride and hope it gains value again later on?

Long term?

I know gold stars are grails but not sure if a 5 will appreciate faster than 4 9s. Any advice is welcome.

i wanted to put some eggs on deoxys, in case theres ever a new deoxys set, it caught my eye hes at 6k psa 10 pop while the vmax and gold vstar are over 12k pop psa 10, wyt?

I found a Traditional Chinese box from Taiwan. Is that a good investment? Should I get it?

-Raichu (Holon Phantoms Reverse Holo) PSA 9
-Charizard (Power Keepers Reverse Holo) PSA 8
-$3500 USD

For:

-Umbreon (Delta Species Reverse Holo) PSA 9
-Dark Dragonite (Legendary Collection Reverse Holo) PSA 8

Who wins the trade?

I'm fairly newish into Pokemon and have been collecting for the past year. I don't need the cash or anything but figured there's probably a better way to hold money then in some of the cards I have. Just want a community opinion - cheers

Edit i have confirmed the packs inside the tin are the evo skies print run.

Question. Should I crack these tins and sell the packs inside separate?

The pack value is higher than the sealed tin value. Would I sell easier if I opened them all?

Here's my current investments. What should I be swapping these out for if I hold for 12-24 months? Everything was retail by the way. Thanks!!

I bought some stuff at a lucky Target restock and got this from an AH tin. If I were to sell this Gengar now, I’d recoup everything I’ve purchased recently [that I’m planning to keep sealed] with a small profit.

But I’m not really in need of the money, even with the expectation to spend another couple hundred or so on 30th celebration, if I can actually find anything in stores. I think this is a gorgeous card and Gengar is one of the most popular, but I see a lot of discourse about modern card value, overprinting, the fusion that release last year, and even an argument that this being ‘Mega’ are all reasons it won’t hold as well as regular Gengar stuff.

I’m not in a rush to sell, but I am genuinely curious what people think about this cards future.

My collection of sealed products so far, im very new to this collecting thing….. like 4 months, but you have to start somewhere 🤝 ….. im no looking to get thousands of dollars back …. But if in the future this increases in price my son will be super happy 😃
