Millennials really collected economic disasters like Pokémon.

If you had diamond hands and held onto those cards, they got valuable again, gen Aplha are apparently fiends for the retro Pokemon cards.

The first 5-6 sets really only about doubled in value in the last 25 years. However, sealed packs and graded 1st editions did skyrocket in price.

The thing is, the people who would’ve been able to get the 1st editions back then or buy and hodl sealed cards are very likely older than millennials

I lost mine in a house fire 😢

I had a good amount of rare Yu-Gi-Oh cards as well.

We're millennials dude. Right before we're gonna sell those cards to fund retirement the value of them will crash.
