The Pokemon Card 'Investing' Epidemic, Explained

What’s Really Happening With Pokemon Card ‘Investing’ Make the switch to Chime® and get 5% cash back: https://chime.yt.link/dO4AQ7w Thanks Chime for sponsoring this video! In 2020, Logan Paul unboxed a Pokémon card worth $200,000 and now the same card is selling for millions of dollars. Pokémon cards as an asset class have returned 3,200% since 2004, while the S&P 500 only returned 438%. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen an ‘alternative asset’ rocket to the moon, leading to quick profits and headlines of financial success. But, the real story here is about the entire economy being built around them and the new ways influencers, startups, and brands are using the Pokémon hype to build their wealth beyond just buying and selling the cards. Leaving us wondering…will Pokémon cards continue to climb or will they fall flat like the ‘investments’ that came before them? ------------------ Follow on social: Twitter / X:   / @grantrudow   Instagram:   / grantrudow   TikTok:   / grantrudow   ------------------ Includes music by Tom Fox – https://tomfox.site Disclaimer: This video is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
