I personally see the market going down right now to an equilibrium. Right now as many people have said is a buyers market. My question for you is, do you ever see yourself coming back to Pokémon 10, 20, 30 years from now? If the answer is no then I say wait for the right time and sell, if you might come back later, keep them. I’ve heard many stories from people about how they regret selling when they got burned out and then coming back 10 years later only to have to buy back everything they had before. I’ve realized over the years that I’ll always come back to Pokémon no mater how far I drift away so I would personally keep my cards but every person is different. None the less, I would wait till the market goes back up to sell them. Hope that helped!

If you need the money to sustain another hobby; you already answered your own question. It’s a bear market right now so it’s easier to buy at great prices than sell at great prices. That said, it doesn’t hurt to post the cards up on ebay for the prices you WANT and slowly start selling when you get bites on prices you’re happy with. What hobby are you switching over to?
Well I been Collecting few pop culture statues for 2 years now. Just finished this custom cali closets display up. Might drop few Psa 10s on display there too.
Wanna buy a few large new ones.
But overall, I wanna get a weekend car. Maybe proshe 911 turbo. Idk. Let’s see.
A nice goal, but you might need to sit on those cards for a couple more decades if you’re wanting a turbo. Unless you’re looking for some stock vintage early 00s kinda model?
The best time to sell is when you don’t need to and when you can be patient with the sales.
As someone else mentioned it never hurts to throw your collection up on eBay to see what offers roll in. You can see many members on the forum myself included throw up chunks of their collection in large listings at a reasonable premium to current market value with a BIN OBO format. You can’t lose with it. I’ve been shocked to sell some chunks here and there for well over what I expected from time to time and just replace it down the line or fill it back in with spares I have laying around. If I don’t sell no biggie. But yeah it can’t hurt to have some listings up and hear what offers roll in.
Hold on to them man!! If you really need the money for yourself/family then sell. If you can get by without selling your cards I recommend I keeping them. Or if you want you can give me your collection as a gift.
