Would You Rather Buy with $4.5k?

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to start maybe a little fun discussion and conversation on here, not talking about or seeking investment advice. Just personal opinions and collection desires, etc.

So, I’ve listed 3 items below that (I think) are similiarly priced around 4.2-4.5k. If you had 4.5k to spend and you had to pick from the below, which would you rather have?

  1. 1st Edition Base Charizard PSA 8

  2. 1st Edition Base Venusaur PSA 10

  3. Fossil 1st Edition Box

And just for the giggles, I’ll throw in a 4th option:

  1. 2x 1st Edition T17 PSA 9

Again, not seeking investment advice or guidance with what should I do with 4.5k lol. Just thought it would be an interesting discussion on 3 WOTC classics.

EDIT: CHANGED BLASTOISE TO VENUSAUR INSTEAD NOW

Charizard 1st Edition PSA 8 for me

All recent sales for a PSA 10 1st edition Blastoise have gone for at least $6k.

(And that would be my answer regardless of value)

Man those are all good, but for me I would have to say the charizard (If we are excluding the ability to take a separate option sell it and buy the charizard with left over money). I have no 1st ed base charizard in my collection and I would love having one! And an 8 would look spicy.

Blastoise for sure, for that price.

Whichever one you’ll hold onto the longest

Ok well I guess my value for the blastoise was off a bit with some recent sales haha.

Anybody have some better alternatives to throw in the ring?

Not me. You. Which would you buy? lol

I’d hold onto all of them for a while.

I think Blastoise, but you can’t find one for $4.5k

As mentioned above Blastoise if you can find one for that price (which I highly doubt) close second being Charizard.

Option 4.

Because its my fav of those all lol :blush:

Ok edit and changed blast boy to giant toad guy.

There is 4 or 5 routes I’d go with 4.5k to spend on cards but none of them are listed. So hmm I guess I’d pick the Zard

Minty fresh Fossil 1st Edition box? Don’t know if you could find one for that price right now. But that would be my vote.

With a PSA 10 Venusaur as a close 2nd :blush:

I know this isn’t an option but I’d buy a shining psa 10 1st ed charizard strong grade. I’d add a little cash or a little more in trade since it’s worth little more.
It’s charizard, it has first edition symbol, it’s a shining, easily top 5 charizards, psa 10, and it’s my favourite set card in Pokémon.

Fossil bocks.

It would be between the fossil box and charizard. I would prefer charizard, but I already own one so maybe a fossil box. Too hard to say.

  1. 1st Edition Base Venusaur PSA 10

I’m with him, except swapped. Venusaur PSA 10 gives you the satisfaction that nothing can get cleaner (IMO).

Fossil Box… it’s like holding a mini treasure chest in my eyes. Either way, you’ll be stoked! :grin:

T17PSA9 should be up to 5k by next week and 50k in a month, so I’d go with two of those and trade them in for 2 PSA 10 1st Base Charizards

If I were a patient man I’d hold on to the T17PSA9 for 2 months and buy all the trophy cards ever printed including pkonno’s stash, but that’s just too long of a turnaround for me.

Real answer: PSA 8 Charizard
