Market Comparison - The NFT market in 2021 had significantly more liquidity compared to the current Pokémon TCG market [1] - The Pokémon TCG market is retail-focused with lower entry price points than NFTs [1] - Participants are more inclined to take profits at a 2x increase rather than holding for a 10x increase, suggesting scalpers are releasing supply [2] - Some believe Pokémon cards have overshadowed NFTs in the current cycle due to overlapping buyer pools [3] Pricing and Valuation - During the 2021 NFT boom, gas fees for minting an NFT could exceed the price of a booster box (36 booster packs) [1] - If the current market mirrored the NFT cycle, booster boxes could cost $3,000+ instead of $300 [2] - High-value cards are available for around 5-figures in PSA-10 condition, while top NFTs like BAYC reached 7-figures with airdrops [2] - Hundreds of cards have increased in value by 500-1,000%+ in the past year [3] Distribution and Access - There are challenges with current distribution channels, with premiums of 50% being paid above MSRP [1] Future Potential - Tokenized cards/RWAs could potentially trigger a new NFT bull run, with on-chain liquidity flowing into Pokémon/sports cards [2] - Unless one is filling warehouses with booster boxes or flipping PSA-10 1st edition Charizards, it's unlikely to generate 7-figure profits [3]
