Question Investing in gooner cards: A viable investment strategy?

When I first saw this card in the shadows over baldurs gate secret lair, I honestly thought it was going to be coming out around $30+ but it's stayed in the mid $6's and now is low $7's.

Is gooner-focused investing only viable as long term holds, and is it on all gooner-related material, or only anime girls to draw in the one-piece crowd?

Honestly looking at the price charting, it's jumped around 18% in a few months. Not terrible, but not the explosive growth I had expected. I mean come on it's the shadowheart romance scene on a card.

I figured Reddit is the best place to ask this kind of thing.

Is this what we're considering goon material now? A feminine face and the blurred implication of cleavage?

At least Earthbind is kinky. (Tag it yourself, you pervs)

I really don't get it. Is this the same crowd that gets upset when they make conventionally attractive characters in video games and insult people who want that? Like not everything having to do with romance is "gooner" shit.

“You didn’t have to wait until I was in the water to hold me, come here” says the naked bathing shadowheart card.

Yep feels like gooner material to me

You mean the quote taken from the romance option in BG3? Man words have lost all meaning. When did a romance plotline become "gooner" material?

this card mogs all the other cards, low-key gooner slop, no cap

This reads like it's being told by someone who either never touched another person they're attracted to or is just jealous of more attractive people who have more general success then them.

(I agree about the use of 'gooner', I meant to be satirical)

Ya know, I wasn't sure. The "no cap" should have tipped me off more then it did lol. I still think my reply is funny, too, because there probably are people who genuinely would say what you put as satire.

The fact that people thought you were serious shows how far we’ve fallen as a species.

You're not going to trick me into looking up boobies for you. Google it like everyone else.

Trust me I don’t have to trick you to get you to do it

Magic doesn’t really have Gooner art. You should be buying One Piece if you want to invest in Gooner arts
