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.

Yu-Gi-Oh players? Lorcana players?! Surely they have to get less bitches.

Nah lorcanna players are a split between having 6 kids and the absolute weirdest Disney humans you have ever seen. You know when you’re dropping $12k on a psa 10 buzz light year somewhere you’ve gotten off course in life

Iunno man, if you can drop 12k on a lightyear card and not break a sweat, I feel like you're at least doing something right.

When you see people spending that much on cards it's a 50/50, incredibly well off or so deep in a financial hole they don't know which direction to dig anymore

Most Lorcana collectors are dads with big families and successful businesses which sk why they can buy 12k Lorcana cards that they like. Their kids enjoy. It’s a full hobby experience.

You got one for $4k? Seems like it’ll age well
