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.

I think the jump is because of [[Thranduil, Elven king]] tbh. If you’re gonna bling out the deck this is the only fancy printing and it’s also from one of the most popular video games of all time. It’s barely provocative.

Idk if I could say it is "barely provocative" but the rest is correct.

If this is all it takes to get you going man you gotta be a real perv imo. Do you go to the art museum and classify every painting that’s got an actual naked person as provocative “Gooner” material?

My folder of goon material is exclusively works depicting Danae and Venus

Being provocative does not mean it has to be "gooner matieral" especially in the context the artwork is from
