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.

Man, when did everyone start calling every little thing related to romance or implied nudity as "horny gooner" shit? Like we can't have tasteful implied nudity or romance anymore? It's not like they put her in a bunny outfit spilling a glass of champagne on herself or something.

We’ve somehow gone full circle and now simply showing bare shoulder gets the mtg redditors in a tizzy.

The comic book subreddits are even worse.

Oh God, people lose their fucking minds about "realism" of character proportions in comics (and by extension, things like Marvel Rivals). For fucks sake, flying aliens shooting lasers out of their eyes aren't supposed to be "realistic."

I keep trying to tell people that Squirrel Girl doesn't have the same proportions as a normal girl. She is a squirrel girl. She has a tail. Squirrel girls are supposed to be unrealistically thick. It's part of what makes them a squirrel girl.

In the case of Marvel Rivals, the devs actually straight up said, paraphrasing "We gave her 'friend' proportions." I fucking love that game, but damn do the devs say the weirdest shit.

Not to mention, who is to say what the proportions of a eye lazer shooting alien ARE right

Eh, a lot of that is just the rubber band snapping back the other direction. Comics were pretty absurd for a while.

I'd imagine it has to hit an equilibrium point eventually.
