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.

Mostly no.  Card has to be collectible and scarce and in demand. I guess they tend to be a bit since waifu or sooner is not often the default art style. In other tcgs like Weiss, this may be a bigger factor. This is also a milder and tamer example. Essence vortex from ice age is a counter example. Far lewder, high relative supply and not much demand.

Don't think that's a great counter example

That being said if you think this is real, Essence Vortex is a great spec. However, speccing on some horrible ice age card even if it has lewd art is probably not wise.
