Pokemon 25th Anniversary Celebrations Elite Trainer Box The Pokemon Celebrations ETB is a great buy for investment purposes. This collection was, as the name suggests a celebration of the best Pokemon cards over the last 25 years. The entire collection is sought after but some notable additions include an original artwork Charizard, a Shining Magikarp and a Birthday Pikachu. There is also some conjecture as to whether or not the glue would damage the surface of the card. Only time will tell. This card is still really cheap to add to your collection of investment pieces, so, it wouldn’t be a great loss if you did return to it in 10 years time, to find it damaged. Let’s hope not though! The Pokemon scene was looking forward to the new set, but when the Pokemon Go TCG expansion reveal trailer showed the Ditto card was apart of it, things really took off! The new set was incredibly popular right out of the gate.

There were 25 ‘classic’ cards among the collection, which tend to be more sought after. But, it’s the entire sealed, unopened Elite Trainer Box (or ‘ETB’ for short) that’ll achieve the greatest return on your investment. I’ve included the set this card came out of further up the article. If you can’t get a hold of the set, try and get the individual card. The set it’s self was quite expensive, so this promo card might not be available in vast quantities like other promos, hence the rarity.The niche here is UK availability. Keep it for a few years either sealed or in a folder as a master set and I predict that you’ll atleast double your original Pokemon investment. If you don’t buy the Special Delivery Charizard, then consider this, the Charizard Vstar. This awesome looking card is a perfect choice for potential Pokemon investors.

Remember, all of this isn’t investment advice. It’s purely opinion based on a number of factors including popularity among the scene, scarcity and rarity aswell as signals coming from online message boards such as reddit. Another one straight from the Pokemon Go App. If you’re familiar with the mobile game you’ll know that if you catch a specific Pokemon it could potentially turn into a Ditto. The enamel pin is super high quality and looks fantastic. Keep this one sealed, protected from dust and contaminants and in a few years you should atleast triple your outlay, if not more!

You’ll be able to find a Ditto card if the following cards have a small Ditto icon in the bottom left hand corner; Spinarak, Natu, Bidoof or Numel. They’re already becoming increasingly harder to get a hold of and un-opened, sealed condition is what’ll make this already sought after box, one of the best ROI’s you’re likely to get in modern Pokemon History. If you can get a flawless looking example, put it in a sleeve and hide it away for 10 years, it’ll be sought after in the future. The image above really doesn’t do it justice, the holo looks superb.
