Is It Too Late to Invest in Pokemon Cards?
The short answer: No it’s not too late.
The longer answer:
Pokémon as a franchise has maintained relevancy over the past 20 years and as a result have navigated times when cards weren’t as popular as they are today.
One of the main reasons that make Pokémon cards such a fantastic buy is the complexity of their structure with the games, cards, movies/tv shows, and merch. Thus, even if the cards stop doing well for a short amount of time, a movie, game, or merchandise item will continue to provide reminder branding for the general public.
Moreover, the other layer is that you will continue to hear about characters like Pikachu and Charizard for a much longer time than you would a number of sports players because a Pokémon’s “career” doesn’t truly end when they stop playing.
