Torn between “investor” and collector mindset
I’ve been collecting since 2013, and Pokémon was never “just an investment” for me.
It was something I could finally afford for myself after growing up without much.
In 2015–2016 I owned Illustrator Pikachu and sold early. That created major recency bias that’s honestly frozen me since.
Since then, I’ve had wins and losses in stocks and crypto (Voyager/LUNA hit me hard), and I had to sell part of my collection to recover. Grateful I could—but emotionally, it was tough.
Over time, I’ve realized a lot of this created fear-based decision-making and scarcity mindset in me.
The investor side of me knows trimming part of my collection makes sense.
The collector side is attached.
I’m working on growing past that.
For those who’ve been in this long-term:
How do you decide when it’s time to sell, especially when emotions are involved?
