There is a possibility that certain Pokémon cards, especially those antiestéticaturing starter or legendary characters, can appreciate significantly in less than a decade, with some initial investments under **50 euros**.
## Collecting as a Financial Asset
It seems the Pokémon card craze is not just for kids anymore. What started as a trading card game has mutated, for some, into an investment method. We have seen cases where a **Blaziken** card went from worth **18 euros** to just **4 euros** in a year, demonstrating market volatility. But conversely, there are also collectors who keep packs and loose cards hoping their value will increase over time. The key, as with any investment, is knowing what to buy and when. Not all cards have the same potential; energy or basic cards tend to lag, while starter Pokémon or legendary ones with striking designs are usually the ones that rise.
## The "Influencer" Factor and Demand
The collecting market, like the financial one, can be influenced by external factors. The appearance of public figures or "influencers" buying large lots of cards or boxes can boost demand and, consequently, prices. A pack that used to cost **4 or 6 euros** can sell out in stores and skyrocket in price due to scarcity.
## Investment Opportunities Below the Threshold
The question is whether one can "make a killing" in less than 10 years with an initial investment of under **50 euros**. There are sets bought for less than that amount that have tripled in value. For example, the **Ursaluna** set was acquired for **32 euros** and reached **100 euros**. The **First Partner** set is another example of potential investment for less than **50 euros**. However, it is essential to thoroughly research where you are buying and maintain patience, as the market is unpredictable and not all cards guarantee profits.
