5 Pokemon Factory Sealed Base Booster Packs All Charizard Art All HEAVY! UNIQUE

Description: Hi! PLEASE READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY! This is a unique listing. None like it on eBay--or ANYWHERE ELSE! THIS IS A BUY IT NOW LISTING FOR FIVE HEAVY WEIGHTED BASE PACKS ALL WITH CHARIZARD ART!!! Each weigh AT LEAST 21.40 GRAMS!!! If you are familiar with my Buy It Now listings on Ebay since 2000--you must know that I DO NOT OFFER DISCOUNTS FROM THE ORIGINAL PRICE. If you have $12,000 to INVEST, you should read this. If you don't, you probably should stop reading. I believe this is a smart investment. If I were 10 years younger, I would probably buy it myself. For real. If you think the current prices of early Pokemon are high, you are WRONG. I firmly believe we are at the BEGINNING of the rise in Pokemon values. It is a big world out there. And the vast majority of people on Earth over the age of 10--about 97% of them--have NEVER bought a single Pokemon card. For real. THAT MEANS THE MARKET FOR POKEMON WORLDWIDE IS JUST BEGINNING. Just wait three or five more years! Actually, don't wait. You know, they teach students in business schools all over the world to "buy low and sell high." WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Nearly 100% wrong nearly 100% of the time. They should be teaching people to "buy high and sell higher." I could cite you hundreds of examples of this, but it would bore me as much as it would bore you. EVERYTIME I HAVE BOUGHT A SO-CALLED "BARGAIN"--and I have been in business more than 39 years--I HAVE REGRETTED IT. No exceptions. This is true in ANY market. The stock market, the art market, the real estate market--any discretionary market. On Wall Street, they refer to buying a falling stock as "catching a falling knife." This is a Buy It Now listing. In more than 22 years selling on Ebay, I hardly ever offer discounts on Buy It Now listings, so please do not ask for a lower price. (I tell people the truth, whether they like it or not.) THIS LISTING IS UNIQUE. I have weighed five VERY HEAVY factory sealed English Base packs. All have Charizard art. All weigh at least 21.40 grams. All are long crimp packs, which means they are probably 5 to 20 times rarer than short crimp packs. It also means that because more plastic is used to make a long crimp pack, you probably have to subtract about .20 grams from the stated weight on my scale. That means the LIGHTEST pack is still around 21.20 grams--STILL VERY HEAVY. (Packs that weigh 21.00 grams or more are reliably termed heavy, which means they are extremely likely to have a hologram card inside.) The LIGHTEST OF THESE LONG CRIMP PACKS (see photos front and back) WEIGHS 21.41 GRAMS. Folks, that's HEAVY, and that is the lightest pack! I ESTIMATE THE CHANCES OF YOU GETTING A HOLO IN EACH PACK AT GREATER THAN 98%! (However, a smart investor would never open these packs. The weight ain't going down in the future.) I only give 100% guarantees to two things: 1) We are all going to die (what a bummer!) and 2) The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Since I am leaving at least 90% of all my Pokemon to my four children, I have a limited amount left of English, Japanese, French, Spanish, and Chinese Pokemon left to sell. AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I WILL BE OFFER THIS UNIQUE, RARE POKEMON COLLECTIBLE SET OF FIVE VERY HEAVY BASE PACKS. Now, the rules: 1) NO DISCOUNT. The price is $12,000. Not a penny more. Not a penny less. 2) Winner to pay within THREE days of purchase. Paypal preferred but other payment options through Ebay are fine, too. 3) Please add $155 for insured shipping with signature required if you live in the continental U.S. (I do not try to make money on shipping. Sometimes I even lose money. So what?) 4) I also ship worldwide through Ebay's Global Shipping Program. There is a fee for this service, so check Ebay for details. 5) If you have a question, please ask. 6) I am proud of my feedback on Ebay, encompassing more than 6,900 separate transactions over the past 22 years. 7) I specialize in rare but affordable collectibles and memorabilia with particular focus on sports cards, framed and unframed photos, Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, Beanie Babies and Beanie Boos, and Pokemon cards and plush. 8) The most important rule of all--DON'T FORGET RULE NUMBER ONE. Investment advisors always tell their clients not to put all their eggs in one basket. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Nearly 100% wrong nearly 100% of the time. I say find the right basket and put ALL your eggs in it. Then borrow eggs from friends and family and put those eggs in the same great basket, too. (I didn't put all my eggs in the Pokemon basket 22 years ago, but I put an awful lot of them!) Thank you for reading this far. Jerry P.S. As I said, if I were buying this, I would not open the packs. In the sports card business, there is a longtime saying that "wax is king," meaning unopened packs or boxes bring the greatest rewards. After nearly 40 years of buying unopened material, I can tell you that is true. Thanks for your time.
