PSA 10 Base Set 2 Pokémon Cards: Prices, Returns & Investment Comparison
8 cards from Base Set 2 graded PSA 10: 46 real sale prices, annualized returns and a comparison with Bitcoin, the S&P 500 and gold.
Pokémon cards as an investment, compared with Bitcoin, stocks and gold. The figures rest on 46 recorded sales of eight cards from public auction archives.
The Set
Base Set 2 came out in the US in February 2000 and reprinted 130 cards from the Base Set and the Jungle set. Many artworks therefore exist twice, in the original set and in Base Set 2, told apart by the set symbol. Base Set 2 had no 1st Edition print. The edition question that drives Base Set prices does not come up here.
The cards recorded here are graded PSA 10, the top grade of the grading service PSA. A comparison with the Base Set shows how the reprint fares against the original printings.
