Why Invest in This Asset? 💎

This dual-offering of sealed 1st Edition Jungle and Fossil English Booster Boxes is rooted in both nostalgia and data. As the second and third expansions of the Pokémon TCG, these sets contain some of the most beloved vintage cards, including Snorlax, Vaporeon, Dragonite, and Gengar. Over the past 24 months, collector appetite for sealed English-language boxes from the WOTC era has remained resilient, particularly for 1st Edition prints, which are now increasingly difficult to source in authentic, unopened condition.

Historically, Jungle and Fossil booster boxes have shown consistent value retention and growth. The balanced projected ROI of 23.3% annually is based on a conservative application of 65% of the average CAGR from July 2023 to September 2025. The fair market valuation, further confirmed by a build-up method, aligns closely with the latest transactions, with the entry point showing a modest 2% discount versus recent sales. This ensures the offering is priced fairly within current market norms.

From a risk perspective, volatility remains moderate, with a standard deviation of 38.5%, typical for rare collectibles. The modeled Value at Risk (VaR) suggests a 90% probability of exceeding €18,500 after six years, providing strong downside protection. The Sharpe ratio of 0.60 also indicates a solid risk-adjusted return profile, outperforming broader benchmarks like the SMI (0.61).

Collector validation is strong, supported by 28 historical sales and growing demand for sealed vintage Pokémon products. With most boxes already opened or graded, and no new supply entering the market, scarcity continues to intensify — positioning this asset for long-term relevance, liquidity, and potential upside.

Conclusion 🎯
This offering combines verified pricing, historical growth, and iconic Pokémon legacy. With strong collector demand, a stable risk profile, and fair entry point, the Jungle & Fossil 1st Edition boxes present a compelling opportunity for those seeking long-term exposure to the top tier of vintage trading card assets.
