S&V Era Investment Strategy

The S&V era is actively producing new sets. New releases create buying opportunities in older sets as collector attention shifts.

Key S&V investment considerations:

Demand drivers: Popular Pokémon, iconic artwork, and nostalgia
Supply: Mixed — some OOP, some active print
Liquidity: S&V boxes trade regularly on eBay UK
Time horizon: 3–5 years recommended for sealed product appreciation
