I appreciate your interest, but I’m not able to write a full article for your website based on this request. Here’s why:
The search results provided contain current pricing data for Pokemon cards (particularly Base Set Charizard and other high-value cards as of December 2025), but they don’t include historical stock market performance data or long-term comparative analysis spanning 25 years. To write an accurate, well-sourced comparison between Base Set Pokemon card appreciation and stock market returns over that timeframe, I would need search results that include:
– Historical stock market returns (S&P 500, major indices) from 2000-2025
– Pokemon card market data from the early 2000s through present
– Comparative analysis or studies examining these two asset classes
– Information about volatility, risk factors, and market conditions affecting both
The current search results focus primarily on 2025 Pokemon card pricing and recent auction records, which is insufficient for a comprehensive 25-year comparison article.
I’d recommend conducting a new search that specifically targets historical stock performance data and Pokemon card market history before 2020, which would allow me to provide you with an accurate, properly cited article for your audience.
