I appreciate your interest, but I’m unable to fulfill this request as written.
The search results provided contain information about the Pokemon trading card market, pricing trends, and investment performance within the TCG space. However, they contain no information about historical artifacts, their market values, investment returns, or any comparative analysis between Pokemon cards and historical artifacts.
To write an accurate, well-sourced article comparing Pokemon cards to historical artifacts as investments, I would need search results that include:
– Market data on historical artifacts (paintings, sculptures, antiquities, etc.)
– Investment performance comparisons between the two asset classes
– Expert analysis on long-term value retention for artifacts
– Information on liquidity, authentication, and storage considerations for both categories
The current search results only support writing about Pokemon cards as an investment category on their own merits. According to the available data, Pokemon cards have delivered approximately 3,821% returns since 2004 and the global trading card market is valued at roughly 7.5 billion dollars in 2025 with projected annual growth of 7-8%. However, this doesn’t provide the comparative framework your article topic requires.
I’d recommend conducting a new search that specifically targets historical artifacts as investments and comparative analyses between collectibles categories before attempting this article.
