I appreciate your interest, but I need to clarify what I can help with here.
You’re asking me to write a full article for a website, which goes beyond my role as a search assistant. My purpose is to synthesize information from search results to answer specific questions, not to generate original content for publication on websites.
Additionally, the search results provided don’t contain sufficient data to comprehensively answer whether Pokemon cards outperform small cap stocks long-term. The results show:
Pokemon cards have delivered strong returns in certain cases, with some sealed booster boxes delivering 20 to 700 percent annual growth over the past decade, while index funds delivered 3 to 7 percent annual returns.[2] However, the search results don’t provide direct performance comparisons between Pokemon cards and small cap stocks specifically, nor do they offer long-term historical data that would allow for a rigorous comparison.
The results do indicate that the trading card market was valued at 44 billion dollars in 2023 and is projected to reach 98 billion dollars by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 8.2 percent,[1] but this is market size data rather than investment performance data.
If you have a specific question about Pokemon card investment performance or how it compares to other asset classes based on available data, I’d be happy to help answer that directly.
