what's up guys i'm coming at you live from the editing room it's the same room as my recording
room but we're just gonna ignore that it sounds cooler that way okay but i just had to come in
here real quick and let you guys know that my original plan for this video was i was gonna do
my long-term holds and i was gonna throw in at the end as a bonus wanted to surprise you guys but i
i blew it but at the end i was gonna throw in a bonus of sets that i'm holding long term but as
i started editing it putting together i realized that that'd be a very very long video and i think
it'd make more sense to break that up into two so i gotta say this right now but these collectibles
in this video they are collectibles i'm holding long term on their own standalone so if it seems
like i'm missing a lot of big time blue chip collectibles it's very possible that they're
in the next video that i'll be putting out which is my long-term sets so for example the golden
moments on their own each individual collectible in that whole collection is a long-term hold for
me on its own but since i hold the entire set they all got left out of this video and
they'll be in the next video where i cover sets exclusively with all that out of the way sit back
relax grab a drink grab a snack go ahead and just enjoy the video there are just some collectibles
on the veve app that i will never sell either i will never sell them or i'm not even thinking
about selling them for five plus years so here are 10 collectibles that i am holding long term
the main calculation or the main factor that goes into how i decided these was the value the rarity
and the long-term potential but mixed in there are a few collectibles so there are a few reasons that
i won't sell for sentimental personal reasons so just keep that in mind and i'll be explaining my
reasoning for all of them i think it's kind of fun to make your collection you know a bit personal
i just think that having a few collectibles that might not be the most valuable or that you might
not think will be the best long term having them because they're special to you i think is what
makes collecting so fun and so special and makes it a more fun experience than just trading crypto
on a computer screen this really brings it to life and really brings together the community so let's
get straight into the list we'll be starting from common all the way up to secret rare so starting
off with the commons coming in with my first long-term hold is wonder woman before wonder woman
came out on the veve app if you would have asked me if this would be a long-term hold i would have
said no and actually on the day of the drop after the market opened up my girlfriend suggested that
we sell what we got for the drop and put it toward buying wonder woman because even though she's a
common she is by far the most popular character out of this group and so i followed her lead and
that one really paid off i was able to purchase my wonder woman after the drop for just 194 gems and
since then that investment has gone up over 1 000 gems and that is because i am not the only person
who learned how popular she really is next up on the list we're still in the commons and we got
first appearance joker so that's number two and then just for time's sake for simplicity's sake
i'm gonna toss in number three which is first appearance harley quinn i'm gonna lump these two
together because they are very similar so they're both commons they're both from very early sets
in veve in general and also the batman black and white series and they are also extremely popular
characters who have been popular but really got a big boost in popularity over the last few years or
so because they have had box office hits and these movies have really put these characters into the
spotlight so for that reason even though these have seen a big uptick along with every other
bb collectible i still think that for the first appearance of these massive characters they are
still extremely undervalued and that's part of the reason why it's a long-term hold for me is because
i don't think the value of these is anywhere near where it should be number two and three
joker and harley quinn let's move on to number four and believe it or not
we are still in the comments section and there's actually one more comment after this so
just because they had the lowest rarity on them does not mean that they are worthless
i know you guys already know that but but this really illustrates how valuable commons can be
and just because something is scarce doesn't mean it's inherently valuable but anyway got a little
bit sidetracked there next up for number four on my long-term holds we got steamboat willie
so although there is no tag on this collectible such as a first edition like some of us would have
liked the scene for the first edition of steamboat willy collectibles although there's no tag do not
sleep on this collectible it is still insanely valuable it's still the first time that we have
seen steamboat willy in nft form and mickey mouse is just by far and away one of the most famous and
recognizable fictional characters of all time and having the chance to own a first of any kind of
mickey mouse digital collectible will go so far in my opinion and so as disney continues to release
more and more nfts i think that will really see the best of the best the first of the first start
to stand out more and more and that's exactly what i envisioned happening for steamboat willie coming
in at number five and to round out the commons of this list is number 100 todd mcfarlane batman
the og of all og's the first of all first you cannot go wrong with todd batman and out of all
the collectibles that i'm holding long term this is definitely toward the top if not at the top
of ones that i will not sell anytime soon if ever there will be a time when holding a todd mcfarlane
batman is literally impossible i could definitely see all 7 000 people at a certain point in time
that just don't want to sell it got through enough hands they got to enough people where
the people who now hold them they are perfectly content owning their piece of veve and nft history
so i am definitely not going to squander my chance to be holding a todd mcfarlane batman
in my wallet because if i were to sell it i don't think i'm gonna get it back i'm just being real
and it just really is a great symbol for how early that we are in veve and that i just had the chance
to pick it up i actually got i have two and i got them both for under 500 and we will never
ever ever see any price anywhere remotely close to that so i'm keeping that in mind and i only see
it going up from here if you guys are enjoying the content i would really appreciate just a second to
click like leave a comment hit subscribe anything really helps the algorithm and pushes this video
to more people in the veve any comic community so if you're enjoying it and think other people would
too maybe you could help your boy out a little bit alright so we're finished with commons we got
one uncommon and then we're making a jump straight into ultra rare and secret rare so for the first
and only uncommon on this list of my long-term holds coming in at number six is first appearance
superman so this collectible really speaks for itself just in its looks alone i mean this is
one of the most epic looking collectibles one of the cleanest most crisp looking collectibles
and it is the first appearance of one of the most famous comic book superheroes of all time like not
even close everyone knows superman and i really believe that the hype of new ip coming in and
bigger ips such as marvel and disney have really overshadowed the dc collectibles and i don't think
that they're getting the love or the recognition that they deserve and although superman has shot
up in price recently when you compare to other prime time blue chip first appearance collectibles
this one is way way way below the herd granted it does have a bit more additions than you'd normally
expect that might be why it's slightly lower but when we have millions and millions and tens
of millions of users on the app the difference between a few thousand collectibles is not gonna
matter it's gonna be a wash in the long run so i will not be selling the first appearance of one of
the most famous superheroes of all time anytime soon that would be sitting pretty sitting tight
all nice warm and cozy in my vault for years to come alright guys now it's time for the big jump
in rarities now it's time for the big dogs it's time for the ultra rares and the secret rares so
next up on my long-term holds is first appearance marvel mighty doctor doom now this one might be a
bit unexpected it's probably the least bona fide of the uh long-term holds or the blue chip so to
speak on this list but for this one i'm using a bit more speculation and a bit more foresight
and that's because there have been rumors that dr doom is gonna have a very prominent role in the
marvel cinematic universe and maybe a thanos type villain so if that does come to fruition then this
collectible will be a lot more popular and will be a lot harder to get your hands on when it comes
to that point but not only that i recently learned that fantastic four number five which is the first
appearance of dr doom is one of the most popular valuable collectibles in real life and when i
look at comics and crypto's comic book rankings which i always use as a gauge i highly recommend
them as a source for just veve and comic book knowledge in general but when i look at that list
it is always toward the top and i didn't realize how massive dr doom is and if he only continues
to get more massive and as fantastic 4 and doctor doom get more introduced into the marvel cinematic
universe then this collectible could be insanely undervalued today which is why i'm riding this
one out it's a long-term hold i'm going to see how it goes and if my speculation does pay off in some
way next up we got first appearance carmine infantino robin now if you've been around on
this channel for a while first of all thank you very much for your continued and early support
but if you've been around for a while you may have seen episode one of funny's favorites where
i cover collectibles that i think will be valuable for the long term but also have sentimental
personal value to me but episode one of that series and currently the only episode that is out
i'm working on more covered this collectible right here first appearance carmine infantino
robin and the great things about this collectible is that it is extremely rare only 1750 editions
first appearance of a very popular character and something else that i think people don't really
put into calculation long term it might not be a big deal but it's something small to consider
especially in this case is that i feel like the hardcore collectors and when the vaults get more
active and when the ar pictures get going more i think that it's gonna be a big deal to have first
appearance batman and first appearance robin side by side we've got the superhero and the sidekick
in action and we just keep chugging along we are at number nine on this list and the last
ultra rare and what this collectible might be for long-term holds is first appearance ultra rare
spider-man now i really really wish that i was saying secret rare instead of ultra rare before
that word but ultra rare is what i have and if you guys have seen the price differential between the
two you would see why i feel that way but this is about my long-term holds and i don't hold secret
spider-man unfortunately but i do hold the ultra rare and this is a long-term hold for me because
it's the closest that i can get to the secret rare and also just on its own it's the first ever
marvel set the first ever spider-man collectible and those two things alone are really all you need
for your perfect blue chip long-term hold the only way i'm selling this collectible is if it's to
flip up to try to get the secret rarest maybe i'll sell this and a few other things and combine the
money and put it to a secret rare but this is the best i have for now and if it's the best that i
can ever have if secret rare spider-man is always unattainable for me then i'll be happy very happy
with still holding this because it's the next best thing so now we are on to number 10. so the first
and only secret rare collectible on this list is first appearance secret rare storm now there are a
few reasons why she is a long-term hold for me the first reason is that she is the first ever x-men
collectible if you go to the market if you go to brands and then click on x-men she is the only
thing that pops up and i think that as more and more of her x-men buddies continue to get added
into the veve ecosystem and they can be placed together and it just forms more of a coherent
x-men team i think that the first one will stand out more and will have more value but
not only just having the first i think eventually holding at least one or maybe you know the set of
every single x-men could be a very very valuable thing to be holding and also a very prestigious
achievement for hardcore collectors but the other reason is that i've heard speculation that she
is going to be in the next black panther movie and she may have a pretty prominent role in the
marvel cinematic universe so if that is true then that is just icing on the cake that makes this
collectible even better to hold long term as more movies more shows and she just gets more spotlight
in media and i forgot to mention this when i was talking about doctor doom but i'll just throw it
in now because it applies to both dr doom and storm but i feel like both the fantastic four
and the x-men have really gotten no kind of love from marvel it's really been the avengers
and now the eternals and then there have been you know avengers have gotten their own shows
and that kind of thing so i think now well i know they're now shifting some attention to fantastic
four and x-men so as they start to really flesh out these characters flesh out these stories
bring them back to life and bring them into the public spotlight and get people excited
about it then i think that's when we'll really start to see the value of these
just rise and rise and rise because i'mma be real i haven't watched anything fantastic four or x-men
since i was a little kid now i'm not super into superheroes or comic books so i'm sure some of you
have but there just isn't really popular prominent things to watch from those groups currently but
that's all going to change which is what makes this a long-term hold for me so there's all 10 10
long-term holds for me that i will not be selling either ever or for at least three four five
ten plus years let me know what you're holding long term down in the comments below and
i'll leave it at that guys as always this has been nft flenny i'll catch you guys next time
