Sealed Wax Investment Vault

The Sealed Wax Investment Vault tracks your sealed product investments — hobby boxes, blasters, ETBs, mega boxes, and more. Add products you own with your purchase price, and we calculate estimated market appreciation, rip-or-hold signals, and portfolio ROI. We track 58 products across baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and Pokemon.

Appreciation is estimated using a model that considers product age, type (hobby boxes appreciate faster than retail), sport (Pokemon sealed typically carries the highest premium), and original retail price. Older products and hobby-tier boxes generally show stronger appreciation. These are estimates — actual market values vary by condition, demand, and availability.

The rip-or-hold signal compares the expected value (EV) of opening the product to its estimated sealed market value. HOLD means the sealed premium is strong — you get more value keeping it sealed. RIP IT means opening the product offers better expected value than selling it sealed. NEUTRAL means the values are close and it depends on your preference.

Hobby boxes typically contain guaranteed hits (autographs, relics, numbered parallels) and more packs per box, making them more desirable to collectors and investors. They are also produced in smaller quantities than retail products like blasters and hangers, creating scarcity. Once a product goes out of print, hobby boxes tend to command significantly higher premiums.
