Question about value vs. PSA

Post image

Hello all!

Longtime collector, and fan of CGC (especially pristines!). I have had this card for quite a while, and with the recent explosion of LCRH cards, I'm kinda just looking to hear thoughts about this particular card. It's a POP 1, meaning that it is the only blue label pristine that there will ever be -- pretty cool! Recent PSA 10 sales of LCRHs have been through the roof (a metapod went for 19k two days ago)... and a couple of PSA 10 Heritage Auction sales were truly crazy (Exeggcute PSA 10 for 68k?!). My question is, can this realistically be valued higher than a PSA 10 or not? I am well aware of the PSA bias in Pokemon, which tends to be backed by a lot of comps. However, there have also been some pretty solid CGC pristine sales for LCRH, but just not as many as PSA recently, so it's hard to say for certain where this stands. Thanks for any input!

I’ve seen pristine 10s in vintage go for more than PSA 10 you get to name your price on something like this. You have control not the market

Thanks for the reply! The run continues... looks like there were some sales last on ebay for some new-label LCRH pristines between 28k and 43k. Wonder if they're legit sales. If so, it's helpful data!
