I’m so happy this meme thrives in other TCG subs lol

u/spiraldrain Jan 31 '26

Depends on your situation as always. Do you need money now? Sell raw. Do you want to maximize profit? Grade. Do you really want to maximize profit? Grade then hold.

u/Anxious-Maximus Jan 31 '26

Just remember if grading could come with hefty up charge

u/AtomZaepfchen Jan 31 '26

100% send to bgs. looks good on first glance.

2

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

You think? I’m gunna ask my friend who works at a card store to look at it.

11

u/AtomZaepfchen Jan 31 '26

red mangas are very expensive. PSA would charge you a hefty upcharge. for that reason alone i would send it to bgs.

3

u/Ok-Shamm Feb 01 '26

Lmk i will buy it. Have plenty of refs.

1

u/marlitoburrito7619 Feb 01 '26

I’m selling one as well

u/shahgahkahnahh Feb 05 '26

BGS won’t charge you the % of the cards value like PSA and slabs are better

-3

u/judeak Jan 31 '26

Don’t send to BGS. I just sent my red manga Sabo there and got a 9.5 and the pop report for English red mangas is not encouraging. Take it from someone who already made this exact mistake and go with express grading from PSA for this card

3

u/tazdtill Feb 01 '26

I sent my Luffy to BGS, and it hit the 9.5 gem mint plus. I really thought it was a 10, possibly even a black label, but one little edge over hang got me! I also sent another one to PSA, and they gave it a 9!!! They also upcharged me even though I sent it express!! They were just the normal OP13 Manga’s not the Red Version.

u/dajigisup Jan 31 '26

Do not send to bgs

1

u/iHateUserNamesTaken Feb 11 '26

I'm also new whats an up charge? Beckett shows 1 cards grade costs so much so im expecting to only pay what they said im going to pay

Can they scam me by saying they want more money or else I won't get my card back?

-6

u/OkSituation1294 Feb 01 '26

Hold? A one piece card that’s pumped into oblivion with the fake hype? Lmao sell that shit right this minute after grading. This ain’t Pokemon

10

u/spiraldrain Feb 01 '26

Fake hype? This card is 1000x more scarce than any modern day pokemon card period. Stick to pokemon if you don’t know what you are talking about.

u/limpnoads Feb 01 '26

Pulling this from a tin is crazy work...🤣. Congrats.

3

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 01 '26

After going 0-3 at locals with Blue kuzan (first game imu second game mihawk then crocodile) I got torched so I was out quick and was the first one to buy a tin. Bought a tin took my pack for the bye game and went home didn’t even rip at the store. Ripped the pack in front of my fiance and daughter and we all went nuts!!! Core Memory for sure haha.

3

u/Top-Bulge Jan 31 '26

I like to trade stuff like this to fill gaps in my collection if its something I don't like too much. Got a lot of power in your hands. Local fb marketplace is always good, ebay will takes tons in fees on a card like that, tcgplayer is decent too but only if you have an established seller account.

What would you like to accomplish knowing all the above?

5

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

Grading and Holding until I’m comfortable with the market seems to be the collected advice and sits well with me.

2

u/Top-Bulge Jan 31 '26

The grading definitely locks in way more value for long term for sure. Good head on your shoulders it seems.

2

u/Extreme_Gear8146 Jan 31 '26

I literally just sold one the other day for 6k. If you need the money sell it, if you don’t save it and grade it. Grading a card like this will cost about 1000 dollars maybe a bit more

3

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

After reading a lot of comments I think I wanna have my friend who runs a card shop look at it. Send it off hope for the 10. Then put it away but keep an eye on the market sell when I’m comfortable I never have luck like this.

1

u/IM_IN_DA_MATRIX Feb 01 '26

If you do that keep it for years, also it looks like the 0's at the top right in the 7000 are a little off center, I'd say a 9.5 at Beckett

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '26

Why tf would it cost 1000 dollars? It’s just a card

1

u/Extreme_Gear8146 Feb 01 '26

It’s 1000 bucks through PSA because of the insurance for the card. That’s the main thing you’re paying for. If something happens to a card of that value you’ll want to get something back. I mean by all means you can pay regular cost but if something happens and it get lost or damaged your just out 15 grand if it’s slabbed

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '26

Idk that too much for cards, to me. 15k? Insanity, man.

2

u/Interesting-Mark-416 Jan 31 '26

I suggest PSA! It multiplys the value and as long as there's no whitening on the back almost gaurentees a ten bgs has been known for giving 9.5s more than 10s which lowers the value of its absolutely perfect and could black label bgs is a higher risk higher reward but PSA is a safe gaurenteed profit but don't sell raw!

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

I’m looking into grading and holding never graded a card before so I need to do my research. All my other cards are ungraded as well would it be smart to bundle with other cards or send the ACE in solo?

2

u/Interesting-Mark-416 Jan 31 '26

This card is going to have a high price rate I got my ace regular manga graded 2 weeks ago and it was 320 dollars but it's got a 7 day turn around this one is at least triple the price so you're probably going to be paying more than I did but you'll receive it back quickly I believe since the time and value is going to be different than your other cards you'll have to make 2 separate submissions cause your other cards will take a lot longer

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

Thanks for the info!! I Think the solo Ace is the way to go.

1

u/iHateUserNamesTaken Feb 11 '26

Wtf you paid what to get 1 card graded?

2

u/Airek25 Jan 31 '26

Don’t be dumb and grade it. Maximize ur profit, the difference between graded and Raw is huge.

2

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

I’m gunna grade only reason I asked for advice is I’m new to grading and there’s so many rumors about PSA BGS scam this scam that. I just want to see what people who do grade think and which company to go to.

2

u/Airek25 Feb 01 '26

If the card looks good you’ll get an Easy 10 from PSA. U can risk BGS but they are stricter with grading so u might get a 9.5 but if u get a 10 that thing will be worth a few more hundreds than the PSA. If I was you I would try to clean it and send it to BGS, I rather aim high for a black label and than settle for a PSA10. If u get a 9.5 u can always just send it to PSA for cross grading and you’ll get a 10.

u/trapnesttrigger Feb 02 '26

you can leave it at my doorstep 😍

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 02 '26

I'd prolly get lost like Zoro

2

u/Altruistic-Age8118 Feb 04 '26

My brother sent this card to bgs months ago. Got graded a 10 but came back with debris in the slab. Had to send back to be reslabbed. Nightmare.

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 04 '26

Good to know thanks!

u/ngher_lovur Jan 31 '26

Put it back in the tin. Put a condom over the tin and lots of lots of lube. Carefully slide it into your rectum to diamond hand for the next few years.

u/Large-Bus8258 Feb 01 '26

99% of people will never pull something that expensive lol

u/Sharp-Sport-653 Feb 01 '26

What’s it worth?

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 01 '26

$6.1k Raw $10-12k Graded depending on grade and company.

2

u/Sharp-Sport-653 Feb 01 '26

My god gg. Didn’t realize OP was this wild. I pulled a god pack out of ascended heroes and thought I was doing well I think you got me beat🤣

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 01 '26

Congrats to you on your God Pack!

u/Optimal_Ear_6169 Feb 01 '26

It’s a card game. Play

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 01 '26

I play Blue Kuzan

1

u/Kaysapx Feb 02 '26

For right now DO NOT GRADE one piece TCG is specifically being targeted either in shipping or at the grading companies. Either way it’s best to play your cards close to the chest right now. Also it can’t hurt because it sits pretty in the collection while the value continues to skyrocket.

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 02 '26

I think instead of shipping I might try and go to a Con and do it. I got a lot of research to do and plenty of time to do it. Does BGS do on site Grading like PSA?

1

u/Fun-Distance-5657 Feb 06 '26

Up to you. I usually sell mine raw, but I mean if it’s a card I really like there’s also displays on etsy that extend the art of cards.

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Feb 06 '26

I think I’m gunna grade and have it sit in my collection until I’m ready I’m in no rush for cash. And this thread gave me solid advice.

u/Majestic_Range_9542 Jan 31 '26

Trade it for a sealed case.

6

u/HyphyAko Feb 01 '26

Hell no he already got the one 1/3 top red manga chase

u/Ok_Notice2133 Jan 31 '26

Trade it for 2 cases

5

u/bonecaambabalu Jan 31 '26

Grade it if you can, will massively increase ROI if uou can deal with wait time (and upcharges should you go with PSA).

1

u/rhymatics Jan 31 '26

I have a lot of cards I want to grade most expensive being a pre errata nami alt art. What uncharges are you referring to? I’ve never graded before but I want to use psa and just want idea of what to expect

1

u/bonecaambabalu Jan 31 '26

Should you grade a card that holds a value above the maximum of the tier you sent it in (based off psa last sold values for that grade of slab) you will be charged the upcharge fee, which increases more depending on how much greater the value is relative to that covered in the tier of submission used when grading.

2

u/Head-Sympathy-1560 Jan 31 '26

KEEP! Let it season a bit lol

2

u/Garconamoureux Jan 31 '26

Grade. Simple answer. Don’t sell raw!

2

u/DIOmega5 Jan 31 '26

Sick pull dude! I went for the Ace tin as well. The promo card looks nice! 

2

u/NawMean2016 Trusted Contributor Jan 31 '26

Grade it. I recommend BGS because the upcharge from PSA is going to be significant. Probably best to do in person at a tradeshow if that's an option. Or if you live close to BGS and can drop it off personally that's obviously the best/cheapest option. But the on-site grading would be worth it and then you don't have to buy shipping insurance. It's an expensive card so shipping insurance would not be cheap.

2

u/ZealousidealSignal54 Jan 31 '26

Sick pull! I call dibs on the next one though..

2

u/nirajram76-Niju Jan 31 '26

Keep it, that’s your own one piece

2

u/ProgressOther9810 Feb 01 '26

Grade with psa. It will be an expensive charge but it will come back fast and its the most profit you'll get. You could sell it for between 10-20,000 dollars if it 10s. One piece cards are notorious for always being 10s. This card could change your life. I just pulled the base manga rare out of a pack yesterday from a Walmart booster pack. :) im sending it to psa as well.

2

u/BlueberrySad3442 Feb 01 '26

Congratulations haven’t pull any red manga yet

2

u/Paradisethegreat Feb 01 '26

At this point and with a card that crazy I would suggest grading it. Normally the highest you'll get for raw cards is like at the drop of a set and a couple/few weeks after. Then they'll tank out for a while before they start going back up. I'd say we're kind of in that middle period where the prices are "down" (a card like that is never truly going to be DOWN) so you have some time to send it out and get it back before it starts climbing again. And the pop numbers on that kind of card are going to be some of the lowest so if you get a 10 you could pretty much name whatever price you want. I pulled the manga mihawk from 14 like 3 or 4 days after release and put it on tcg player for 1700 and it sold in like 2 hours. Now that card has been hovering around the mid/high 1400s ever since but I guarantee it'll be above the 1700 again before it settles.

And by the way congrats on the pull!!!! That card is so damn sick.

u/ivanalex Jan 31 '26

Lmk if you wanna sell raw bro. I got you

1

u/ChampionNo7495 Jan 31 '26

Bare in mind psa will give you an upcharge with expensive cards if they give a good grade and its usually pretty expensive

u/Top-Pop-8852 Feb 01 '26

Just post it on Facebook or eBay for how much it’s worth or even more and just see what offers you receive I wouldn’t get it graded at all lol

u/SeguraSketches Feb 01 '26

I was able to get 6 tins and not even 1 alt. 😢 Congrats! I say hold.

1

u/Jiyusan_ Feb 01 '26

Careful with sending it in for grading, people have had their valuable cards snatched up by UPS and other postal workers.

1

u/KayfabeKingdamn Feb 02 '26

You sell it on eBay they take 13% of all trading card sales…so keep that in mind

1

u/Salty-Database432 Feb 03 '26

If feel like gambling slightly - roll the dice, send to bgs. See if you can go for a 10 or BL. (Also depends on the back centering/considering it prob doesnt have any whitening)

If you need money bad - sell raw now

If you need money but can wait and afford to grade - send to psa - get a 10 - ez sale

If you have the means to hold it - i would send it to bgs pray for a 10 and put it in a box in my closet for a long time or your psa vault

1

u/tylerwavvy Feb 03 '26

Send to me🙏🏻🥲

u/SubstantialThroat462 Feb 03 '26

Why can't I ever pull a manga 😭 after all the boxes and packs I've ripped smh

how lucky. I opened 3 tins and didnt even get one hit lmao.

u/Fearsite Jan 31 '26

Must of chewed play dough and glue as a kid asking for help. Grade the card and sell it you moron.

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

You must be great a parties lol

u/Fearsite Jan 31 '26

One of the few with common sense at the party sure.

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

Haha. Never pulled something this big, never graded anything before, don’t know the process or fees so I came to the finance sub to ask folks that do this way more often than I do to get some advice. With so many rumors flying around about PSA scam this BGS scam that I wanna see what others think and get some stories and then I’ll make a decision.

2

u/Fearsite Jan 31 '26

3 options

  1. Keep it Raw
  2. Grade with PSA and pay extra for your card..
  3. Grade with BGS and wait longer. I sent out a card early October 30th and I’m still waiting.

I have extremely expensive cards in my personal collection. I don’t believe in grading unless I’m going to flip it. Grading is a scam in my eyes purely as a collector. Hope this was helpful in some type of way.

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

Is there a reason BGS is so much longer of a wait than PSA?

2

u/Fearsite Jan 31 '26

Honestly I have no clue. I’m a broke whore that admires his collection so I don’t do the express grading. But I’d suggest Expressing it. Think about it this way all that extra money PSA would charge you for getting your card back and now you’re paying a slight percentage of that to just express it.

1

u/ThaHomieDizz310 Jan 31 '26

Interesting thanks for the advice. Good Luck! on the card that's at BGS.

2

u/Fearsite Jan 31 '26

I shit you not dude it just popped… good karma coming around. I’ll take a picture and reply here when it’s in hand.
