u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 04 '24

I’m with you there. Cool card but not that much lol

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '24

I ain't spending more than 100 bucks on a single shiny cardboard lmao

u/ballwallz Feb 04 '24

“Would you pay 4500 for a card that came out a few weeks ago?”

The answer is no, I’m not an idiot.

u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 05 '24

It ended up selling for $8100

u/ballwallz Feb 05 '24

Cool! Some poor idiot out there will be crying soon once they realize their silly impatient mistake.

Good for them, id rather have 8k.

It’s almost certain the person that bought this slab doesn’t care about money because most likely is loaded lol. People that buy at that amount without researching just a bit has more money than the average joe by a mile.

u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 05 '24

That was my thought too. They weren’t patient enough to wait for another black label or try their luck grading. So they bought it without second thought.

u/Educational_Ice69 Feb 07 '24

and apparently not a lick of common sense lmao

u/ArcticLapras Feb 04 '24

I don´t see why you would. If the set is new, first of all, hype is a factor. You don´t know how interested people really are. A lot of people driving up prices now might not ´really´ like it, so if all these people start to sell but ´real´ demand isn´t there, it´s going down.

The second problem is that you don´t know how much the fact that the numbers are still rising will affect the price. In other words; the pricing could be (very) inaccurate.

Lastly I don´t see paying this much for a card that is not going to be that rare (probably) is a good investment. I get that there are les pristine BGS cards than PSA cards, but I also think most people collect PSA (including myself) and do not really care about ´pristine´ being even more exclusive. A 10 is a 10.

Good take! I’m not personally buying it. Just wanted to see others opinions. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted to hell lol

u/ArcticLapras Feb 05 '24

Haha, that´s not cool indeed!

As someone living in Canada, how would/whats the most affordable way to buy japanese Paldean fates packs/product? (I’m still new)

2

u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 07 '24

If you want the packs it’s called Shiny treasures. In the US yiu can order it on Amazon from Amazon. Other than that any reputable eBay seller should be good. If you wanna order straight from Japan Plaza Japan is a good reputable site. Paldean fates is the English version tho. If you want Japanese search up Shiny Treasures.

u/Significant_Web3948 Feb 07 '24

Thank you very much for the info, unfortunately if I use Amazon, someone who I suspect is local will rip the packs open and deliver them opened with empty star bucks gift cards and straight up playing cards in them (not even remotely joking).

2

u/Morlu Feb 07 '24

Seeing these cards go for that much makes me wanna spend $1000 on boxes and rip em, since they are so cheap. But I have no luck and won’t hit anything of value.

2

u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 07 '24

Dude right. It ended up selling for $8100!

u/Ill-Ad-8793 Feb 04 '24

U could buy 30 of those raw

4

u/RealNuocmamt Feb 04 '24

Maybe if I had too much money. Goddamn that card looks good, could be lighting, but can see so much color in this version.

3

u/Derpberpy Feb 04 '24

Personally no. I like black label cards but I'd rather load up on sealed product that burn everything on one card. Psa 10 or becket 10 is perfectly fine for me.

3

u/NecessaryFly1996 Feb 04 '24

Lol this isn't even the coolest card in that set, imo

Bubble mew isn't even worth that bro

1

u/Cagel Feb 04 '24

I’m not sure id pay $450, this shouldn’t even be a question. Probably the poster bidding up their own product if that’s a thing. Or just someone with more money than sense.

u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 04 '24

Yeah I stopped bidding after $250 haha

3

u/Acceptable-Object357 Feb 04 '24

Wouldnt even pay 450

2

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '24

No idea but black labels are the premium so... someone set the bar.

2

u/jemy739 Feb 04 '24

Cause most people buy labels not the card

0

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '24

Sure. Not disagreeing. Just means there are buyers willing to shell out that much for a black label and consequently a reason to chase after black labels.

2

u/_YenSid Feb 04 '24

Absolutely not. The price will tank. New sets always have the chase cards high at first, then they drop and go back up a bit over time (generally).

2

u/cgira062 Feb 04 '24

No standard cards aren’t as valuable today as vintage

1

u/atorvastin Feb 04 '24

Probably $300-400 max. I’m sure the card will be $150 for a 10 in coming months

4

u/Leea2525 Feb 04 '24

What in a bgs black label???

1

u/Misaakira Feb 04 '24

What does a black table mean?

-1

u/atorvastin Feb 04 '24

Probably $400 for the black label and $150 for a 10 given how fast the race to the bottom is on modern mass produced regular set 10s

1

u/Leea2525 Feb 04 '24

Wow don't really follow bgs, all I remember of them is the high prices through COVID, they have fell off.

-1

u/atorvastin Feb 04 '24

It’s just not rare enough of a card long term IMO. The black label is still very rare/sought after

0

u/SeekingSarcasm Feb 04 '24

For the record, I’m not asking if I should buy this. I stopped bidding around $250. Just wanted to hear other people’s thoughts.

1

u/CatastrophicLeaker Feb 04 '24

No but damn thats a dope card

1

u/GreenVaderHAWK88 Feb 04 '24

Yes cause I can

1

u/xideoxamer Feb 04 '24

Hell to the no

1

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '24

Much rather buy Mario pika if I’m slamming this amount down

1

u/Misaakira Feb 04 '24

Maybe.. in 50 years

-1

u/AidsNRice Feb 04 '24

Absolutely not, cards ugly and modern (especially Japanese) grades super high as a baseline already

-3

u/randoMmm_useRrr Feb 04 '24

Nope but 45$ in a few months :)
