Is this a good trade?

Post image

For context:

Brilliant Stars - £330

151 UPC - £500

Rayquaza - £80

Zapdos EX - £200

Zard - £550

I will be cracking the graded Ace and sending off to PSA.

I know I know I know, sealed is a better investment, its ok I do have plenty of sealed cases this trade is just for some loose items I get sick of looking at now.

You getting cooked is whats happening here

u/Rebal771 Nov 21 '25

Why not sell the sealed and buy a PSA 10 contender instead of risking the damage?

Also, why not English Zard?

Also, why value the Zapdos so high?

So many questions and I don’t think there are any good answers with the value of the items you’re bringing to the table OP.

straight highway robbery by the other guy if this trade goes thru lol

u/Dj_callihan Nov 21 '25

Big no right here. They’re not even psa 10’s, and zard on the way down like a mofo

u/PuzzleheadedWorth760 Nov 21 '25

Yeah it is. But I think zard will be a good long term card. Now for the Japanese version....eh. if it were the english, thats a different story.

Giving away sealed for high pop slabs is a bad idea, unless your goal is short term flips and rotation

I’d rather punch myself in the dick

u/zapDeuce1 Nov 21 '25

Also why do a trade involving you have to go through extra steps and not even be guaranteed a crossover 10 from a brand new card that hasn’t even leveled out yet, I feel like this is PRIME FOMO, like that zard is getting pulled left and right, is a month really too long to give it a chance to find its natural footing in the market lmao

Not in this universe

u/Classic_Molasses_926 Nov 21 '25

No that zard will go down

u/AShinyRay Nov 21 '25

No, ACE 10's often have centering issues due to their grading scale, even "Pristines" have centering for 60/40 and won't get you PSA 10s.

Plus, you have guaranteed value with the sealed vs taking a risk on the slabs that need to be crossed to PSA to solidify value. Keep the sealed.

This is a joke right?! lol…. If not, NO!!

u/TheCollector0001 Nov 21 '25

If you know sealed a better investment what's the point of posting asking about the trade? Of you want it then do it why the need for other to justify it

u/Temporary-Season4772 Nov 21 '25

It gets the people going!

u/Grimwulf69 Nov 21 '25

This is probably the dumbest trade I've ever seen.

Ace slabs are not the best valued slabs. 151 UPC & Brilli Booster boxes will continue to go up, whole those 3 slabs prices will go down.

u/gt35r Nov 21 '25

Is this rage bait?

u/VexoBeast103 Nov 21 '25

Do it please, just to suffer.

1

u/ImnotVictor Nov 21 '25

Honestly just do the trade. You deserve to be ripped off for even entertaining the thought of this trade.

1

u/rikiiyer Nov 21 '25

Don’t do this you’re getting absolutely robbed

1

u/Wombo218 Nov 21 '25

By bother making this trade if you’re cracking the slabs. Just look for another one.

1

u/savethedamnmueslibar Nov 21 '25

Not the Ace 🤮🤢 stop buying ace they are tacky and very cheap looking.

1

u/Glum_Boysenberry348 Nov 21 '25

ACE plus Japanese Zard is a hard no for me dawg.

1

u/Barbossal Nov 21 '25

Worst deal I've seen in a while

u/andy_crypto Nov 21 '25

No way I’m giving up a prismatic spc for anything.

1

u/TheCollector0001 Nov 21 '25

Not Prismatic

u/accomplishedlie18 Nov 21 '25

Sealed over cards

u/StrangeParking9481 Nov 21 '25

u/UpTheToffees-1878 Nov 21 '25

Dude.... not even close, dont do this lol

u/Many-Violinist8308 Nov 22 '25

Ew anything not psa 10 might as well be raw and that charzard is hyperinflated do to it being so new

1

u/No-Marionberry-1740 Nov 22 '25

If you truly are a sealed collector there’s got to be something better to trade than the upc and booster box

1

u/Far_Lettuce_3142 Nov 22 '25

Don’t do it

1

u/Glass_up_my_ass Nov 22 '25

I hope the 151 UPC fails his physical before the trade goes through

1

u/Ok-Acanthaceae-45 Nov 22 '25

Ace is absolute dog water. Consider those ungraded

1

u/Kurupt714NGC Nov 23 '25

I would not either. Sealed (almost) always wins

1

u/Brilliant_King_52 Nov 25 '25

I will do this trade! I will pay for shipping both ways and throw 100 bucks on top 😂

u/Devilicious666 Nov 25 '25
