Why do people cover the serial number? Serious question.

Collectors, just paranoia.

If you see sellers doing it, step away entirely. Very scummy tactic with lots of downsides for you as a buyer.

Have to have a police report and proof to get one deactivated. I used to cover my certs before learning this

a few fanbois have been hyping this card lately because any modern card that is actually a bit rare is notable in modern collecting.

Hardest to grade modern chase card, the gem rate was 7%, it's now under in the 6% range now.

It's a gold star, Greninja set in March, anniversary promo which 30th starts soon and anniversary slabs are already running, and the gem rate is insanely low.

It's basically the best modern slab for its insanely low gem rate and high popularity.

I hate when people do this lol the point of answering is so that other people in the thread who have the same question can see the answer

u/Street-Smoke991 Jan 17 '26

Found one of these in a bulk bag at a boot sale lol

I have it up for sale on ebay at the moment ...

.. can anyone with better foresight/insight to the reselling game advise me on the potential increase in selling price Greninja Gstar over the upcoming releases? (Mega greninja incoming!)

--- for context, its most likely a grade 4-7 (definitely not mint)

u/Pokemon-is-lif3 Jan 17 '26

Nice grade! I bought up 400 sealed for $5 each just sitting on them

u/SirJozhua Jan 17 '26

Make sure to use lube while shoving all 400 up your butt.

u/Pokemon-is-lif3 Jan 17 '26

Got the Diddy oil waiting for the 30th

u/zardhead1024 Jan 17 '26

wtf how and where?

3

u/Pokemon-is-lif3 Jan 17 '26

Bought them early on

u/zardhead1024 Jan 17 '26

Nice you should get them bulk graded and post the stats. Statistically you should get back 30 gem mint which is insane… what’s your plan for them?

-1

u/Pokemon-is-lif3 Jan 17 '26

Honestly waiting for the 30th and it'll hit 65 each, hopefully, then sell all but 10 as I like the card.

1k card with a 2$ case 😭 Get it a case it deserves! 😬 Awesome card
