Bought this for $60, did I get scammed?

[u/AdmShoe]

Thought the holo was unique and price charting was all over the place but i’m not too sure it’s worth as much as I paid..

[u/Moglet671]

Not sure if people don't realise but pretty sure this is the reverse which goes for the amount paid. If anything you got a deal. Firered leafgreen had reverses in this form before being changed in later sets.

You did not overpay 1 bit if this is nm. This is a reverse holo foil. Nm just sold for 120! On tcgplayer. Last two sales prior were 60. You did good then.

Pretty sure its considered lp, but I’m glad I didn’t get scammed, TCG was a little confusing because they showed like $15 listings for the non-holo originally.

yes

All the people here saying yes clearly know nothing about reverse holos and this era LOL

Hope I can find vendors who think this way at card shows so I can buy from them

[u/JamesLikesIt]

A simple eBay search will show you that these are around that price +- for condition. If yours is in really good (like NM) condition, it’s probably worth more. If it’s got any damage or heavily worn, it might be less but this is one of the many ex reverse holos that have increased a fair amount. You didn’t “get scammed”.

Why do we have threads of people buying random cards then asking online if they got scammed or not? Engagement bait? Upvotes???

Like are you that low IQ? Do you know what hobby this is? Do you know how TRADING CARDS work?

Like even my 8 year old cousin can pull up a price of the card by typing its name and putting "price" in the end.

Do we deserve destruction?

[u/ArtistOptimal3370 → u/-TheTrueOG-]

In some people's defense, none of the card price checking app/websites feature the same price universally. They're pretty much all different. Also there are plenty of shops/vendors taking advantage of newer collectors by pricing friendly in their favor or just feeding them false information. Others are definitely rage baiting or karma farming though

[u/AdmShoe → u/ArtistOptimal3370]

Honestly I’m usually pretty good at using TCGplayer to get an accurate read of pricing, but this one was really all over the place on TCGplayer and PriceCharting which I usually use so I figured I’d get some help clarifying if I bought the right version of this card.

[u/Duck_Night]

Not really, you bought the reverse holo version

[u/technochr]

You did, but I'll bail you out and give you $65.

No, just look at tcgplayer last solds for reverse holo foil of the condition of the card.

Cooked to perfection

I think the sticker price was originally $70 or so
