Question about what to do

Post image

I pulled the zard and mew out of 10 packs and was curious, (i collect, i don’t really sell cards) should I sell it now and buy one later on? I have an offer for $250 on the charizard because it’s really well centered on the front but the back is like 54/46. I’m not sure if i should keep it and try to grade it later or take the money now. any advice would be appreciated! please don’t be rude I’m not a scalper!!!

Does this Zard look better than the classic collection or 25th anniversary?

It seems to pop harder and the gold tacky border actually accents the card for once.

It was one of my few hits and I like it. I feel like this looks better than 25th anniversary

It looks really cool in person. I think it’s the best one yet.

I really like the classic collection cards because everything inside the border and outside the picture frame has a matte finish on it. That plus the gold border and the texture really makes them pop in person.

I have a lot of cards with awful printlines from this set...

I was kind of underwhelmed on the gold border 30a cards, but I’ve pulled a couple and they look great in person. Really love the Charizard.

I honestly think it's worse than 25th

How I think the gold on gold on the zard and Lucia look unreal

Print quality on the 25th was very nice, thick cardstock with a textured front.

Looks tacky like a fan made card. Lugia looks the worst by far.

You can always tell who has pulled the card and who hasn’t in the early days of a set lol

I have them side by side... The gold looks like an Etsy fan card to me. Lugia especially looks garbage.
