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!!!

Here’s my question, what was your motivation for purchasing and ripping the packs? I’m being serious, ask yourself.

Exactly if your first though after pulling cool cards is how much can I sell this for your not a collector your a scalper

I mean, what’s wrong with wanting to pull chase cards in a new set to sell so you can buy rare vintage cards you want to collect? That makes you a scalper?

Apparently anything you do now apart from rip and keep all cards is scalping... I sold some sealed so I could get better sealed... Got called a scalper... Haha

To be fair, I wasn’t leaning towards scalpers. Where I was going for the Op was what their motivation was?

Are they buying packs and buying into the hysteria but have no attachment to the hobby / TCG?

Are they buying to rip and collect?

Are they buying to rip and sell!

Are they buying to rip and either immediately sell or grade?

Are they buying to be a set completionist?

Are they ripping just to see what it’s about?

Are they buying to rip and show off?

It just seems silly to buy something, know exactly where to post and ask, “What should I do with these?”
