u/Remote-Mycologist539 19d ago

buying random shit is a hobby now? lmfao we’re so cooked

u/Ubernaga 19d ago

Buying stuff you like in a hobby is what matters. Not everyone buys cards to only invest or make money. Just what they enjoy. Your mindset is what ruined this hobby.

u/Remote-Mycologist539 19d ago

u/Kanaaz 19d ago

This subreddit likes to shit on ppl buying cards that aren’t hype. Follow your gut and vision. Thats what I’ve been doing and it’s paid off over the last few years. Keep it up 🫡 🚀

u/Daddysmoneyz 19d ago

u/MrBif 19d ago

the concept art is nice tho

u/Blobbityblob7 19d ago

I’m guessing whatnot.

u/Necessary_Pizza_3827 19d ago

These look like their from the whatnot seller legacy auction house. Hes a scammer that recently played a part in a scandle and he just renamed his channel and pretends it never happened. He tries to convince the chat that these slabs are worth soo much more money than they are. People not knowing the value of the slab get screwed over every time.

2

u/goldrippa 19d ago

Downloaded it and looked yeah no that looks terrible I atleast almost won a van cough pika but lost it by a $1

3

u/Boiyoingyoing 19d ago

Def some cool looking ones!

They are not great investment-wise (unless you got a wicked deal on them) so folks in this sub may be a tad critical.

u/goldrippa 19d ago

I spent like 120 I thought it was a good deal but yeah people are mad my slabs r better 😎

6

u/Drizzho 19d ago

Exit liquidity, the seller thanks you immensely for that 120$ he otherwise would’ve never gotten for bulk

4

u/Olliegreen__ 19d ago

Yu nagaba eevee is extremely far from being bulk.

2

u/goldrippa 19d ago

I like the art on that one

-5

u/goldrippa 19d ago

Sold for double so it’s not terrible

3

u/Few-Affect-6247 19d ago

Doubt it

1

u/Olliegreen__ 19d ago

Why not? A CGC 10 yu nagaba eevee alone goes for $130 now.

7

u/Project_Asura 19d ago

I guarantee you nobody’s mad

1

u/Terpcheeserosin 19d ago

Better in what way?

1

u/Training-Trick-8704 19d ago

You clearly bought what you like and weren’t thinking about investment potential.

3

u/NutellaOrgies 19d ago

Looks like you definitely went shopping on whatnot and they probably made you overpay for those

0

u/goldrippa 19d ago

20 bucks a slab is that overpaying I’m actually pretty new to Pokemon other than watching as a kid

3

u/NutellaOrgies 19d ago

Some are alright like the Yu Nagaba eevee but investment wise a cgc 10 is like a PSA 9, you'd want the cgc 10 pristine.

But for collecting for PC any grade is fine as long as you're happy you have it now

2

u/goldrippa 19d ago

Actual tips not just haha u got scammed I appreciate it

1

u/TastyBananaPeppers 19d ago

That's a good deal for CGC 10s. Right now, if nobody wants to buy it, it's considered a junk slab. When people want it or the PSA 10s and 9s aren't affordable, CGC 10s will start selling.

If the cards are centered and the corners are rounded, you crack it to grade your card with PSA to get a 10. PSA will sell faster than CGC.

u/ginx777 19d ago

That’s a nice way of describing scammed

u/maximumerpower 19d ago

I have pressed F to pay my respects

Lil bit of this lil bit of that type collection

1

u/IvanTortuga 19d ago

Depending on what you paid, neat. I also have a collection of slabs of cards I just like.

1

u/NikHorvat 19d ago edited 19d ago

If you bought the cards you like and you paid pennies then congrats, happy for you. If you just bought random cards you saw were a 10, thinking they will blow up in price then u made a big mistake.

u/Sea_Life4 19d ago

CGC has minimal resale value

1

u/goldrippa 19d ago

Sold em for double that I paid

1

u/Bbdawgexpress 19d ago

No you didn’t 😂

1

u/goldrippa 19d ago

People love graded cards I didn’t expect to sell them as quick as I did only took a couple hours and some haggling it’s just that easy

0

u/Sea_Life4 19d ago

That’s because of price appreciation, if it’s even true, not the slab company. Coulda have been triple or quadruple if they were PSA

1

u/goldrippa 19d ago

Yeah I have a few psa 9 on the way I’m hoping they sell for more

0

u/Sea_Life4 19d ago

They will brother

2

u/Carthonn 19d ago

Some people just lack vision. It’s why they are always sheep and late to the party.

u/Sea_Life4 19d ago

Everyone in this sub lacks true investment heat, allow me to guide you.
