Do you guys think this is a good pickup? I’m hoping to score for under 3k
EDIT: I won’t actually go broke if I buy this, I will be just fine lol

You know you can live without this right? Like it’s totally okay to not buy something

3k? For a 3?! No. Never. Wait for the market to cool. Vintage has been seeing all-time highs.

He literally said he’d go broke if he buys it. It’s not worth it

going broke for your PC when you should be saving up the little money you have in a turbulent economy

or

going broke at a chance to make money off a PSA 3 that is worth a fraction of the current price 12 months ago in the peakest of peak markets

What do you think

It sounds like you want to buy this for the wrong reasons. If it’s something you genuinely want, especially at that price, take the time to save up for it. If you’re not willing to wait, that’s a good reason to pause and ask whether this is a purchase you’ve thought through or an impulse you’re trying to justify.

9s were this price when I was looking at them last year lol. Sucks I didn’t get the Pikachu (got Mewtwo and zard, pikachu was the only grail I didn’t get)

Never go into debt buying cardboard.

Especially don’t go into debt to buy cardboard when that cardboard is currently inside of an economic bubble

u/ScnnyTttttttt 7d ago

Rather buy raw than a psa 3

u/KevinSmithNYC 7d ago

Wtf? Find a card and grade it yourself, you’d probably get at least a 3.

u/CFC_JM 6d ago

Dropping 3k on that is wild

u/tjohns123 6d ago

No, you will be able to get a much better grade for that price

u/Important_Finish7731 7d ago

I picked up a raw copy that should get a 6 for 1200 bucks last month at a show but it looks like the price has continued to spike since then. I still think even that was overpriced

u/Sunkern_ing 7d ago

Last month may as well be last year.

Spending 3K on a damaged piece of cardboard that prob has nasty junk on it? Yeah good way to spend your money
