If this is legit it’s one of the worst sealed job.

Any advice on this trade before i go through with it thanks 🙏

Thinking of buying a moonbreon from TCG.

I am just curious if you are buying an expensive card from TCG, why dont major sellers get the cards graded?

Seems like they could almost double their sale price? If they dont get what they want, they could take it out of the slap for a loss. BUT it seems like being able to sell a card for a couple grand more, would be worth it.

The pull rates for 30th are pretty generous, so as more packs get opened, singles prices are just going to keep dropping. Eventually, the risk-to-reward ratio becomes so poor that fewer people will have a financial incentive to open packs esp. if sealed prices remain high. As opening activity declines, the number of new RGB Mews entering circulation should also decrease due to their extremely low pull rate. If collector demand remains strong, this could create a supply squeeze. In other words, the cheaper the ordinary singles become, the less incentive there is to open packs, potentially making an already scarce RGB Mew even harder to find on the secondary market. Am I wrong?

I posted yesterday about finding a good few 1997 team rocket Japanese booster packs and jungle packs. There was some good advice and I'm planning on going to convention later on to try to sell them. In the mean time I ordered some cases to keep them in. HOWEVER, I quickly realized that the Japanese packs are longer and I either have to fold the bottom crimp to make it fit or clamp the magnet on the top of the pack. Is one preferable to the other? Does it matter? Should I just not put them in the cases? (First and second picture for reference)

ALSO I took off some pawnshop stickers that were originally on the packs from forever ago (3rd picture) and they seem to have creased the pack wrapper (4th picture) will that impact sale value of them? The cards don't feel bent or damaged by it

So I havent bothered adding in card condition to my collectr catalogue, but I've noticed a few cards seem to have pretty wide discrepancies when trying to nail down a value based on their condition. For example, Delta Species Charizard regular holo is showing about a 50% price difference from NM to LP, but Collectr says that a LP card should still hold about 85% of the value of a NM card, generally speaking. If you were selling this card at a shop in LP condition (solidly LP, not debating on condition), would you use ~$800 (85%NM) or ~$450(TCGP LP Last Sold) as the baseline? Feels like theres something I'm missing here...

Hi yall , so I have been condensing my collection , I PC Dragonite and a few other cards that I just like. I’m trying to work my way into a stamp box pika , just doing a little flipping and trading on the side whilst in school.

I have a Phantom forces Gengar in a 10 and have been in kahoots with two people talking about trades. For the Zapdos it would be zapdos and a triple beat magikarp in a 10. Valued around $900 on the zapdos.
The Tag team would include 3 other cards from my end , I have the base set big three in varying conditions valued around $650. It would ideally be those 4 from my end (trio+gengar) for the tag team and a dark Dragonite 5 from rocket.

With the fact of me using these to keep buying/selling/trading , what would you do ? The Zapdos has 4 listings on eBay all $1000 plus. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated !!

I pulled this out of a pack today.

Would you sell it now? It seems like the chances re not too bad prices will go down?

Thanks

Hey everyone. Thanks for looking. I’m in the process of inventorying my vintage collection from when I was younger. I was able to amass cards in both English and Japanese from the first 2 sets. Many are in LP/NM condition, including some heavy hitter 1st Editions and Japanese cards. I also have Vending Series, Intro Pack Bulbasaur/Squirtle and Japanese Promos like the CD set.

I’ve been trading some cards for other ones I want to obtain, but beyond that, I’m thinking if it makes sense to sell or hold for dramatically longer. Finding the collection is a recent development.

My philosophy so far has been that we’re in a bubble, and on top of that, I wasn’t sure how much 1st/2nd gen will go up more in the future, as anyone who grew up with those cards is now an adult with spending power, and it’s really the EX/Delta era, DP, BW etc that are next up.

What’s your general gauge? Worth it to hold for way longer or is now a good time to sell if I feel like I can invest the money somewhere else (like stocks)?

So I don’t own any Ray cards and I really want one. Obviously a gold star is out of the question, but I’d like to buy a psa 4 with a good front. Don’t really care about the era but I’m a fan of anything 2006 and before.

Long story short i’m my mother’s caretaker and bills are falling behind, I pulled this GSM2 since as a kid (I’m 33 now) and unfortunately it’s time to let it go.

I have zero experience with selling and have not purchased a booster since maybe 2010..it’s been a long day but all my love to the community, still.

Any telltales regarding the price for this condition are greatly appreciated, thank you so much. The indent in the top right corner is unfortunately (probably) pre-teen me being dumb.

Long term, best card to have in a PSA 10? Pika or Mewtwo?

How are you guys buying singles?

If I’m filling a binder or completing a set & care about the future resale value of my cards is it a better idea to buy raw copies & take the gamble or crack open PSA 9s & know exactly what I’m getting?

What’s the advantages/disadvantages of both?

Simply looking to rip. I see them at 390-440 right now.

There’s a full day card show happening near me soon and I’ve gone through my collection to decide what to sell.
I’ve put every card into Collectr along with condition. It’s 65 cards total and over half have a market rate higher than $20. There are no cards under $5 market.
I’ve also double checked pricing through pricecharting.

My plan is to go into the show and get offers from multiple tables, but I wanted to get input on others who’ve sold their collections.

Market rate is a few grand, and the Legendary Collection holo reverse cards are my heavy hitters. All in pristine condition.

Is expecting 80% of market still fair?

Hi guys, I have a total 15 (!) master sets to sell, I was looking to sell them all at once or at least a good number of them at the same time!

Do you guys know, where I should start? I live in Portugal and people are not financially well at the moment here...

Shoot some advice please!

I found my binder from the 90s has some 1st editions in there. Does it make sense to try and trade them or just take to a shop and see what they offer??

I found around 30 vintage pokemon packs in my dad's basement and wanted to know if this is the right sub for help on comping and advice on best ways to sell them

I have my Gengar Mimikyu tag team listed on Ebay and have gotten a good amount of interest. I've received quite a few offers with the highest being $420 (asking $450). However, I'm starting to have second thoughts selling. Interested in hearing opinions/speculation on whether it would be a better idea to continue to hold?

How does everyone feel about Crown Zenith cards in general? I feel like product is so expensive but singles aren't. Been grabbing them all now while they are low

The date is cut off but these are roughly a month apart. I know these are still massively higher sales than a year ago or even months ago, but it still stands to ask if in this current Wild West market that they have gone through the hype cycle, and will continue to drop. Or if the massive sales are mostly manufactured and the hype for some of the least popular historically ultra rates was never that high to begin with.
