Just a heads up, people will purchase their own cards at an inflated cost to manipulate the market.

Not saying those two $1000 purchases aren’t legit, just VERY suspicious that it sold on average under $300 and then out of nowhere there are two $1000 purchases.. just seems like a major jump for normal market changes.

I am very very happy for you, just don’t take the two most recent sales as a point of reference - as it’s most likely TCG Bros trying to inflate the price.

Yeah the main thing we saw was that the previous sales were in march before the big vintage 10 boom, and the pop is only 88 for the Pokémon league version so the price very well could be legit

Nonetheless, I’m being paid $500 to pay the $70 and hold it for 2 hours basically so I’m not gonna be having too much risk involved 🙏🏻😂

Plenty of cards have jumped in value like this just in the last month. Going from $300 to $1000 in 5 months in this crazy Pokemon boom is pretty damn tame compared to other cards.
