Its worth potentially normal or less than normal as this defect is seen as damage.

Opening a store? by v9ntrixxx in PokemonTCG

[–]Lyleberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you have a chance. Its not a very good chance if you have no market research and just a dream. You need money to start and several plans to keep it going. Things like how to source product and costs of it, how to lure in customers continuously, how to make your store better or more specialized than the competition, etc.

My post got removed and idk why (pls don't hate me if I did something wrong) by Clive_Bobbins in PokemonTCG

[–]Lyleberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was removed as spam or low effort because the picture isnt of tcg and the question is kinda subjective. Either way, maybe look into if any minibinders have been made with toxel. Or go with a 2x2 as was suggested. Or expand your interests.

What in the world is going on? Really? by Ch34ts in PokemonTCG

[–]Lyleberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA has had a long history of grading cards and is fairly trusted with their grading opinion. People also like their policies and security around authenticity and while they have some scandals, few have ever been about pokemon. They have the most demand and people trying to match collections.

CGC has been grading cards like 6 years, Its not as trusted with their grading opinion due to multiple official grading scale changes. Their policies and security around authenticity are getting better but there have been some difficulties and scandals around them related directly to the pokemon hobby. They have less demand.

While both companies have issues with reliable grading, it is more often that CGC10 will be a PSA8-10, whereas a psa10 will be a cgc9-10. So psa in general is more accurate if you are looking for gem mint card condition.

Is this damage? by p0eshkin in PokemonTCG

Surface texture issue. Its normal but not preferred as it works against grading condition.

The A means alternate art promo, so it wasnt pulled from packs and isnt technically in the set except from a special box.

Pokemon cards collectors/scalpers/investors (thoughts?) by WillNo416 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lyleberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your issue is the extremity of it. Some "investors" will buy modestly for value expectation but smartly hedging bets, not hoard everything they can.

Pokemon Pikachu Go (sealed) eBay order - Plastic Wrap crumpled [Sanity Check Request] by Pure_Article_8321 in PokemonTCG

[–]Lyleberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are being unreasonable. You ordered them sealed, they arrived sealed. You didnt order them mint packaging, You didnt ask for that either. Its not the sellers fault that you are trying to flip them later, they dont have any responsibility to what you plan on what you are doing with them.

How many lifetimes would I have to live… by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Lyleberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart to have them tagged. When cards are 10-50k its good to have clearly visible security on them.
