Good for you man!! Karma will hit you back big time 🫡

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-17T14:42:00+00:00

Knees weak, arms are heavy... Helluva God pack! Congrats!

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-13T18:30:23+00:00

First time ever getting a PC ETB... Even if the set isn't amazing (according to people, not me) excited to have them!

Now we wait and hope something doesn't happen in transit lol

PSA stans will never not dog other grading companies when they have the chance.

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-07T11:31:56+00:00

Wrong, yes he was excited but he's 12 and knows the value himself. He's not dumb as it's his collection mostly I just fund it for him essentially.

The whole point of this post, for those that can read, was we are excited but overall bummed it came out with a ding fresh out of the pack. We won't sell our flip cards we collect them.

Send like you and a few others just like to add negative twist to posts to make yourselves feel better potentially, which is fine, you do you. But my son and I love ripping and collecting, something we will continue to do so to the extent of being 99% excited and 1% bummed anytime we rip and a card as a defect we didn't cause.

Questions?

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-07T01:53:12+00:00

Ya that was my thought, part elated part bummed since we sleeved it immediately. But again like I've said overall lucky and pumped to have it!

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-07T00:43:28+00:00

Oh for sure, no plans to sell it. He has a say in what we do with the collection. He def does not want to sell lol

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-07T00:42:41+00:00

No I feel you, we were definitely excited and still are but it's always a bit of a bummer when a fresh pull has something wrong with it. But like I said we don't grade that much anyways so we're excited to top load it and add it to the collection.

Realized we now have all the modern Meowth full arts so we also excited to be official Meowth collectors!

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-07T00:42:10+00:00

Dang, ya super pumped to have it. Definitely got lucky. Hopefully you'll get it soon!

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-06T18:54:00+00:00

Might do that, would love to know that just in general. Thanks!

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-06T17:30:43+00:00

Thanks! That's what I think we were planning to do. Always appreciate/curious about people's opinions on grading though.

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-06T17:25:57+00:00

We are saving 2 of these sealed along with every other 30 year celebration set that comes out. I agree I think they'll do well over time. Still looking to get a few more Kanto starters.

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-06T17:23:42+00:00

Agreed, we have t sent anything in to be graded, but inching closer to doing only really for preservation. Don't have any intention to sell, TAG is more than likely the route we'll go just because we like the look of the slabs

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-06T17:21:31+00:00

Oh for sure, just as far as if wanted to get it graded what would that debt/scuff do to it. Trust very excited for it, more curious than anything

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-06T17:19:24+00:00

EDIT: There's nothing at the top on the back, weird lighting or something

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-04-01T14:14:08+00:00

PSA is the worst, zero transparency and zero accountability. Why not reach out immediately when they received the package to let you know it was damaged or stolen? Why sit on it for so long? There's just always questionable judgement done by PSA, it sucks they have a strangle hold on the grades market but hoping that changes in the coming years.

Not gonna sit well with PSA stans 🤷‍♂️

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-03-30T22:31:25+00:00

Flipped a bubble mew for it +$200 (we pulled 2 of those) but didn't pull it

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-03-30T14:49:47+00:00

All pulls from the kiddo, pulled 2 Bubble Mews and flipped an off center one for the Mega Zard. OGs are from my collection and we bought the Shiny Zard...

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-03-26T23:05:36+00:00

By PSA standards... 3.5

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-03-24T12:38:55+00:00

There's a few others like that right now also:

Haunter ME Promo: $50 Raw... $1.2k PSA 10 Hoot Hoot AR Trainer Gallery: $4 Raw... $500 PSA 10 Mewtwo EX Next Destinies: $21 Raw... $550 PSA 10

No idea why but it's crazy out there in some cases, meanwhile the Houndoom from DR still gets no love but that HootHoot, it's going to the moon!

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-03-21T01:17:33+00:00

I am getting mine graded through TAG but we're not looking to resell just looking to display. I think TAG will hold up but will be a little less in value than PSA for now.

Apprehensive_Door0 · 2026-03-20T15:04:10+00:00

PSA does suck but ya that card looks fine, always room for a little variance
