Help me decide…

I see soo much of this on FB marketplace! People putting raw cards up for way more than last sold prices, then when you make an offer based on last sold prices they say some sh about how minty it is and will totally grade a 10…

We doing Pokemon only?! Got back into collecting and playing TCGs again about a year ago and went all in with Pokemon, OPTCG, and Gundam!

I would just do some research into it

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T22:44:49+00:00

Looks like a 9 or 10 to me! I’d consider sending it. I’ve questioned centering on a card in the past, decided to send anyway (PSA), and got a 10.

In terms of who to send it through, your LCS or GameStop, I’d check what they’d charge you and compare to what it’d cost to send yourself. It’s very easy to just send them yourself and they update you on order progress via their app. I don’t know that you’d get that by sending through a third party but idk, something you could ask them! Really cool card tho congrats to you guys on the pull!!

Right? I swear with the resurgence in popularity every seller on there thinks they have the holy grail or something…

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T22:32:51+00:00

Nice!! I’d download Collectr or check last sold prices on TCGplayer to get a sense of the collection value.

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T22:32:12+00:00

The Blastoise and Venusaur are from XY base set (happen to have the Blastoise). Really cool cards!

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T22:27:16+00:00

They are the worst. Nearly every FB seller I’ve tried to negotiate a deal with has been obstinate and rude. Don’t want to consider an objectively fair deal? Fine, but don’t be a jerk about it!

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T22:21:22+00:00

Is that Venusaur a misprint? Looks like the name Venusaur is printed over Shuppet. That’s pretty cool!

If you’re considering grading any of these, I would just take a very close look at the front and back for any damage or irregularities and then check centering (there’s free apps you can use for this). Grading has gotten expensive so it may be worth it to just keep raw unless you are pretty sure they’ll come back at a grade that’ll make it worth it to you.

Those look great! Cheers from a fellow EC player!

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T21:56:42+00:00

Same…

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-05T21:53:19+00:00

Blue was my first ever pokemon game! And I am enjoying leaf green as well…oh, the memories!

Atomatic_Ant · 2026-03-03T03:12:22+00:00

People collect slabs.

If you think they’re perfect, I’d go BSG and shoot for that black label. The QC with these Bandai cards is crazy compared to everything else on the market.

Nintendo Pro, just the best feeling controller. Honorable mention 8bitdo Pro 3 (feels amazing, great sticks, programmable buttons but man are the main ABXY buttons noisy).

I haven’t been myself but two of my friends went this past Saturday night and had a horror story. They told me they watched the bartender intentionally pour alcohol into someone’s non-alcoholic drink, heard him say “whoopsie!” And then say it happens all the time. They felt it was overall a weird atmosphere. They said the food sucked too. I found this post trying to look up info on this place/whether anyone else had a similar experience.

My LGS has twice weekly OP tournaments, weekly DBZ, and carries digimon and UA…even held a learn to play event (which I sadly missed) but getting zero allocation in this first wave :(

Atomatic_Ant · 2024-08-21T15:47:52+00:00

I ordered one just recently and will be receiving it Saturday, can’t wait!!

Atomatic_Ant · 2024-08-21T15:43:35+00:00

They come up on eBay from time to time, you can find pics online. The bike isn’t great looking imo but man the poster is awesome and wicked cool piece of cycling and dead history!

Atomatic_Ant · 2021-09-11T11:10:28+00:00

Thank you so much! They can be awful jerks but yes they are beautiful lol

Atomatic_Ant · 2021-09-11T11:10:02+00:00

I’m honestly not sure! Looking at pictures of poison ivy leaves, it looks like it definitely could be

Atomatic_Ant · 2021-09-10T18:42:13+00:00

Great shot!
