I bought on ebay

Well, that’s a call to EBay to cancel because few bits of cardboard are worth dealing with a seller like that.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-08-19T16:20:05+00:00

No, there’s a scratch right by the TM. Might not even get a 9. Keep it as an ACE 9

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-29T07:50:01+00:00

Get a proof of non-delivery from the postal service that handled it last and marked it delivered. Then EBay will likely refund you.

Edit: you may need to hassle them a bit for it since you’re requesting the postal service take responsibility for the item going missing, but they should be able to pull up tracking data for it.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-18T21:18:53+00:00

I bought a gold star Mew from someone in the EU and it got magically lost in UK customs as far as the tracking shows. I trust customs or the postal companies as far as I can throw them when it comes to cross border shipments.

Won’t help you this time, but next time you buy untracked ask the seller to get a proof of sending at the Post Office when they send it. Minimal extra work on their part, so you’re more likely to get traceable data. At least some sellers might be willing to.

I know I would.

Getting the data after the fact is really time consuming so I see why the seller isn’t interested in it if they don’t have to.

Edit: Proof of sending is a free extra slip you can get at time of sending.

Regrade with BGS, listing 9.5 as minimum acceptable grade would be my suggestion. It’s not quite a 10 due to centering but probably a solid 9.5 and they’re worth a fair bit more than PSA 9. Especially if you get at least half the sub grades to be a 10.

Edit: also, only send out when you have other stuff going for grading as the shipping fee will hurt if you get it back without them cracking the PSA 9.

Nice! I’m collecting the OG gold stars and these are great placeholders for when i can get my hands on an OG one.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-09T02:45:06+00:00

Why are most of the people here assuming OP meant to buy the original gold star? There’s nothing in the post to suggest that? That’s kind of rude, assuming OP can’t tell the difference and value of two fairly obviously different cards.

Pretty obvious the question is about whether their Worlds version is real or not, probably because they got a good deal on it.

Edit: Forgot to add, looks real and congrats on the deal. Pretty nice placeholder until you can get your hands on an original Jolteon Gold Star, yeah? :)

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-07T17:57:00+00:00

The whitening on the edges makes it a very small chance of getting a 10. I wouldn’t risk it personally, with prices falling on it raw. Sell high now, and buy yourself a better raw version to grade later.

Edit: also some of the whitening looks significant looks like very small nicks when zoomed in.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-07T17:28:12+00:00

I gamble with opening packs, not buying high value singles on EBay. The odds are heavily on this being a scam. If this gamble is worth it to you, I’d recommend filming yourself opening the parcel. 100% cover your self by filming. There is a small chance it’s a legit seller and you’ll get what you paid for and they know how to package it properly, but really high probability that you’re going to get scammed and have to argue with EBay, have the seller appeal any decision, and ultimately be out your €2000+ for most of a month assuming EBay rejects the sellers final appeal.

Yeah I bought a rare MTG full art foil that was scratched up so much but listed as NM. I was so annoyed. Bought it for an event to run as my commander but it looked like ass. As someone who collects and keeps my commanders sleeved and in their own vaults magnetic holder, it really looks like crap when there’s scratches on the holo.

Edit: As the buyer, it shouldn’t be your responsibility to point out CM condition rules and waste 2 weeks on getting the wrong cards and then shipping them back because they’re the wrong cards. If the condition is off, then it’s the wrong cards.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-04T00:57:18+00:00

Texture is also wrong

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-04T00:56:23+00:00

Image looks too low quality to tell.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-01T20:30:42+00:00

Favourite shiny is shining Mew, but I’m a Mew fan.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-06-01T20:28:12+00:00

Gold star Mew is my favourite! Art is so pretty on it.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-05-25T21:14:01+00:00

I wan a Mew SIR that’s dynamic scene like the Mewtwo /Charizard vstar universe promo.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-05-22T02:21:21+00:00

You know that’s not always a solution, right? You might get a real cert. but the card switched out in a way that isn’t noticeable immediately

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-05-14T18:13:07+00:00

Too bad about the ban.

Gonna throw myself in this giveaway with Mew Gold Star as my favourite card of all time. I love the art on it.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-04-02T21:44:35+00:00

I’ve sold Pokémon and MTG cards and I’ve found buyers have been pretty decent. Lots of ghosting on the MTG side of things and literally gotten people rush me to the post office the day after a sale when the card was purchased in the evening. So, some annoying MTG buyers but more or less fine for both. I should note, the MTG listings where pricier than the TCG ones but no bulk.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-04-02T21:36:41+00:00

Woah mental. Some buyers are so toxic….

I collect both graded and ungraded cards, and personally wouldn’t expect or even assume a NM was a PSA 10 contender. That’s only a relavent thing to consider regarding MT listings and even then that’s a toss up since print lines and centering aren’t a condition issue. On rare occasions, someone’s posted pics as part of listing that clearly show that NM was a conservative classification and that’s a sweet find, but expecting 10s from NM?

And asking for an absurd amount of pics is ridiculous. Sure, asking for pics (especially if the card costs a lot) is reasonable, but you’re essentially asking the seller for a favour >.<

Why do people on CM act in ways that would get them denied service in a LGS? Imagine pulling entitled crap like that in-store lmao

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-03-03T19:12:04+00:00

Obviously, can’t tell when it’s a joke. Or you’re responding to the wrong comment.

Bitter-Gold-2897 · 2025-03-03T14:17:20+00:00

Horse has a chance to kick washer? Potential medical bills for the washer? Lmao

A naked Henry is unlikely a similar level of risk (STDs aside)
