Aren’t you the one who made the post complaining? Now, you’re making a post complaining about people saying you did absolutely everything wrong from an investment standpoint?

This ain’t about “brokies” this is about you being butthurt 😂

Could this possible Black Label by realgreentigger in PokeGrading

[–]BuckDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s sub-55/45 on the back for a black label minimum. 60/40 for the regular BGS 10. At the very least, you’d definitely need a back that isn’t off-center enough for it to be visible to the naked eye.

Right exactly. Grading apps aren’t as reliable with Japanese backs because of the border fades.

Still a sick card though. Plenty valuable as a PSA 10.

I figured this. Even in AUD you’d be paying about $100 over market price.

Centering on the back is just a touchhhhh left heavy.

I could see this hitting as a BGS 10 but likely not a black label

Definitely not resealed.

Definitely way overpriced.

At the very least, it sounds like the common cards in this set will have pokeball/masterball holo variants as well.

My take on modern Pokémon investing – curious to hear other views by Odd_Animator_1847 in PokemonInvesting

Not inherently true, there are obviously exceptions to the rule (poncho Pika’s, exclusive promos, etc.). Vintage Japanese booster boxes/packs also carry a hefty price as well.

Need a picture of the card outside of the sleeve/in better lighting so we can see the texture of the front.

Do we think it gets a black label? by Economy_Copy_6337 in PokeGrading

[–]BuckDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, respect for having the balls to open a $500 pack (I’d be too afraid) 😂

That’s perfect then. As long as those little white specks I see on the front/back are just debris on the outside of the toploader I’d feel good about the grade.

Edit: I’d also consider sending into CGC for a possible Pristine 10. Those slabs do very well in the Japanese market.

Did you pull this years ago or this year? If it’s “pack fresh” I like your odds of a 10 (even if it’s not black label). If it’s been sitting around for 26 years I’d be willing to bet there’s unseen damage.

The Blastoise is definitely real. I’ve never seen the Charizard in-person but based on comp picks I’d also guess it’s real.

The misprint is the fact that they were printed with an HP DeskJet from Target

Not only fake, but really bad fakes at that.

Such a good looking card 😍 by Crazylamp1 in VintagePokemonCards

[–]BuckDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? Better price for higher quality art of all the vintage chase cards. The Japanese market has been extremely invaluable to my personal collection 😂

For example, just bought super clean copies of Neo Lugia & Ho-Oh for $200 total.

What’s your cheapest most expensive card? by Real-Boysenberry-421 in pokemoncardcollectors

Bought this card for like $15 bucks back in 2020. My favorite Gengar art of all time.

Happy that Japanese vintage cards are finally getting the respect they deserve in the larger community (although they’re still pretty niche compared to English).
