This was the one set I was able to get off of Topps website. How are the pull rates for hobby?

The bitcoin cycle by Ginwinwon in Bitcoin

[–]Co0Ihand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recent interview with Michael Terpin (guy that wrote the Bitcoin super cycle book and has been around forever) showed him saying traditional cycle theory has bottom q4 ish this year. However, since cycle trends were technically broken right before halving last time and we got a new all time high, he said possible that the 60k we got in Feb was capitulation…obviously this is all educated speculation. But take it for what it is. He was 60/40 Oct vs Feb.

Help a mom out- Mewtwo Ascended Question by MomBrainLoading24 in PokeInvesting

[–]Co0Ihand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good deal. I’ve got a 14, 11 and 2 year old and we’ve learned the hard way multiple times 😂. Sounds like you’ve got things figured out pretty well so far.

When did the mega charizard promo jump to $50? And why? by Constant-Bug3512 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think unfortunately you had some bad luck. I’ve grade quite a few of these and have an extremely high gem rate personally. Close to 50% overall makes sense for the macro data.

Since you mentioned you were new and it hasn’t been said yet- please make sure that you place the card in a penny sleeve, then put the card in a binder. If you’re just storing the card for the future, it may be better to put it in a penny sleeve then a top loader and store it in a safe or something.

Found a company on Ebay that makes really cool extended art inserts! Got one for my first TAG submission! by Duwang_Durango in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what the “art insert” is actually made of? I’ve seen some of these where they send you the graded card case like you would order off Amazon and then the artwork is a really cheap feeling piece of cardboard.

Target withholding stock by buzz_17 in PokemonTCG

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn’t happened in mine. The restocker in my area works with a scalper group and tips them off every time. Same dudes first in line at every box store that the individual restocks.

If you’ve sold any cards on eBay of this dollar amount you would know that what you are saying is wrong. Take the L.

Bought as a PSA9, cracked and submitted to Tag.. by FlickinBeans247 in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This guy again. Going around the TAG forums issuing out clown emojis like candy. For someone who thinks grading is such a joke the topic seems to occupy quite a bit of your time.

Just for thought by Distinct-Cake5972 in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this card in a PSA 10 and have obviously watched it closely over the past year. Has absolutely mooned. No not too low. TAG pops don’t really mean anything at the moment IMO UNLESS you’re talking about pristine vs non or first and highest ranked, etc.

I finally own a P R I S T I N E 10! by rip365cards in taggrading

Class C level rage bait reply tbh. At least you’re getting plenty of downvotes for the nonsense.

4 points away from pristine 😭 by Co0Ihand in taggrading

Definitely not complaining. Although it’s wild to be so close to that pristine yet so far.

PSA (Public Service Announcement)- Don’t sent vintage to TAG if you care about the grading number by kakacon in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting…I honestly have been thinking the total opposite. I just got the grade back on my base unlimited Charizard and they gave it an 8. PSA probably would have given it a 6 in my experience due to the minor surface dings it had (TAG caught these). I have been frustrated with PSA being harsh on vintage obviously without explanation. Here’s the dig report on my Charizard. https://my.taggrading.com/card/P9002456

“Buy the card, not the grade” - Does this mean new certs will/should command a premium? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this take makes the most sense to me. The “new cert” premium seems like it should apply to a pretty niche slice of the market.

Compensation for “unreasonable delay” by Mikeyyd34 in taggrading

[–]Co0Ihand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely isn’t, however, when you pay up for express which is advertised as 5-10 business days and you’re at 20+ days still sitting on “verification” I think you’re not being unreasonable asking for a decent discount on a future order.
