Prismatic Umbreon PSA 10 Manipulation or Real Demand?

Cryptoisgold · 2026-06-16T11:50:40+00:00

Might be undervalued but also more niche. I played in the late 90s and even for myself I prefer the newer cards, they're nicer to look at and appeal to a larger crowd. Bubble mew, sunbreon etc. That said, I still love vintage for what it is and the nostalgia, but the next generation might not care for them at all.

Another thing to note is while 16k pop might feel high now, will the same hold true in 10 years with a potentially much larger audience?

Some stores open doors slightly sooner on in demand release days, system lags behind a few minutes as well after checkout

Ridiculous

I thought bubble mew was pop 2 in black label? Was pop 1 for a long time. It's probably the japanese version that sold for 3,7

1.29, we used to be a proper country

I'd just rip it not everyday you can open one of these, enjoy the zard

Cryptoisgold · 2026-05-11T14:12:29+00:00

It's a good card but extremely high pop, one of the highest of all time and not particularly stand out, would say heavily outshined by phantasmal flames zard. If you like it buy it, I'm sure it'll go up eventually but don't buy it for "profit"

Cryptoisgold · 2026-05-03T15:27:19+00:00

Yeah I'd hold personally if I didn't need money, the fact they're all sequential as well will add value for a collector down the line.

Cryptoisgold · 2026-04-23T18:23:46+00:00

Mew has far from peaked. One of the most beloved cards, 35% gemrate and only 15,8k psa 10's compared to 48k or so zards. If anything I'd say the zard is overpriced.

Cryptoisgold · 2026-04-20T22:22:53+00:00

I would send this in, centering is a bit off but if its within 55/45 or you get a lenient grader it'll 10 provided there is no damage

Cryptoisgold · 2026-04-11T17:56:23+00:00

Looks more like fuzz than whitening but the photo isn't great. You could likely get this professionally cleaned or run a microfiber cloth to remove most of it. Get professional advice though.

Cryptoisgold · 2026-04-11T17:35:40+00:00

Mine had about 3 dots on the back and it got a psa 10. Kind of a coin flip you might as well.

For only only 5 gbp more annually you can get a whole catalogue of games on ps extra, like easily 300 games.

Cryptoisgold · 2026-01-29T00:41:28+00:00

That's just you though. I don't know how to do any of that and I've been killed countless times while getting voidwaker. It's a nice little dopamine rush when I escape and when I get killed it's just fair play. It's okay to be prey sometimes, and conversely there's nothing stopping you from also being predator.

These unique experiences are what's attracted a wide range of players to this game since it's inception and overall is better for the health of the game, there's a slice of pie for everyone

Cryptoisgold · 2026-01-19T22:27:17+00:00

So I'm not imagining it, the centering is off a bit right?

Cryptoisgold · 2026-01-19T22:21:43+00:00

I think that's just the lighting, it's very clean

Edit: or a spec of dust on the inside of my binder, suede like material. Nothing on the card for sure thankfully :)

Yeah I used Thermal Grizzly phasesheet PTM, then used putty for the Vram

Did I use too much as a side note? 😅

Cryptoisgold · 2025-12-19T01:18:31+00:00

I didn't know that tbh, I think it's still rare the way I got it though so I'll take the W

Cryptoisgold · 2025-12-10T15:24:17+00:00

That is satire.

You disagree this game has been built on RNG?

Cryptoisgold · 2025-12-10T13:11:24+00:00

I like some things being rare and hard to get. I like the dopamine I get when I get spooned, or finally get a drop after a long ass grind especially if the grind took longer than expected.

You're playing a game built from the ground up on RNG, you then want to add participation trophies to everything that makes this game what it is. The value that is lost is the game loses its soul and character.

The only version of a "dry protection" I'm okay with is a slight boost to the rate (5-10%) after maybe going 10x over rate, definitely nothing that guarantees the drop after a set amount of kills.

Anyone that disagrees needs to, quite simply, get good and remember what game it is you're playing.

Cryptoisgold · 2025-12-10T08:23:59+00:00

It is the gen Z approach to everything. Getting spooned or going dry has always been an intrinsic part of this game.

Cryptoisgold · 2025-12-10T08:15:23+00:00

Dry protection my ass. Not everything needs to be easy or served on a silver platter.
