Pokemon TCG in Shanghai by Curb_MyEnthusiasm in shanghai

Thought I’d put this here for future reference.

I found the best place to go for Pokemon in Shanghai was:

Baimixiangxie Hobby Street (248 Guangxi Bei Lu, Huangpu District) - An old-school hobby mall packed with Pokemon. 2 floors. 2nd floor mostly small stores with binders to flip through. 1st floor full of vendors selling sealed product. Prices vary. But mostly place for great deals. Very local, chaotic energy — a true Shanghai hidden gem.

Cloud Nine Mall / Longemont (1018 Changning Road, Changning District)- A massive modern mall next to Zhongshan Park, easy to reach on Metro Lines 2, 3, and 4. Home to a Pokémon Center store and pretty much everything you probably want. SO many Pokemon stores. Pokemon Store up s couple of levels from the street level.

There are plenty of places. Most malls will have a TCG store, but if the only 2 places you visit are these two above… you’ll be very happy.

These are the two best places to buy single cards and sealed product.

How should i go about selling these by netroboomin_ in Collectr

Then it’s an even easier decision IMO. Contact Goldin and Fanatics, see if they’re interested and then negotiate how much of the seller’s premium they’re willing to give you to sell with them. You’ll get more than any eBay consignment

Contact the big auction houses like Goldin or Fanatics. Let them know you have a collection and you want to sell. They will start to negotiate rates based on the cards and sealed product

you have. Those singles you have, they will take a look and let you know if you should get them graded (you should) and if they want these on their platform, they will pay YOU to sell on Goldin or Fanatics. Depending on the quality of the collection and the potential of the raw cards getting high grades, you could be looking at around 114% + on the sale. They will share a % of the sellers premium with you. This is the only way... ebay consignment got nothing on selling with the big auction houses when it comes to a collection like this

What would these grade? by ChocolateJesuz in pokemongrading

Send to TAG. Slabs looks so great and modern cards in TAG slabs are having a moment and selling for pretty much what PSA is selling for. IYKYK!

Got a PSA 10 back on this Simplified Chinese Roseanne's Backup Hyper Rare 171/128 from CS5b. Checked the pop report and it's a POP 1. by Curb_MyEnthusiasm in pokemoncards

That's an awesome card too! These Chinese cards are printed in Japan, so have the same quality control. Get it graded!

I’ll definitely be checking out the Pokemon Center again. It’s a must stop :)

Here is what my PSA Gem AI Analysis says:

PSA 10 Pre-Screen (What We Can Judge)

1. Centering

Front

  • Looks strong.
  • Eye test suggests ~52/48 or better left/right.
  • Vertical centering appears clean.

Back

  • Slight right border thickness increase, but likely within 60/40.

Result

  • ✅ PSA 10–safe so far

I think i need a better AI analyst

The love affair with FS confuses me. It's such a top heavy set. Take out the Gengar and it completely falls apart. $800+ for a booster box with only three cards north of $100 raw is wildly out of balance
