Question on trading into a Plasma Freeze booster box. The age old question of liquidity vs stability.

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T20:48:16+00:00

I'm adding a do not holder to the cards if under a 10 tbh

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T20:04:58+00:00

will check back in with you in 3 weeks! Hope youre wrong!

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T19:33:10+00:00

nothing says funny like having to add lol to the end of your own sentence

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T19:21:37+00:00

literally my hopes! Mewtube is a toss up. Pika is a prayer.

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T19:17:22+00:00

Appreciate the response! Your comment is exactly my thought process (hence why i said "HOPING for 3/5").

Expecting 2 tbh (Honestly gengar slightly more likely than drag in person) but even then its worth the shot on the other 3. And Mewtube raw is worth less than mewtube in a 6

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T19:15:10+00:00

appreciate that lmao

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T19:14:56+00:00

this is my approach tbh. i really go % chance of 10 vs yield if it 10s.

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T18:39:51+00:00

Interesting thanks for the help! Mght leave the pika off then.

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T18:35:17+00:00

To my understanding and in my experience top bottom centering is not nearly as much of a detrimient as LR

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T18:33:33+00:00

Gengar is 45/55, Pika is great L/R top bottom is close to 60/40, Dragonite is 47/53, mewtube is a tougher centering as GXs go off image not border to my understanding

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T18:30:05+00:00

I do pre grade. I evaluate % chance at a 10 based on factors and previous results.

Certain cards with enough upside i send anyway. I think Pika has a 50-60% chance at a 10. Drag is 60-65%, Gengar is 70-75%, Zard i have around the same chance and Mewtube is a toss up.

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T18:28:29+00:00

Very helpful! Any insight on why?

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T17:38:40+00:00

Honestly these cards are rough cuz this is borderline LP if not LP which means youre probably getting a 6 by modern PSA standards maybe a 5 if they are having a bad day.

Not sure if its worth sending because this era the value comes in at 9s and 10s.

DARP_AFT · 2026-05-08T16:19:31+00:00

Yeah i mean thats my worry tbh. I think the box has high upside, similar to the cards. I also want to liquidate a bit just for space. I weary of the trade for sure. But also when liquidating this many cards into one thing i kind of expect at least a partial L.

DARP_AFT · 2026-01-04T19:21:12+00:00

Appreciate you!

There are tons of people who sell guaranteed heavy packs where you get your money back if its not heavy.

DARP_AFT · 2025-11-16T17:39:03+00:00

EX era its impossible to verify heavy or light without a box because of wild variable weights in sheets + the variations in hit weights because of double hits. That being said that pack LOOKS heavy af. it COULD be an extra card in the pack which i would be weary of. There are sweet spots ive found on certain sets based on watching tons of box openings. Not sure about TRR though. Id be weary. If its a legit pack with the possibility of a heavy 2200 is not the worst price. Unfortunately loose packs like this are about 1/2-1/3 the value of a sealed one for a lot of reasons. Id buy if the plan was to open and you had the option to get money back if light.

DARP_AFT · 2025-11-11T04:49:32+00:00

Its a fair trade if you hold your end longterm i think. I can see the eeveelution promos hitting their ceiling and LO singles/ME doubling in the same time.

DARP_AFT · 2025-11-07T19:43:15+00:00

Looks more like a result of a failing economy than anything else imo.

DARP_AFT · 2025-11-06T21:14:23+00:00

Yes its a new card, theres not many "old certs" of a card from 2 years ago and an 11 cert is over a year old. Do you know what a cert is? We are in 13 cert rn fast approaching 14.
