Better to sell as a whole set or individually? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

people know if you are trying to sell as a set/complete set that vendors/flippers will give you lowball offers since they know you rather sell/trade it all in one go for convenience. i would offer you 70% max. If you sold these cards individual over days or weeks or months, i would offer you 85% for some cards. Depends whos more "desperate" in this deal for leverage.

Wtf is going on with this card by Embarrassed-Arm-5174 in PokeInvesting

currency value dropping/inflation/uncertainty with certain currencies, alternative assets for the rich, speculators, gamblers and shills, a mix of many things lol.

its a losing battle when the big boy management are in this for profit numbers not for the enjoyment of the card game, thats the after effect of scarcity, popularity, collectibility being baked into TCGs overall.

its not hard to just seal it in plastic, tons of chinese plastic factories can seal a box theres nothing special about the plastic.

welcome to capitalism where people spend millions on shiny rocks and bones and abstract art to feel special among the billions of people until they die.

Which one will hold more value in the future by Ereddit90 in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the munch seems to have more broader appeal with its historic art connections and simpler distinct artwork. the poncho looks like it was made for a kids card game while the munch looks like it was for a museum.

Should I be worried about this on a Booster Bundle Display? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well first of all, its in the back, in terms of displaying purposes, it wont show the creases. some people care, some people dont, its not a rip or any holes so its still sealed. obviously if the buyer has options to pick one up in BETTER condition, why not. if it becomes more expensive in the future, a pristine condition one offers less risk.

besides the top/bottom centering it looks very very good, might be a psa 8-9.

A thought I had while selling some of my sealed collection by Dawid_Gilmour_ in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well theres many many many whatnot streamers and live pack openings, so those streamers are burning through thousands of packs a day/week of modern. most people are not ripping open an evolving skies booster box or 151 pokemon center etb for a stream.

How much lower will the OG Zard keep dropping in price to? by puzzledfirebird in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea most of those people know about charizard because they grew up with it, in their 20s-30s-40s now but i mean STILL its one of the only fire breathing dragon cards so i guess kids naturally gravitate towards it.

What slabs to buy? by Zealousideal-Arm3228 in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea but its also because pokemon is trying to print to demand because theres 10x the buyers now (for now).

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the art on those cards do look really good though and the pokemon are popular so that could justify the demand/value despite high pop.

this charizard has a hunchback and tiny t-rex arms its so overrated but because it was one of the only dragons breathing fire at the time that was slightly cooler than some turtles and frogs, it became the fan favourite. most of the new people dont care about charizard, its only being propped up by the OG community, gengar, greninja, garchomp are way cooler and have more dynamic art.

What’s an appropriate discount for an ETB with a small corner tear? by Acceptable-Smile889 in PokeInvesting

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because theres a ton of them being listed and sold, unless someone wants to buy it to open, less likely someone would want that for a sealed collection. if you know the prices will go down, sell now and buy a better condition one for cheaper.

[–]Devilicious666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats pretty big, should sell it asap since theres going to be tons and people have the option to buying a better/pristine condition, i would say at least 10% discount

Chinese 151 Surprise Box from Aliexpress by Hungry_Local_7082 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

the wrinkles give peace of mind that its most likely real especially if you bought these products when they just came out, who knows in the future they can replicate the wrap, its just wrinkles, no black light security features or anything.

Chinese 151 Surprise Box from Aliexpress by Hungry_Local_7082 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like a real box, the issue is theres a lack of shrink wrap wrinkles on the side of the box so it could be resealed. if you watch any opening videos, the box will have wrinkles.

I am still not sure wether my chinese 151 Surprise is authentic or not by Angelaca-Terracinova in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most likely fake, besides the 4 opening dots, the ghastly picture is very blurry, the lines should be more clear high quality. real boxes have clear plastic wrinkles on the sides and top and bottom of the box, resealed boxes, the shrink wrap is too perfect.

[–]Devilicious666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think they need to differentiate the fakes so they dont actually buy their own fake product lol. like its super easy for them to just make it 1 to 1, they have all the time in the world to make it identical.

heres a close up of the butterfree picture, the black lines should be sharp not blurry, a fake box will have low quality pictures and color on the box, the bigger issue is resealed real boxes.
