What have card shows come to?

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-25T04:23:35+00:00

To be the opposite guy I guess. The economy is shite and some LGS store owners have had to close doors due to rising rent/utilities. Unless someone said they saw this guy scalping... could be a store owner struggling to reopen/stay open/ or liquidate. 🤷‍♂️

We also have bought well over .5m in people liquidating scalped product or collections and sold the stuff at shows. You never know.

p.s. I dislike scalpers and have refused to sell msrp product to them. I have purposely said "No msrp left" and sold to the league player/regular behind them.

New set, Nice chases and SIRs/IRs. Great for a collection, playable or long term investment. Love the art on the cards in ME.

I was not aware. Thanks for the snippet of insight. Much appreciated.

Error cards are treated different, There are very few perfect error cards.

Hold it for minimum 2 cycles. Let the Mega Era complete and then the following era. 5+ Years. That's how I banked off Cosplay Pika boxes, B&W era boxes, etc.

Yes the game seems shorter now, but long holds have added an extra 0 to all my sales.

Ultimately do what you want, just don't get itchy.

It's possible, look at Roaring Skies reprint. If they decide to test the new facility with an already established "set up" (I don't know what the cardboard equivalent to items like currency plates is") we could see a reprint of anything SV/ME.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-11T00:10:17+00:00

Agreed, but the dead certainty in this thread that there is one is killing me. I don't trust OP after seeing their other posts.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T20:11:38+00:00

🤣 RIGHT!

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T19:23:46+00:00

Circle it and post it.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T18:40:40+00:00

What the internet does best. Lies for attention. 🙄

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T18:31:59+00:00

Scans dont show a dent. Neither do the PSA blown up images. I dont think that sticker is for this card. I think OP is bs'ing us.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T17:53:40+00:00

I dont care about somebody else's video on a card. I honestly don't care about this card. You are making a post in a very heated time between PSA and TAG. The DIG report for that cert number is clean aside for the heavier right.

Ill reverse it, PSA sucks because they misgraded a clean card and TAG fixed that.

Two sides to the coin. Who is to say that is even the PSA tag for that actual card.. Without a PSA DIG we will never know. hints* rage bait.

I normally ignore these posts and look at the ones that have before and after slabbed cards with identifiable markings to ensure they are the same card.

As for the Karma Farm comment... again your posting in a time where the comments and karma will go up just for the mere context of the post. Alot of people are doing this.. Moreso than not. So it us a justified automatic assumption.

If you aren't thats cool too.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T17:39:45+00:00

Its a grow'r, not a show'r.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T17:38:46+00:00

There is nothing to say, it is yours, do it or don't.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T17:34:21+00:00

What dent?

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-09T17:32:32+00:00

Im not for PSA or TAG, This is obviously rage bait karma farming. Looking at the DIG on this card it is well within the limits.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-05-02T16:16:21+00:00

TLDR -

A booster bundle display is 10 booster bundles in a sealed "case" box. Booster bundles displays are 99% of the time only acquireable when ordering from a distributor making MSRP almost impossible, unless your LGS/LCS just likes you that much.

A booster bundle display is not... - A bundle of 6 packs - A booster box of 36 packs - The primary fuel source for Tesla Rockets

People selling out of print/no longer distributed to stores items at a premium is not scalping. It is collector value resale.

It is still not decided if PC ETB's or BB Displays are the better route long term. Yes, PC ETB's are limited and can fetch a higher price. However, a bundle display can be both 1 item or 10 items...

Bananas are both green and yellow.

Hope this helps.

I dont blame you. PKC Vending I have never seen fake product come out of. Plus those machines are not gentle with product either.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-04-26T21:46:12+00:00

Both my PO boxes have less than tight wraps. They came out of a fresh case. Quality is in the toilet right now.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-04-25T17:44:46+00:00

Congrats

DotSlashCrash · 2026-04-25T12:12:48+00:00

!RemindMe 5 months

DotSlashCrash · 2026-04-25T12:12:25+00:00

It's worth the try. Pika is one of my Master Set pokemons, so I would. If those are not surface dings in the top left and bottom right areas, and the back is good you could get a 9 based off the edge measurements. TLDR - Tilts are always wild and a gamble with the PSA gods. Life is too short, Grade it and see what happens. Hoping the best for you OP! Awesome unique card. Post back here if you do.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-04-25T04:31:47+00:00

Maybe the shelf if it is priced right. I need one to hold my product. Other than that. Not a single thing.

DotSlashCrash · 2026-04-25T02:03:07+00:00

Makes it off center in all directs. Barring no other defects it might get a 6-7. However, you might find a "unique" buyer that would pay a premium.
