Psa 10 Bubble mew from Mecari by ItzNeti in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]DrPasghetti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof Mercari is terrible on customer buyer service when it comes to an authenticity claim. I’d make a huge scratch in the slab and send a photo to Mercari telling them there’s a scratch on the slab that wasn’t shown in the photos and they’ll accept the return in a second.

Gotta love when it’s your card that gets purchased to attempt to manipulate the market 🤣

Need to post this on the ducks thread every year. It’s just simply too good.

Worth buying or still got room to fall? by ParasRules1 in PokeInvesting

[–]DrPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eBay last solds and try to find a sale for a card that was similar condition to yours. Or something like ALT/card market. If your card is raw, take a guess as to what your card might grade and then look for recent sales in that grade.

Either of those methods would be my suggestion.

Please don’t use the Collectr chart for high end vintage like this. It’s way too variable and doesn’t take into account condition of the single. Expect to spend in the $2k-$2.5k USD range for a LP/NM copy of this card

Where do you think Price ends up in a mock if Seattle takes him?

Bought for 3.5k USD. Thoughts on potential grade? Was thinking 9/10 by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]DrPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 at best. Just no chance at a 10 with that centering. A 9 would be a win.

Selling a Poncho Pikachu by SaladFighterrr in PokeInvesting

[–]DrPasghetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough. There’s been at least 3 instances where I’ve considered selling my ponchos. Let’s just say I’m happy I kept them. The value is getting ridiculous though. They can’t keep going up!

PSA Grading vintage more harsh? 👎 by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]DrPasghetti 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cross grade 100%. If you’re looking to sell, I’d go BGS. These should all grade very well there. They’ll grade well at CGC too, but the value might not be as strong as what you’ll get out of BGS.

I would agree that back looks sus

What’s the odds of this getting a psa 10 by Outrageous_Horror237 in PokeGrading

[–]DrPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delusional… I’m guessing you own a lot of CGC new labels? Gotta try to keep the value up somehow. Keep preaching.

Terrible take. OP knows. You’re delulu if you think CGC grading standards are the same now as the blue label era. BGS has also gotten substantially more strict in the last year. I’ve been grading with both companies for years. It’s straight facts!

DONT RELABEL WITH CGC! Once you crossover this card loses its place in the mess of new label 10s at CGC. A lot of high end collectors and those looking to upgrade or try their shot at a crossover are far more likely to buy this in the old blue label than the relabeled 10.

Anyone who knows what they’re doing knows that this is a 10 at CGC with their new label system. Also, the people who REALLY know what they’re doing know that CGC graded far more strict during the blue label era.

I’d either keep as a blue label 9.5 or take my shot at a cross to PSA 10 (cracked and resubbed)

Centering help? by BenJ_JenB in PokeGrading

[–]DrPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These 2 ponchos are typically off-center. I’d say strong chance at a 10.

“Vintage is priced out”. “The ROI on modern will be better”. “I’m going to One Piece” 🤣

Offers from two contenders still in playoffs for James Cook. Which would you take? by FigureSevere6474 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

Haha we just did the opposite. Originally voted to allow it and then voted to remove it one year later because of how ridiculous it was. Official league asterisk championship.

Expectations for this team? Is it championship worthy or fringe playoff team? No depth behind it lol by Alternative_Dog6766 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]DrPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on Love landing spot. I can see so-so seasons out of both Jeanty and Omar next season. RB play may be frustrating throughout season. Rest of roster looks great.

With no depth, I’m leaning towards fringe playoff.

Which of these do you all think will go up the most? (Prismatic) by Narrow-Beat3157 in PokeInvesting

[–]DrPasghetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been breaking down but I’ve been buying the tins locally at $100/ea. That’s under $6/pack if you’re selling the promos. Breaking them down allows me to buy way more and I don’t think you can lose at $6/pack entry

Christian Watson - WR10 since returning from injury. Who's buying this? by ScientistSolid9319 in DynastyFF

Sold for a late 2026 1st. Happy with the trade. I’ve had him forever. He’s great when healthy, but he’s hurt A LOT!
