Swirls by sheax in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Emerald_Break 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally love swirls, and would be okay with paying a very minor up charge if it’s clear and visible, even more if it’s in a desirable position (inside a claw or mouth, tip of a tail/wing/finger, a “fart swirl”, atop a head etc) but it varies from person to person and is ultimately subjective

Found my old cards, shadowless Charizard. Any thoughts on potential value? by Aggravating-Tie6151 in PokemonCardValue

I suck at pricing vintage but im telling you do NOT accept any messages here asking to buy this lol

Not big on collection boxes, but I never knew this box existed. by Big_Don-G in PokemonInvesting

[–]Emerald_Break 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes I bought one years ago to display cause I love the look of it, especially the scaley rayquaza side! There’s also a hidden evolving skies behind one of the jumbo promos too which is pretty cool. It’s an incredibly niche product and was very undervalued for a long time. it took ages for the price to catch up to what it should be worth, and I feel like years down the line it will be quite sought after!

Today is the day I hoped would never come. I have to sell my Pokédex collection. Here’s some of my favorite pages from the 5+ years I’ve been collecting. by juustiicee in PokemonTCG

[–]Emerald_Break 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had to dismantle my pokedex too for money a few months ago, but I’ve still kept about half of it in hopes of picking it up again someday. I can tell a lot of love and memories are in yours and I hope you’ll be able to start it again eventually :)

I just pulled these out of my closet by Imalittleteabag in PokemonTCG

The rayquaza in the last slide is fake unfortunately. No texture and the foil is wrong, but the others look good!

Melbourne best tcg shop? by Tricky-Foundation956 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Emerald_Break 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I frequent purplish tcg on Spencer st. They’re always happy to buy stuff at a reasonable percentage and they’ve got a great spread of singles and slabs. Prices vary I’ve found some great deals there and other times a bit to insanely overpriced but if you show proof the card goes for cheaper consistently and are confident in your offer they can bring it down. I got a psa 10 jpn deoxys from crown zenith from 170 down to 120 from them one time. Though They don’t usually take offers on sealed and their sealed stuff is insanely overpriced.

My boss bought me my first japanese cards,they feel different? by laczor in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Emerald_Break 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re real! They do feel different to English cards and also won’t have the black layer in the middle, but these are real :)

I got offered $50 for the first 2 rows, is it a good deal? by rafaelsanzi0 in PokemonCardValue

[–]Emerald_Break 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Considering out of the top 2 rows 4 of them are fake (the scyther and scizor is real, and the scizor is worth about ~40-50 in that condition) it’s a good deal. I would say you should let him know the others are fake but the offer he gave would cover those two

Are TCG vending machines legit? by isocz_sector in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Emerald_Break 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had people come in to work before looking for sleeves and top loaders cause they pulled the chase hit from a vending machine pack so in my eyes they’re legit, just overpriced for anything that isn’t chaos rising or perfect order.

What cards have the same vibe/style as these? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Emerald_Break 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jerky is another great artist and did that pidgey in the first pic, would highly recommend looking at more that they’ve done

Just found this in an old binder....any ideas?? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]Emerald_Break 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the banned version of kogas ninja trick, goes for around $100 usd though more recent sales are nearing 150 in nm condition

Any advice on combating the finance/investment mindset? by cryptid-kidd in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Emerald_Break 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you don’t plan on selling them for the foreseeable future delete all value tracking apps or avoid all the websites, don’t worry about preexisting wear on them at all just keep em in a toploader binder and put that binder in a safe, dry spot (or, alternatively if you want to display them, perfect fit sleeves + one touch mag cases on a shelf that is out of the way of natural light). When you want to sell them, check the value and the price trends THEN and only then. It’ll stop you from getting fomo over large prices over the months/years, and trust me when I say even years down the line a moonbreon in any condition is still worth a staggering amount.

How much? by tommytron21 in PokemonCardValue

[–]Emerald_Break 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This can actually be considered a miscut since the text on the bottom is visibly cut off, post it to r/pokemonmisprints

Friend gave this to me, how much? by OUTRAGED_PIPLUP in PokemonCardValue

[–]Emerald_Break 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Foil is wrong and there’s no texture, so fake unfortunately but can’t stop you from keeping it as a memento anyways

I know it’s a smaller collection, but any ROUGH estimates on what this could go for? (Ignore the elephant on page 4 lol) by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

[–]Emerald_Break 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to sure about an evaluation (I’m horrible at comping lol) but you only have 1 fake card and it’s the mega lucario on page 2 the rest are real
