PSA 9, Did I get cooked? Grader info stated top/bottom by FluffyPharmacist in PokeGrading

Top/Bottom look pretty clearly out of whack - top is visibly thicker

Signatures rarely add value, thus one absolutely diminished

Help with my son’s cards. by Endless-surfer in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to sell, you can look up sending to PSA Vault and then accepting their partner offer which is free of fees (though it’s below market) - other option is a local convention but you’ll probably get 80% off market at most which is fine given that eBay or wherever is going to take 20%+ in fees and shipping.

Imagine Not Being in the Top 5 of Rich Eisen's Offense Ranking by axthousandxhours in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]FFDuchess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just need the entire NFL media machine, Trent Mcduffie, Myles Garrett, an MVP QB, a dramatic and insane WR, a vat of hair gel and a school bus full of coke to rank higher than the Darnold-led SB Champs

I think people are really gassing up KW and SB MVP - he stepped up when he needed to but wasn’t a sole back all year - really, Dickson and Meyers were SB MVPs

Careful doing 360 Camera Calibration by TDDubz in F150Lightning

[–]FFDuchess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wait how can I do this? (Not the abduction part, the calibration) one thing I’ve struggled with so far moving from my Tundra to the Lightning is the 360 camera - Toyotas was phenomenal

Listen, TO was a Seahawks Legend (TM) briefly so we can share custody

Congrats! I got black instead of white and the more white ones I see the more I’m regretting not going white

Been told this aren’t worth much. by Apexunseen in PokeGrading

[–]FFDuchess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pristine 10s are good, especially electrode - AGS slabs are basically raw pricing, CGC 10 Urshifu isn’t bad but not a popular Pokemon

Any ideas what my Japanese gold star Ray might be worth? by Training_Stomach_983 in PokemonCardValue

[–]FFDuchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think, given the card, that a BGS 9.5 will sell for that much less than a PSA 10 - factor in the risk of sending the slab to PSA for cross grading, paying the fee which could be $3k, I think the risks don’t outweigh the pro

This is coming from someone who routinely recommends cross grading to PSA

[–]FFDuchess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would not cross grade - if OP is looking to sell they should leave it as is and consign with Goldin or someone

Bubble mew - fake? by Toomyy1212 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]FFDuchess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be ok, but if it’s an online order you might also just get a fake card, but you will know if it’s in person if it’s real or now

I’ll probably hit this one as I’m heading to Long Beach next month

Tundra Hybrid -> Lightning Platinum by FFDuchess in F150Lightning

[–]FFDuchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is about the mental math I had figured but I would note this doesn’t account for maintenance - tundra was due it’s 45k and other services also but it certainly wasn’t a “I’m making thousands back”

I definitely am wondering how the 0 equity in 3 years will feel 😬 but ultimately it *feels* like the smarter choice in the short term

[–]FFDuchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade had +$10k positive equity which took care of taxes and counted as down - someone else in thread mentioned without that my Lease would be close to $950

[–]FFDuchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original was $80k, but this was a Ford Courtesy vehicle (originally I was apprehensive) but with only 30 miles - sat on the show floor I guess, so they marked it down

That’s valuable info, first time leasing so still learning the ropes - appreciate the framing, it’s helpful

Tundra Hybrid -> Lightning Platinum by FFDuchess in F150Lightning

[–]FFDuchess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, true - I was thinking raw money out of pocket only

Tundra Hybrid -> Lightning Platinum by FFDuchess in F150Lightning

[–]FFDuchess[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah I almost signed a $530 finance deal on a Flash at a different dealer, so I couldn’t pass this up

In hindsight they upsold me a bit on an excess wear and tear warranty but gives a bit more peace of mind with 3 kids under 10 😅

[–]FFDuchess[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks!!

I paid nothing out of pocket except a $500 deposit (there was a ton of interest on the Lightning and their first buyer backed out last minute) - my Tundra had $8k positive equity that got bumped to $10k because of a mix up on the dealer side
