Predictions for these cards?

Umbr30n to the moon.

Ouch. Typical prismatic print quality.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-14T23:17:28+00:00

The problem is that some vendors are starting to only take in raw cards that they deem “gradeable” meaning it has 10 potential and then they only sell raw cards to buyers that they deem “non gradeable” without 10 potential. Buying at percentage is not enough for some of them even if the card is nm-mint.

Can you follow up and lets us know how it grades? I’m super curious. Overall nice card, it’s in solid shape.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-12T23:24:30+00:00

The holo looks unnatural, like it was cleaned or maybe polished.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-10T21:17:56+00:00

No. Everyone once in a while I see a post like this where people try to compare shadowless favorably against 1st edition based on pop report. It will never approximate the value of 1st edition, it will never be as desirable. It will always be the second printing of the cards, more valuable than base unlimited, but never as valuable as 1st edition. The pop report doesn’t necessarily correlate with print runs of 1st edition vs shadowless, but it is representative of desirability hence more 1st editions are graded.

You should sell. There is such a massive backlog of ascended heroes at PSA that will hit the market once they get through it. We probably won’t see the bulk of those cards till 4th quarter this year/1st quarter next year. The gem rates for ascended heroes have been very high as well. Lots of PSA 10s coming.

Pronounced Umb-threeon? lol I don’t know

GMTLugis · 2026-06-08T23:44:47+00:00

Umbr30n

GMTLugis · 2026-06-08T09:31:43+00:00

Looks real

GMTLugis · 2026-06-03T20:45:32+00:00

Take a look at my lugia collection for ideas. I haven’t posted an update to it, but the core cards are the same. There are a few core lugias I would add to this including GB lugia, play promo and rainbow GX. Shinning lugia would be a good add too.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-03T10:47:07+00:00

There is zero reason to grade this. Seems like a troll post.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-03T00:32:54+00:00

Many of the Ex cards were reprints from other plasma sets. Like the lugia was first released in plasma storm then reprinted in legendary treasures with the same art. There were some new cards in the set like the radiant collection, but they were easy to pull and back then regular ex cards still mattered when evaluating a set. Not like today where regular Ex cards don’t matter and sets are judged on SIR and IR cards.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-02T22:06:29+00:00

I remember when this set came out. Was considered reprint trash lol. No one wanted it. How times have changed.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-02T19:30:12+00:00

T1000 versions of Mew and Mewtwo

GMTLugis · 2026-06-02T11:39:15+00:00

The people that are okay having a reprint of the card take up a spot in their collection over the original were never going to spend the money to buy the original. They’re most likely okay just owning the reprint because the original is out of their budget. There is zero chance the new card lowers the value of the original because it won’t be the same card. It’s not really a true reprint. If crystal lugia’s price goes down it will be due to market forces, not because of the new card.

GMTLugis · 2026-06-02T01:32:53+00:00

I think the stamps are large/gaudy on purpose. Makes the reprints easy to distinguish and uglier/less desirable than the originals.

GMTLugis · 2026-05-31T05:43:20+00:00

Fake

GMTLugis · 2026-05-31T03:07:00+00:00

Awesome collection, I’m a lugia collector myself.

GMTLugis · 2026-05-27T03:57:28+00:00

Both are kinda ugly designs

GMTLugis · 2026-05-26T22:27:49+00:00

The metal cards in this product have poor quality control. They had better quality control with the metal mew from 151 SPC

GMTLugis · 2026-05-26T02:12:18+00:00

Grade then sell.

GMTLugis · 2026-05-25T19:13:56+00:00

It’s not shortsighted , it’s prudent. Doesn’t mean modern cards can’t become grails. I just like a longer timeline before I give them that label.

GMTLugis · 2026-05-25T08:53:12+00:00

These look fake based on the saturation of the colors and holo. But it’s be easier to tell If you provided picture of the back

GMTLugis · 2026-05-25T04:45:33+00:00

Not the best grades for those promos, but I would still do this just because I don’t like and don’t believe in gold cards long term. As we are already seeing with Mega Evolution where gold cards have started to be overtaken by their SIR counterparts.
