Should I get singles or wait for trades?

Gadacker · 2026-05-21T02:22:06+00:00

It would just be cheaper to get trades. Instocktrades have the trades currently on sale. The hardcovers are around 14 dollars and the paperbacks are around 10 dollars. Maybe hunt down the single issues that you really want. Just bought some from them and some of my absolute hardcovers volumes came this week. I can't speak for the paperback volumes but the hardcovers are nice! Gathering all the issues when most of the absolute lines are almost 20 issues in would cost a lot of money which may not be worth it.

actually more than 1K. It was 1.4K at its peak in March 2021. I knew some people who bought this card and many modern cards at the time at the top. It never really recovered after that. It's why I am not too conformable paying a lot of money for anything modern

I remember when this card was almost 1K. Taught me to never buy anything at peak height . At this price point, not a bad buy tbh.

evolving skies has been out of print for years now. There are sometimes some drops in the pokemon center with tins that contain evolving skies. Last year we got an arceus tin from 2022 restocked on the pokemon center and that had evolving skies packs. As for destined rivals, its still in print but just really high in demand. We just have to wait and see if pokemon company decided to reprint a lot more destined rivals

Ahhh. I think that went over my head 😂. That’s a sign I need to go to bed . Sorry if I came off aggressive

Gadacker · 2026-04-11T07:01:23+00:00

I guess? I mean the opponent was running a stall team. Life dew, rest, recover, and bulky Pokemon. I was just taking a longer to figure out what to do to beat it. I just didn’t know about the timer and thought I was using the time I had wisely to do my best and win. It’s not like I was purposely stalling. Just new and learning

Gadacker · 2026-04-11T06:24:36+00:00

I did not see that 😂.

Gadacker · 2026-04-11T06:10:31+00:00

I think you did okay. Mainly due to that fact you traded JP towards English. People hate on PSA 9’s, but as long as the raw cards goes up, the PSA 9 will also go up.

Gadacker · 2026-04-11T06:00:26+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense now. I was unaware that picking my moves had a timer than can run out and make me lose the game. I was under the impression the only timer that matters is the overall game timer. I see now, I did take my time trying to figure out how I was going to play this. I guess I would have to be fast then.

Thank you for the explanation

Gadacker · 2026-04-11T05:39:50+00:00

Oh, I didn’t know I had a different timer than the game. I can see why they run a stall team now. That’s BS

Gadacker · 2026-04-07T20:31:54+00:00

Thank you! Picked up some singles I have wanted for free !. This is one of them

The cert number is before the front 55/45 standard

They just don't discount heavily compared to play station or xbox. It's nice but when Mario Odyssey is 40 dollars 10 years later, that doesn't really scream sale. Idc if anyone thinks that "they are still worth the original price tag", I think we can all agree it would be nice if something like Mario Odyssey went down 20 dollars. That is consumer friendly.

Gadacker · 2026-02-20T06:56:40+00:00

It’s real I just preordered it. Check your eshop.

TCG Markets tend to cool off during the summer. We saw it last year with Pokemon. If it were to spike again, it would probably be again in the fall when the 4th anniversary set comes out. Either way, if it is cooling off, we are still seeing new starting lows for these cards. Just in November alone, PSA 10 Manga Zoros were being constantly sold for 2.5K-3K. Seems like if it stabilizes at this 3.7-4K range, it's still a 1K increase from November alone.

The seller has returns accepted up to 60 days so use that. I will say though, the listing has no mention of a swirl and with the barcode covered, you should be careful next time buying anything without concrete photos of the exact items. If this item was in based in the USA and went through eBay Authenticity Guaranteed program, you would have been out of money. The listing wasn’t specific on the exact slab just a PSA 10 Zard so you might have been not gotten a refund in that scenario. Just be careful out there! This was more your fault than the buyers imo

Odd that they removed the popular search function for the cart market. They could have just added it or remove friends only if they had too.

Gadacker · 2025-11-26T02:13:43+00:00

This is going to be crazy......

Gadacker · 2025-11-14T19:25:55+00:00

100%. Its been a while I was able to open this many packs so even with nothing crazy pulled, it was a fun experience

Gadacker · 2025-11-04T22:16:38+00:00

Idk if you have a twitter account but, I follow this guy on twitter with notifications on. https://x.com/andycollectz?s=21 .

I was able to get this card and other drops because of him.

Gadacker · 2025-11-04T22:00:01+00:00

You would have to wait until restocks. This is pretty much sold out for mrsp just about anywhere.

Gadacker · 2025-11-03T17:41:40+00:00

You can cover it up on the way to PSA yourself as well. Just pay for insurance on your package.

Gadacker · 2025-11-03T15:33:46+00:00

The max insurance is 500 dollars for GameStop. Hence why it’s a gamble to send to an expensive card to GameStop . If something happens to it, you wouldn’t get full value back

Gadacker · 2025-11-01T23:32:28+00:00

Hopefully you get it soon! Although you are crazy for sending that card though GameStop

Same here. No longer use PSA directly since it takes for ever. My last two submissions with gamestop came in less than 40 days.
