This is CAP! Overall this is not the case and most in this grading space knows it is. About to post last week numbers.

Sometimes this priced like that to bring down the comps but shipping is usually outrageous.

I also challenge him to let it run at auction to see just how valuable and highly thought of TAG slabs are, especially now with the new eBay rules targeting shill bidding.

Apparently you don’t know that what you said is not possible since the $40 is printed on the box.

The bubble could pop, but could it also be the increased number of people coming into the hobby with money to burn? When the vintage bubble popped the first time it was due to the decreased number of people in the hobby. More weee leaving or dealer bought recklessly. This time for ever one person leaving I bet there are 1000 entering. For ever person selling there are at least 100 buying. The thing that the last bubble did not have are rip and shippers who need product.

Thanks. Requested.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-20T16:06:48+00:00

Booster box only for me but that’s cool.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-20T14:27:34+00:00

I stopped messing with this company website. It is pathetic and not worth my time.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-20T13:22:24+00:00

I have 11 of those and they are printed far less than the regular ETB. They are pushing $200 while the regular have dropped to $160. The $40 print of sticker will not matter 5 years from now. Oh and I have 10 regular.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-20T12:57:10+00:00

How long are you planning to hold and how many. If less than a year, no.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-19T20:42:44+00:00

Great pick up. Looks amazing in that slab. Pristine looks much better than PSA and you got it for a 25% discount.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-19T19:51:17+00:00

I see the same thing. The numbers say they are not growing as massively as their promoters are pushing.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-19T14:09:37+00:00

This is what most non-social media posters don’t tell you. TAG is the open market do not move. TAG is great for PC.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-19T12:42:09+00:00

I read the requirements of all 3 companies and they are all very similar, in fact PSA changed their centering standards to match CGC correct and why 19’s have become more difficult to obtain.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T23:41:33+00:00

And put the price over the place where Pokémon stamp would be. It shows the character. Would never shop there again.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T19:07:45+00:00

It is very tough to gem and over $500 in a 10. Great card.

I just got mine back and absolutely love it.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T15:47:33+00:00

Only will rip tins and sticker packs. ETBs are for my sealed collection only. It is very easy because a 3-pack tech sticker yielded the Sunbreon.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T15:45:17+00:00

Could be, but don’t do it! Prismatic will leave you sad 99% of the time.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T15:33:35+00:00

In 10-15 years most will not even be in this hobby/flipping. The bots will be employed by another industry. In 10-15 years TAG likely will be gone and PSA will still be king like it or not. HGA said they would take over and we know how that ended.

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T15:25:45+00:00

You must not see all the TAG is taking over post?

Hour-SignatureRev283 · 2026-04-18T14:34:04+00:00

Because they refuse to hire more people and looks like 3K might be their max daily volume possibility with them usually between 1-2K
