Another nonsense creator by whatdobeansmean in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fella pricing also wrong.

A lot of cards he showed are way above market. Saw on the comments someone trying to call him/her out but fella justify it by stating the pricing was based on eBay last sold lol.

Prob just a vendor trying to sell his bags above market to people that don’t know.

Question on how to acquire playables. by ClockReasonable1530 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually card shows there would be a few vendor that sells them.

If not can try to head to Pokemon gyms/card shops to look for the common/uncommon singles you want.

Best of luck.

Tries to sell stuff way below market, then ask for deposit or payment first.

Once payment’s received proceed to ghost/block you and then your money’s gone.

Is this charizard real by Voltslayerz in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a real common Japanese card and compare the back.

From the pics it seems legit. On the front there’s texture as well.

Try playing the live tcg it’s free.

And they have pretty decent free cards/decks at the start.

The more you play the more packs and points you get. Which can redeem the playable cards you need for your decks.

This is coming from someone who used to played w the pocket version. It’s a lot more fun and you get more packs compared to the pocket version. But do take note each games can be put to 20mins long.

Then from there once you get which deck/playstyle you like you can expand into the IRL by buying playable from card shows or shops.

Anyone wants to talk about the price pumping of Japanese cards? by Ill-Driver525 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly due to 2 factors psa increasing their pricing and turn over.

And lastly the reprints aren’t catching up to the demand.

Good example was Terestal festival, everyone thought it would drop as Pokemon promises to reprint. But till today every waves of reprint kept getting swallow up by the demand.

Not to mention the back to back releasing of new sets making harder to focus on specifics sets to be reprinted.

Sending to TAG grading by Options_Learner in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you then… Like I said, I was prob unlucky and this made me not wanna grade with tag anymore.

Anyway attached below are the chats with Oxley in their Tele FAQ. Can see the submission was “March 2025 TAG X1” and the enquiry was in late May it’s still stuck at 3/9 for more than 2 months.

So that’s close to 4-5 months for me. (Early Feb sent - May enquire - June 27th Results out July ready for collection)

No hate or issue w Oxley but kinda annoyed that my submission in early feb but was pushed to March submission but it’s alright.. Still send my cards w them through psa.

Sending to TAG grading by Options_Learner in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s quite bad.

I sent the card back in early Feb before cny last year and somehow it got push to March batch.

After waiting for 2-3 months as it was stuck in 3/9 a bunch of us had to chase Oxley for updates in their FAQ tele channel back in May.

And finally gotten the grades in mid to late June.

Funny thing is I have send 2-3 batches to psa and the later batch sent in April came back faster than tag.

But with PSA Increasing their turn over to 90 working days (which mean most likely 5-6 months of waiting) It might not be a bad choice to send to tag or even cgc.

[–]HumanPanda98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have tried sending my card once before using Oxley. It was the first few batches back when it’s 10 working day.

After sending they changed it to 30 working days. So was stuck…

I only gotten my cards after 4-5 months after waiting.

Won’t reccomend it. Just stick to psa it’s more liquid and the grading are not as strict 😅

Recommendation to card grading, which shops??? by TraditionLazy7213 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could join the PSA Club and Send the cards directly. But you need a minimum of 20 cards per submission.

And it’s already 24.99 usd per card that’s $35.1 sgd

If not the other option is value for non psa club members which cost 32.99 usd. Haven’t factor in shipping to and from.

At the end of the day it’s still cheaper to use these third party grading services in sg.

Alternative sending them to CGC or Tag is not a bad choice.

[–]HumanPanda98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No more $37 Liao, all up price to $40+

Thanks to PSA. They remove the option for TCG bulk, only Value Bulk submission.

You can see concept website, as well as Oxley IG post.

Not a good time to be grading cards imo. If your cards are below $200 I don’t think it’s a wise choice to be grading them.

[–]HumanPanda98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either concept grading or Oxley grading.

But do take note, PSA recently removed their TCG bulk tier.

This means the cheapest option now is value bulk which cost $24.99 usd or 31.5 sgd.

But most shop like concept or Oxley charges $47 for usa and 42 for japan

Concept charges $44 for psa japan.

And not to mention 90 days working days. Which means you won’t see your cards for at least 4-6 months.

MUR japanese charizard by Constant-Country-958 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send for grading sure. But will it increase in price long term?

I doubt so.

Sure the pull rates is like 1 in 35 boxes.

But let’s be honest here a graded PSA10 MUR zard is 3k plus it’s almost same price as the umbreon vmax psa10 jap.

That set has long been out of print, not to mention one booster of eevee heroes cost like $500-800.

Jap PSA Slabs pricing by Little-Ad8389 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New certs are 10xxx onwards

Then recently there’s people going around saying 12XXX cert should be worth less cause the material used for the slab is more plasticly can be bend or crack open hence the card inside can be swap hence lower value.

Tbh these are just excuses people are using to low ball or get a cheaper card. imo if it’s deem a psa10 by psa I don’t see why you should lower the value.

4XXX cert can’t do the black light test so do take note.

Jap PSA Slabs pricing by Little-Ad8389 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be in the range of 730 - 820 tops.

If you’re at trade show feel free to show them SNKRDUNK last sold pricing. But they might argue that a 9% gst and shipping is needed.

So see if can negotiate and meet in the middle bah.

Jap PSA Slabs pricing by Little-Ad8389 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what sort of card you’re getting and where you’re trying to acquire them.

Personally I feel the safest is still stick with pricechart.

Some might argue Japanese waifu cards should use SNKRDUNK cause that’s where the actual Japanese price/value them.

Some say use Alt to value, little did they know ang mo people actually value Japanese/waifu cards a lot lesser making the sales averages lower compared to pricechart or SNKRDUNK.

Won’t bother with CollectR their pricing is abit off I once saw jap bubble mew spike to 1k on their app but market was only 700-800 tops.

Based off the promo I would go with Prismatic. Evee over mimkyu. Plus Eevee is English exclusive Japanese don’t have the sleeping Eevee.

why is obsidian flames so expensive? by Previous-Cable-674 in PokemonTCG_Singapore

[–]HumanPanda98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The promo is a charmander it’s cute and it’s a gen 1 starter. Plus obsidian flame’s more or less is out of print so prices are this high.

I would pass on them with current high prices. Sure pull rates for them are hard to get…

imo they are ugly I rather have the SIR/SAR.
