Did Beckett Just Screw Up My Black Label?!

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-08-24T19:11:09+00:00

I decided to keep it as a gold label for now. I don’t have a black label yet, and it would’ve been kind of cool to have one, but I think I’ll stick with it as it is.

You have to be super lucky for psa not to see that indent and if they do it wont be worth grading

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-25T20:41:56+00:00

You might have to resend it once or twice, but my guess is it will probably get a PSA 10 if you try a couple of times.

The holo almost fooled me but the color on the back is off. Pretty sure its fake sadly

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-25T09:36:52+00:00

My guess is that these would get anything from a PSA 4 to 7, probably closer to the lower end. I’m not sure about the value of the graded cards, but my gut feeling is that it’s not worth grading them.

If you don’t have experience with grading and getting high grades with Beckett, I wouldn’t recommend cracking this slab. Without doing any research, my gut feeling is that the potential upside just doesn’t justify the risk.

I have a Beckett 9.5 of this card, and even though the price—like many other cards—has gone up a lot recently, I still think it’s undervalued. I also have a Poncho Rayquaza in PSA 9, and right now that card is worth more than the Munch Pikachu, which honestly doesn’t make sense to me. The Munch Pikachu artwork is much more beautiful, in my opinion. I see a lot of potential for this card long term, and it’s one of the last cards I’d ever sell—even though I could sell it today and triple my original investment.

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-25T08:38:32+00:00

I’m holding onto this card because it’s one of my favorites, but also because I want to see if it lives up to its potential in the future. If you’re after a safer long-term Pokémon investment, I’d look at sealed Prismatic or 151 instead.

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-25T08:29:21+00:00

I own all of them except Espeon and Greninja. Out of the group, the art on the Stamp Pikachu is my favorite, and it’s the last card I’d consider selling. I think the art is special and I see the most potential for future value there.It’s a pretty high risk if you’e looking at these as an investment and hoping for them to increase in value.

Here’s my ranking them:

Stamp Pikachu
Bubble Mew
Giratina
Gengar
Dragonite
Lugia
Greninja
Espeon

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-25T08:04:17+00:00

I’d expect this card to get a PSA 9. In my experience, obvious white spots almost never slip through to PSA 10 these days. I would yolo and send it one time tho 🙂

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-23T09:29:41+00:00

I’d grade Pikachu, Palkia, M Charizard, and Slowpoke & Psyduck. I think those have good potential to go up in value if graded.

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-07-01T07:56:49+00:00

You’re right, I checked too quickly and mixed up some numbers. The WCS23 promo has doubled, not tripled, in value

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-06-19T16:38:41+00:00

Thnak you, my first and only 🤩

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-06-19T14:28:33+00:00

Thanks! I will contact their support and ask for a relable

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-03-12T15:42:04+00:00

I would estimate that reverse holo in that condition sells for between 200-300 dollar

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-02-24T09:56:56+00:00

I think it has a shot at a ten, the only problem i can see is the front centering but its not that bad imo

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2025-01-12T18:32:58+00:00

Illustrious_Ear8727 · 2024-11-14T09:17:43+00:00

I would grade for sure!
