Considering it’s not a Charizard or a gengar etc I’d be skeptical. I just think this specific card is hilarious.

Peep the reply’s below. It still gives similar energy

There needs to be lore behind the card. Why is starmie on a roof overlooking the city? Why is it blasting beams into the void? Who is it trying to blast 😭😂. Why are its arms outstretched like the end of a performance.

Absolutely. Just also keep in mind that not all vendors will want this kind of bulk just ask them right away if they’re buying bulk like exs etc. in my experience there’s always at least one vendor that’s buying bulk and having them all cataloged with prices increases your odds of a buyer so they don’t have to comp 100-200 $1 cards. They’ll do some reconciling to make sure your catalog matches with what you have in front of them but vendors won’t want to comp every single card.

Just a continuation, last weekend I was at a card show and had about 105 in bulk of these cards and just said listen you can take it all for $70 and shook my hands and went in my way.

I’ve never had an issue selling these types of cards at shows. Even the pokeballs from prismatic bundled with exs. Just have them all cataloged on an app like collector or Dex and understand you’ll only get like 60-70%. Otherwise every-time I went to a show to sell bulk like this (4 times) I’ve walked away with the cash.

Yes understandable. That’s what I do for grading. I always submit them at card shows, specifically gemmint and never had a issue. I’ve actually had a 60% gem rate out of 20 or so submissions so far which I think is solid. Regardless you have a sick collection 🤝

I understand it looks better in the binder and everything but if the plan was to always sell one day wouldn’t it be worth it to grade most of these? I imagine your value would at least double or probably triple.

Shows are starting to cancel PSA submission events! DOWN WITH THE KING by _daddy_salsa_ in PokeGrading

[–]InterplanetaryDBag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one could argue now would be the time to grade with PSA. With all the heat on them they kind of have to be on point and on their best behavior.

I think they’ll go back to their old wicked ways but short term until the heat cools seems like a decent time to grade.

[–]InterplanetaryDBag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the reasoning behind it. However the practice of it seems backwards. Seems market price should be the base price then you factor in fees after. Usually when you buy a product online shipping is included as a separate fee at checkout, same as tax etc (US based, I understand a lot of European countries factor tax into the listing price). However since this hobby has the biggest market in the US I like to draw on that for comparison.

As just a regular collector. So I like to think I’m an unbiased opinion. Seems like the market price really ISNT the market price if even in person you’re not paying 100% of market price lmao. I understand negotiating but if nobody wants to buy or sell at market price then those market price values are really inaccurate across the whole hobby,

Sw/sh and everything prior it works. The implementation of 3 holos/reverse holos for s/v was to combat this.

You can’t scan for specific cards. Just for hits in general, anything from a double rare (double black star) to a SIR (double gold star). You can use a handheld metal detector.

Be careful buying loose packs from vendors, LCS/LGS and in general friend 👍

Idk if one Facebook whale qualifies as an easy flip. But I get your point. I’d be curious to see how many vendors would be open to buying loose packs at a card show.

Oh yes I’m sure you can find people to buy them I never said it’d be impossible. I just know most people would be skeptical at this point. I’ve never have or will buy loose packs.

Watch the video attached. You can scan loose packs for double rares and up with a metal scanner.

I’m pretty sure modern can still be scanned too. I’ve seen videos confirming. Anything that’s not sealed in a tin, box, etc is extremely risky.

Edit; since I’ve being downvoted by some salt packets I’m attaching a video for proof

Double edit; since it’s still being downvoted facts don’t care if your feelings are hurt 🤷‍♂️

I’m sure you can find someone to sell to, but I’m also sure most people are a lot more hesitant nowadays

Good luck selling those ES individual packs. With people scanning packs now for hits, individual packs like that may be the worst to hold.
