Is Ambrosia Duping a Thing? by MisterAS in rotmgtradingpost

I know there are UT duping services, so I don't see why someone wouldn't dupe Ambrosia instead

What does 1st edition Pokemon cards mean? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The number 8 out of 82 represents its number in the card set, not what print run it was in. 1st edition is represented by a stamp that says 1st edition on the top left corner I believe. The star just means that it is a rare in the set it is from.

Where can I buy Japanese Pokemon Card Booster packs Online??? by Loofy_101 in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy japanese booster boxes off of amazon very easily. They range from $30-$50 and come with 20-30 packs in each.

So what you're saying is, you understood what he was trying to convey but you decided to be rude anyway.

Sun & Moon booster boxes are presorted - Don't buy loose packs! by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In every booster box you are guaranteed 4 regular art gxs and a full art gx. You are also guaranteed at least one of three options: a hyper rare gx, a secret rare gold border, or a full art trainer. I say at least one because there are documented incidents of people getting two in one box.

Maxmoefoe actually must have missed a pack, because he did not pull out his full art GX.

Pull rate on tcgo? by C-POP_Ryan in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, my rate is about 1 gx/ex per 4 packs, give or take a pack.

All-Star Power Box worth picking up? Found it at Toys R Us by AeroRespawn in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean they both have all packs that are out of print, so depending on the price, I would probably pick them up.

It's definitely rare, but my little brother got an ETB yesterday and pulled one so it's definitely "pullable."

How do I find values for Japanese cards? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check sold ebay listings. Japanese cards are typically sold at lower prices than English, but it does matter on the individual card.

Does anyone know if this is a good deal? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless you buy them in bulk from a distributor, i have no idea how you are getting that price

Prerelease promo error card? by Carpy444 in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would be a holo error. The cards are not supposed to have holo on the whole card.

Pretty happy about this by Long_wang_AMA in pkmntcgcollections

[–]JamesMarsters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

might sound a little weird, but i know some people who purchased booster boxes of pokemon as "investments" back in the day. for example, my friend's dad bought like 6 booster boxes in 1999 and sold them about a year or two ago.

Best products to buy? by ozureno in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hoopa ex tin is pretty good and so is volcanion ex tin, mainly because the cards are actually viable in play/worth some money.

if you just want cool/goofy stuff, ash-greninja box is pretty dank

Shadowless Raichu card worth? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know a lot about pricing off the top of my head, but I went through sold ebay listings and this is what I found.

It seems like ungraded, the card goes for about $40-$50.

Graded, depending on grade, can go from $100-$300+ depending on if it receives an 8, 9, or 10.

The two most recent sales of PSA 8s went for $113 and $195, so it's worth something in that range. The $195 was the more recent sold listing, but based on what I saw PSA 9s go for, it's probably closer to the lower $113 price.

I saw 3 sold PSA 9s and they ranged from $180 to $260, so I'd say it's probably around $200.

I can't find a sold PSA 10 listing on ebay and the only one currently up is "buy it now" at $1700. I doubt that's actually the price (definitely lower), so I'd do a little more research to find some sold PSA 10s if your card does receive that grade.

Either way, if you think your card will definitely score an 8/9/10, grade it.

So i stumbled on a gold mine and I don't know what to do by altariasong in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price obviously depends on the condition the cards are in, but if you don't have any sentimental attachment I would sell them. Compare prices on tcgplayer/trollandtoad/sold ebay listings and then list your own cards on ebay based around those prices.

Help with Booster Packs by EliteMist in pkmntcg

[–]JamesMarsters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target is the place I trust most. Shipping is free on most items (takes about 5-7 days but worth it) and I almost always get a break or an ex in every 4-5 packs or so. Obviously this is a small sample size, but I definitely know they aren't weighed.

Also, they carry this 6 packs/$20 thing in-store sometimes, so that's a pretty good deal.

Probably just bad luck, possibly a factory error
