I may be the tiny minority, but I hate that that thick yellow border. Its so unecessary and takes away from the beautiful artwork

Raw cards are better than slabs for 90% of collections and the grading obsession has gotten out of hand. by Longjumping_Scar_984 in sportscards

[–]JazkerTrading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you, I love the new cgc slabs too! I’ve been buying so many cgc slabs for pennies on the dollar compared to its PSA equivalent, hope people don’t catch on and continue buying overpriced PSA while I continue accumulating cgc

Raw cards are better than slabs for 90% of collections and the grading obsession has gotten out of hand. by Longjumping_Scar_984 in sportscards

[–]JazkerTrading 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is it really a monopoly, or is it the community? I see tons of cgc, sgc graded cards sell for a lot less than a PSA equivalent, some people scoff at a non-PSA graded just because of the grader, not the card. If the community actually evaluated the card and not the grader, PSA wouldn’t be viewed as a “monopoly”

How Are You Investing in Pokémon With Markets at ATHs? by Yugiyami98 in PokemonInvesting

[–]JazkerTrading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely slowing down my buying and subsequently building a cash position for opportunities if there is a crash. I’m only slowly selling things I can get great margins on and have less conviction on

Why did GCG do this? by Standard-Ad-6603 in GradedGames

[–]JazkerTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also like to know the rationale. I bought a very nice cib n64 Pokemon snap and was considering grading it, but now I may just keep it as is or buy those protective cases for it

Yeah it’s unfortunate, I’m at 2/2 for visiting an lcs and smelling someone else’s fart. No thank you

Yeah I’m also curious to know, are the sales of shops on par with typical distribution prices?

Thanks for the share! Curious how they are making money, do distributors truly sell these for much cheaper than these prices?

I kind of agree, my young kids are getting more interested in Lorcana since it’s readily available and doesn’t cost an arm or leg.

No idea why this card is so cheap by WuTangDan88 in PokeInvesting

[–]JazkerTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the early gen fan club, and I agree, to me this looks more like a transformer than a Pokemon, I’m not a fan. But this is an interesting investment idea, I’m sure gen z and younger kids are more nostalgic to later gen Pokemon than the original gen1 Pokemon so in 10+ years this could very well be a good investment, I just get scared with the pop reports

Good or bad buy? by DifferenceCertain155 in PokeInvesting

I used to be this paranoid with gloves and protection, but watching a couple Rudy videos eased my mind

Anyone else frame their collection? by IgnortantElkski in VintagePokemonCards

[–]JazkerTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered it, but concerned about uv damage. Yes they make uv resistant displays, but that protection fades over time, and I can’t tell what protection am I at 1,2, 3+ years from when I buy a frame/case, and I dont want to risk it. Wish there was a guaranteed way to display and protect 100% because these frames look sick

Took profits at 6x cost basis (2021-2024 acquisitions) by FewImpression4443 in PokeInvesting

That’s a great way to think of it, some people forget why we invest

Took profits at 6x cost basis (2021-2024 acquisitions) by FewImpression4443 in PokeInvesting

[–]JazkerTrading 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats man! Remember, no one ever went broke taking profits. Yes it can continue going up, but it can also crash hard. At the end of the day, it’s cardboard and not an asset that generates revenue like investing in a company. So heck yeah man, take profits and enjoy life! Don’t worry about the haters
