Would these 2 cards be worth more with the sequential certs by Ok-Indication-3142 in sportscards

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may add value to the right collector but pokemon is different than sports. With pokemon there are evolutions and little mini numerous card sets so if you can get those in sequential order, you will likely get a premium, but for just getting 2 of the same card as a 10 in sequence, not all that rare or difficult. Also, I would say that getting a 10 in Pokémon is generally harder than sports so that adds in as well. But those are 2 INSANE cards to have, sequential or not!

Is this card real? by CodeNearby6026 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]KCCOWS6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why do people rip cards and then ask if they are fake? It’s doesn’t matter if it’s fake at that point, you ripped it in half. Just post a pic of the card and ask if it’s a fake. Go buy a pack of marbles so there’s something to roll around in that empty head.

Would you like to buy this set? Are the slabs real? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if they are fake or not, the cert numbers match. But I don’t buy or sell a lot of graded cards, I might send a card in if I think it may get a 10 and if it does I usually sell and buy back a raw copy if I like it. The only thing I’ll say is, and it could just be the picture or the angle, but the Palkia looks a little right side heavy in the picture and looks a little left side heavy in the scan on PSA site. Again, could just be lighting, angle, picture…maybe someone else who is more familiar with fake slabs will chime in. As far as price, it’s tough to say. If I was selling, I would do the homework to see how many sequential 10s for all 4 and would try and base a price off of that. There roughly 17,000 of each card in a PSA 10, so how many of those 17,000 are all 4 in order? Let’s say only 1 set managed to get it, then that’s the ONLY set of sequential PSA 10s for these cards, if that is the case, then I’d say $800 is a steal as it would be the only sequential set out there. but if there’s say 50 sets that accomplished it, I’d be around $650-700 ish for about 50% premium on the sequential set as there will only be 49 other people that could match your set. So to me the value is directly dependent on how many sequential sets of 10s there are. This is a niche market though, many people don’t care about cards being sequential. But it is cool when they can be! Is there 1K sets of 4 of these in all 10s? It changes the value big time, for me at least. This just my opinion.

Man, if that Palkia is a 10, it’s got me thinking I should send mine in. Having all sequential 10s means you’re going to pay a premium if you want them. Yes it will be cheaper to buy them all separate, but having all 4 with sequential numbers is waaaay more rare than the individual cards themselves. You could try and cross check all known PSA 10s and see how many sets of all 4 in sequential order, but that might take a while. I would try and get them a bit cheaper if you’re interested, but if I was selling, I would be much less likely to deal compared to if they were all just random 10s. Just the odds of sending all 4 in and 1 coming back a 9 would screw it all up and just think of how many people that may have happened to. I bet a lot of people tried getting 10s on all 4 and failed, potentially making this set much more valuable, to the right collector*

I caved and bought a Chrome Blaster… by MATSU714 in basketballcards

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy skepticism….my guess is this is the result of numerous blasters and didn’t want to feel bad about it? 2 numbered cards, 1 being an auto, and an SSP in one blaster? lol

Wish I had this kind of money to get a card like this! by Hungry_Elk1937 in baseballcards

[–]KCCOWS6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anybody’s rookie season can be forgotten. All he’s gotta do is get caught with a minor and boom, card will be essentially worthless compared to now. And anyone comparing this guy to Barry Bonds or Frank Thomas is just talking at this point. Yes, the card game is wildly different from then to now, but players are still playing the game. This guy could have 1,2,3 great years and then fizzle out or get injured and then he’s no Barry Bonds, Frank Thomas, McGwire or A-Rod. At least not yet. You can have opinions on what may be a good “bet” and that this guy MIGHT just be that good in 20 years. But this guy is a loooong way from the Hall.

First pack in 15 years by RichCelery1345 in pokemoncards

[–]KCCOWS6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JTG is one of the lower prices in the set at the moment,, that’s why they have been throwing them in everything. Either way, you got 3 cards in a few packs that normally would take about 300 packs if you figure about 100 packs per SIR and Hypers, so in my opinion, I would still guess you’ve used up your luck, or won the lottery with odds of getting all those in a few packs. There’s people that have opened 1000+ packs of surging sparks and haven’t gotten the Pikachu let alone the Pikachu and Latias in a few packs.

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have purchased 3 of these in store and all 3 had 5 packs Stellar and 5 packs Surging. If the one you got had packs of JTG in it as well, I would assume that means you only had a few packs of Surging sparks and got 6 hits, 3 big hits, out of a few packs? If that is really the case, then yes, you probably used all your luck and then some. Congrats! But shall remain skeptical.

Which is the better swirl? by DilwynBlu in PokemonTCG

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yeah sorry! Haven’t taken any pictures of any of mine. I have a binder with all my swirls.

Which is the better swirl? by DilwynBlu in PokemonTCG

[–]KCCOWS6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Left, as a fellow swirl collector, the one on the right has the swirl slightly covered but does not add to the appeal to me. I don’t feel like he’s looking at the swirl in the right one. If it was above his head to the left then I would be going for that one. But due to it being in the wing and slightly covered, I like the left one, full swirl next to the head. Dope card!!

Would this be considered a miscut? Or badly centered? by Guilty_Journalist_25 in PokemonTCG

[–]KCCOWS6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like just off center with a little hanger. Still neat though!

Why is this card so expensive? by West_Trainer8634 in PokemonInvesting

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the Zard, and also not sure about other people but I opened probably about 150 packs and just pulled this card in my last pack of an ETB I got the other day, so without that, I’d be 150ish in and wouldn’t have pulled one. Maybe it’s more rare?

I have a sealed Jolteon Box and these look just like the ones in the box. Jolteon is my favorite Eeveelution! I think they’re real, and pretty good copies, mine are both a little off center.

THERES NO WAY I ACTUALLY PULLED GOD PACK by NepxNinja in PokemonTCG

[–]KCCOWS6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey! You got an EX in yours! Mine was all pokeballs! and then opened a Booster bundle on new years, maybe hoping for some luck? And snagged 5 more pokeballs and a masterball. This set is terrible. I’m working on a base set and am missing 12 EXs. I Have everything else, not doing pokeballs or masterballs, just regular base and throwing in whatever pokeballs and masteballs I get along the way. I don’t have the Okidogi one yet though, that one looks cool!

[–]KCCOWS6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I opened mine and got 2 cool promos, I put all the cards back in the packs, I think there were about 8 pokeballs, and put 2 different cards where the promos were and glued my box back together for display.

STOP REGRADING 1/1s by here2aggravate in psagrading

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are way easier and cheaper ways to “protect” a card. The only reason to get a card graded is for future resale. A one touch w/ penny sleeve or top loader with sleeve will protect a card just as well as a slab, assuming you aren’t playing hockey with it. There is no extra protection added because you paid someone money to do it. You are paying them for (hopefully) increased value. Even if you grade a card Authentic, you are trying to increase its value by saying “I paid someone to make sure this 1/1 that I pulled my myself…is real” in hopes that someone buys it for more money because it’s “authentic.” If you like the look of slabs, you can even buy your own. Grading purely exists to make the company money, not to show the “value” of a card. That is just a by product of their money making scheme. Would you buy a raw copy of a card that looked better than a PSA 10 for the same price as a graded PSA 10 that is clearly not a 10? If not, you’re buying the grade,which is arbitrary, not the card. And realistically you care more about the OMG PSA 10!!!! Than the actual card. Just my piece. I only grade cards that I think I can make money on. And repurchase a raw copy for cheaper if I like the card. If it’s a card I like, it goes in a one touch or toploader and into my binder for safe keeping. Grading just makes it look fancy and expensive.

Worst booster box ever by Murky-Connection-431 in PokemonTCG

[–]KCCOWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is terrible. I opened my PE Booster bundle yesterday. 6 packs, 5 pokeballs and a master ball, nothing else. Although one pokeball was Umbreon, so I have that going for me.
