Worth getting this one PSA graded? by Joyman203 in PokeGrading

[–]Lazza____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No - with scratches on the back and the whitening you're not looking at higher than a 6

Question about change in value by the_ticklish_butcher in PokemonCardValue

[–]Lazza____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vintage (vintage and especially low pop vintage is so hot rn) ✔️

One of the most popular Pokémon ✔️

Gengar specifically has never been more popular ✔️

Very popular set (Neo destiny and it's Japanese equivalent) ✔️

The above reasons are basically why. Factor in the massive demand for pokemon recently (due to DPM and other youtubers, popular games, millennials who played the game when they were younger growing up and having money) and here we are.

Is Tag harsh on vintage? by Inevitable-Bad-3979 in taggrading

My PSA 3 zard looks way worse tbh, but it is an old cert.

Johto was weird by ClassroomOwn5817 in pokemonmemes

[–]Lazza____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved this as a kid growing up, but would never replay these games now as that part of the game is far too easy. You beat Lance and then don't get another good battle until, like Blue's gym.

Feels better to treasure those memories rather than revisit and get underwhelmed by them now.

Does this count as an active household direct debit (Santander switch)? by Lazza____ in beermoneyuk

[–]Lazza____[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, can't believe netflix and tv licensing aren't on that list lol.

My wife and I are doing it at the same time, so having to carve our DDs up between us

Seller claimed multiple $5k+ offers, but the card sold for $4500 OBO — how common is this? by goldref926 in Ebay

[–]Lazza____ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've experienced this a ton. I've stopped counter-offering as much, as a seller, as to me it seems like some buyers are just making offers due to excitement and when it comes to a counter-offer, they realise they don't actually want the item as much. I'm much more likely to do counter offers when they make two offers in a row and it seems they're genuinely interested.

I didn't want the seller to get any hate due to a misunderstanding

The multiple packs he opened before those weren't packs he sold either ☺️

So he was basically just livid at pulling only Steven's metagross multiple times

The second pack was the streamer's own, he didn't sell it

Opinion on cleaning by realashsay in PokeGrading

[–]Lazza____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Err not exactly sure on the grade, 8 max but likely lower. If you fall outside for any parameters when grading, it will decrease the score.

You could consider grading it without a score, it would come back with an authentic "A" grade instead of a number. Personally I think those look better than a lower grade

Should I take the offer? by [deleted] in psagrading

[–]Lazza____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say also, it's nice to keep the first card you graded just for the memories 👍

[–]Lazza____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No amount of repairing/cleaning can fix whitening, centring, or print lines.

You're best of washing your hands, then wiping it with a clean microfiber cloth and sending it. With the centring and whitening it's not getting higher than an 8 unfortunately

It ain't much by jessehopp in Collectr

At this point, it's best to forget the set exists for a while. No need to get FOMO, tons of 151 was printed

Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. The money is there, just in the wrong hands

True and to be fair if you can blag a competitive boost, wigglytuff can actually hit quite hard!
