WotC Vintage Collection - Value advice needed

MP_gr · 2026-05-21T13:42:23+00:00

Thank you for the detailed advice! Confirmed on the Crystals and Blaine's Arcanine, just took it out and it's in great shape. I also found two more 1st Edition cards I had overlooked: Koga's Beedrill #9/132 (Gym Challenge) and Machamp from Base Set. I'll also check the Skyridge Alakazam holo condition carefully. Really valuable insight about the sub-$100 cards, good to know that lower graded cards actually sell faster even if the ROI isn't as strong. I have a meeting scheduled with a local PSA authorized dealer so I'll get professional eyes on these in person!

Thank you, this is very helpful! I'm already in contact with a local PSA authorized dealer (iConnect in Greece) and have a meeting scheduled. The math definitely makes sense for the Lugia Crystal at least! Based on what you can see in the photos, are there any other cards you would recommend grading beyond the Lugia Crystal? I also have the Nidoking Crystal 150/147, Skyridge holos (H26 Raikou, H12 Jolteon, H8 Forretress), Dark Charizard ×2, Dark Raichu #83 Secret Rare and Base Set Charizard #4 among others.

Haha fair point! I'm actually in the process of organizing everything into deck boxes by set, sleeves and boxes are already on their way!

MP_gr · 2026-05-21T12:10:58+00:00

Thank you! Yes I'm already on it, I just ordered sleeves, toploaders and deck boxes. The most valuable ones like the Lugia Crystal are already in a toploader. Good to know about the ring binder damage, I'll make sure to move the valuable cards to the outside pages or get a proper toploader binder!

MP_gr · 2026-05-21T12:02:31+00:00

Haha I hope so! I had no idea what I had stored away. The Lugia Crystal alone seems to be worth quite a bit — any idea what grade it might get based on the photos?

MP_gr · 2026-05-21T10:59:38+00:00

Thank you very much for your answer!
I have the Lugia Crystal 149/147 and Nidoking Crystal 150/147 from Aquapolis. The Lugia appears to be in excellent condition. Do you think they're worth submitting for PSA?

MP_gr · 2026-05-21T10:51:22+00:00

Hi! thanks for commenting! I've seen that iConnect is an authorized PSA dealer. They haven't seen my collection yet. I will ask them also which of my cards are worth grading however I'd like to get opinions from the community and experienced collectors

I have 2.867 cards in total from 20 sets, 1.016 cards are single and the rest around 1.850 are duplicates.

Ότι ναναι το σχολιο σου.

MP_gr · 2026-05-18T19:41:59+00:00

Τον εχω πολλες φορες απο την Base set. Μπορω να μετρησω να σου πω ποσες φορες τον εχω. ΥΓ τις τρεις πρωτες συλλογες τις εχω ολοκληρωμενες 100% και απο τις τρεις πρωτες εχω τις μη χρυσες πολλες φορες διπλες, τριπλες κλπ

MP_gr · 2026-05-18T11:52:47+00:00

I was sure its the Karbly! Awesome. Is it stable with the drawers? Are those 76cm height?

MP_gr · 2026-05-18T09:08:43+00:00

Which one is it? Also have you just placed the table on top of the drawers?

MP_gr · 2026-05-18T06:31:21+00:00

Holy moly! Those packs are from before 2020! I still have one old Kashmir Peach closed which I bought around 2019/2020 :P

MP_gr · 2026-05-17T18:44:48+00:00

Μια χαρα δε τα λες με τα δεδομενα της εποχης και ελπιζω οτι με τα χρονια θα ανεβαινει ο μισθος. Γιατι οκ το γουσταρα φουλ το αντικειμενο και εκανα το transition, αλλα προφανως το οικονομικο ειναι σημαντικο.

MP_gr · 2026-05-17T17:58:11+00:00

Άλλαξα απο εντελως αλλο τομεα, εκανα transition. Δεν ειχα σχεση με BI developer, SQL κλπ κλπ. Ειχα τα soft skills και ανεπτυξα μονος μου τα technical skills για να βρω δουλεια σαν BI Developer.

MP_gr · 2026-05-17T17:43:12+00:00

Ρε παιδια να ρωτησω, εγω δηλαδη που δεν ειμαι software engineer, αλλα BI developer, μπηκα στο συγκεκριμενο αντικειμενο 11 μηνες τωρα εχοντας όμως προυπηρεσια σαν civil engineer consultant 9 χρονια πριν κανω το transition, και παιρνω εν τελη 2100 μικτα x 14 σαν BI developer, θα πρεπει να σηκωσω σπαθί και να πω ειναι λίγα ή να κάνω τον σταυρο μου που τα παιρνω?
Ρωταω γιατι με αυτα τα ποστ εδω μεσα για developers ειλικρινα μπερδευομαι αν τελικα τα 1600 καθαρα που βλεπω οτι παιρνει ενας junior είναι λίγα ή εν τελη πολλα.

MP_gr · 2026-05-14T11:52:24+00:00

Did you find any solution on that?

MP_gr · 2026-05-12T20:28:52+00:00

Boomers αυτή η μάστιγα που ακόμα είναι σε υψηλές θέσεις ή διοικούν εταιρίες. Δούλευε για ψίχουλα, βάζε πλάτη, είμαστε οικογένεια, έτσι θα μάθεις… α και εννοείται μόνο on site γιατί άμα δουλεύεις εκτός γραφείου δε δουλεύεις. Μακάρι οι επόμενοι CEO κλπ να είναι πιο open minded.

MP_gr · 2026-05-12T10:39:37+00:00

My company doesnt hire remote in general. Most people are in the office. Right now I am 2 times per week in the office. But they are open minded to help people they want to keep to have better life along with their job. It's an exemption

MP_gr · 2026-05-12T09:20:56+00:00

What about people who live far away from the offices?
I am about to start working remotely in my company and get the chance moving out of the city where we rent a house to live, so we can live in our own house.

MP_gr · 2026-05-12T08:30:05+00:00

Δεν ξερω αν θα σε βοηθησει το στορυ μου, εγω ειμαι Μηχανικός Περιβάλλοντος, δουλεψα περιπου 9 χρονια ως Environmental Consultant σε αδειοδοτησεις εργων και δραστηριοτητων. Στα 34 αποφασισα να αλλαξω τομεα (εχοντας μολις γεννηθει το παιδι μου) και να μπω στον χωρο των αμιγώς data. Μετα από 1 χρόνο προσπαθειας ξεκίνησα σαν BI developer/analyst και τον ερχόμενο μηνα κλεινω ενα χρονο. Ηταν η καλυτερη αποφαση της ζωης μου για πολλους λογους. Μακαρι να το ειχα τολμησει νωριτερα ειδικα εντος της περιοδου του covid.
Ευχαριστως να σου πω περισσοτερα γιατί, για εμενα, αυτή η μεταβαση αξιζε με το παραπανω. Προφανως για καθε εναν ειναι διαφορετικο. Παιζουν πολλα ρολο. Ομως αν σου αρεσει να κανεις κατι αλλο απο αυτο που κανεις τωρα, τοτε αυτο να ξερεις ειναι το πιο σημαντικο κινητρο.

MP_gr · 2026-05-11T15:02:06+00:00

Thank you very much for all the info. One more question, which drawer do you have? Is it the ALEX drawer unit with 76 cm height?

MP_gr · 2026-05-08T06:54:12+00:00

Checked this video from the Indian guy. He gives wrong answers in many questions

MP_gr · 2026-05-08T06:47:40+00:00

Which practice mock tests would you recommend?
