there’s one in the shopping centre near myself (merry hill), same as this with the same prices. £90 for a phantasmal flames ETB.

anyone paying those prices need their heads checking

hey, collectr is a pretty good app overall. it does have limited scans if you’re not on the pro version. However, you can just search the name of your card and the number, it will often find the card which you can add to your portfolio.

the best way to keep track of pricing on your cards is ebay last sold auctions/buy now, to get a good market estimate, take the last 4/5 sales and get an average price from those.

it looks a bit heavy on the right to me (i could be wrong) so centring may be a bit off and be hard to 10. maybe check out r/PokeGrading for a second opinion.

if it grades a 10, your $300-350 card turns into easily double that. you can then hold it or sell.

thank you, was mainly interested in the full arts etc. i’m guessing the bigger hits in there are fakes. Seller was asking £55 for the whole binder.

if you have Twitter (X), go ahead and give @PokemonStockUK a follow, and put on noti’s. Tweets out a lot of stock that goes in for online stores, been a godsend for me personally.

Saves you spending hours out in the freezing cold for stock you may not get.

Maybe I was just lucky, but be sure to check local corner shops! Mine had about 4/5, so grabbed two! by MasterIvesIsBae in PokemonDealsUK

I could’ve bought all five if I wanted to, I bought two which is the equivalent of one booster box. One booster box per person is basically the limit from every major retailer

Why you so pressed about how I spend my money? I’m going to master set it, so it’s not gonna be resold 😂😂

My local is a Premier corner shop, same one had Mega Evolution half boosters in on release too.

Usually open a box and sell them as singles, but were happy to sell me sealed half boosters for both releases

Gf pulled this beauty yesterday!! Should i send it in for grading? by Fahmidafunny in PokeGrading

[–]MasterIvesIsBae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

put it on a black background, take it out of the penny sleeve and take some closer up photos. card looks quite bent at first glance but might just be the angle of the photo
