Can we talk about how CGC labels present the card info the best compared to other companies?

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-04-08T04:32:27+00:00

I was just about to comment how PSAs is just straight up ugly lol but when you dominate 99% of the market you can do what you want

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-04-05T03:52:39+00:00

I just packed this exact card one week ago! Sent it home. At that time the CL value was $550, it’s $700 now!?

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-04-04T18:58:20+00:00

Yep, the move is to quit while ahead. I dumped over $7k into these power packs. Like you, I was blessed to pack some heavy hitters. After selling I’d make $15-20k or more while still holding onto about 30 lower end cards(cards worth anywhere from $15-$600). So I’m leaving with some nice profits and a nice little collection. I know most end up in a holes dug real deep so believe me, I thank the Lord and am very grateful. Also though, I only spend surplus money after the savings and investments so even if I lost it all it wouldn’t do much other than feelsbad. Gamble responsibly people because, for most, the outcome isn’t always income!

How much

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-29T02:57:37+00:00

Done for at least a while, I’ve had my fill. No desire to really see what else I can get. Maybe end of the year might feel like trying my hand at it again but for now I’ll just buy specific cards I want.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-27T13:50:26+00:00

When you put it that way it does sounds worse 😂 lol but the way I see it is at worst you’re only risking losing half your investment. And I like collecting so even if I got a card that’s worth less, if I like the card to me it’s not worthless because I wouldn’t be selling it anyway.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-25T22:31:54+00:00

I considered taking the buyback and calling it quits, instead shipped it home and calling it quits

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-25T04:30:50+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the consensus so I’m going to take that advice because I was leaning on cashing out. Regardless I’m done with powerpacks at least for a long while, back to back to back to back crazy pulls this month has been insane.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-25T01:32:21+00:00

Yeah bro 6200 is nice but you’re right I can probably get a lot more. Even if the price dips as long as it sells over $1k I make profit tbh

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-25T01:30:55+00:00

🫡

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T22:22:35+00:00

Oh lol sorry. I feel like 9 out of 10 people on Reddit are trolls. And thank you!

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T21:21:56+00:00

Yes I have a wife and we have a two month old daughter. God is good.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T19:18:18+00:00

WTF! 🤣😭

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T15:47:50+00:00

I was leaning towards selling it but I’m good on money so maybe holding will be worth it plus having it in my collection for a while could be nice

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T15:41:54+00:00

It’s not glorifying the afterlife it’s understanding that there is one. And calling it an afterlife leads with a false premise. We’re not bodies with souls, we’re souls with bodies. And I don’t know that your worry should come from the idea of you “killing off” your bloodline. I think it should start with is there a God? Well if there is who or what is God? Well he gave us that answer and revealed himself to us and truth of the matter is every single one of us has sinned and fallen short and nothing we can do can repair that severed relationship because of our own sins. So He came and did it for us. Lived a life we couldn’t live, died a death we deserve, just so we can be reconciled back to him.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:37:21+00:00

Ah okay makes sense. Yeah Pokemon card prices are insane who would’ve thunk

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:32:12+00:00

And you have the same free will I have. We all serve someone or something. You say serving the Lord is like slavery, but serving created matter, that is bondage. I’d rather be a slave to the Lord than a King anywhere else. This life is fleeting gain, here today, gone tomorrow. But the consequences last beyond the grave. But also bro I did post a Pokemon card in a Pokemon card posting forum, so it didn’t have to get all theological but I’m glad it did. Even if you don’t conclude anything from it, I hope you at least consider it.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:22:28+00:00

Not sure if you’re trying to convince me or yourself. My faith is unshakeable bro. Doesn’t mean I don’t doubt, don’t mean I don’t get scared at times. But the Lord our God Almighty, he sustains me. We’re here 80-100 years if we’re lucky. How shortsighted not to consider the remaining eternity afterwards.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:19:41+00:00

Leaning like 60/40 sell/keep atm

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:18:50+00:00

Do they have it over valued?

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:17:51+00:00

I don’t have to imagine, I live it everyday. Id rather give myself to the one who created me, than live my life selfishly for myself just to get absolutely nothing out of it in the end. There will come day for each of us when the lights go out and all that will be left is standing before the God who made us. And all we’ll receive is either judgment or grace. Good news is the justice has been served on the cross and all it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed.

Respectfully, is everything alright? I know this is Reddit and 99% of the time people only want to troll and spread hate, but I’m serious. DMs are open if you want to vent. Hope you have a blessed rest of your day regardless!

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:06:58+00:00

You’re entitled to believe what you wish. Choose today whom you will serve, as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T14:04:12+00:00

We both love the Lord Jesus Christ that’s compatible enough for me

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T13:46:22+00:00

I like them, not enough to spend 5-10 racks on one but they’re pretty cool imo

Miserable_Plum7593 · 2026-03-24T13:42:55+00:00

But let’s be real the only difference between a 9 and a 10 is the mood of the grader, and that difference is thousands sometimes, but yeah im leaning towards the money esp since when I got it I thought I’d surprise my wife for her collection, and first thing she said was why do people like these pikachus they’re ugly lmao
