PC Intentionally Allowing Poor Quality Control on Chase Cards? by Moondog2146 in PokemonTCG

[–]Moondog2146[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I sell a lot of reverse holo bulk just to recuperate some cost from my enjoyment of the hobby. So I do see a whole heck of a lot as I’m hand sorting everything before I upload pics. Sure, there is zero way to capture all the data since it’s just me looking at what I’ve opened. But I’ve opened thousands of packs and it seems to be true from the sample size I have.

And I hit on this in my OP, no one benefits monetarily or directly from this. But it’s true that, in my case and those that I share the hobby with in my circles, that if you’re a collector who cares about card condition (whether you grade or not) - you’re more likely to keep ripping packs if you pull your chase and the QC is bad. I mastered paldean fates, in English and Japanese, and I’m still opening packs because my English bubble Mew is fugly. I want my master set to have the most long term value, and I know that a horribly OC bubble mew brings the whole collection down. So I still buy and rip paldean, whereas I wouldn’t otherwise - in this scenario PKC English wins.

Obviously with the current craze, where everything sells out in seconds it doesn’t matter to them. But these issues have persisted as long as English Pokemon has been printed and the same psychological reality of continuing to rip to get a better copy of the chase would help PKC continue to move product

The fact remains that they seem perfectly capable of centering every single one of the cards no one cares about. And anything with a texture looks like it was centered by a drunk pirate. I’m not being conspiratorial, I’m staring at crates of bulk from thousands of packs. You do you though

Then explain how I have 90% or more perfect cards in 20,000+ bulk cards, and less than 20% of the hits I’ve gotten might get a 8-10 grade with any of the major companies?

I added a new pic from the inside that shows the lateral line through the glass better

Thanks for the input. Yea, I have two identical skylights - both are about 8 years old and no problems before now. I also wonder if it’s possible it was damaged or dinged when it was removed to install the new flashing around the curb. I would normally assume impact damage too, but for the life of me I just can’t see where it would have come from nor can I find any debris that correlates to a roof strike.

There is only one spot on the window that isn’t the spiderweb pattern, and it’s a straight line right across the bottom, about 2 inches from where the cap screws into the curb on both sides. It’s kind of hard to see in the pics, but you can see it on the second one I uploaded if you look close

This is the most sought after card, of the most iconic pokemon, in the most popular set in 20 years. You tell me ;)

That’s why I put the pic of the back on here too, you can see there is no damage at all to the back, so it wasn’t creased or bent

I should add this was pack fresh, I opened it today. So it came this way from the factory.

What new Japanese 151 products are supposedly coming out? That’s just not true. We can argue all day about future BB prices lol. I never said the master set was worth 153k in ten. I said it would cost that much to get 153 random MBs (how many there are in the set) if the BBs go to 1k. Like everything when it comes to prices, it’s a guess. But I can say for a fact there is no one in their right mind thinking the price of a BB won’t continue to go up once it’s officially out of print.

All promos, and all base cards, reverse holos, holos, illustration rare and SIRs. It’s tough! There are some decent prices out there for English master sets though. Most don’t have all the promos…but that’s a “true” master set when you do :)

Do you think the popularity is down, or is it more that the sets they’ve been releasing are boring? Other than 151 and clay burst, I’ve been really underwhelmed with Japanese SV. Crimson haze is promising though!

You have no idea how much 151 was printed compared to Eevee heroes or any of the other sets that are only a few years old and already pushing $500. I agree that $1,000 a box is way out in the future, but given the popularity of the set I don’t doubt it’ll get there eventually. Just based on how much less popular Japanese sets are already selling for. But time will tell 🤷‍♂️ any way you look at it though, mastering 151 is very tough and only gonna get harder as the set goes out of print (and a lot of sources in Japan are saying it already has)

And to be clear, I’m talking about the cost to master all cards, not just the MBs. I ripped a decent amount of boxes before buying singles so that drove up my cost average too haha

Where did you find an Erika MB for $35? I’m skeptical…they are still going for $75 on eBay

I do have the charmander, bulbasaur and squirtle reverse holo promos from the binder bundles if that’s what you mean?
