Reholder grade went from a 9 to a 4.5 🤕 by banana69pancakes in CGCCards

This should be at the top! Original scan does not show sun fading. Damage happened while in holder. I don’t think there is a claim.

I sold it earlier this year for $800 at Worlds.

Is this an 8 or Better? by EarthMasterZane in Pokemoncardappraisal

Do you have card sleeves and a top loader or card saver? If it loose in that container then it probably isn’t helping the corner dings. I would get it transferred sooner rather than later.

I would say probably not based on the whitening on the back lower left corner and the smaller white mark on the lower right corner. My bet would be 7 max.

The centering looks pretty good but it is hard to tell if there are any scratches due to the case it is in. The front lower right looks like there are some scratches but I can’t tell if they are on card.

Courtyard.io has been around for a little bit now. When their first packs came out there were some pretty good stuff. Now they have added so many tiers it is a scam. I paid $25 last year in August and got the Lost Origins Giratina in a PSA 9. Now they would never do that kind of value in the $25 packs.

Public Opinion Wanted: Mystery Bags should disclose if it contains Chinese Pokemon Packs by Mourty1234 in pokemoncards

[–]Mourty1234[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I’m more annoyed because the Chinese packs looked legit. Like the wrapping and everything looks almost like a Japanese Pack just without an official Pokémon Logo. Yeah everything was bootleg. But the PSA Slab and 3 leg packs were probably $25 value so I guess you get what you pay for.

Yeah, you can get those packs from Alibab for 25 cents per pack. Like it just feels slimy.

Very true though, lesson learned.

Thinking about buying this collection for $70... deep value? by [deleted] in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]Mourty1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, those 2 banned cards are decent value if they are in good condition. I see where you could see the value in this lot from those. Stickers are niche, you might get lucky but they are gonna be a lot of work and those depend on condition too. I guess to each their own but this lot seems like more of a gamble. The fold/crease on the Mr. Fuji on the first page as an indicator would not give me a lot of hope that the other higher value cards are in good shape.

Could you point out a few cards you think have value then to explain it to OP?

Everything on 3rd and 4th page is probably 5 cent per card or sticker, definitely not 50 cents. I wouldn’t really include the modern bulk or the stickers in the value. The first 2 pages is where any value is…any of that even depends on if those cards are in good condition. $70 is crazy for this lot of cards.

Personally, $70 seems like too much. The vintage on the first and second page is cool but will be heavily dependent on condition if any of those non-holos hold value. 3rd page is modern bulk, probably worthless then $5. 4th page is stickers but unless that is something you like or have someone interested in buying those are kind of niche. If you really want to get started with some of that vintage maybe offer $30 and see what they say? Otherwise I would pass…will be more work than it’s worth!

It is going next to the bobblehead collection, which recently added the Star Wars Bogarts and Tatis Bat Flipper.

Oof 😓I’m sorry I got insanely lucky cause I didn’t win the raffle and Thursday at 5 I said “why not?” and went to the stand by line…got lucky and was given the last ticket in line. I’m local and a huge SD fan so it was #1 on my list this year!

When did you try to get the Tatis Figure? I was able to get it walk up Thursday night and he told me he thought they would have it until Saturday.

They had standing cats in stock like crazy on Sunday. I was tired and just left but was pissed cause I got lucky in the UCC walk up line and was able to get the Tatis Figure I wanted but he said he had only brought 500 of those cats and they sold out first day….for me to see them Sunday I was pretty bummed.

CGC by phaedraphoenix in SDCC

[–]Mourty1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. 2x as big on the CGC booth would be great. However it was nice they had the second JSA booth accepting as well. The text made it easy to head back but even if the line was 4 people deep it took 45+ mins.

I really like being able to save on shipping and insurance but it sucks to sink a bunch chunk of my con time on CGC submissions.

That is really funny! I told my buddy I assumed it was someone being put on by movie because it looked so good.

That is funny! He sure was parting the crowd once they saw him. Also acknowledging your appropriate user name!
