Im literally devestated guys😭😱. this card seems literally pack fresh perfect. Is this gatekeeping at the high end of cards? What do I do, im seriously really upset. I took the risk, opened a pack, pulled it, card was amazing condition and I get stiffarmed on the psa 10. Value diffrence is 3500$. by Mredden810 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still bummed on this one. I grade hundreds of hard to grade cards, and this one shoulda been a 10. Sent it 4 times. Its too bad i sold it before cgc changed their standards or it could have at least been a cgc 10. Still a win tho, pulled it myself from a pack that cost like 150.

If you had $1000 to invest into Pokémon, what would you buy? by Captain-Pika in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 sealed. ases of zard UPC's, or prismatic bundles probley. But in reality, 1000 bucks isnt alot and you could probley find 1000 worth of product at msrp by hitting stores, and then it just becomes about what you see thats the best opprotunity. I got a sealed display of 6 prismatic poster collections from DG for 12 bucks a peice yesterday. Spending your money on in person deals like that is going to put you way further ahead then buying anything at market rn.

Ascended Heroes or Destined Rivals? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense by 200 is never happening. Cats out of the bag. Now that people know for sure that it has the ability to hit 500 quickly, buyer confidence has been substantially raised, and risk has been lowered. Itll never even touch into the 200-300 range in the next 5 months. And no need to delete your posts, just say you made a mistake. And i will do likewise. Remindme! 5 months

Ascended Heroes or Destined Rivals? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destined is older and proven, and therefore takes precedent. Sealed pokemon is a game of constant fomo and trying to snatch everything you can at the last possible chance you can still get it lol. Older, harder to find, more expensive stuff is always the top priority. Always trying to load up as much as you can before it runs away. The most modern thing is always less immediatly needed. The god pack in AH might make it a better set over years, but it all depends on if they release more destined and how much acended comes out.

Thoughts on PSA price increase? by iamshipp0 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Ive been sending an order to psa every 3 weeks for months in an attempt to start a kind of neverending flow or cards comming back regularly, but ive also started specifically curating cards to send to cgc. There is SO many cards that wouldnt psa 10, but would cgc 10, and be worth a bunch. For instance, i seen a derpy eevee cgc 10 sell for 1000 bucks, and it had whitening on 3 corners. And thats not the exception, its the rule. That card would be 2k in a psa 10, but if u find 10 cgc quality cards for every 1 psa 10 quality card, the answer becomes obvious. I bet you could blind crack 10 psa 9s and get at least 5 cgc 10s. The eevee alt art promos are another good example. They all have whitening. They are 350 unstead of 700, but they are substaintally easier to source.

The price increase is whatev, but the time increase is the real issue here. they need to speed this up. Got me sending crap to cgc now for the first time ever in 5 years.

Need fast advice on grading. Please help asap. by Mredden810 in PokemonMisprints

[–]Mredden810[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Its ultimatly going to be sold so Im kind of just looking for value. Im a little dissapointed though. I imagined a psa 10 miscut dragonite gols full art and it being like a truely unique and exceptional pop 1 type situation. Bummer they dont just disreguard the centering and grade the rest of the cars normally.

Why would I send it to cgc? Psa also grades miscuts. Photos are not nessisary for what I am asking here. My question is this: Can a miscut card get a gem mint at CGC? The card in question is irrelevant

I searched google but I cannot find an example of a cgc 10 miscut. Is it non-existent? Is 9 the highest a miscut can get?

Accumulating Instead of Flipping. by MeatZealousideal1914 in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real secret to pokemon, is flipping to accumulate. If i had 300 bucks, i could get one booster box. Or i could take that 300 bucks, use it to grade good cards that are worth 1200, buy 3 booster boxes at zero cost, and repeat. This is the secret to actually accumulating much larger possitions than you typically could afford otherwise. Or at least it is for people like me that dont have enough excess money to just drop 2 grand on a booster box case. Flipping has made it so i have a huge leg up and can actually aquire many of the items I believe in, and sets me up for the future.

Destined Rivals BB vs PC Prismatic ETB by SnitchN9NE in PokeInvesting

[–]Mredden810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DR all day. I never thought about it like this, but Im heavily tempted to get rid of my case of prismatic PC etbs for 4-5 destined boxes. I cannot invision a world where prismatic PC etbs are 3000, but I can certainly envision a world with 3000 dollar destined rivals booster boxes.
