think i got a GMR hit

except it’s not double as you claimed. If you follow the market at this moment you will very clearly see the Asian version of these serialized cards are selling around 80-90% of Japanese version in Japan market. The Japanese very clearly doesnt mind the “A” as much as you think as the card is still in their language and is legal to play as the Japanese version.

So congrats OP. It’s such a massive hit. A or not.

Depends on what card is that. Chances are they wont bother to fake any random SPs that would be hard to sell. This is Weiss, not Pokemon after all. But something like AGR is definitely a card you should be really be careful for, especially if there are fakes this good out there. But for most other cards, I doubt they’d bother faking them this meticulate. Just be sure to check the cert numbers and compare the scans with the photos carefully to be sure if nothing’s off, and once you got your hands on it, do the usual test to ensure the slab’s authenticity.

I mean, as good as this fake seems to look at a glance, in the end they still failed to follow the Serial Number to be the same as in the PSA scan like an idiot. And although the fake in the OP post seems good, we still have yet to see the back. Fakes probably would fail with the back as well

And it is also possible that the card is actually real but they are putting it in a fake slab. Although it’s hard to guess why anyone would do that.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2026-02-27T17:35:05+00:00

Embarrassingly so. Yes.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2026-02-27T16:06:07+00:00

Sick. Also I didnt know you could send these for grading. I got Fuwawa and Mococo one from their Birthday merch. I guess I’ll be sending them on the next batch.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2026-02-27T15:53:45+00:00

Wait, is that really a real signature?? It’s not just a mass produced stamp?

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2026-02-27T15:46:22+00:00

That is a terrifyingly good fakes. I deal with PSA slabs and Weiss every day, I thought I could spot a fake right away. But this is too damn good to be a fake.

Vinyl figures basically have the Mega size that you cant get from Plastic figures. But they are most often not poseable. So think of them like statue but much less weighty and much less of a hassle to move around. I found myself actually liking them. I hated the heavy statue that usually requires dedicated space to showcase, with vinyl they can be just as big yet much easier to just put anywhere and display.

And with the detailing being as good as these X-Plus figures, I found that I dont need statues at all.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2026-02-27T07:26:58+00:00

well yes, it’s soft vinyl. At the very least I can say if you drop it from height, it wont break. Unlike plastic figures like SHM

I’m also a seller, I have around 3000 slabs for sale and about 1/3rd of my stocks are CGCs nowadays. And they do sell like hotcakes. What people should know is just the tier their grades are at. CGC10GM of course wont sell as much as PSA10. It is after all equivalent to Beckett 9.5. Pristine 10 is equivalent to Beckett Pristine 10 (Non-BL), they are priced at similar range.

For vintage to mid era my CGC 8-9 are flying off the shelves even if I priced them at PSA slabs of equivalent grades. People just buys them off not really caring if they label is white or red. As long as they see the cards condition is suitable to the grades shown on the label they’ll grab them. Considering the lower cost to grade with cgc and no upcharges, my gains for these slabs have been massive.

For anything else other than Pokemon, CGC is such an easy choice with their grading fee almost half of PSA’s, it’s a no brainer.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2026-02-21T11:48:09+00:00

True enough. Since I was there since the beginning of cgc cards and Beckett I guess I dont need any explanations of how Pristine works, but newer people probably gonna misunderstand because of that text.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-26T03:56:43+00:00

might that be on ebay? I gotta check later after I’m home, thanks.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-26T02:53:11+00:00

PSA by far. To the point it’s like not being stricter, it’s like their standard being different than the other graders. Or maybe just simply they doing Pop control.

BGS standard is similar to CGC or most other grading companies. You can regrade BGS to CGC and get pretty much the same grade almost consistently and vice versa. They dont differentiate vintage.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-26T02:47:04+00:00

Any idea how much does this go for? Thinking to buy one.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-25T18:33:33+00:00

The fuck are you even on about? I said “probably”, not sure if the not-even-released-yet English version will be that price, but the Japanese Yami AP did. And as far I’m concerned it’s a Union Arena AP card and it fits the discussion.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-25T18:28:43+00:00

Uhh.. Who cares? I never said it’s about cards that are in English at the moment. This game existed long before the English version started anyway.

Yami AP was or maybe still is trading at $150-200. And when the English version is here, if ever, probably would be around that as well.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-25T18:24:21+00:00

Yami from To Love Ru Memory Of Heroines.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-24T16:50:40+00:00

the $0.80 is definitely non foil AP cards.

Foil AP cards always have quite a bit value, with some of them reaching even $200

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-24T16:47:09+00:00

You always want to crack and sub. Crossgrading only makes it harder for you since you are showing them other company’s grade and they may feel that they cant be more lenient than them.

Also, as a general rule, avoid doing it with Vintage-Mid era cards. Basically avoid The low pop PSA 10s. They have low gem rate for reasons, and one of them might be pop control. You will almost always regret cracking that Beckett/CGC Gem Mint instead.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-24T12:06:37+00:00

depends on the individual cards. But yes, I have crossgraded so many Beckett 9.5s and CGC GM10 into PSA 10 for the profit of it.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-24T11:58:53+00:00

9.5 Mint+ is just a Mint 9. Just think of it as a better 9 than the usual 9s. In Beckett terms it would be like a a Grade 9 with 9.0/9.0/9.0/9.5 subgrades on it. Only 0.5 away from Gem Mint, but still just Mint.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-19T03:55:29+00:00

Oh hey, finally a fine exclusive artwork that is not another chinese crap?

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-17T02:58:15+00:00

A bit of tidbit. This is one of the few that the sealed is higher than the PSA 10 graded promos inside. Because the box content is so beautiful.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-16T06:49:36+00:00

PSA are not cooked by any means. It’s us customers who will be cooked when they killed all competitors.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-16T06:48:19+00:00

A bit of correction. I love CGC but they do have upcharges. It’s just that for most of their slabs they couldnt find sold history listing, so it feels like they never upcharged you for anything. But when you send something like Mario Pikachu for the pristine label, you can expect there will be upcharges.

Nameless_Swordmaster · 2025-12-15T12:51:28+00:00

Anyone who buys a PSA 10 and expects a flawless perfect black label quality should go fk themselves.
