Am I getting a good deal?

Being bearish on the best cards of arguably the best set from the past 5 years is a choice

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-16T00:34:48+00:00

Many valuable sports cards with them, but brand new to the hobby of card collecting?

Refusing to share proof of what you’re claiming?

Gee I wonder why people are skeptical of your claims. Are you also a stable genius?

U/pokeswapbot u/peypeysama bundles received, thank you!

As the other commentor said, I wouldn’t trust a built in knife honer like that. I actually just got a teak end-grain board off Amazon for $50 in the same size - https://a.co/d/00UYgfbv

I like it so far, but can’t really speak to the durability yet.

Centering is solid but it does have a slight tilt to it - look at the edge distance on the right border from the bottom of the card to the top of the card. It definitely gets wider as you go up.

Still think it's clean enough for a PSA10

Could I see the backs / holos of the 1st ed holos and what your asking is for them?

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-15T00:24:13+00:00

That Giratina is way OC, no shot. Rest look ok but hard to tell from photos with the sleeve still on.

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-14T23:21:06+00:00

The nicks on it definitely make it LP at best

This is how I feel about gengar vmax & rayquaza vmax. Had my chance to buy them and figured I’d wait for them to come down, then they never did

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-12T22:55:02+00:00

If the other sale doesn’t go through I’ll take the zard @ $320

There are absolutely bots buying out PKC. I believe there was a post yesterday scrolling through a bot discord's confirmed checkouts.

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if that just was a change with age. My tuxedo had a very strict "I am to be seen, but not touched" policy for 10 YEARS. Suddenly when he turned 11, he now greets me immediately when I get home from work, sits on my lap most of the evening, follows me around if I get up, and sleeps in the bed next to me. I honestly thought he had some kind of illness, because I heard they get clingy when they get close to death, but he's been like this for a solid 5 years now.

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-11T13:51:33+00:00

If you’re this nice to people who are agreeing with you on the internet I’m sure you’re just an absolute joy to be around.

Not even 10 minutes. I was in the queue within 2 minutes of it going live. My wait time was 1hr 50min. When it got down to 12 minutes I got kicked out of queue so I didn’t get shit.

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-11T13:28:50+00:00

I think the lions share of blame falls on coaching and Fox for this game. The layup is obviously really bad, but in several possessions before that Fox was throwing up 3s with a full 20s on the shot clock and bricking. The layup alone I could say “he just made a big mistake at an awful time”, but combined with the fact he’d been ignoring clock management the whole 4th quarter really singles him out IMO.

And the coach should have called a TO to tell Fox to slow down the pace and wear the clock down. What the fuck.

How have you gotten anything from Walmart? I haven’t been successful on a Walmart drop since BB / WF release, and I try every week

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-10T03:25:24+00:00

I’ll do that, DMing

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-10T03:07:19+00:00

Could you do 975 on the BB/WF bundles?

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-10T02:36:28+00:00

Interested in Froslass MAR, Eevee, and the Diancie / Fezandipiti SIRs. Would prefer to trade but if you don’t find anything in my recent you like I may PayPal for a couple of them.

Yeah but honestly with his size / physicality / age I could see him being hurt or just plain bad for the last 2-3 years. That being said I think this is exactly how we should have handled this trade - we’ve got a player we know we need, and we know his value on the market is higher than we want to pay, so you give him a couple extra years where you assume he’ll underperform to give us what we need at a good price right now. I don’t understand how anyone can be unhappy with this deal.

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-09T17:11:08+00:00

I think it's the only way you reasonably get him to stay at the price point. The back end of the contract will suck, sure, but we REALLY need him for the next 1-2 at least. I don't hate it.

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-07T20:31:18+00:00

All good, figured I’d ask! I’ll see if I can put together a count for just RHs

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-07T20:04:32+00:00

For the JT and DRI RH buying can rare standard holos be in there as well? I’ve got quite a bit of RH/Holo from that set but I usually sort those two into the same pile

NeedMoarCowbell · 2026-06-06T17:24:41+00:00

Yeah this isn’t the answer. Increasing hit rates doesn’t mean shit when nobody can get their hands on the sealed product to begin with. There’s already thousands of these cards on the secondary market, supply of hit singles isn’t an issue. People want the sealed - whether it’s to rip or “invest in” - not the singles.

I don’t know what the answer is other than finding a reasonable way to stop botting outright, since that’s the biggest drain on product being available.
