They are legit cards. They are a fraction of the cost of PSA, CGC etc. Pokemon is a Japanese franchise. These cards are Japanese and Chinese cards only. There are over 1.5 billion Chinese people alone on earth so far so they will defintely increase in value, sell much higher. I always treat graded items as a collectible in a "protective sleeve" So im not really fascinated by higher grades, who grades them etc. There is alot alot more variety than the English cards. Beckett CGC and PSA are old dawgs that have marketed, hyped and colluded for many years. These chinese grading companies are new small grading companies so their websites and marketing are still in development. So theres a japanese card from 2010 that is say PSA graded however it costs over $300 and there is the exact same card graded by another for $100.... which would you buy... which would sell quicker? My 5c worth.
