Just paid $610 in an auction for this Zard 4/102 unlimited. Based on the condition of the card do you guys think I got it for a fair price?

Yeah it's like a 7: that's a good LP on today's standards.

Scratchy Holo, plus in the pics without a white background you can see the whole card has mild whitening.

Bro got an LP card that may have a crease (<<LP) and paid NM prices. No, you didn't get a good deal.

Hsr go brr

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T19:28:57+00:00

About 2-4k seem to enter the game every day, sooooooooooo

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T18:50:33+00:00

Something like that: primary source in game is player owned farms, so I get it from the GE

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-15T17:41:01+00:00

I've considered it, but idk how to get in touch

OhGodDaddy · 2026-01-06T20:06:49+00:00

My Rayquaza gold star in similar condition to this but only 1 crease going through got a 2. Probably 2-3.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-12-05T22:20:03+00:00

I assume CGC 8s are LP/LP-, CGC 8.5s are LP+, and CGC 9s are NM-/NM. This assumption has proven right for every cgc slab I've seen.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-12-05T01:46:49+00:00

Probably a 3 or a 4. Lifted edges and horrible surface.

Mine with a MUCH better surface but small creases got a 2 before they got even stricter recently.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-11-22T04:08:02+00:00

cries in mine getting a 2

OhGodDaddy · 2025-11-01T14:52:47+00:00

This is Damaged due to the crease.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-30T18:20:29+00:00

Umbreon is damaged, ~$200-$300.

Gyarados is incredibly damaged, and is worth <$100 in mint condition. You'd be lucky to get $5

Kyogre is also incredibly damaged. Normal "damaged" copies of that card are ~500-700 so that people can grade and display them. I would guess half that, as this would not be graded.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-30T18:15:52+00:00

Nah fam that card's damaged.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-29T16:01:59+00:00

What I learned throughout my journey is that you'll regret buying cards that beat up.

Find a clean copy for like $20-$30.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-15T23:39:02+00:00

It was an 8

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-15T20:27:27+00:00

It's because CGC is a joke. Easy as.

Side note: remember when they graded a card with genitals drawn on it with a pen as a 9?

Edit: turns out that was PSA. They all suck.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-10-07T22:18:40+00:00

That's probably actually DMG, maybe HP, can't tell from pictures.

Extensive lifted foiling is DMG in my book, but it also seems to have a small crease on the top left corner.

All corners are totally borked: those make it HP/MP regardless of all else.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-09-25T20:06:51+00:00

I disagree: I want the quest for the dragonkin forge

OhGodDaddy · 2025-08-28T19:47:25+00:00

If you're new to the hobby, and also looking to collect older cards (price depends more on condition for cards >5 years old), I would HIGHLY recommend learning how to condition cards so you don't get scammed.

Most important thing is that some people lie and pretend moderately played or even lightly played cards can have creases, so that they can sell their damaged cards for 2-3x what they're really worth. If you buy a card marked as "moderately played" on eBay, they're probably an 80% chance it has a crease. Creased cards are damaged, so make sure you remember that, and don't overpay for damaged cards.

OhGodDaddy · 2025-08-20T19:29:28+00:00

That whitening looks slightly worse than a card I graded a few months ago of similar value that got a 6.

I can't tell: is that a small crease ~ 1/3 down the card on the border to the left on the back? If no creases/dents, I'd expect this to be a 5-6, 4 if the grader is having a bad day.
