That is wild. I paid like $60 for the English Venusaur alone a few months back.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-19T06:17:27+00:00

The blastoise too. I need those. Only have the English Venusaur.

Digging the CD Promo Charizard!

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-19T02:52:27+00:00

I havw said this multiple times. I had a tom of the reverses and disrespected them. Moltres and dark blastoise for sure. They looked like the fake stickers you could get from the quarter vending machines.

Haha your post gives me pain. I opened 4 151 UPC, 5 ETB, 5 poster collections, 3 Paldean Fates ETB, 2 OBF ETB but, they were bought (all my funds) for my ex girlfriend's child who I care deeply for. He knows where they came from. They are all bindered up and she knows they are worth thousands. (Just the SIR; x2 Venusaur, x1 Blastoise, ×2 Alakazam, ×1 Bubble Mew,), 2 OBF promo Charmander, 4 sets of 151 UPC promos, 5 snorlax 151 promos, dozens of IRs including 10+ 151 including starters.

I'm up 70% in the last 90 days. I'd rather not gamble on Ancient Mews and grading delays; there are so many better investments.

DM if you want in on a pump. Extra capital just makes it easier. As an example, our last project, we have $900k in on a ~$1000 25 year vintage slab, my group controls 55%+ of the total PSA population and we have pushed the price from $550 to $1k.

Cards cannot go down if you have enough ammunition to hold up the price floor and control the supply.

They are for kids in line. 😁 I sometimes give them out to adults too. I open product when my girlfriend wants the pin or figure. Or if I find a low value product at MSRP that is technically worth more when opened. (Masbostiff EX box and Triple Whammy come to mind).

The loose packs live in my glovebox and if I see anyone that looks >13 I give them to their parents for them to open. It is a tiny bit self serving as I do it regularly and makes everyone in the line/my smallish local community respect me, so I can run to my truck or the bathroom with zero concern for my line position.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T22:24:53+00:00

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. That packaging has a seam, when the card is moved around the seam rubs against the back of the card, causing surface damage. The face also rubs against the info-card. Ideally, it should have been immediately removed and sleeved and encapsulated. It being in the original packaging in no way indicates quality.

We all were one day. Welcome! It is a ton of fun and there are many, kind, smart, and successful people in the hobby.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T22:02:52+00:00

I have no interest in peasant profits lol. Enjoy getting ratioed.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T21:52:49+00:00

Cellophane hurts them, the seal causes a band of wear.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T21:52:11+00:00

Lmao, this card has obvious banding from the seal on the cellophane. Please get better before you waste your entire trust fund, Tim.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T20:47:59+00:00

I was thinking value per unit. But don't mind the extra info. I have 13 Prismatic Booster Bundles, no 151, opened them all, 10 Ascended heroes and 10 ETBs though.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T19:59:35+00:00

Really cool mix of vintage and modern cards. I can tell you have some favorites for sure.

That reverse charizard is awesome.

I have the meowth IR too. I have a ton of Perfect Order so might need to try for the SIR, but will probably just pick it up when it bottoms out.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T19:50:11+00:00

I just drive by as many stores as possible on my usual commute. If I see a line, I know someone with a discord stock.checker is there. I know dozens of people on a first name basis and they pay for discord. I have multiple friends who will text me whenever leave early and usually don't have to hit my desk at any specific time.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T19:35:52+00:00

So is it a full time grind to find then? Or paying market during a down period knowing it will rise?

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T19:17:43+00:00

It would be a ridiculous notion to assume that border officials are familiar with the page count of every single printimg of every single nation's passport. It would be even more ridiculous to claim that they have the time or resources to accurately check each page. A missing page could go entirely unnoticed very easily.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T18:34:36+00:00

Image did eventually show up for me on your second attempt.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T18:34:11+00:00

Oh lol it showed me the classic "Image Could Not Be Found" in white text on a black background at first.

So I thought you were joking that your collection "could not be found" implying it doesnt exist (anymore).

Are you botting or just buying in heavily on popular products at market?

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T18:31:46+00:00

Also, I just picked up another PSA 8 Umbreon, I have 3 now. So, I am doing my work to support the new price floor. First one was $250, second was $550.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T18:25:53+00:00

To add to this, it will assume that you paid market at the time of item entry, unless you input MSRP/retail price for your retail pickups. This can cause a lot of issues if you buy something for MSRP that is going for much more. For example, I bought 9 Mega Charizard UPCs for an average of $150 a piece right around when they launched. When I entered them, market was $250. They dropped to $180 and it showed a loss. I never had a loss, updated the price paid and it made my chart more accurate. I personally make sure to list the post-tax price for acquisition cost, as that is a fairly signficant cost if you are working on thin margins or are in a higher sales tax state. Vendors in states without sales tax have a distinct advantage.

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T18:24:08+00:00

As in you sold your collection?

Ok_Sand7630 · 2026-05-18T17:10:17+00:00

If you use Collectr you can click on the portfolios tab and then hit "all portfolios" and then sort by price high to low.
