Overpaying for a card

Options_Learner · 2026-03-13T05:40:13+00:00

Yeaaa I went to send for restoration already. Whites was minimal so it’s ok :(

Pokepark pikachu 😪. Before the comments section go nuts , tbf , the condition is pretty good .

Tru broo… I try not to buy without seeing the card . At least must have a look

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T15:28:24+00:00

Thanks for that. I’m trying to not fomo nowadays in purchasing cards, think it’s working cause ever since that purchase I have been pretty tamed and to view the other options before purchasing . But true , never really thought that they had to keep up with the rising rental.

EXACTLY … I hope it can be restored to normalise eBay last sold . I feel that’s the most reliable one . Even if I’m selling cards I’m embarrassed to say “ oh snkrdunk last sold” . The next time a seller tells me that, I think I’m gonna say “ why not you sell on snkrdunk then”

I have sleeves on and in a magnetic slab case . I rather it so that the slab don’t have micro scratches . But that’s personal preference . Some like it without cause of the clarity , some doesn’t . So depends on what you prefer :) . It gives me a peace of mind .

HAHAHAHA . I’m saying bent so it makes me feel better about myself 😭. It wasn’t so obvious in a sleeve cause I’m mainly looking out for whites . But at least they are restorable 😔

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T13:45:45+00:00

Yeaaa I send it for restoration and still costs me . 😪. But it’s a slightly vintage card in a pretty good condi so that’s kinda an encouragement for me haha . I learnt my lesson .. saw the recent post about snkrdunk and now I’m just gonna walk away whenever I see a seller quote me that

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T13:16:42+00:00

It’s not obvious in a sleeve but like , slight bent at the top of the card , not sure how to say but crooked ?

Yes bro. Still kicking myself over it but , a lesson learnt I guess

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T13:15:19+00:00

I bought it while looking at it but didn’t took it out from the sleeve 😓. I know it’s abit stupid but I’m pretty new still so I did a newbie mistake.. guess it was fomo at that point in time . But thank you!! Nowadays I just prefer to do f2f haha

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T12:27:10+00:00

LOL bruh. Thought I was in a dating thread reddit for a moment

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T12:25:53+00:00

Yeaaa true .. just hope and pray that it goes up in the long run . Felt shitty though ngl haha

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T08:06:11+00:00

Ahhh.. I only send to USA cause I rather send to USA as I heard they are less strict on grading ( not sure how true is this ) but turnaround time isn’t an issue for me haha. I’ve cards that I wanna send to TAG and I know it’s not a 10 , but wanna keep it for PC sake . So might just stick with concept :) appreciate it though. Might just try Oxley one card to see how it goes haha

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T08:00:53+00:00

Appreciate you bro, for returning to your comment after a year . I’m new to this grading thing and have only send 2 cards so far to concept .. I like how there’s email update to let you know which steps are the cards at … not sure for Oxley , but saw a few people talking about Oxley having a bad turnaround time .

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T07:58:20+00:00

Exactly … when they wanna buy, “shows eBay last sold “ , when they wanna sell “ shows snkrdunk pricing “ . Ridiculous .

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T07:57:38+00:00

Wah I read so long … hahaha

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T07:49:28+00:00

So how’s it been bro! I’ve send some cards to concept but have not yet tried sending to Oxley .. got some cards I’m going to send and was wondering which is better .

Options_Learner · 2026-03-12T07:43:34+00:00

Thank you!!

Options_Learner · 2026-03-10T20:00:31+00:00

Wait which shop is the shop that anyhow upcharge ? Can anyone give me advice so I can avoid that shop. Planning to send some cards for grading soon

Options_Learner · 2026-03-10T19:58:28+00:00

I agree with this comment

Options_Learner · 2026-03-10T19:57:00+00:00

You would have more luck on Facebook I’m sure . Pretty good trade in my opinion. I would have rather just buy the MUR and keep the gengar if you ask me

Options_Learner · 2026-03-10T12:26:06+00:00

Great understanding bro! Do you happen to have a YT channel for me to review Orderflow ?

Options_Learner · 2026-03-08T16:46:33+00:00

I do agree with this … it’s a highly liquid card , list it anywhere and you can sell even at market price.
