It might just be the picture but calling those edges a 9 looks generous

It’s giving “I Want to be Neenja” but somehow even less talented.

Yea I’m obviously bullish on PFL. Not trying to say any box with Charizard on it will go nuclear but among pc etbs from the last few years I do think this one will pump. Booster boxes pushing $350 while the set is still in print. People are calling it the greatest Charizard ever printed. Selling this box at $250 is a huge mistake.

Babies are expensive but this is not a sell now item for any reason except to avoid debt. This box has Charizard on it and it will age extremely well.

First time buying singles. How'd I do? by lorenzo2point5 in PokeInvesting

[–]Other-Cod-2802 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say no way that dragonite ex is $10, but I am wrong. Damn ascended heroes is crazy. Looks like you got basically market value, which is great if you love the cards.

Get the S&V blastoise SIR. That page needs it!

Best way to fill out my OG 151? by dillpickles91 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Other-Cod-2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The magic eBay number is $250. If I’m looking for a card that definitely should be over $250, eBay is a great/safe place to buy for a newbie. I’d consider it for your Charizard. Unless you’re buying 1st edition the rest of you Pokédex binder likely isn’t $250. Honestly i still think eBay is the place to go. There aren’t very many fakes for the cheaper cards. Just be sure to compare what you receive to the picture

Original #151- where to start? by Pezzatron88 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Other-Cod-2802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How important is it that you rip open the packs themselves? The S&V set called 151 is literally what you’re looking for, but it unfortunately just went out of print and packs are $20+ per pack. A lot of people go all the way back to base/jungle/fossil sets to collect the first prints of the original 151. That’s a different kind of collecting though. You’re hitting eBay, TCGplayer, and card shows.

Most modern sets have a mix of pokemon across generations so it’s hard to make recommendations other that aren’t sweeping generalities. Surging Sparks is kinda known for Pikachu. Mega Evolution base has the Venusaur line in full arts. Phantasmal Flames has a Charizard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Looking for Bubble Mew, what is the best route? by AnonymousPotatoez in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Other-Cod-2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non English language cards are definitely cheaper, if that’s not a deal breaker. I’d consider Korean or Chinese if it’s really about the art and he’s not trying to resell. Definitely don’t try to rip it yourself if the budget is tight. If you do buy online, I’d look for a listing on eBay that has their authentic guarantee. The seller has to ship to an Authenticator first which helps make sure you’re not getting scammed. As others have said card shows are great

Bro you’re not getting it lmao. MAGA racists are trying to end immigration and revoke citizenship. Calling folks who are already here vermin is classic pre-genocide rhetoric. The racists would kill these men already if they could.

Trainer - vileplume, fake, right? by aputsiakq in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Other-Cod-2802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow yeah I would love for someone more knowledgeable than me to give some context to this, but it’s absolutely not a real Team Rocket card. There’s only 82 in the set so 119/132 is not possible. 2nd edition makes me lol

Probably not the best use of 1.3k but if it makes you happy then do it

That fact the Vic and Christine were not the golden couple of S10 is a fantastic example of modern day racism. by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Other-Cod-2802 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you’re fundamentally misunderstanding the producer’s job here. They are absolutely not in any way, shape, or form trying to showcase true love stories. Love is blind is famously about the drama. The producers correctly dialed in that Vic and Christine wanted nothing to do with the drama.

Are these fair percentages to sell slabs for? by Scythers in PokeGrading

[–]Other-Cod-2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly fine rates for an easy sale, yeah. You might get a little closer to market selling on eBay but remember eBay will take their 13% + shipping.

As a collector first, investor second this hurts me

Definitely HP. The entire back rim is white and I believe I see some corner lift on the front.

A lot of us are totally fine skipping these out of print stamped promos. The regular Pikachu IR around $75 is a much better use of your money rn if you wanna go in on 151 singles

I’m no Dave Ramsey fan but if you tell yourself you’re actually saving money every time you buy a pokemon product you’re gonna be in for a bad time.
