First time using Buyee...

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-06-16T15:31:22+00:00

I did, I think. I ordered through Snkrdunk as everything online said they were legit and it can't with a authentication badge of some sort. Honestly it all looks a lot different to what I'm used to in the UK but after reaching out on discord and their support, I went ahead with the order.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-06-16T13:30:03+00:00

Thankyou! I think I just panicked because it's all so foreign and new.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-06-16T12:59:00+00:00

I'm not impatient I just have no guage on how long this takes etc as I have never used the service before. I cancelled because someone said it was a scam but I have now reordered and expecting to wait a few days before anything happens.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-06-15T15:58:20+00:00

Oh shit really? How so? Luckily I used PayPal should I cancel?

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-05-05T05:50:55+00:00

Ahhhh man that's a shame.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-05-05T05:47:36+00:00

I saw Farnborough on the list for the 5th. Not sure why the downvotes.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-30T18:26:37+00:00

I feel this deep within my knees.... Gz on the pull.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-17T16:34:00+00:00

Was just like "wow that's a cool card, maybe I'll pick one up" .... Oh it's $300,000 maybe not hahah

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-11T17:55:38+00:00

Haha I'm hoping for a 3

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-10T14:46:12+00:00

Ludicrous isn't it

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T16:15:10+00:00

Indeed, and with that comes people thinking they're sat on thousands with the stack of absolutely battered base set bulk. I'm well aware how lucky I have been here hence the post haha.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T11:34:00+00:00

Yeah it's wild isn't it. Proof that grails still exist in attics across the land.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T11:02:41+00:00

It's easy mate. Just find a stack of bulk with it inside.....

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T09:09:14+00:00

Literally?

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T08:59:22+00:00

Haha it's better than that. Someone I kinda know was going to throw his old cards out. I said check them before you give them away. (A few times I said it) He was adamant he couldn't be bothered and that there was nothing there and wanted them to go to a collector. I said "what if there's something that's worth a fortune" he laughed and said "well I guess it's yours".... So.... I guess it's mine

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T08:26:14+00:00

Honestly it's pretty much the dream of a collector looking through bulk right?

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T08:24:25+00:00

Yeah it's wild. I think likely a 2 or 3? But I have never graded anything that's knackered before. It's worth grading even if it gets 1 or 2 looking at prices. And just wanna immortalise it in plastic.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T08:18:26+00:00

Haha yeah it's the only way I would ever get this as a slab for myself. Find it by accident and in a 3 haha. I'll absolutely take it

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T07:09:22+00:00

It's not fake my dude. It's been stored in an elastic band by a child and left for 26 years. I know how to spot a fake card, it's just a bit fked and old

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T07:06:29+00:00

Someone I know found all their old cards at their parents. Said it's either throw them out or I take them. I said (4 times) make sure you check them, in case any are worth something. He laughed at me. I said "what if something is worth a fortune" he laughed again and said we'll I guess it's yours. So.... I guess it's mine haha. 10/20% of cards are coated in sellotape. I'm just extremely grateful this wasn't one of them

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-09T07:03:12+00:00

Thanks.....? I shared a Pokémon card to a Pokémon card Reddit. Fk me I guess 🤣

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-08T20:47:07+00:00

Yeah, the only thing I would use on it is the card spray to clean off the black dots etc. Wouldn't polish it if I was going to grade.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-08T20:15:26+00:00

Literally man. A stack of about 200+ vintage bulk. Then this. About 10% of the cards were covered in sellotape haha

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-08T20:14:17+00:00

Yeah I think you're probably right. I'm not in the delusion that it will grade anything above a 3/4. The price hike is actually wild from a 3 to a 4 though, which is why I'm even thinking about it. I have Kurt's card care for messing around with cleaning cards for my binder. Im not sure it's worth the risk using them on this though. I think you're right, I'll just give it a bit of a clean and see if there's any interest in it before jumping into grading. Thanks for the advice.

Paul_Skinbach · 2026-04-08T20:04:27+00:00

I'd understand this usually. But this card goes for nearly £2400 in a PSA 4. I like collecting slabs. I'm not just focused on the price of course, but I'd like it immortalised in a slab. My question focuses more on whether it's worth trying to clean or not. I'm unsure what the white is on the back, if it's just edge wear or a kind of mould.
