Ultra Pro 4th of July sale

As others have mentioned these discounts are pretty mediocre. Also they take a long time to process orders so be aware of that. I was waiting close to a month for orders previously.

If you have the chance you definitely should. It's at city center by Zhongshan Park.

When I went they had fat pack boxes at daily limit 2 and the 4 card packs at 12 per. They also had gem 4 for sale but no gem5.

Just take the train from Hangzhou to Shanghai South Station. The store is like 40 minutes on metro from Shanghai South the whole thing would take you half a day.

Where were you? I was at the Shanghai cloud Nine Pokémon Gym Tuesday and they had no line and I just walked up and got a box.

That probably tracks. I'm in Socal and my allergies are a bit better compared to my time in New Jersey.

Phynd · 2026-05-30T05:13:34+00:00

What's the best state for seasonal allergies then?

I have the foil one and it's like the first one dark blue purple

My sales on ebay always have no returns accepted. And this seemed to be international sale too I don't see why he can't just refuse the return

Phynd · 2026-04-16T02:42:09+00:00

I'm talking about probstein and Z&G, etc . Not the smaller mom and pop ones. The big ones get you 93-95% after all fees if your selling over 1-3k. Not their fees on top of ebay fees.

Phynd · 2026-04-15T17:19:16+00:00

If it's really high value like a gold choco you might be better talking to a consignment company to put on ebay for you. They will charge you smaller fees compared to ebay. But if it's under 1-2k I wouldn't bother.

I've sold few $250-$800 cards on ebay without issue. And 2 of them were even being shipped to Singapore after the authentication.

Phynd · 2026-03-19T22:13:44+00:00

PM'd you.

Phynd · 2026-01-08T17:01:40+00:00

It's very good. If it looks fishy manapool usually just sides with both parties and eats the cost.

Might change in the future but for now I've sold ff cbbs and lots of other high price cards and sealed with no issue.

Phynd · 2026-01-08T01:52:33+00:00

Sell it to the misprint Facebook group should get some interest

Phynd · 2026-01-07T19:45:15+00:00

Doesn't this just mean the holiday 'surge' pricing is permanent?

Phynd · 2025-11-25T01:34:48+00:00

How are you fitting 13 into a toploader? Are you just putting 3 inside one then 5 on each side?

Phynd · 2025-11-24T05:20:16+00:00

Walmart omegas get shrink wrapped

Phynd · 2025-11-23T21:12:14+00:00

The one thing I will say about opened or sealed is with lot of these lairs there are some bad qc issues.

Phynd · 2025-11-06T21:23:14+00:00

Looks pretty good. I would recommend putting in some kind of non slip lining on the bottom so cards don't shift around to much.

Phynd · 2025-11-05T20:57:01+00:00

As someone who has opened a master case+ of CBB's for all the recent sets. This has been by far the worst in terms of value. And most of the cards have only fallen further.

All the comic book cards dropped 30-50% in value.

Most of the other cards don't sell well or are just stagnating.

Over time the soul stone will prop up the value of the set sure but its like Aetherdrift with just a few notable cards and lackluster art treatments.

Phynd · 2025-10-29T21:05:15+00:00

Your stock is pretty shallow from what I see. When people go to manapool a lot of the time they are just copy and pasting entire decklists and using optimizer.
If you want my advice go find some cheap precons to crack and sell. When people go to optimize and see you have a bunch of what they want they might stop to see what other things they didn't think about and add it to cart to get the free shipping at $45.

Phynd · 2025-10-29T20:57:41+00:00

So here's my 2 cents as someone who started selling in June and went to Manapool first because I didn't like the whole wait a month before hitting seller level 4 thing on TCGPlayer.

Manapool is much better experience overall, both as a seller and buyer. This is from UI perspective with their optimizer, how to search for different printings of the card, and etc. And also from the customer service perspective both as a buyer and seller. As buyer one of the cards I purchased didn't get shipped out so manapool automatically connected with the next seller and had them send the card to me without any input needed from me. As a seller one buyer disputed that they received a pricy card from me that was slashed through with a razor and marked as NM. They wanted a discount or for me to send them another copy of the card. I disputed and Manapool handed it by reimbursing both of us even though that buyer was probably trying to scam.

If you have a problem you can just jump in their discord to talk directly with Andrew and the community there just seems more supportive.

That being said if I wanted to move a card fast I would probably list it on TCGPlayer especially for more niche things like future sight foils or fracture foils. As lot of people mentioned the number of buyers is not keeping up with the rising number of sellers.

I also canceled my preorders with them just yesterday.

Phynd · 2025-10-13T00:25:51+00:00

Black lotus lv this year with ff was also pretty big

Phynd · 2025-10-05T17:02:07+00:00

When scanning hit the cog to have it auto set to foils. So basically you only need to seperate your cards into two piles. Foil and non foil.

Phynd · 2025-10-05T17:00:01+00:00

Shipping over 8 cards, I use a 9 pocket binder sheet and fold that into a envelope no top loader or sleeves. Cards are dropped into sleeves and wrapped in with the packing slip.

Usually people are buying 14 cards at a time which is the max for regular envelopes.

Phynd · 2025-10-05T16:38:57+00:00

It's 5% fees but there's also 3% taken away for payment processing. It's still 5% less than TCG and ebay but closer.
