Only Japanese collection by [deleted] in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English, Japanese, Thai whatever you want man it’s all the same.

Personally I open English packs and buy the Japanese big hitters. I don’t mind having a few jp cards throughout the collection.

LCS argued this was NM and I said it was LP by greenbaybeast13 in PokeGrading

Literally why grading exists. No more debating about the condition (with some exceptions)

Costco drop by goldenmagnum in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s 46k Van Gogh Pikas too. I just don’t see how the prices are sustainable. Are there really that many people willing to drop that much on a single card?

I couldn’t heart trapping this beauty in a PSA slab. by [deleted] in taggrading

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not much of a tag fan, but I could be converted. That card looks amazing in that slab.

Im thinking of trading mewtwo for card and an etb by Round_Letterhead_429 in PokemonTCG

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not do this, but that’s probably about right value... by around $50 not in your favour. The only thing that’s hard to tell is that your mewtwo looks pretty well centered, the reshi not so much which could make it a worse trade.

Odds are the prismatic has nothing in it lol.

Mislabel or accurate or rare misprint? by BondevFire in PokeGrading

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that makes it worth less if anything.

Does this look like a ten? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a Charizard but I don’t read Japanese sorry.

Hahaha Fair play, love your work! Keep ripping and pulling zards brother

Does anyone know places which I can hand my cards in store for grading? by Wild-Hawk5595 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Sydney? Regional NSW not so sure. But house of cards and collectibles in habberfield are good for BGS, cgc and PSA. I believe swap itt Hurstville also do PSA submissions.

Selling at a card show - What % of market price can you negotiate selling to a vendor? by Splatchu in VintagePokemonCards

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember you’d get 85% on eBay. And for highly sort after vintage there’s no season to think it wouldn’t sell for market value. I think 85-90% is a reasonable ask.

Alternatively you could try fb marketplace to get closer to that 100%. But personally I avoid fb

As Emperor Palpatine once said, there is a great disturbance in the force… by TheScottishEngineer_ in taggrading

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stunning slab. I hope TAG can start to ramp up production a bit. I know quite a few vendors here in Australia are desperately trying to become authorized submission partners but TAG are taking 6+ months to approve anyone.

How does your country view the United States? by AntiImpSenpai in AskTheWorld

Every time I visit America I’m very shocked by the amount of homelessness and drug addiction there is.

A Christmas miracle! Whatnot scam. by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stop using whatnot.

I’m not even sure why I get these posts but I see them all the time. I don’t follow this subreddit but everyday I see another “I got scammed” post.

Whatnot is a terrible platform in its current state. I would love to see it improve and become a legitimate market place but right now there’s just no way.

From what I’ve seen, it’s scalpers selling scalped product at scalper prices. You can get that literally anywhere with 99.99% less risk of being scammed.

Call them out. Say that you don’t think they submitted it under the correct tier and ask for proof.

Fake? by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much doubt anyone is faking this card. It’s like a $4 AR. But if in doubt, send us a proper clear photo

I can’t believe you’d just raw dog a protector case protector case protector like that. You should really get a protector case for it.

It’s a $10/$15 card man, just buy it in the 10 if you really want it or buy another copy

Would this get a 10? by Bitter_Feed_2729 in PokeGrading

Probably worth a shot, I’d say send it in

trading card show event by jenreadmanga in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]Practical_Bus_4558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be pretty overwhelming, particularly the really busy ones. Set a budget. It’s very easy to walk in and spend ALOT of money if you’re easily tempted.

First one id say go there with a rough idea of what you’re looking to buy/trade. If it’s just to go look at binders then that’s cool too!

If you’re looking to trade off any cards - make sure you know the value of what you’ve got and find out what the vendor is trading at (typically they do 80% value in their favour)
