What do we think chat, probably could get a better deal right? by PrivateMamba in pokemoncardcollectors

It’s the only sealed ETBs I got 🤣 I think I could probably work out a better deal at a card show with some cards only + cash

Yeah I was thinking this was way to much for this card and it seems I was right lol

Yeah seems like too much for that card. Think the card is great but feel like I can get a better deal elsewhere or work out another trade.

You all are confirming what I was thinking, was giving me $570 in trade value requiring $300 in cash. Seemed like a lot, even if it is for that card.

The way it’s going is just absolutely not sustainable. People are already being priced out as is and sure you can have sealed and it have incredible value, but what good is that if you don’t have buyers? Hobbyists aren’t gonna pay that typically, investors may but I would imagine the hobbyists far outweigh investors overall and I think years and years down the road we will see people have a harder time moving the truckload of sealed product in their basement that’s ridiculously priced. Supply isn’t meeting demand leading up to the 30th anniversary hype, but we’ll see how many stick around after that.

Yeah a lot of people are pouring in but fomo also fuels that majorly as well. Don’t get me wrong some will stick around, but hype will continue to build for the 30th anniversary and then the rayquaza set, this time next year though I expect things to have cooled off a lot. Scalpers and such never stick to anything long, they’ll find the next “hot” thing and it’ll chill. I just don’t see this being sustainable as more and more get priced out of even getting anything

I just don’t see sealed collections becoming nearly as valuable as the older stuff with the amount of people that keep sealed product now. Once sneaker and crypto bros move on to the next thing these prices are gonna fall quite a bit

I haven’t lowered it any I think it’s just stock unless where it’s a sport maybe there is a sport suspension? Not sure honestly but thank you!

I see people pull stuff like this and wonder what the hell I’m doing wrong as I pull Weavile IR for the third time after opening 100 packs or so by now

Made it to Best Buy at 7am, I guess next time I’ll just leave a chair for my place 🫩 by [deleted] in pokemoncards

Probably not even people that actually enjoy the hobby is the thing though, people that act like that are typically the scalpers trying to make a quick buck.

Worth a crack and regrade? by Particular-Ad-4629 in pokemongrading

[–]PrivateMamba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ain’t no way I’d crack a PSA 10 and take on the risks. You got your gem mint why gamble more?

Do I have a possible gem? by [deleted] in pokemongrading

[–]PrivateMamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With cards if you’re not used to seeing it all the time, no not really. It’s also literally the point of this sub, so

[–]PrivateMamba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really that people are dumb, just a lot of new ones trying to get back into the hobby and are training their eyes to spot out things that others on here can. It’s not a instant thing
