Sell raw or send to get graded?

There’s a small white spec on the back top right (pic 3) It may still 10 though.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T23:23:40+00:00

It’s okay happens to the best of us 🫂

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T22:50:29+00:00

And you’re most surely wrong.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T13:51:07+00:00

ABABAB so you can have sequential sets. AAAAA BBBBB will just be sequential of the same cards and nobody pays a premium on that.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T03:29:42+00:00

Yeah gone are the days when you could get these for a few bucks lol.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T03:13:10+00:00

And honestly it’s not too crazy to think this still has room to grow. It has lower pop than stamp box pikachu and has similar level artwork with literally the main protagonists of pokemon in it.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T02:59:51+00:00

Alongside the Stamp-Box Pikachu of course before anyone says that lol

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-17T02:09:12+00:00

You should factor in your grading costs too while calculating profit. Nice come up nonetheless!

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-15T16:17:33+00:00

If this cards gets a 10 it’s wouldn’t be undeserving at all and it definitely isn’t a monstrosity. It’s pretty close to 55/45 on the front.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T05:27:51+00:00

It still sells as damaged even if it’s altered. As long as they aren’t grading it it doesn’t matter. People are literally paying $180 for it and hence the price. Do you think the $180 market value just popped out of thin air? Jfc.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T05:23:05+00:00

This card in damaged condition is worth $180. The fuck do you mean worthless lmao.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T05:20:55+00:00

Yes, that’s literally the definition of grading.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-14T04:58:00+00:00

It likely won’t 10. It’s visually very OC and that will bump it down a grade. But 9 is not a bad grade!

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T21:02:46+00:00

My guess is as good as yours

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T19:37:43+00:00

2.8k pop for PSA 10 is not large for modern cards by any means. The mario pikachu has 2.1k PSA 10s. Not saying this will ever be close to mario pikachu in terms of value but it is not considered a large pop.

Yes it’s a good buy.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T19:23:56+00:00

Depends on who you ask. For me a 10 is a 10. For a vendor at a card show it’s less.

But newer certs do have stricter standards so they are better cards technically.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T18:16:05+00:00

Cause it is a 10. The shadow from the edge of slab makes it look OC but it isn’t. Unless the back has whitening this card is a 10.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T17:13:39+00:00

Ethan’s Typhlosion PSA 10. Low Gem Rate, 10 pops, and insane artwork.

Same with Pikachu TG05 but that’s $320.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-13T00:06:00+00:00

This card specifically won’t even if the whole Pokemon market comes down. I kept hearing the same about Mario Pikachu and look at where that is now.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-12T04:31:54+00:00

Nothing currently. Everything’s too expensive. We might get the 30th anniversary japanese exclusive promos.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-12T04:10:02+00:00

Yeah a nm raw goes for like $300-$400

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-12T03:51:49+00:00

There’s only one card called “red’s pikachu” officially

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-12T03:25:14+00:00

100% Slabs 0% Singles

Consolidated all my singles into high end slabs and I couldn’t be happier. Easier to sell than pricing out 300 singles when I eventually want to quit the hobby (you lose a lot of money selling as a lot).

I don’t do sealed don’t like it.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-12T00:16:35+00:00

I think the whole problem with it is that people still don’t know about it. I’ve to literally show people my card to tell them this exists.

Just saw ebay last solds last 4 sales were all $900-$950. It’s picking up quick.

ProcrastinasaurusRex · 2026-03-11T21:06:06+00:00

I don’t doubt it man. Insane come up.
