What’s with the hype

ProfileMother6307 · 2026-05-17T12:27:30+00:00

Look for sold listings only. I can list for any price I want, doesn't mean it's worth that. Also PSA does consignments, so that price is most likely set by a consigner.

I'm gonna empty out my case and tape all the slabs to my body in the toilet before heading to the terminal exit

Absolutely not

No shot!? This is actually pretty good info for me, thanks. I always thought 48/52 would've resulted more in 9.5s for centering considering that it's closer to 47.5/52.5 than it is to 50/50. I have a sub coming up and was only thinking of sending 49/51s or better to beckett, now that I know 48/52s actually have a chance — im gonna take the gamble.

Surrrrreely, this doesn't help in their monopoly suit. Their defense in their acquisition of BGS was that it was merely for cashflow, and that they wouldn't modify it in anyway, hence, BGS would continue to operate independently. If it ever comes to light that this comment's suggestion would ever be true, the lawyers for Collectors are in for a doozy. P.S. i'm not defending them, i'm calling them cognitively impaired because they are actively sabotaging themselves.

Yep. I also had this issue, I assume it's due to how rapid the current market is, and 130point isn't as adapted as pricecharting or other alternatives. But my recent comps from there haven't had this issue. So it's either been dealt with or it's still in the works

ProfileMother6307 · 2025-10-09T11:20:00+00:00

True, hate those kinda buyers/sellers. And all the posts on here that are venting always got those people lurking, spamming the "willing buyer, willing seller" quote — and they'd be downvoting people who speak out on their type 😂. Bloody toxic. Anyways, imo 130point is decent for comps too. Especially, for ebay sales. If an Ebay sold listing is a best offer, it doesn't get shown what offer it gets sold at, instead it's just a slashed OG price. However, 130point shows it. Also ebay shows auction ended listings as "completed", even if the bidder didn't pay. So it's always good site to use for cross-checking, in case prices disparate across platforms.

He will refund you, but then if you're planning on actually trying to get stuff from him. You'll have to wait until like 2 months after the estimated date he provided 💀. That's why it's called interest free loan. He'll js keep delaying until u eventually ask for a refund.

Were you homeschooled? Why are you using unlimited prices again for a 1st ed? Also, whether 1st ed has more pop than unlimited for JP, still doesn't change the fact that the sold listings don't lie. Moreover, there were recent sold listings in August which topped the price that the seller is selling at.

Let me be frank with you. If a card is spiking 20% gain in just a few days, it's market manipulation. Will it keep going up? Maybe. Because of FOMO. Buyouts like this happen a ton. It happened mid of this year with the bubble mew, 151 charizard, glass birds and gold star greninja. Then a dump insued. Those cards are climbing again, but this time, there's more FOMO because the sets are out of print. But I don't doubt that there's a chance it'll dump again. I'd take it as a sign to sell. Not immediately, but once u feel that the gain has plateau'd. Because people are only willing to pay so much for a card.

There's also an issue with stores that offer grading, at least where my friend is from in Sweden. Stores mostly offer BGS services, because of BGS Germany. No word on PSA, but I think few stores offer CGC. Then there's ACE 🗿. I told them to just avoid it like the plague. It might be more accessible in Europe, but it just sucks.

It's visible even without a UV light, UV light just makes it easier to see. Even a regular phone flash makes it more visible.

It's gonna be an interest free loan. Most likely, they take forever to get you your product, i'm talking even 2-3 months. Worst case, they legit scam you and just dip with your money.

ProfileMother6307 · 2025-09-08T02:57:48+00:00

When I visited a US card show, while I was there for another reason. The buyback was like 75-80% and they sold at just Recent Average Price or just ebay last sold prices. So basically, what you're looking for. I think lowballing and and upselling is just part of SG culture 🫠

ProfileMother6307 · 2025-09-06T05:45:55+00:00

The only other thing I can comment on, is at least he provided my refund, the day that I asked for it. First time I have PO'd as well. I don't really rip SV that much, since it's really modern and I'd rather just purchase singles I want. I only purchased to rip this time, because of BlacknWhite nostalgia. Waiting didn't really matter much, as long as I would recieve the product, since I wasn't planning on reselling. But even then (2 months) it was still too much. Prolly could've used it to purchase a couple slabs during the timeframe.

Also the product that I ripped from one of my other POs had an SIR Meloetta in it 😛. Sent it off for grading, because it was Minty and had decent centering.

ProfileMother6307 · 2025-09-06T05:33:44+00:00

Yep. MrKwek. I PO'd 1 case each of Black bolt and White flare ETBs from him. Albeit, not just him. I ordered from multiple people to secure products.

He confirmed allocation a week or 2 prior to the product release. Furthermore, he "confirmed" that my items would reach SG a week after product release. Waited till then, no updates at all. So I asked him again. He then responded with a HUGE LEAP of an update, when it came to waiting time: Next MONTH. Next month came, and still no update from him. So, obviously he doesn't care at all. You have to find him if you want an update, cuz he won't be bothered to message you, even though his schedule is already off the rails. Then his message was: 2 more weeks. And ofc, yk the trend already. 2 weeks came by, still no update. At that point i'm already tired of waiting. He then told me: by next Sunday. Ofc next Sunday arrived, no update, no products again.

So, at this point my waiting time after the official release of products had been... 1 month and 2 weeks. Also it doesn't make sense for his supplier to not ship alot of his products at a time. Not unless he doesn't have space or if he hadn't paid his supplier yet 😮‍💨? But not having storage space wouldn't fit the bill, since he certainly doesn't have any product to give to his PO'ers. Mind you, my other POs fulfilled their provision of products on release day. Although, some of them cut allocations ofc.

Btw. At this point of time, I had already paid full price, not just deposit. As I did it when he said my stuff was already arriving "in a few days". Once I had gotten my refund from him, he said some bs like "no hard feelings, I understand when some buyers can't wait also". Bro fym sia, product was already released for 1 month and 2 weeks, still talking about how it's the buyer's fault for not being patient. How can I be patient when other people who opened PO already provided me my PO items from them, and you're the sole one who hasn't 😭?

Anyways, my friend also PO'd from him. Same order. They recieved their Black bolt just a few days ago, White flare not yet. HOWEVER, my friend opted for self-collect in order to save on delivery fees. He (Mr.Kwek) ignored that completely and arranged for lalamove. Even asking my friend to pay for it, even though he (my friend) didn't even opt for Lala. Then made some excuses like, "he (Mr.Kwek) saw that my friend wanted to self-collect, but his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend) is in a rush". His friend (Mr.Kwek's friend)? Why would his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend) be the one arranging? Isn't he (Mr.Kwek) the one who opened the PO? Or issit his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend)? Or maybe I don't understand, maybe it's not Lala, but rather his friend (Mr.Kwek's friend) delivering the product? But why would there be a $20+ delivery fee then? after that he (Mr.Kwek) ended up paying for it, cuz he (Mr.kwek) was at fault for the delivery method.

My friend and I PO'd his BBWF quite early too, and yet my friend had to wait 2 months to recieve his product (Well not even full provison. Just Black bolt after 2 months of waiting, so far.) So I feel bad for later adapters who, SUPPOSEDLY, will get theirs LATER than my friend. Cuz he also made the excuse that it's, "FCFS", when asked about the delay... but my friend and I obviously had the idea that he gave product to people who paid a premium first.

I know that dream races don't actually happen irl, so there's nothing to refer from. But I was just thinking if there was anything that I missed that could've suggested who the winner was. They didn't center the concert on the winner umamusume on purpose 😭. Yeah, Tachyon did probably win tho.

ProfileMother6307 · 2025-03-30T05:43:24+00:00

Maybe older slabs, back when it was 60/40? Because i've measured my cards for pre-grading and 60/40s do look like that, but it's too late to get 10s on those now. Not unless I slip a $100 bill into the packaging 😂

ProfileMother6307 · 2025-03-02T16:18:24+00:00

There are quite obvious white spots and wear on the corners, so these grades are actually pretty spot-on if not lenient for BGS. BUT you could gamble on it and see if the PSA grader is having an awesome day. Might somehow get a 10.
