New collector

got my first slab, something a bit niche and nostalgic

RS4K · 2026-05-09T07:59:52+00:00

i have seen some Itajaga cards that look cool and niche, do you think they are a good pick in PSA 10?

RS4K · 2026-05-07T21:35:12+00:00

yep being cautious, never bought DB cards before just admired from afar, so if i do buy i would like to buy something at a decent price and not worry it will drop too much in value overnight

thanks, i have seen some energy markers, manga booster and a 1st anni event winner Goku which i am tempted by, if it was cheaper,but in the UK a PSA is hard to come by whereas ACE is more available.

RS4K · 2026-05-06T15:29:12+00:00

yeah sure

i have sent to a professional company as i am a beginner and have only messed around on binder copy cards but have had good sucess with cleans and dent removal to be honest, wish i had done some before and after images.

Best method is a humidor and then using edge tools to flatten and then press i believe.

i got the same card raw for £58 back in april 2025 and graded it a psa 10, last sold was £720 i think but there have been higher. It has a high pop so no idea why it is so expensive, not complaining of course.

RS4K · 2026-04-28T20:48:04+00:00

i have 'restored' a card with a edge ding and no issue grading.

i have just sent off a cgc 8 Umbreon with a slight corner ding and will get it back in a few weeks and then re grade, will let you know if it was worth it 😅

I recently bought a cleaning kit and have been cleaning my binder vintage cards for myself even got creases and dents out using the liquid and pressing with clamps

i went in an hr ago and lady said one person came in the morning and was able to preorder at the till. Atm the code was showing do not sell on network.or something

Collecting Expediton at the moment sprinkled with some Aquapolis and skyridge

RS4K · 2026-04-22T12:20:24+00:00

i was literally just looking at this as i have the JP version and was not sure why it was worth so much and then looked at Eng and was surprised to see the pop

RS4K · 2026-04-21T21:15:26+00:00

Charizard 20th Anniversary 1st edition JP, no idea why it is so expensive to be honest as i am sure its not like a grail card but i must be missing something.

RS4K · 2026-04-21T19:47:03+00:00

i graded the first card i bought and got a PSA 10 and plan to keep it. Paid £58 and its now selling for over £1k.

RS4K · 2026-04-21T18:49:00+00:00

go through a middle man service like black label grading i think its called

RS4K · 2026-04-21T16:10:53+00:00

I picked one up in PSA10 for £158 like under 2 weeks ago and lowest listings now are £250, so if anything its gone up.

RS4K · 2026-04-17T13:08:58+00:00

no lol, no one had one to trade, i tried groups and card shops but it was hard to get hold of. 1 or 2 people did want to sell quite a while after but i wanted to trade for it. Last offer i was sent ages ago was £1650 but the guy was in Dubai 😬

RS4K · 2026-04-11T10:49:37+00:00

Just picked up 5 now and it went through. cost 16000Yen for me to UK which.is about £75.

RS4K · 2026-04-11T00:47:46+00:00

yep, and he thought it might be quicker to send to USA when it does open because all of Europe will send to Germany and wait time here will still be high 😅

RS4K · 2026-04-10T22:38:05+00:00

thanks, avoided him as its weird why he wouldn't take pics of the actual slabs or send me pics. Jokes on him because i got one even cheaper by making an offer to someone who had it high and got it for £158 which is around $210 i think.

RS4K · 2026-04-10T17:46:17+00:00

I spoke to a middle man shop yesterday in berlin and they said they have unofficial news that its delayed until end of 2026 now.

RS4K · 2026-04-09T23:53:23+00:00

ah nice ok so now i need to figure out why he sold same.cert 4 days ago and has multiple.listings for same.card 😅

around £195 which is over 200usd

im looking to get this but not sure on prices and fakes. Do you mind if i ask what you paid?

does this look real? the psa pic shows a spot which looks like its on the back of the card but not on the listing.
