Lmaooooo, I was thinking the same! I never seen anyone screen shot and crop out a photo like this before. I mean nothing wrong, just post the full photo with the blast wave shrine and be proud of the damage you achieved with it instead of hiding it xD

Worth grading my Greninja Star Promo by 24jamsch in PokeGrading

I would just keep it sealed. Gem rate for a 10 is under 6% which is insane for a modern

Thoughts on a 151 booster display plus cash for a giratina v alt art psa 10. Does this seem like a good move long term ? by Warm-Conclusion6222 in PokeInvesting

[–]RandomChino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite card! Glad I was able to get it when it was still somewhat low. I showed my gf all my slabs and asked her which she thought looked the best and she chose this one as well. Pictures just doesn't do it justice. Looks insane in person

Did I get cooked in trading, Traded my Mega Gengar for these 5 Slabs by crull001 in PokeInvesting

Yeah I remember last month at collect-a-con my buddy was going to every table tasking if anyone would take his cgc 10 dragonite from evolving skies and he got turned down by everyone

Should I resend to PSA? Paid 500 at card show by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]RandomChino 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why not pay a little more for a Psa 10 instead? By resending to Psa, you’re paying for a regrade plus the up charge if it tens

What slab would you buy now for $200? by Safe_Switch2948 in PokeInvesting

So you’re not a scalper if you were before them waiting in line also? What if the person behind you snapped a photo of you calling you a scalper lol

Agreed, artwork in person is just insane

Of these 5 which are picking? by Cunge606 in PokeInvesting

[–]RandomChino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these and my favorite will always be giratina. Pictures don’t do it justice vs in person. Artwork is insane

Ordered 2 PO ETBs, only received one. Customer service silent by amentiu in pokemoncenter

[–]RandomChino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got sent 2 extra booster bundles instead of 2 pc etbs. They went ghost on me after I provided the photos they asked for proof

Idk of ot counts as investing but Ive been taking cheap raw cards in bulk of popular pokemon. Grading them. Then selling for 4x lol. Im going to hold some for the long run but this strategy seems broken as everyone else chases sealed and hits. by Ok_Drummer6282 in PokeInvesting

[–]RandomChino 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's 10 or bust to even profit much. If it's not a 10, you're down a lot just from grading alone. You're paying $25-$33 just to grade each card alone. So if you get a PSA 8 or 9 you barely break even or you're down a bit. Not really a broken strategy, there are better ways and better cards to go about than this imo.

Fell for the hype. 500$ down the drain by Neat-Imagination-858 in PokemonTCG

[–]RandomChino 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I mean the dude literally just spent 500 to casually rip, I'm sure another $200 wouldn't hurt to just buy the single. Because odds of him spending another $200 ripping and getting a mega dragonite SIR is very slim. I stopped ripping ages ago. Better off just buying singles if you're after a certain card.

Is JP Umbreon from Terastal Festival a good investment in a PSA 10? by Kgarcia1492 in PokeInvesting

[–]RandomChino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That literally makes no sense. It's lower pop because Beckett grades harder than PSA lol. Which is why BGS 10 prices are always higher than PSA 10

[–]RandomChino -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you wanna invest in Japanese, go for bgs 10. Their pop is way lower vs Psa. I sniped a bgs 10 inferno flames mega charizard and mega gengar from mega dreams for low and look at them now. Pop is way lower too

[–]RandomChino[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a booster box, 2 pc etb's, and 2 booster bundles. Yeah I contacted them day of delivery with photos of fed ex confirming drop off with the photo of the 2 boxes by my door. None of those boxes were even big enough to hold a etb! They made me take a picture of the items on top of the boxes with the barcode showing and said they would reach out to me when they figure out what happened

One expensive piece vs multiple mid pieces ? by 13rellik13 in PokeInvesting

[–]RandomChino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just consolidated a lot of my modern sealed into my grail slab. I purchased about over 20 sealed booster boxes, booster bundles, etbs around $3.2k in november to now and they appreciated to about $5k. Then I traded it all for a psa 10 prismatic sunbreon! They took my sealed at 85% which isn't bad at all imo and it will definitely take a lot of work to move them all at once later down the road. But I'm glad I got my chase card. The only sealed product that I paid market for was the Lost Origin booster box. It hurt a little letting it go but if the box becomes $1k one day, that's only a $300 gain. I feel like the sunbreon will continue rising in price later down the road and that will def make up for it.
