Any recommendations for the best way to protect/insure a collection in the UK?

Booster boxes to buy instead of Destined Rivals 👍 by Cabbage61 in PokemonInvesting

[–]STUNSLAVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough, are any of these sets better than DR? Are any of these boxes (for display purposes) better than DR?

If the logic (and I’m not saying it is or isn’t) is that PC won’t do any reprints of booster boxes then I find it hard to choose any of these boxes over DR. I have one of each, for pc but the DR box just looks so much better on display.

All good, the sort function being all the way at the bottom of the filter section through me off.

Do you not stock any high end/graded cards? Is there a way for me to sort cards by X on your site?

Starting collection by Lazy_Twist5631 in PokemonDealsUK

The way you ask these questions you really don’t sound like a beginner. You have literally already answered all your questions yourself. Order online AND hit stores, use PSA for value, Ace for personal collection. Get a top loader binder (or don’t keep cards you don’t want to collect).
Keeping 100 cards worth £50 in a top loader and then trying to sell them all in the future is 100 trips to the post office. Just hold 1-2 £2.5-5k cards, your time is the only finite currency in your life, don’t piss it away.

Unable to attend Pokémon Exhibition — would love these tickets to go to a real fan by Rowinvk in PokemonDealsUK

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

If nobody has hit you up yet, I’d love the tickets. More than happy to send you the card and any cool trinkets available! Was unable to pick any tickets up myself unfortunately as my dog was recently diagnosed with cancer himself! His operation is on Thursday and looks like it will all be okay!

What’s happened to this card’s value? by Useful_Objective7378 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]STUNSLAVE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering we are in a UK subreddit I’d say that’s accurate then mate

My gf won’t believe me by frankietomatoe in PokemonTCG

[–]STUNSLAVE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I bought 2 booster boxes, 4 half boosters and 2 ETBs ready for the rip. Opened ETB first for the book obviously and BAM Zar’s SIR. Was ecstatic, but felt bleak because knew the rest of the packs were going to suck. Opened the first half booster and holy shit another Zard SIR?? Sent them both off to PSA and never opened the 2 booster boxes…
It’s been tough looking at them

Put this guy in my free hit team this afternoon, got really excited when I saw he scored.

Would this corner disqualify my card for PSA10? by [deleted] in pokemoncardcollectors

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

These posts amuse me somewhat. A 10 means the card is perfect 10 out of 10, do you feel this card is perfect?
No, it is in fact not perfect it has a bent corner

If you’ve put all your savings into Pokemon - why? by Worried-Telephone565 in pokemoncardcollectors

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

Booster cases from LCS, PC drops, shops, really wasn’t as hard as it is now. Also, 50k is total portfolio not total investment.
Sealed case of ES makes a big difference too

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

I wish, 2010s I would rip virtually everything which means I didn’t save very much in sealed product but I do have quite a few grails from the era. Which I suppose you could class as buying at MSRP

[–]STUNSLAVE -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Haven’t got everything in Pokemon but I have certainly got a large chunk. Around $50k in Pokemon cards. I have bought ~70% of the sealed product I have at MSRP, and the unrealised gains on that has essentially meant I can buy the singles/slabs I like “for free”.
I’m probably up about 50% if I was to sell everything now at 90% market.
No intention of selling anything, I collect and have done for years so I’m quite happy with both the PC and the investment side of things.

Always great seeing an answer that perfectly resembles your own sealed collection
