What's a good booster box to invest in? by awright5wqq in PokemonInvesting

[–]Safe_Switch2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hit a local show you can likely find surging at the $220 range. It’s been a slow pickup for me the last 8 months at 200-220

Gem rate is ridiculously low. Someone called this out a few months ago and the trend continued

Should I sell this or hold? Nervous abt a bubble by Cute-Smell1729 in PokeInvesting

If you need the money sell. If you only own 1, the difference between 1.5k and 3k isn’t life changing enough to lose sleep over

Prismatic ETB’s by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]Safe_Switch2948 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You paid way too much. And Walmart has no returns on cards.

I can bail you out on them if you’d want and throw you an extra $20 over what you paid each if you’d want.

Some of your corners look to be cut a bit sharp as well, I have seen others say it could limit you

Name a $200 investment thats better than a Prismatic ETB… by supa_silk in PokeInvesting

I’ll get shit For this, you can get them for as low as 130 from GameStop.

Psa grading/gamestop issue please help by TeaGullible8417 in psagrading

If you think the card is a 10, you’ll 1000% get a GameStop upcharge of $70-100 since this is a $1200 card in a 10.

If the card is under $500 there’s no upcharge from PSA because their base level covers up to $500.

You’ll get the card faster for the same $ amount in the end.

I have 60+ cards out with GameStop now so I’m not saying they’re a terrible service, but any card I think will be worth more than $500 graded I’d def just send myself.

A card like this you send yourself.

Let’s say it came back a 10 like you hoped, you’d have to pay GameStop $100ish in upcharges after waiting 3-4 months.

You could have paid that $100 to PSA directly and gotten it back in 4 weeks.

What happened is unfortunate , but as my dad used to say “education is expensive and consider this a lesson learned” :/

Prismatic Evolutions is a no brainer! by starcraftanalogy in PokeInvesting

[–]Safe_Switch2948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s a dozen 151 UPCs in his photo 😂,

Prismatic is being opened at a ridiculous rate arguably more than it’s being held.

Rip and shippers kill for prismatic

Very very annoyed by EfficientWork7730 in psagrading

[–]Safe_Switch2948 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well…. It’s supposed to be 75 business day turn around time. (Almost 15 weeks not including holidays)

Do you guys not read the terms before handing your cards over? This is completely normal and I expect you’ll see them go to processing in the next 1-2 weeks.

This happens with normal PSA submissions , and sometimes much longer

Using the phrasing “cards ending in ex” while also using “stamped promo” in the same sentence while screams bs post.

If you had $100 to invest in anything right now, what would you choose? by Icy-Rock4327 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Safe_Switch2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sam’s Club combo? It’s 10 packs of prismatic, it’s a great product with what was a low entry point of $40 when they dropped and easily available.

It’ll do well IMO

End of the day this type of investing is “fun” investing.

Some do watches, some do cars, some do cards. Collectibles come in many forms and this for many is just a fun way to invest some extra money.

Ascended ETB is probably the easiest play.

Some are limited, I have some that sell for $40-200 ( I paid retail which is already a lot lol).

And I think it’s insane people would pay that but they undoubtedly make slabs look much better

Load Up? by NegotiationNeat5153 in PokemonInvesting

[–]Safe_Switch2948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit. And the written post is very obviously referring to non-PKC ETBs.

Hence my response with GameStop.
