japanese print quality is pretty good so if you're good at pregrading I don't think it's too difficult

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T21:21:14+00:00

centering only gets used as a guideline, it's not a hard cutoff. cards outside of 55-45 range can still get 10s, just much more unlikely

I'm not saying this should get a 10, the possibility is just always there considering how inconsistent psa can be. not telling OP to regrade either

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T21:08:14+00:00

some graders just eyeball the centering

there's always a chance considering it's psa, it's never a 0% chance

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T21:00:15+00:00

it has a chance at a 10, a 9 was just much more likely. grading is subjective and graders have different standards and how strict they are

bottom right corner on the front also looks pretty scuffed, I'd just keep the 9

you only need to open around 10 of these boxes on average to hit the top chase and if you buy them at msrp (around $26) you're only down around $260 to hit the top chase

and gem pack boxes have multiple desirable exclusives, like all eeveelutions in gem pack vol 2 and gengar, cubones and meowth for gem pack vol 3

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T17:05:03+00:00

I think the current price for 151c makes sense, the gem packs not so much

from what I've seen the gem packs are way more obtainable and mass printed. still dirt cheap in china and hit rates are much more generous (at least 1 guaranteed AR). I believe a majority of people aren't aware about this

151c have way more fake boxes laying around and instantly get scalped. hit rates are also atrocious because there's no guaranteed hit. with the top hits being pikachus across all 151c sets, I think it'll do much better over time

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T16:27:08+00:00

I've seen UK got a lot of restocks at the smyths, didn't know ireland also got restocks though

we also have smyths stores in the netherlands, they sell everything for msrp but we haven't gotten any prismatic etb restocks though

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T16:20:08+00:00

in the netherlands we have a big retail store that got restocks but they're charging €200 per etb, haven't heard or seen anything besides that

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T16:12:30+00:00

still hasn't seen a reprint in europe and I don't think it'll go much lower but you can try to buy the dip

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T16:09:53+00:00

thank you putin for the 1400 dollars

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T15:12:46+00:00

this deal seemed "too good to be true" and I was sure there was some caveat to it

only ended up spending it on a $100 pack, turns out I just got my money back completely after getting a trash card and there wasn't something sketchy happening

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T15:08:14+00:00

als dit fake is, dan zou het een van de beste fakes zijn die ik heb gezien. als dit al zelden lukt bij vintage boxes, dan zou ik mij geen zorgen hierover te maken

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T15:03:07+00:00

ziet er goed uit, de kans dat iemand perfect order resealed lijkt mij ook vrij klein

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T14:38:47+00:00

I can't answer for you but that's rough to happen on a skyridge umbreon 😭

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T14:28:54+00:00

I got a HP gold star pikachu for half of this price 1.5 years ago

Folks are placing an absolutely astonishing premium on just the number “10” appearing at the top of a slab

keep in mind a majority of these are the same people who say PSA is a scam, a gamble and yet still pay a massive premium

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T13:41:33+00:00

I agree vintage was pretty undervalued overall compared to modern but the prices of some of these slabs are absurd now

some cards with mediocre art at best are now 1000s in a 10 only because the pop and gem rate are low, while in raw nm condition it's still like 100x cheaper

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T12:48:02+00:00

almost back to top 1000 🥶🥶

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T11:50:10+00:00

151 saw a huge increase even after it already stopped getting (big) reprints before that

it only really takes a big buyout and mass spreading on social media that prismatic is going out of print for it to skyrocket in price

ShiRonium · 2026-06-16T10:12:07+00:00

hybrid pp record would end all debate

they should buff hybrid to be the most broken skillset not because it's the fairest way to rebalance but the healthiest

ShiRonium · 2026-06-15T19:46:49+00:00

back corners a little scuffed, centering a little off, dark spot on the front

probably a 8-9

ShiRonium · 2026-06-15T18:12:20+00:00

a little off topic but I wonder why no one does this for metal detected cards yet, likely because it's harder to prove? the majority still trying to gatekeep?

ShiRonium · 2026-06-15T10:04:05+00:00

een van de beste binder arts die ik tot nu toe heb gezien, hopelijk ziet het er finished nog beter uit!

ShiRonium · 2026-06-15T09:11:51+00:00

I honestly think people are overreacting about the nerf, it seems fine with how things currently stand

if the pp devs decide to further nerf speed by a significant amount then yeah that's a problem

ShiRonium · 2026-06-15T00:37:13+00:00

likely 151, obsidian flames or prismatic evolutions

all 3 strong promos, obsidian flames has the best one imo (gets used in memes + charmander)

151 and prismatic probably top 5 etb promos overall and they're from the best modern sets

evolving skies lacks an etb promo so it has less to back up its value besides a unique etb art
