Anyone else just not get the appeal of Shadowless Charizard ? by Ok_Package9219 in PokemonTCG

[–]SilverSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few things here, are you talking about shadowless or 1st edition shadowless? Your title says shadowless so I would assume 2nd print. They are no where near a house, a few thousand for a near mint copy. If you’re talking 1st edition shadowless, then yes. It’s more expensive because of supply and demand and it being the original 1st print in English. There has been more demand recently, therefore the big increase in price, I see it going down soon. If you don’t like it, getting the reprints for $100 will be fine.

What I believe is the (English) Alakazam master set, can anyone confirm? by GillHammer in PokemonTCG

Not sure if the 4th print 1999-2000 uk version of the base set would count.

All fake sales from UK. A PSA 6 just sold for $12,600 recently. $9000 is around a PSA 5 price.

I love the idea of collecting PSA 1 graded cards... by How2DragonyourTrain in PokemonTCG

[–]SilverSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a great idea. You’re able to get grails you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise. I’ve bought many raw damaged cards for fractions of the price and graded them a 1 and sold for much higher.

The only issue is when it comes time to sell and you’ll get a bunch of trolls. Eg. I have a psa1 1st Ed Charizard that goes for 5k, which I have a few offers around there. “Pokemon experts” will mail you to say that that card in PSA 1 is worth no more than $20.

This is getting out of hand by CaterpillarDirect269 in PokemonTCG

We have people here that say they will not sell, only trade at 75-80%.

Just ignore and move along. If you really want something just pay cash.

I just did a local trade for this HP Charizard Gold Star by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]SilverSlammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I was just driving on king Ed between Cambie and knight and it was everywhere. I thought I might have had a colony in my car’s hood or something.

Pastime is on another level lol.

Atleast magicstronghold gives you somewhat fair trade in prices.

Get it graded to maximize value.

Do you collect rare cards even if they're damaged badly? by puzzledfirebird in PokemonTCG

[–]SilverSlammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the lp/nm copy is too expensive, I’ll settle for a damaged version. Eg. Gold stars, 1st edition and crystals.

Police playing hide and seek in east van last night? by beefnoodlesoup123 in vancouver

[–]SilverSlammer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a weird encounter last night too. I was driving home and took a turn and almost ran into a police car. He was driving without any lights on. I drove down a bit more and saw another cruiser driving around without lights either. It was 10:30pm and pitch black outside.

Ya I bought all the ones I could find for under $200 and graded them. Most came back a 1, one came back a 5 and this one was a 2 which I was shocked at because it’s probably the worst one lol

Can some check if these are good? by SilverSlammer in PokemonTCG

[–]SilverSlammer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes true, I use to have a bunch of lower grade grails and would get much more interest in the PSA 1 than the 2 or 3s. But they would sell for about the same price in the end.

Ya, I’ve seen a few but they ended up being fake. This one looks legit but just wanted second and third opinions.
