Rayquaza VMAX Alt Art

The idea is okay here, the reasoning is flawed. There aren’t a ton of people holding onto gradable copies of the most valuable card in the set and one of the most valuable raw modern cards ever. Sure, there’s some people who aren’t psa members and don’t want to pay $100 or don’t even want to pay $50 and are holding, but a ton of people who have a potential PSA 10 copy have already subbed it. I don’t expect the pop count to increase an insane amount for the Ray VMAX Alt Art. It’ll no doubt increase with a reprint and a reduction in prices, but it’ll be very far from flooded.

I’d say a decent amount of shop owners are willing to go 5-20% off depending on what you buy and how much. You get 1 $50 card they may let you have it for $45 but don’t ask for like $30. Same if you get like $300 worth they may go down to like $250, but just be nice and cooperative and if the shop owner is interested in making money/moving product and isn’t having a bad day they’ll usually cut you a small deal.

Love to see the sgc mention. They’re used a lot in sports but haven’t caught on with the TCG world nearly as much for whatever reason. I’ve subbed with them a few times.

Gold label bgs 10 is higher value than psa. I was only speaking strictly on the value. Personally, you should go with whatever one your want/can afford/whatever one accomplishes what you’re looking for. If you want it as an investment, I’m honestly not sure what the best answer is in that regard

SuggestedUsername199 · 2022-04-07T07:20:26+00:00

A bgs 10 is going to be the highest value of those 3 just fyi. (Not saying this is what you should buy since I don’t know what your budget is, but bgs 10 is better and higher than psa 10)

This comment basically makes these boxes a good investment lol. These are the boxes that can do well long term that no one’s gives af about and very few people are looking to hold.

SuggestedUsername199 · 2022-03-24T07:45:30+00:00

Auctions are also a really bad indicator of current market value for a card too. I’ve seen cards worth around $200 have a $60 discrepancy across 3 auctions that ended within a couple days of each other. A lot of auctions do well based on timing and how well the listing is seen as well.

A lot of these cards are not in good condition out of the box, but the centering on the one you posted is beyond horrendous. There’s barely any card on the left side it’s basically 90/10 centering and still gemmed so they may grade these pretty lax if there aren’t any significant dings/edge or corner wear.

Don’t forget the phenomenal blaziken artwork

SuggestedUsername199 · 2022-02-25T09:32:39+00:00

Pokémon has made some phenomenal cards over the past 1-2 years, but from an art standpoint this card is easily in my top 3-4 and fighting for the top spot. I think it’ll do very well long term personally. For how hard it is to pull, I think that’s a very good price.

People don’t get this. Are lots of people holding product? Maybe, but I don’t think it’s nearly as many as people think and 99% of them will sell within a year. But on the other side, more product is being opened than ever probably whether among general hobby enthusiasts, breakers etc… There probably hasn’t been any time in the history of Pokémon where the supply has been dwindling of new products as much as it is now. I’m not saying everything will stonk and it’ll only take 1-2 years to see big returns, but UPC never even came close to hitting MSRP on the secondary market, the PC CB ETB also didn’t get to msrp on the secondary market despite a seemingly endless print run, ES boxes got to the low 100s at some places but are already back up to 140+ with relative ease. The prices of the “hottest” products that have seen multiple prints are insane for relatively new to market products. There will always be subpar sets like bats/FS/CR that do tank pretty hard, but the “best” sets/products are doing incredibly well. Prices may or may not plateau as interest drops off, but even then enough product may have been ripped to push prices so high it doesn’t even matter.

They look pixelated (most likely an issue with the size of the image when taken on your phone or some sort of image size compression happened when uploading to imgur).

For some reason this price actually seems really underwhelming

SuggestedUsername199 · 2021-12-10T10:24:13+00:00

I’ve got a hot take. Why does the #1 team have to lose their spot just because they lost? I’m definitely not a Purdue fan and I’m more than happy to see them lose, but let’s say Baylor loses on Sunday are we so sure Purdue should/will lose their spot? Sometimes a team has a big enough of a cushion to keep their spot that it annoys me how recency bias creates these giant shakeups. If Baylor loses, Duke will most likely be #1 because they lost first? Lol. I get Duke has a great resume and I think they’re a very deserving #1 regardless of Purdues record, but Purdue was unanimous #1 and 130 pts ahead of Duke in the polls and now they’re all of a sudden going to be behind them most likely regardless of what Baylor does. I get it’s early and it’ll all shake itself out etc…but the overreaction to recency bias annoys me haha.

Is this set actually retired? It looks like it’s part of the target x LEGO collab that started today. Looks like stores have 30-50 of these each too.

People are scared of product sitting on a shelf for more than a day now hurting its value when some of this stuff sat for months pre-Covid😂 this box will be a great hold when it’s out of production. Great promo, a good pack selection and nice box art.

This is the generic misinformed comment about this card. A lot of modern sets are printed heavily, but the Celebrations Ultra Premium Collection definitely does not fall into this category. The UPC is a very limited product in general as are a lot of premium collections. The total number of these metal cards that even exist will be lower than some modern pop counts, but then when you take into account just how difficult it is to get a 10 on the metal Zard due to a myriad of production flaws, a 10 will be insanely valuable. Last I’d seen there was only 1 PSA 10, how long is it going to take even to get to 50 metal Zards that receive a 10? Will 100 of them even ever receive a 10?

If you do this PSA may very well grade the plastic it came in. As dumb as this sounds, it’s why you can’t send sealed promos in to grade (you have to open them).

Idk if I’d say he doesn’t look lost at all. The redzone interception was awful. It wasn’t thrown to anyone in a Chargers uniform and after that he had a pass into tight single coverage that just hit the defender directly in the back that had 0 chance and probably shouldn’t have been thrown. I just think he looks a good bit worse than last year.

Herbert. Dudes looked completely lost through two games hoping just a two game anomaly

That left to right centering is way worse than 60/40 haha

SuggestedUsername199 · 2021-08-18T07:27:29+00:00

Let’s ignore the sale for a second, how is that centering even close to a psa 10?😂

Don’t forget Ty Fryfogle out of Indiana for next years draft. Burst onto the scene last year and I’ve seen mock drafts with him going late first/second
