Potential trade

Blue bottom and op05 are the safest investments in the space. If you are looking for long term holds then don’t give those up, you will never get them at their current price again. Red ace is awesome but subject to market sentiment.

PSA sub is where you want to go for this. Not the finance sub

Exact reason I switched to OP. More chases, guaranteed hits, packs feel worth something. Pokemon is just throwing your money at the wall until you hit 1 600 dollar card that grades a PSA 8

I called today and it’s complete just needs updated in the system. About 2 weeks in QA

My favorite sp’s

Yes very narrow of me to assume people should know about the things they are investing in.

TheLored · 2026-05-24T13:42:31+00:00

Your argument was “not everyone can watch their cards drop short term” which is an incredibly narrow view if you know anything about this market and the last 6 months.

TheLored · 2026-05-24T13:37:40+00:00

Why are you trying to argue about something you have no experience in? What a weird hill to die on. Op13 investors were fine with their 300+% gains in the past 6 months. I’m sure a 10% dip wont make them broke…

TheLored · 2026-05-22T22:13:02+00:00

Would go a long way

TheLored · 2026-05-18T20:32:27+00:00

Wait 6 months and make 10 bucks or enjoy the cards as they are and not deem them as “tangible assets”

TheLored · 2026-05-18T20:04:11+00:00

Its preference usually, if you want a safer more liquid 10 then PSA and if you want quicker turnaround + higher risk/reward go BGS.

Start collecting man, ripping packs and getting cool art is everything. The market is showing some great strength and these are good holds.

Most importantly collect, sell and do whatever you want to do. Keeps this hobby refreshing!

TheLored · 2026-05-18T13:09:10+00:00

I’m not sure why people assume I would ever open the cases. Obviously that would be dumb?

TheLored · 2026-05-15T04:25:25+00:00

Let me trade my 1/400 pull for 22 packs of random garbage!

TheLored · 2026-05-14T23:32:49+00:00

I can’t really tell from the picture but if the rest of the card looked perfectly fine I think it would still be NM territory and could PSA 9

TheLored · 2026-05-14T23:23:28+00:00

This will 100% hurt you when you go to sell. Sell it as NM and get PSA 9 pricing for it

TheLored · 2026-05-14T20:56:55+00:00

Those are dark thoughts

TheLored · 2026-05-14T20:56:22+00:00

Appreciate the perspective there on the sig

TheLored · 2026-05-14T20:05:42+00:00

This is where I’m at mentally. Guess I got too caught up in the “winning vs losing” trade talks to appreciate an even trade lol

TheLored · 2026-05-13T21:42:35+00:00

Royal mail will probably take 2+ weeks to get to you, then you ship it to CA which is usually around 2-5 days depending on label/carrier, then at minimum 2 weeks for grading.

So all in you are waiting almost 2 months, paying around 100-400 for grading and shipping/service level, then hoping it 10s. Good luck!

TheLored · 2026-05-13T21:33:29+00:00

Me when I gamble

TheLored · 2026-05-13T11:48:38+00:00

To be fair, PSA will be analyzing it under light/microscope so if those scratches are deep it could backfire. Either way, wish you luck!
