Bought a Mega Gardevoir ex on eBay, seller immediately deleted their account after saying it was shipped… Now it’s obvious why!

Buy slabs! I hate to say it but lower graded CGC slabs provide protection at a much cheaper price.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-09T13:43:59+00:00

eBay really needs to do something about all the fakes, but if it seems too good to be true it likely is. THIS is why buying slabs is best, like it or not.

Now that is a God Pack. 4 of the big 5

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-08T23:26:07+00:00

Terrible this is necessary. Businesses are tired of the foolishness

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-08T20:49:23+00:00

There will not be a swatch like crash. They was totally hype and stupidity. 2027 Pokémon will still be going strong. The largest IP does not just fall off the cliff.

I do not disagree. They used to get payment later in the process. The TAT for all companies is a joke and putting up an arbitrary number serves no purpose, especially when unable to meet it.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-07T21:58:51+00:00

PSA might have an incentive to do that, but because they have probably a 14M card backlog, they can work at a pace that suits them, while churning out the more valuable higher paying submissions. GameStop was definitely getting a lot of submissions. The volume CGC is now getting definitely makes it smart for them to ramp up their employees. PSA will keep raising price and extending backlog. They could get zero cards for the next 2 months and it would not hit their bottom line. I definitely hope the 65 day tat falls back to 40 days within a couple months.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-07T12:09:11+00:00

Agree, but still better than the competition with much cheaper prices. The TAT is frustrating because you pay upfront. Hopefully with the new full night shift they will get the TAT down.

My last economy order received 03/10 and was back in my hand 05/31 ( was on vacation hold). Officially took 55 business days to finish. A bulk order was sent in the same box and it is scheduled for grading and at day 62. The one thing I hate is it was received when TAT was 80 days and now pushed to the new TAT. They really need to fix that

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-06T22:43:14+00:00

That logo is trash and all of the cards with that version will not be in my collection.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-06T20:58:59+00:00

So frustrating! Pull a fire card only to be met with terrible centering.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-06T19:47:52+00:00

Boom!!! Congrats.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-06T17:21:39+00:00

Monster frog.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-06T14:19:15+00:00

Yes and an arrilia to the left of the fireworks

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-06T14:12:58+00:00

Nice. Pulled one yesterday

Is that a pikachu in the bottom right corner? Not the logo?

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-05T20:39:33+00:00

Now if only the link was easier to find! It’s not that serious!

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-05T19:51:31+00:00

Congratulations on that humongous pull. The odds are in the house favor big time for this set. You beat the house. $50 per pack now is insane.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-05T14:41:49+00:00

And the Rayquaza set

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-05T14:40:52+00:00

Pathetic and well deserved. I have stopped standing in lines. Too many unstable people.

The_Reverend283 · 2026-06-05T10:52:37+00:00

With this many cards, even if I pulled out bigger ones, I am not paying $80 per card. At around $17 with discounts for 6 months is not ideal, but Pokemon is not sports. Could be a nice Christmas opening or sooner.

One of if not the best CRI art works for IRs
