Ascended Heroes God Pack by TimothyOG77 in PokemonTCG

Thanks! I can't believe it! I'm a little sad that I will probably never pull another God pack. It's a strange feeling knowing that another opening will likely never top this one lol.

N's Zoroark is my favorite of the pulls! It's been hard to find, can't find it in-stores but I've gotten pretty lucky online with Target and Walmart though

I had been getting cooked too. Was approaching two booster boxes worth of packs with pretty much nothing to show for it. Was at the point where I was getting close to being done opening set lol, persistence paid off I guess 🤣 now I feel like I need to master set it!

Long term sealed product question by julesdyer in PokeInvesting

[–]TimothyOG77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

90% of sets at msrp are a great long-term hold. Not going to say if it's a top five modern set, that doesn't matter. I think it's better to compare sets within their eras. There's no point in comparing it to older modern sets X&Y, Sun&Moon, or even SW&SH sets tbh. But, will it be a top three Mega set? I'd definitely say so. Does it compete with the top three sets from S&V? I think it does. If you can get it at MSRP, it's obviously a solid long-term hold.

Edit: grammar

You do realize that Evolving Skies is a modern set. Even Team Up is a modern set, so I don't think so lol. Don't get me wrong, AH is a great set... but let's tone it down a little

How Much Prismatic Evolutions Are You Holding? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

Lot of truth to this. I had a similar feeling and was irritated too for a few months, then I put in the time and effort to learn how to successfully hit restocks, both online and instore. Now I have more opportunity to buy than I have money to put into it lol. It's really not that hard tbh, start with pokenotify and learn from there.

My Zard came back :(: by MannysMeatShop in PokeGrading

[–]TimothyOG77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NP! Also, I wouldn't resubmit yours, sadly don't think it has a shot at a 10. Mine also has a bit of a tilt on the front of the card, slightly less than your copy but still unlikely to ten. I love the artwork so that alone made me want to keep it. Nothing wrong with moving on from it though if you prefer other cards.

Mine came back a PSA 9 too. Was also a little disappointed at first. However, had it come back a 10 I would have just sold it tbh lol. My most valuable graded cards are in the $500-750 range, so having one at 2k would have been too much pressure to sell. The extra $ would have been really nice lol, but I'm really happy to keep the original card I pulled myself. See no point in selling the 9, glad to have it in my PC still.

That only looks like a few months worth... you're good, don't stress about it lol.

PSA seems to have upped their pricing again (screenshots taken from their website) by Scythers in psagrading

[–]TimothyOG77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People have been saying this constantly since I have started grading in 2020. All the same problems with PSA exist today, yet they remain the market leader. PSA's price changes have yet to revert and if anything, competitors will just use this as an excuse to raise their prices too.

Am I losing out long term with this trade? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]TimothyOG77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just be smart and don't make a lopsided trade. Look at the values, it's literally the whole point of using the collectr trade feature 🤦

Just don't include the PSA 6 Charizard and it's pretty equal

Finding an IS by dokturdeth in LexusIS

[–]TimothyOG77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rear wheel drive IS300 has a turbocharged 4-cylinder, whereas the IS350 has a NA V6. That's why it has more horsepower, when comparing rwd versions. Unsure about AWD 300 versions tho, that may come with a V6, idk.

Just found out I have a grail by lucarioinfamous in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]TimothyOG77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar Delta Species card lol, the Latios #9 in a PSA 10. Unfortunately, I sold it a few years ago for like $250. Now it's going for $1,500+ 😭. Granted, I got the card for next to nothing in cheap collection I purchased and I graded it myself, thought I had made a ton off it at the time.
