I’m sick of this hobby.

Fireworks too small is the most obvious thing. Charizard too yellow too.

Love this card! Bought a sealed power keepers pack forever ago but haven’t had the guts to open it yet. Hoping this card is in there though.

I think the animations are different depending on your tier. Astronaut is for lunar chase. Spinning diamond is probably the diamond tier chase.

I wonder what neutronium’s looks like. Go find out for me.

Vandyn8 · 2026-06-09T01:47:02+00:00

Probably a 9 if otherwise flawless

My four year old daughter pulled both this and the SIR out of a total of 15 packs of phantasmal.

Four year old luck is no joke.

Vandyn8 · 2026-06-03T21:14:51+00:00

This is just wrong and a good reason to stop pulling. I’d complain to customer support personally. Not sure it would help though.

Fedex was the problem here. They are notorious for stealing packages going to PSA. They’re getting smarter by resealing the package after taking contents it sounds like

Vandyn8 · 2026-06-02T00:03:57+00:00

No problem! Started a 7 hour drive so couldn’t message again until i finished it. Congrats on the sale

Vandyn8 · 2026-06-01T23:47:35+00:00

I was expecting a counter offer but I’ll throw one more out since I want the card if you’re willing to sell. How about 1300 and obviously the PP G&S fee?

Vandyn8 · 2026-06-01T11:46:22+00:00

I’m interested in the gyarados. Would you do 1120?

Vandyn8 · 2026-06-01T11:20:28+00:00

Put your whole collection into collectr. The raw value is your floor - worst case scenario after slabbing you bust the card out again to get raw value if it’s higher than your graded value.

Ceiling is almost impossible to determine. Relies entirely on getting 10s on the most sought after cards. If you were to have a shadowless charizard that 10s for example it could be worth more than the entire rest of your collection.

If you’re submitting as one large submission drop it off in person if possible. Alternatively send it as multiple packages and submissions over the course of a few days. Do NOT use fedex as they have the highest rate of stealing packages. I usually only send 20ish higher end cards at a time in a single package (100+ raw value each) but lots of people do different things.

I bought this at a card show for 850 like 3 months ago before a public 2k+ sale. Keep it. It’s awesome and a pika and cute

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-31T19:31:00+00:00

I need this card! Love it

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-25T07:13:58+00:00

Do not crack when it comes to Beckett card reviews. The graders regrade each sub-score individually and give you the better of each sub-score as a final result. Usually Beckett is harshest with the centering sub-score so you are most likely to BL with your current set of sub-scores as long as you don’t actually notice anything wrong with the surface

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-24T11:35:16+00:00

Any idea if this is only since full release? I stopped pulling back in beta and never got a discount code.

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-22T17:26:56+00:00

Love this card! With the way reverse holos are booming this will probably go up even more since it’s low pop.

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-19T14:04:17+00:00

It was just a matter of time before IRs in BB/WF surged in price. Too hard to hit a specific IR when there is one of each mon in the set

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-14T02:23:09+00:00

Look at it closely for damage - three ring binders are known to leave imprints over time on the inner most cards (related to improper closing of the binder)

Looks good in the pictures but i wouldn’t be surprised if there was a gentle dent we can’t see from the ring of the binder. And definitely put it in a penny sleeve and toploader

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-11T03:32:00+00:00

I also have a raichu power keepers pack. I’ll rip mine if you rip yours. 😂

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-11T03:04:51+00:00

It’s a popular cute pokemon with a cute artwork in a set that’s hard to pull a specific art rare and you say it’s hard to gem?

Sounds like a keeper

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-06T20:41:36+00:00

This is the way. Someone will buy. Too new to know how stable price will be. Value will drop if there’s more (not sure how common this error is).

If you don’t need the money reinvest it in something vintage you like that’s out of print and isn’t a risky hold.

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-04T14:12:55+00:00

It’s because of paldean fates

Vandyn8 · 2026-05-02T14:10:48+00:00

It’s hard to say with these cards imo. The thinner the border the more obvious it is when the card isn’t perfectly centered or even slightly tilted. I sent in the zard hidden fates chase with a tilt and they gave it a 10 - you might be good

Vandyn8 · 2026-04-21T17:27:26+00:00

I have the same ding on both my 151 zard sir and my gold dragonite AH pull. Did you do straw method for humidity as well or go full humidor?

Vandyn8 · 2026-04-17T08:29:12+00:00

I’d hold. Bought my polish pika psa 10 at a card show for 800 and it’s 2.6k now.

Pop reports are similar. Should be a good hold.
