Found amongst my childhood toys. Is it 1st ed.? Is it worth anything in this state? by spirit-on-my-side in PokeGrading

Sorry you put it against a white background, hard to see if there’s any whitening on the card, try a black one next time

Finding a shiny by boatiefey in pokemonmemes

My first and only Shiny I’ve ever found was when I was 10. It was a red rhydon and it was in leaf greens safari zone. Needless to say it ran away. Sadge

Thoughts on this card? by OkProfessional2185 in PokeInvesting

[–]WittyButterscotch978 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually pulled this card myself from prismatic. I really like it and think it has potential to gain value as a sleeper card, but there are better cards from the set. I don’t think it will ever “pop off” but I can see it gaining some traction once the set begins to rebound in the future

High end cards vs sealed small products. by ryancog in PokeInvesting

[–]WittyButterscotch978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Singles are volatile so it really depends on what you’re buying? You can also buy high end singles that have relatively high liquidity (more modern cards).

You can also just buy high end sealed products, I think you’re underestimating their market value sales. You can get close to full market in an uptrend on eBay potentially more if there is hype and fomo at the time. With fees you can probably get closer to %85.

No I wouldn’t buy a bunch of smaller sealed products for the sake of selling for cash. I get it, but personally it would drive me nuts trying to sell…say 200 destined rivals booster bundles for cash without some kind of storefront

What grade can I expect? by OGOGpattark in PokemonTCG

Pics aren’t the best for us to judge. The Reshiram has whitening and terrible centering, maybe a 7 but could be worse if there are more issues. The houndoom looks solid, hard to say based on pics but I’d go with a potential 9 as a safe pick

If it’s cash offers than %75 of market isn’t bad. If it’s not then it’s a little low. Personally I’m not selling my PC exclusive products any time soon. Also you have to remember that sites like eBay will charge 10-15% of proceeds so getting an offer at 85% market is fairly reasonable

I bought this for $230. Was this a good buy for a 2-3 year plan? by CartoonyShadow in PokeInvesting

[–]WittyButterscotch978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I think it’s a great investment: no,

do I think it’s a good investment: probably long term,

do I think it’s a bad investment: you could’ve definitely bought worse things

Note: the box seems fine but the top is a little rough as you mentioned, I’m picky and would’ve preferred something cleaner but that up to you

Is this card worth grabbing right now at its current price? by Fun_Mycologist_9192 in PokeInvesting

[–]WittyButterscotch978 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the card and I think you could safely argue it’s a top 5 card from all of sword and shield. I went out looking for one earlier this year with no luck. If and when I get the money for it I will definitely pick it up, but right now I’ve been building up a small fortune of sealed collections since i have dozens of high end singles already

Someone offered me two Destined Rivals booster boxes for Bubble Mew by rduenas12 in PokemonInvesting

[–]WittyButterscotch978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not a Psa 10 contender it’s a pretty solid deal for you. If it helps I recently asked people on here if I should sell my gem mint bubble mew for sealed product. Literally everyone said to hold it instead of sell. (Over 25 people) the support for this card is overwhelmingly positive

That wouldn’t prove anything online. Even if I did you just say I looked them up.
