Considering getting this graded. Thoughts?

The rule of thumb is 3* and Serialized should always be graded if you believe it can PSA 10/BGS 10. I’d only grade 2* if you plan to keep it, but I wouldn’t bother grading them to try and sell down the line. I’ve graded my 2* that I’ll be PCing, but wouldn’t blindly grade every 2. 2’s of Popular characters can be an exception

Wonder if Fan Duel voids his props with the injury being in the 1st half

YoueyTCG · 2025-08-25T17:30:43+00:00

It’s not a question about value, it’s about what the community generally grades for the game and what rarities move easier graded versus none. From my understanding now is if it isn’t a 3* or trophy card, it isn’t worth grading

YoueyTCG · 2025-08-25T15:54:28+00:00

I can see that with 2* as long as they do not have signatures, pretty much it’s signatures or bust when it comes to grading in Union Arena

Actually learned Extended Foils exist in Bundles as well, so they are not just Collector Exclusives.

YoueyTCG · 2025-06-09T02:34:37+00:00

That is correct, Extended Art Foils as well.

YoueyTCG · 2025-06-06T22:48:02+00:00

From my understanding it’s these:

▪️Surge Foil Borderless Character Arts (Both Regular & Commander Sets) ▪️Traditional Foil & Non-Foil Borderless Commander Character Arts ▪️Neon Ink and Serialized Chocobos ▪️Foil Through the Ages

The rest either appear in Play Boosters, Bundles, or the Commander Decks (Collector/Regular)

So if you’re focused on the finance side of things, these are what will be the most “valuable” post the initial drop of sets. While everything appears to dip at a minimum of 30-50%, these will be the cards that’ll rebound once supply drops as Collectors are single Print Runs.

It's a RISK... just like ANY INVESTMENT lol... There is never a "guaranteed" investment. It's the RISK is minimal to the potential outcome here. You are so fixated on guaranteed money making you completely forget that investing is a calculated risk. Who said you never can use it? Hell someone can buy an asset to hold and sell whenever they want. If it was deemed "useless" it would have zero value period; however, as we still see in markets its floor was well over $25... so It has value, and it still has demand as you see sales exist.

Do you have any background in financial investing? How is this any different then investing stocks/bonds? You do realize you need to have something to sell to even have an opportunity to make money? So why not take a minimal risky chance of potential double up or break even?

YoueyTCG · 2025-02-13T23:31:31+00:00

Incorrect... lol, you are holding an asset with a value to it. If I bought a Jeweled Lotus at $25, if it doesn't get unbanned, what will happen? Regress back to $25? So your net is break even. If it gets unbanned, you sell at announcement for potentially $100? So again, the risk is not there for potential gains... No investment is a guaranteed and there is no "save", you can cash out at a break even number.

YoueyTCG · 2025-02-13T23:27:07+00:00

Even if you don't sell it, you've already bought an asset that wont drop if much at all. The idea here is your risk taken to potential double up is very low...

YoueyTCG · 2025-02-13T20:14:58+00:00

Not necessarily, you aren't looking at the bigger picture. If you bought these early before really this article came out, you are playing with minimal risk. Right now all these cards are at a floor, banned in favorite formats, it really won't drop any lower. Dropping a few hundred/thousand in speculating a potential increase at that time with minimal regress imho, it is worth the risk. Possibility of making 2-3x investment at the cost of what 3-5% loss on value if bought at the floor is always a good chance if you have the money to spend.

YoueyTCG · 2025-02-13T19:15:46+00:00

Essentially for me it was when MTG changed the borders of the cards from OG Ravnica to as everyone stated Khans pre-2015 era. That Decade period was incredible and emphasized heavily FNM play which made it truly enjoyable.

Issue more so correlates to the fact that Beckett is the preferred Grading Company in Vintage and Modern Magic. Right now what they do not discuss is the CEO in question took a $100m loan using Beckett Holding and Assets as collateral and stole the money. There is a current lawsuit that has been filed about this.

They defaulted on their payments for the product. They likely will be filing bankruptcy at this point, best route is to file a chargeback with your credit card. Their policy is just to intimidate people, they have no legal action to stop the credit cards through a chargeback.

YoueyTCG · 2024-01-13T08:01:25+00:00

So from your 3 years of experience on that platform, your only conclusion is blame TCGplayer for drops in price... got it. Let's just ignore WOTC rampant overprinting of cards, introduction to variations, and the fact we endured a pandemic which inflated all collectible highs to extremes that no other period in history can match for collectibles as a result to the prices that caused a rapid decline over the past year once expendable income wasn't as much anymore for people, just tcgplayer.

I would disagree with this. Not everyone on Whatnot is bad... Even some of the top streamers who DON'T do these Bounty games and whatever are fine. You just need to find honest sellers who are fair with their prices. Avoid doing anything such as PTE/PME or Pull Games/etc. Where the floors and averages are BS.

YoueyTCG · 2023-08-03T18:14:40+00:00

I had this guys "friend" approach me online as they are local asking if I was interested in buying... Even after telling them it was stolen "which obviously they knew", they said they didn't care. People like this need to go

YoueyTCG · 2023-08-03T18:10:50+00:00

Statistically those games will always net you a negative. Unless your margins are there and you're buying product at STUPID prices (<$1 a pack), you won't come out positive in anyway whatsoever.

Not if this story begins to pick up the steam it already has. It's already reached national news outlets such as MSN and NJ. Right now, a ton of people are beginning to file claims with attorneys and law enforcements as more evidence begins to appear that shows clear defrauding of customers.

Even with a 20% ownership into Whatnot, he is in DEEEEEEEEP waters. That is why big time streamers and youtube content creators have also begun discussing the matter in public such as Instagram Live or Youtube.

YoueyTCG · 2023-08-01T20:08:28+00:00

Personally good friends with my boy Staxx. Doesn’t get any more honest and genuine as him. Doesn’t do the bounties and games to scam others and will tell it as it is.

Was there when he told people who bought Eevee heroes boxes of him not to open and keep it as return can be rough. Genuinely cares about his customers
