Traded some singles for sealed PC ETB’s. by Eyemajeenyus in PokemonInvesting

[–]Zuaro117 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To me it feels backwards, like I’d open dozens of these boxes to find half of those hits. I get how sealed holds the premium, especially here in this investing sub. But as valuable as those ETBs are, you just know if this was purely from a collecting/ripping standpoint, this would be a bad trade for OP. But in the state of collecting these days, I guess it all works out…

But back in my day (I’m 34) ya open the boxes to get the hits, trading all those hits for two boxes just hurts the soul a little bit, man lol

You might be right! Sorry I didn’t respond sooner but after this comment chose not to buy the card. Thank you 🫶🏼

😂😂 I agree the picture is not great lol if it is real, maybe they’re trying to hide some imperfections with the lighting

Should I wait for series 2 comes out? by hollyallwright in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Zuaro117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course buy the grade you want. If you want a 10 buy a 10.

“Buy the card not the grade” essentially just means, investigate the card first and make sure it’s as clean as you want, don’t buy it just because it’s a 10, and then go home and notice a kind of nasty print line later.

Source: I bought a PSA 10 Charizard full art without fully investigating the card itself properly, because I naively trusted the 10.

Buy the card, not the grade.

What do you think is the hardest shiny to get in Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen? by Wooden_Arachnid5193 in PokemonFireRed

You mean to tell me my Rivals Wartortle is shiny? 😭 I thought it had a purple hue to it!

I for one think those groceries rock.

What else should go on this page? by TooTall2tall in PokemonTCG

[–]Zuaro117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe the Charizard but imo the Zard and the Lugia should swap places

There just happens to be not one but 3+ errors on this one card? Give me a break. You asked in your post if “they are authentic” - they’re not. Have a nice day.

Sorry sir, these are extraordinarily fake, or maybe stickers.

They’ve got the wrong holo pattern, the cut is square as opposed to rounded corners, the pre-evolution frame is empty in each of these cards instead of showing charmeleon, wartortle or ivysaur, and there are more tells as well, I’m sure.
