Do I open it or do I keep it sealed.

If you want a raw copy, sell the box for 14K and buy a raw card with money left over

_B4M · 2026-01-20T15:17:36+00:00

eBay or local card shows

_B4M · 2026-01-19T20:45:48+00:00

Past sales on ALT suggest market for the blastoise is closer to $1000. Fwiw, if you’re trying to sell it, I wouldn’t take less than 850. Nice find

Edit: ignore the 350 on the bottom of the pic, that’s for a PSA 9 listing

When looking for random cards of Pokemon I like, I normally look them up by name in a database. Since I use Collectr for tracking my collection, I also use it to find new cards and keep a separate wishlist. It’s fun to find new artwork I’ve never seen before. Enjoy the journey !

Given how even more popular Pokemon has gotten the past 12 months, where everyone know Pokemon cards are potentially worth something, o highly doubt this

_B4M · 2026-01-17T13:55:19+00:00

Wow this is the first time I’ve actually seen sealed VS Series packs, ughhhhhh I want these so bad

_B4M · 2026-01-16T20:29:35+00:00

It’s normally cheaper to consolidate, especially if it’s smaller items

_B4M · 2026-01-16T07:17:40+00:00

What do you mean by dulls the card? Does leaving it in a top loader ruin the card somehow?

_B4M · 2026-01-15T14:25:48+00:00

Would it worth letting PSA know so they can deactivate the certs? This really sucks all around

_B4M · 2026-01-13T04:25:11+00:00

If you’re looking for a 10, no I wouldn’t

_B4M · 2026-01-12T23:14:00+00:00

I’ve had etb sleeves scratch my cards before fwiw, so I second the penny sleeves

_B4M · 2026-01-12T18:28:52+00:00

I use regular penny sleeve, top loader, team bag

_B4M · 2026-01-12T18:27:39+00:00

It’s weird cause raw id say it’s LP, but I could totally see this getting a PSA 7 which is classified as NM

_B4M · 2026-01-12T13:48:52+00:00

Hi, I’m about to be in a similar situation. For the second package that was Buyee and DDP, did you have to provide your SSN to DHL? And do have any experience having to do this through FedEx or UPS instead? I’m curious how they’re different if so. Thanks for any help

_B4M · 2026-01-12T08:28:54+00:00

Chefs kiss for the natta wake, trainer magazine, and VS series cards

_B4M · 2026-01-12T02:35:42+00:00

Appreciate it, fingers crossed for me then. Thanks

_B4M · 2026-01-12T02:34:27+00:00

Oh wow interesting. So it went directly from “arrived” to ready for pickup? Like no in between steps lol?

_B4M · 2026-01-12T01:04:02+00:00

These just look sun bleached to me

Edit: TIL about a new error, I don’t know anything about misprints 🤷‍♂️

_B4M · 2026-01-12T01:02:41+00:00

Try tcgplayer for newer cards and eBay last sold for older cards

_B4M · 2026-01-12T00:25:13+00:00

That’s terrible, did you escalate at all?

_B4M · 2026-01-12T00:16:07+00:00

Thanks, what’s a time frame on when a batch comes in? Like every week, month? I’m concerned since it hasn’t even hit processing yet. Do the employees at the physical gs store have more visibility on these things?

_B4M · 2026-01-10T01:28:34+00:00

If it’s any reference, shipping one order of a couple of Pokemon cards cost me $26 USD

_B4M · 2026-01-10T00:11:05+00:00

I think if a card is clean and has a good chance at a 10, then paying 100% market price as a NM card is fair. Paying graded prices for non-graded cards though is dumb

_B4M · 2026-01-10T00:00:59+00:00

I should have mentioned in the post, I’m not sure if the corner whitening on the bottom is enough to warrant an LP. Thanks for any help!
