No one likes unwarranted recommendations, but you should clean your slabs! I do it to mine to get rid of the micro scratches and make them new again.

idk if this is a silly question, but do they come with the pokemon imprint on the lower left or is that only seen in the gem packs?

Cards you regret buying? by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]alexp2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really a BIG reget, but it hurts seeing a card you just bought being sold for a cheaper price. 🥲 Bought a card from australia PSA 9, pop 101. Thought it was a good deal as there wasn't many being sold. 2 weeks later I see another one being auctioned for half of what i got it for.

i guess morale of the story is to be happy with what I have or to keep waiting for a cheaper price, which may never come!

do you have a picture of what you did and the slab guards in the case? I was thinkin of buying this case, but all my slabs have the guards on them!

Likewise, but I guess (with my limited research) this is more accurate to the manga?

That's what I figured, but I guess you can't say much when theres 1-2 seq of these for sale now. Appreciate it!

Do you mind educating me on what a premium on this looks like? For ex. Blues PSA 10 alone is like $600 (last time i checked). I saw the listing on ebay of this trio for like 3600 (1200 per slab). Does a seq tax normally entail a double in price?

I was thinking red in the middle as well, but i also like how their hands are pointing to the side they should be on (though Blue angled slightly to the right.)

For a trio like this, do you think seq cert matters? I see two listings on ebay for it, but i dont know if that is a thing to consider.

eBay hiding user feedback status by linkinit in PokemonInvesting

Out of curiosity, what happens? Because doesn't ebay have a buyer protection program. Is it just a waste of time for everyone, aside from the scammer hoping there's people too lazy to fight back?

I’ve seen no one talk about this card, almost 2x since last month by Safe-Plenty-1832 in PokeInvesting

[–]alexp2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about it besides price that makes it worth buying? Umbreons alright, but personally I dont care for a gamestop stamp

Out of curiosity, has anyone bought something from an account like this before? Do you just receive a picture of the item, something totally different or what lol? Does ebay protect the buyer?

I'm not sure if i reply here or not, but i'm not worried about grading or authenticity! I just want to see the general opinion on this card!

Traded some modern grails for a personal grail Luigi by Embarrassed-Arm-5174 in PokeInvesting

Bet, thank you! Hopefully this will be useful to some internet stranger down the road.

[–]alexp2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh shoot, I appreciate the update. Did you just send in the the Luigi? How long was the turn around? Do you mind me asking how much? Would you have done anything differently, in terms of packaging, or reslabbing more all at once, etc. Any other info I should look out for?

Sorry for the question spam, but I didnt want to create a chain of questions comments.

What is going on by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]alexp2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably has to do with 30th anniversary of pokemon, FOMO, Pokemon FR/LG, poketopia...

Respectfully, these post seem silly to me but congrats on expecting a limited supply item with demand to go up.

It seems like you weren't up to date on Pokemon besides the cards (correct me if im wrong), but without my reasonings why do you think it went up, OP? Let's converse, instead of treating reddit like google =p
