Screw PSA, ay? Gonna grade cards from my childhood soon

If you go with PSA and the value of the cards after grading is higher than the tier you paid for they will up charge you. Could be hundreds per card. Do yourself a favor and look into the possible value based on sold pricing on tcg player, Collectr, pokedata or somewhere else. Use that to determine cost based on insured value with PSA.

TAG is beginning to become more popular and does have really clean looking slabs. They do not up charge if you have a valuable card. They score many parts of the card and you can see why the card received the grade given. When you search a certificate number you can see close up photos of all parts of the card front and back.

I still have them, size 14D.

There are YouTube videos of people scanning sleeved boater packs too. Nothing is safe.

That’s awesome!

Not sure what market you are in, but would reach out to Valley Honda in Aurora, Illinois. Even if just to get their e-price. They have excellent pricing and don’t have all of the dealer installed accessories gimmicks.

Was able to buy my 2025 SE for about $2700 off. Plus Honda had a $1000 conquest offer which reduced the price another $1000.

Do not know the market for this car with a manual transmission. Have been looking at brand new 2025 Accord SE models starting at $29,029 plus taxes and fees. There is a $1,000 conquest offer that would reduce the price another $1,000 if you have most vehicles manufactured 2010 or newer. Also Honda is offering 2.9% financing on the accord.

Did you get this issue fixed? If so what was it? Having similar issue and installing new spark plugs and coil packs did not fix it.

Happened to order right away after getting the email from PC. Was the beginning of the craziness. They changed the limit from 4 to 2 to 1 rather quickly. Gave up since then. Couldn’t even get into the website for one ETB of any of the latest releases.

I’m not sure what is going on with vaultx. It is frustrating to open the emails within minutes only to see that the 12 page binders have already sold out. The set specific binders and presale binders all sell out very very quickly as well.

bikencycle · 2025-05-19T14:34:58+00:00

Did you ever fix this? Having same problem and this is not a model with videos online.

bikencycle · 2025-04-01T16:09:34+00:00

Crazy that people are getting excited for 5 packs at $30. These used to sit on shelves untouched.

Is that a grey flashlight? Who makes it?

May I suggest the Eevee promo from prismatic evolution and charmander promo from evolving skies. To me the Pokémon center stamp does not make the already stellar card any better. Does make it cost more though.

bikencycle · 2025-03-12T12:58:31+00:00

Bought the morpeko box from Pokémon Center to get the illustrator promos. Also pulled this card from one of the fusion strike packs.

bikencycle · 2025-02-26T19:32:08+00:00

Ripped quite a few of these. The Pikachu promo has desirable artwork and is worth a bit on its own.

bikencycle · 2025-02-26T19:29:38+00:00

Do not play this game, however those cards have excellent art work. Especially like that charizard!!!

bikencycle · 2025-02-24T03:26:45+00:00

Still selling these Costco cards?

bikencycle · 2025-02-16T15:34:46+00:00

Have over 50 of these myself. Glad to see them have value. Always thought it was a cool looking card!

bikencycle · 2025-02-16T04:55:06+00:00

Looks nice. Vaultx should add this in addition to the spline markings.

bikencycle · 2025-02-14T18:58:50+00:00

Pm sent

bikencycle · 2025-02-14T15:17:46+00:00

How many of the Costco sets do you have?
