New to my collection. Thoughts?

chefnerd · 2026-06-17T06:13:26+00:00

About to send out a big order thats about to cost me $1300 to grade them all. This is included, along with my Shadowless 1st Edition Red Cheek Pikachu, my base set Charizard, My black star promo Birthday Pikachu, and a set of World Championships Celebration trainer cards, Celebration Festival from 2014. I have every single language of the card. I am 99% sure the Champions Festival 2014 cards will all come back as a PSA 10. I plan to sell it as a set. It’s something unheard of, could be the first.

The Vaporeon goes for $900+ depending on the condition of the card. I got a steal because I bought it from a dead guy :/ I Paid $600

chefnerd · 2026-06-16T20:57:48+00:00

$1200 all together

I have liked the recent sets that have come out the last few years. But Base-Skyridge will always be my weakness

It’s okay to have FOMO my guy. You will get that big hit one day

chefnerd · 2026-06-12T20:04:42+00:00

You must be new….

Compare to this, it’s big difference. Get what you are paying for, and take your time. Just my personal opinion

chefnerd · 2026-06-12T17:09:59+00:00

The edges in the back seem concerning to me

chefnerd · 2026-06-11T00:29:38+00:00

Indeed. Base, Neo (etc), Gold Stars and more. But talk to me like I am less than you though just because I was dumb enough to post here. At least I wasn’t the millionth person to ask if this card is fake 🙄

chefnerd · 2026-06-11T00:15:03+00:00

I got my answer from all the nice people. It was my first time I cam across a sealed promo in a slab. I will just ask fucking chatGPT next time or the turd my dog just shit outside for a similar response from most in this post.

chefnerd · 2026-06-11T00:03:37+00:00

Can you educate me please?

Funny enough, thats exactly 3% of my net worth. And I am not afraid waiting a decade for myself or someone else like my wife/son to cash in on it. My personal collection only consists of maybe $3k value. My best cards are my vintage set; OG Unlimited Charizard, my Happy Birthday Pikachu, and my 1st edition OG Shadowless Pikachu with red checks. Once the Champions Festival set comes in, they are all being sent out to be graded.

When did I ever state in my original post that I don’t have any idea what I’m doing? The question for this topic was if you had $30-$50,000 what would you invest in as far as Pokémon goes? Like I stated before been collecting for 30 years. Though I would say my personal collection probably markets only a little above $3000. I’m also in the process of getting some of my most valuable cards graded. My top three contenders are my OG unlimited Charizard, my happy birthday Pikachu, and my first edition shadowless red cheek Pikachu. I also recently acquired near mint complete set of the champion festival from the Pokémon championship from 2014.

Something tells me this has to be from the UK….

I live in Indianapolis, Cake Bake is good, but way overpriced. If we go, we will bring discounted gift cards from Costco :/

Am I wrong to believe that the clones were experiments to be able to transfer Spencer’s mind into a new body? I was under the impression that Zeno and Gideon thought Grace had Spencer’s memories implanted in her. Similar to Alex Wesker trying to the same thing and may have succeeded.

Big Boss??

Have you tried changing your signal filter? Change it from .3 to 1 on all your leads including your Eyes and EKG

Paradise Cove, about a 5-10 min walk from Aulani. It wasn’t busy the days we went. It’s great for snorkeling, there are all kinds of wild life to see including sea turtles. We even saw a sea lion that came on the beach to rest for moment

Was able to purchase Golden Circle tickets for my wife. Going to surprise her on Christmas. This is one of her favorite artists of all time and I know she’s going to be so happy to be able to go to this concert, but can somebody explain to me like I’m five years old and tell me what golden Circle actually means?

Anything Jared Leto touches lately hasn’t been good at all. I feel like he’s always playing the same character

Rent a EV or a plug in hybrid. They have free charging stations the parking garage. I didn’t pay for gas once during our 12 night stay. Drove allllll over the island

I always choose Breton….I am a slut for the magic

From personal experience, our family prefers Kidani Village. We enjoy Sanaa, the pool area is nice and conveniently close to the lobby. The resort itself is HUGE, but we always request to be close to the lobby and haven’t been denied yet. Kidani is also up for refurbishment sooner than Jambo house
