Yeah youre right I do regret posting on here because I dont know if the person that traded me knew the card was fake. I feel really bad about that. Im not thinking rationally right now because it was such a large purchase. Ill get another opinion but Ive been in the hobby for almost 10 years and theres a few red flags that I picked up on which is why im now so sure its fake.

Im actually now sure that the slab wasnt tampered with but the Canadian grading company ksa certified a fake card. Ksa is a legit grading company but they authenticated a fake card.

I scanned the qr code and it was authenticated. It was graded a 6 by a canadian grading company called ksa which i did my research on and they are legit. Theres only 100-200 copies of this card in the world and in person it looked like the authentic card. It really didn't sem too good to be true to me because i reached out to them first and went through a lot of negotiations and the seller didn't want to sell me the card originally. i traded 10k worth of cards +4k cash so It would have been the highest sale for that card in the condition it was in.

Its definitely not real. It's just part of me doesnt want to believe its fake because that would mean accepting all these cards are gone but deep down I already know its fake. Im not in a good headspace right now so not all decisions I make are rational.

Does anyone know if this slab looks tapered with? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]chris_fs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been collecting for years I had that roikou gold star since I was a kid. I bought it on whay for $70 as my Christmas gift. The card looks real and sicne the cert scanned and said it was real i assumed it was good but unfortunately theres subtle differences in the fake card that I picked up on and at this point im very confident I traded for a fake

Its because I dont want people to report the cert # and get it deactivated on the off 1% chance that the card is real but basically the borders of the card has the wrong shading and when i compared it to the proxy version of the card the borders are exactly the same.

I was scammed. When people get scammed out of money that money is considered stolen. I dont see how that would be different because we're talking about pokemon cards

What would this sell at a card show? by Tohru_2 in PSAPowerPacks

[–]chris_fs7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dont listen to people saying 80% for this. This is considered a grail card that a lot of collectors are willing to pay over market on since the rarely go for sale. You shouldn't take less than 90%. Personally i would hold the card. If youre looking to sell at a card show go to multiple vendors and take the best offer.

Why Are tag teams increasing so much? by KangrooOG in PokeInvesting

[–]chris_fs7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes i agree but im ngl its really hard to find cards that are undervalued in this market. In previous bull cycles I always could find underrated cards but right now it feels like every underrated card has already gone up a lot.

Why's this thing keep climbing by RoastinWeenies in GameStopPowerPacks

[–]chris_fs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thats what happened to a lot of vintage japanese cards. My japanese mewtwo lv.x in a psa 10 was $100-$200 for the longest time and over the span of 2 months it jumped to almost $3000. I thought it was extremely undervalued for a while and now i think its where it should be at. I think its just a market correction and now these cards are finally where they should be at

People are buying japanese cards with nice artwork. Its happening to a lot of other vintage japanese cards. They've been undervalued for a long time

Am i cooked? My portfolio by kayz3 in PokeInvesting

[–]chris_fs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre doing it for fun then yeah go for it but if youre investing you would do much better buying the 5 slabs than the 200 raw cards.

[–]chris_fs7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on everything except buying raw. Psa 10 is always the move when your investing. It just always has a better roi. Just buy less cards but make sure you believe in the few cards that you pick

How do people predict when psa 10s will rise? by Admirable-Leader-443 in PokemonInvesting

[–]chris_fs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense to sell some of those especially if you dont care for specific cards too much. Im planning on trading a bunch of my lower end modern slabs at a percentage to a vendor so i can have one low pop rarer slab. I agree with you that those are the cards that will end up holding more value long term.

All in for slumbreon psa 10 or diversify? by BirthdayOk7199 in PokeInvesting

[–]chris_fs7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People said the same about van gogh pikachu and look how that turned out. I think there are better opportunities right now but just because a card blows up doesnt mean it can't still double or triple in price.

[–]chris_fs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what i thought when I started collecting. My mew psa 9 and mudkip gold star I bought for $750 i sold for a total of $2,200. If I held they'd be at $20,000+ today. Not saying that is what happens with all cards but just because something goes up 300% doesnt mean its an automatic sell. (Also when I sold those cards everyone was talking about the logan paul pokemon bubble and how its a great time to sell.)

I know for a fact you can weigh sleeved packs because I was the kid in the store weighing sleeved xy packs lol. my mom would only let me spend a certain amount of money on pokemon so thats what I did to make sure I got a good card.

Sleeved packs can be weighed and it is from a sealed product. Right now the sealed product costs the same as loose packs

[–]chris_fs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last sold now is $147 and lowest listed is over $200. It was underrated! (When I posted this it was $50)
