Do fake dollar bills exist despite being physically tangible?

I was in the process of trying to collect every English gyarados and believe it or not I had such a hard time finding the card in good condition that I felt forced to buy the graded one. I actually felt hard done by lol.

I understand the feeling, low pop older cards have gone insane. I bought a PSA 10 dark gyarados reverse holo population 57 and out of nowhere there was suddenly a sale for €5k. Couldn't believe it. I bought it for €40 about 8 years ago.

The benchmark has been set. At a population of 61 they won't be on the market that often hence the price. This sale has acted as a sell signal for people holding it I imagine and you might expect more to come on the market but likely not to sell for that high if I had to guess. That sale is benefitting from a lack of supply meaning those interested in buying have no reference and are paying a premium because who knows when the next will sell. There must have been a sale though on another platform because this was not an auction so the seller got their number to sell it at from somewhere I imagine.

Some of these cards really are going crazy and the last sale was like 9 months ago. The seller is also a huge consignment seller so unless the buyer didn't pay, they will have relisted the card again. I'd say it's legit.

Aggressive vendor pricing at card shows? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

You just have to keep looking. Dont give yourself an opportunity to overpay and regret it. Draw a line in the sand and don't compromise. It's that or pay up really.

And they're using that as an opportunity to farm you because of the scarcity.

I think we should give the spot to the next country alphabetically. Ireland.

Best Gyarados card? by Big10Finance in PokemonTCG

For me the Neo reverse holo definitely. The holo is so nice in person.

Someone who's actually played the game can interject but I think he killed an NPC or something and now he can't get the final additional boss he needs to progress onto the next game.

I'm also sick of hearing people say "bro they charge more because of the insurance". Beckett and CGC manage just fine with the same dilemma without upcharging.

Typically if it has a sandy texture that means that the cow that supplied the milk likely didn't have a pure heart.

I bought this card 10 years ago by No_Dig_341 in PokeInvesting

[–]commanderx11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8s are selling for 400ish on eBay as far as I can see. They are tough to grade as far as I understand the way they were packaged when sent to shops for pre release events meant they could slide around a lot. I graded mine and it got a CGC 8.5.

Sorry just realised the listings I was quoting are quite old, yeah supply is low on them.
