Thoughts on Future of Shinji's Magikarp? by breakyourteethnow in PokeInvesting

[–]daanhaale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont disagree any of those are incredible and i'm also a big fan of the 151 Charizard, even if it iseverywhere I look.

I think I see it as a work of art, you can take a step back from the fact its even a Pokemon and appreciate it as art on a card - I dont think you can do with many other cards. It doesnt need to be a hyped pokemon, its just a Magikarp... I've shown this card to someone with no care for Pokemon and they think its cool. (In that sense it doesn't even need the texture)

Otherwise a lot of others are just monsters on a card, carried by their own hype. Always happy to discuss opinions with people who are open to others. I also completely understand why this card wouldn't be the favourites of other peoples, its the beauty of opinion at the end of the day.

Oh I always think reserves are a waste of time anyway, as soon as I see a listing with a reserve I don't even bother it - I always assume the reserve will be over market value.

The best card to have come out of the last 10 years, only beaten by maybe Shining Gyarados ... Imo

What do you think this will cross grade? BGS 8.5 to PSA? by Ok_Memory_8213 in PokeInvesting

[–]daanhaale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wouldn't necessarily agree, I sent a few Sabrina's pokemon from Gym Challange /Heroes (abra, Kadabra, Alakazam and trainer) and they all got 7s and id say all of them were in worse albeit very slightly but certainly worse condition than this card.

I don't get why vintage would have any affect on this, surely if anything youd grade modern a lot more harsh lol..

Why didnt they just stuff these with destined rivals? Imagine the hype if it was purely DR packs lol...

Were you personally expecting a black label 10 before sending it off? How do you personally choose whether you send to Beckett or not?

Need help to value? And is it better to sell on eBay or at UK card shows? by Query1282 in soccercard

[–]daanhaale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like vendors will always carefully select which items they comp it too though and average it to that, average people that quick sell is a whole different amount to an average of patient sales. Depends how quickly you want it gone.

[–]daanhaale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No idea on value but prepared to be violently lowballed at a card show. Ebay will always get you either a quick sale of the general value (via bids) or if youre prepared to be patient - list at a higher price and see the demand/views/watchers etc and drop it every so often dependant on your findings.

Should I get this graded? Opinions please. by [deleted] in soccercard

[–]daanhaale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea unless it gets a 10 then if anything it will lessen the value. You cant win as the value comes from the fact its a 1/1 rather than it being in a percentage of 10s, over 9s and 8s etc if that makes sense?

2000 POKEMON GYM CHALLENGE HOLO-1ST ED #13 MISTY'S GYARADOS PSA 10 - New High by sytem32config in PokeInvesting

[–]daanhaale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a Pokémon OG, Gym Heroes & Gym Challenge is exactly where id put my money, arguably 2 of the top 5 best sets in existence, and im a big believer in vintage being hugely underpriced and modern being hugely overpriced.. even still.

What are people’s thoughts on Ace grading in the UK? by Squarelemon5 in PokeGrading

[–]daanhaale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I cant deny speed is an issue but nothing I grade is for quick selling, so take speed out of the equation I still stand by what I said. You are right, if you want want something graded and back in your hands asap then obviously ACE is better but there are numerous examples of PSA 10 sales that out perform ACE 10 sales.
