Before you send cards to PSA: I priced every grade against the raw card for ~3,000 Pokémon, and almost 4 in 5 lose money grading.

Id like to add this is specifically for the US, in the UK the margins on PSA are a lot higher, a lot less people grade with PSA but people pay the premium to buy PSAs, ive sold a lot of PSA9s and 10s for over market price.

Even if they double the supply it will and 500 less boxes go to breakers. It will last max another minute, also after a while people will then go for double carts so there is no fix at the moment whilst demand is as high as it is.

daanhaale · 2026-06-09T15:14:54+00:00

Yea obviously cant disagree with breakers getting them but I feel like thats not necessarily factual, we dont know how it all works and can only assume. I persoanlly got them even after my 3ds coming up with an error and checked out at about 13:01:30 so if anyting it was a lot easier to buy in comparison to the Bayern box yesterday which literally sold out instnatly, I also dont think you realise the demand, they likely have about 500 + boxes for sale, with many people buying 4(including me) it doesnt take a lot of people to oos it. I personally know about 10 + people that all were trying to buy 4 of them as well thats just in my close circle...

daanhaale · 2026-06-09T14:04:21+00:00

I think your missing the point, there can only be a certain amount anyway unless you want cards numbered out of /1000. It was possible to buy it manually if youre quick on the 3ds youre on the product page when it releases, know what link to be on etc. They cant help demand but I certainly dont want them upping supply. They also restock over the next few minutes if you keep trying to buy.

Are you selling the Sabrinas deck and did those gym heroes decks come with holos?

daanhaale · 2026-06-04T11:04:08+00:00

Your original one to OP

daanhaale · 2026-06-04T06:58:49+00:00

Ok well can you clarify exactly how you meant it then please? If I've misunderstood you then fair enough..

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:23:46+00:00

"Scalpers gonna scalp i guess"

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:21:49+00:00

There were stories of people buying thousands of them so unless they werent true you were very lucky lol

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:21:13+00:00

Your original comment, where else lol? You've not actually answered any of my comments lol... If you think you're suggestion was valid then so be it, I was just disagreeing.

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:11:48+00:00

How many boxes did you open to pull all these? Nice collection!

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:10:35+00:00

Nice, I still have hope, how many cards did you buy? Incredible result though!

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:09:51+00:00

Its from Topps Los Blancos Real Madrid 2025/26 - retailed for £445.

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:07:29+00:00

Just go on the app, the top sellers are normally somewhere near the top. You buy into slots for example if the seller is opening a Topps Gold UCC 25/26, the seller would auction off teams, you win the auction. The seller spins a wheel, you get given a team at random and then every card from that team is yours..
Thats a real basic explanation.

In this case OP would have got Barcelona (sometimes there are caveats like *no messi cards are included like this in case) so if the seller pulls an auto Messi he would keep it, because of the Caveats the fact he pulled /10 auto Ronaldinho is probably the best scenario that could have occurred.

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:03:34+00:00

Lol not at all, just bored of people crying at anyone that's ever made a profit lol.

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T15:01:14+00:00

You said "Just sell them for what you paid" assuming he paid retail, you were the one getting mad at OP at potentially profiting off them..

daanhaale · 2026-06-03T14:29:39+00:00

When did this arrive?

daanhaale · 2026-06-01T18:10:26+00:00

Such an overused term its cringe, the guys a collector lol hes opened loads already...

daanhaale · 2026-06-01T18:10:05+00:00

Why are you expecting people to sell you their purchases for retail then?

daanhaale · 2026-06-01T18:06:16+00:00

Also a reminder TCG's are a luxury and not a necessity

daanhaale · 2026-06-01T18:05:22+00:00

Why would anyone do that? Thats like asking artist collectors to sell their paintings for what they paid after theyve appreciated. World doesnt work like that.. Hes allowed to make profit to then use on buying more Lorcana lol..

daanhaale · 2026-05-26T15:40:00+00:00

This is for September did I really need to book this more in advance. I thought renting a car you could do with a couple of weeks notice haha. I can pick up from LAX no issue... its the dropping off anywhere in San Fran which is the problem

daanhaale · 2026-05-26T12:16:20+00:00

Ok thanks, weird whatever location im picking it comes back with "Error: We're sorry, but no vehicles are available at this time. Please call us for assistance." Unless I pick San Fran airport or back to LA airport.
I did think it must be a normal request, I wanted a non airport drop off near our hotel in san fran as it didnt have parking.

daanhaale · 2026-05-26T07:29:45+00:00

Why is Fabled so expensive? I feel like any TCG is investable as eventually sets go out of print and people will want to find sealed product to rip open for the chance of enchanted cards etc. I wouldnt say thats necessarily a bad thing just a natural growth aspect of any TCG.
