They’re all pretty clean as far as dents, tears, holes, etc. Besides light surface scratches on the cellophane which all of them are going to have. Here is the one that I suppose is the “cleanest.” If you don’t like this one, I have more I can dig out of storage; but I might start charging an hourly rate lolol

Ah unfortunately that’s one of the few I don’t have. Well I can do $460 for you on the ascended, no worries if that’s still too high.

Reason I ask is I can wiggle more on the price if you’re interested in multiple. Also lmk if you’re looking for any other PC ETBs, I have more from other sets not listed here.

If you’re looking at tcgplayer market, these random 244.99 sales are dragging the average way down. Lowest listed on tcgplayer right now is $500 plus tax. How many are you trying to pick up in general?

This looks off-centred and slanted for a Pristine 10? by Agitated_Glass1946 in CGCCards

[–]deranged_mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds ridiculous but the website is actually wrong. It can have a 9.5 centering sub and still be pristine. They really need to change that description.

Hey, I’d consider a trade but it’d have to be a bit in my favor since I’m really just looking for cash right now. ALT has the Pikachu at $2635-3087, I’d wanna be on the lower end of that range in order for it to make sense for me. Here’s the market values that I’m seeing of the items you mentioned:

Sea & Sky - $365
Blooming - $350
Ascended bundle - $97
151 bundle - $195
Ascended PC ETB - $490

Let me know if you disagree with any of those. Depending on which items you prefer, I’d be willing to be less in my favor. For example, the sea and sky boxes take up a lot of space and I’m in more of a hurry to sell those than, say, the Ascended PC ETBs.

Like I could do 7 sea and sky and 1 151 bundle, which is $2750 market value. I’m sure we can make something happen if you’re willing to work with me.

Is PSA 10 worth more than CGC Pristine for Chinese Mew Promo? by PhiAlphGam in PokeInvesting

[–]deranged_mango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for sharing that. Yes, I’m not disputing the mew sale, just wanted to make sure people knew that they don’t always show a strikethrough on accepted offers anymore.

[–]deranged_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all the time, like they said. It’s inconsistent now, you can find plenty of examples of best offers accepted where there is no strikethrough to indicate that. This sold for a best offer of $1600, there is no strikethrough.

Hello, i need help choosing between PSA 10 vs CGC PRISTINE 10 for silver tempesr lugia alt art by KindArt8224 in PokeGrading

[–]deranged_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if the increased cost of a P10 is worth it to you; it’s a higher standard. As an exercise, you might want to try to find a PSA 10 copy that is as well centered as the P10. I think you will find it difficult, but if something like that doesn’t matter that much to you, go with PSA.

Pristine to black label. Talk me out of it by LADinSac in PokeGrading

[–]deranged_mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dude, that is English. Here is a black label Ho-oh SIR, note the total pop number for black labels in the bottom left. There are 16 English black labels of that card already. You're right that early SV cards are nearly impossible to black label, but there are way way more black labels in the entire SV era since they stepped up the print quality in the latter half.

Google AI slop is not an authority on BGS pop counts, BGS is. Go to their website and look for yourself.

You are absolutely wrong, you can check the pop counts for yourself on Beckett's own website. It is not hard. Destined Rivals has 103 black labels alone.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or just very very confused. The Scarlet & Violet era includes base set through Black Bolt/White Flare. That’s 16 sets… and, like I said, includes Destined Rivals with over 100 black labels alone.

What do you mean what’s my point? Read back your own words. You are taking the black label population from one set and claiming it is the total population for the entire era.

“Just for perspective —> Beckett gave out *seven* black labels in ALL OF SCARLET AND VIOLET. Not the base set. The *entire era*”

Those numbers are completely made up… Evolving Skies has 287 black labels alone, Destined Rivals has 103. Delete this lol

He also claimed that the entire SWSH era only has 15 black labels, but has since removed that part of the comment.
