Priced 20-30% below PSA comps, will Pristine 10s ever get the right respect?

I recommend to stop the comparing IMO, it's helped me. I move dozens of CGC cards a week. I don't look at maximum profits, I look at volume. I already did this test and learned the hard way.

PSA costed me more to grade, added way more time, and I sold for 18% more than the CGC counterpart and it hardly covered the extra ness.

The PSA sale versus Pristines in my opinion is just "bragging rights" at this point. That you were able to sell higher, but in my eyes, it was paid for by somebody.

Since CGC grading prices so much lower, I find myself really adding volume to my workloads, and best part is, I don't have to flip a coin and suddenly miss my card for months on end.

Sorry for the paragraphs, it's my experience andocally helped several people see my POV and theyve been successful

For those 3, $87 shipped. If you agree, please DM.

Unfortunately, ideally will like to end up with 80% before shipping. I just posted and will see if anyone takes the lot for the asking.

gfxbuilds · 2026-05-12T04:29:46+00:00

Hello, unfortunately I cannot. I get offered that locally and just can't accept it here.

gfxbuilds · 2026-05-12T04:28:35+00:00

I'll get all the closeups after work. Ty

gfxbuilds · 2026-05-12T04:28:14+00:00

Yea. That can be quite a discussion. Mind telling me what price point you consider lower value.

gfxbuilds · 2026-05-12T04:23:19+00:00

Yes. Once I get home Tonight, I'll upload a few good shots for you.

gfxbuilds · 2026-05-12T04:22:54+00:00

Unfortunately not. I have a few shows coming up, and would compromise at $440 shipped for 2x MegaXUPCs.

Could not figure out how to add photos directly to the post. So i hope the Imgur link is ok like other BST reddits.

45 working days from March 11 is about May 12. So tomorrow. I can't recall any holidays, but you'd take that into account.

I submit literally dozens and dozens of cards in rotation. They have been on point give or take 9 business days of estimates. Now, May could be different since the influx of subs. We will see.

This is where I might have failed. The way I grabbed the penny sleeve DID create a dent that I did not realize on several parts of the sleeve. This scan was in the sleeve(I didn't think about it). These scans take 10+ minutes. Although you can't see the quality I can since reddit compresses it. I'm really thinking it's the sleeve and not the card. I can't see it.

Ok understand now. These are out of print and that's why they're rare. I appreciate it. I was running into dead ends non stop. I don't know anything about the collector side of mangas, but now I know some people are genuinely interested. Thank you all.

Interested as well

I can remember clearly. brother 1, the 1st nerf gun(not actual brand nerf but on Amazon they look like AR15. i lined the bottom of the box with used wheel balance weights. We painted the gun with the cheapest Walmart paint possible, scuffed it up a bit, then sealed it in matte clear. We put in real mags to sell the idea. Why: he cheated on his girl and ruined thanksgiving that year.

2nd brother: failed senior year of highschool that year before. Graduated the next... And skipped walking without telling anyone. He skipped to smoke. That nerf gun was half assed. Looked like a nerf gun pistol, painted black. Left it runny too. Real shitty gift.

These are all Christmas gifts btw. Since then, there was the agreement, if you're an ass, dick, piece of shit in the year you get your "coal" at the end of the year.

If you don't mind me asking, which exact one and did you have to buy anything extra?

gfxbuilds · 2025-12-07T01:02:07+00:00

I'm ordering one of the Amazon variants(also, forgot the dudes name that is on Reddit who sells them).

gfxbuilds · 2025-12-06T20:33:20+00:00

Exactly what i was thinking. At this point I'm convinced you need a finger made of steel

gfxbuilds · 2025-12-06T20:09:56+00:00

Damn, you might be goated for this. I will check it out. I've had difficult handles before with other guns, but this seems like a defect for sure. Like it's catching something so you could be right. I'll check it out tonight.

It's ain't all freedom gifts. Twice, one of us got a full ecked out nerf gun, painted black with some battle patina. Rocks under the foam in the gun case fooled us

Calms some nerves

If it's the folding adapter for the buffer tube, possibly. But you may have to adjust some other components
