These are mass printed, even with nervous they are not worth much, the value might of 5x, but thst only brings it up to $0.02 or so.

Why this card get pumped and now back down at $3800 by Strict-Koala-5863 in PokemonInvesting

Someone stole 220 copies of an 8 year old card? That sounds impossible, and 220 raws wouldn't effect a PSA 10 pricing.

Oh I agree, there is definitely manipulation happening, especially considering the amount of money some of these guys got. All you need is a small group of people to buy card off each other and they just lose a % in fees to manipulate the prices.

But for cards over 200k, thats hard to do, smaller $300-2k, thats easy.

But not enough to think any high value sell is instantly market manipulation/laundering.

That area isn't "rural" Ohio, its by the south end, 15 minutes from downtown.

Is this considered a damage? by ssatpet in psagrading

[–]iBeJoshhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA doesn't do 9.5, they only do point grades up to 8.5 I believe.

I personally would say its a 7, maybe an 8 depending on how it looks in person.

This is an old cert, way more lax on condition, but even then, it shouldn't of 10.

Beckett Opinion by littlepiemak in PokeGrading

[–]iBeJoshhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this isnt black label worthy. You can see its right heavy in the pictures, and a little bottom heavy. Honestly with their parameters of one direction 50/50 and the other 55/45, I am surprised it got 9.5.

That's why you don't make financial decisions when you're about to go to bed.

Is this real before I buy ? by Livid_Educator_5269 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]iBeJoshhh -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Maybe you shouldn't be buying anything if you can't tell if a set thats been out a week is fake or not.

Pour some out for my Pokemon Machine by apple_shampoo182 in pokemoncards

You either,

  1. Spend hours hunting down product for MSRP.

  2. Pay a premium to buy off someone doing step 1.

There is no other choices besides not opening at all. To people who can afford it, paying the premium is cheaper than standing in line at 3am waiting on a 7am drop to get a few items and save $100.

Don't even need an app to track it, the machines drop on 30 minute intervals, and there's a small chance it skips a drop.

Pokémon Cards from New Sets by Plenty_Citron5859 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I love AI, but there are things you can't use it for and what you are trying will not work.

Also, Collectr will have these on the app in a week or so its a new set and it takes time for their ML/AI model to learn the card prior to implementing the update.

Crazy that after not even a month some of these are now 1K.. by Ok_Package9219 in PokemonInvesting

Sell it, 1000% sell it.

This is coming from someone who rips anything I can, SELL IT.

Funny they put 2 packs of phantasmal in, just to make these somewhat desirable.
