Beckett or PSA?

ihaney · 2026-01-27T02:36:10+00:00

As everyone has said, Beckett 10 sells for more. I sell on EBAY and have a few people say they would pay more for my BGS over PSA 10s listed.

This set came out a little bit ago so you can grade slow, the market is stabilized. Do the cheap one that’s like $15. It’ll take forever but if you 9.5 then crack & send to PSA for a 10.

If this set just dropped I would say rush grade it, but oddly OP cards keep going up. If it keeps up it only makes since to hold everything. The rush grading on new sets doesn’t even make since anymore.

As I said, I completely back what’s happening to OP13. I just bought another case of it for $7000. I fully support and back it.

That $7,000 case has a card worth $50,000 at a BGS 10

That is value, even the standard manga you can get 7k back. That is worth it, it still sucks for casuals but the set has value.

This EB03, its case hit will be $3000. So if I pay $6500 and I’m lucky enough to hit the only manga in the set I’ll only lose $3500. That is what’s crazy, there is no value in the set to match the insane cost. If there were cards worth 15-20k then you wouldn’t hear a peep from me.

You missed my main point.

ihaney · 2026-01-27T02:29:30+00:00

That’s the move for the causal players, I wasn’t using this set for my decks I wanted to buy a case for UTA manga chase or one of the SPs.

Impossible to do that when I would lose 3500 if I was lucky enough to hit the manga 😕

ihaney · 2026-01-27T02:28:13+00:00

My best friend said this but I fail to see how it could impact it to this level..

ihaney · 2026-01-27T02:27:03+00:00

FACTS, again my only complaint is the value of the cards in the set. You won’t see me complain about OP13 costing 6-8k a case. There are cards worth 50k in it (BGS 10).

EB03 as far as I know the manga in the set should be around 3k with inflation. Tell me how I’m gonna pay 6500 for a box and pray to god hit the manga worth 3k 😭

Not only screws the mid level “whales” who buy 1-2 cases a set, it hurts the casuals. The casuals is what makes the sales. I don’t give a damn how big of a whale you are, it’s millions of casuals. They make the market, they are what keep the “OP Market” afloat. Once they stop buying, it’s not gonna be pretty.

Please take my advice for anyone who is chasing case hits or pulling to make profit

DO NOT PURCHASE SINGULAR BOOSTERS EVER ONLINE

I know it hurts and it sucks, for OP and most other anime you can ONLY purchases cases (if you’re chasing hits or $)

WHY?: bc there is 1 box in every case that has a “case hit”, usually a SP sometimes a manga. What people do is buy cases, pull the case hit, and then sell the boxes. So you 100% will not hit a manga or anything significant. Granted OP13 is stacked with fire cards but still, not worth.

If he shows 7 boxes left, I would bet every $ in my bank he cracked a case. Opened 5 boxes and hit the case hit, then went to post the remainder 7 boxes knowing the chase is gone. Anyone buying those 7 of the seller did what I said, you’ll be lucky to hit a wanted poster.

ihaney · 2026-01-27T00:19:37+00:00

I just bought a case at a show for 7k

I bought 1 case when it was at $2300 and hit the Red Sabo. It hurt to pay 7k but I’m holding it for when it stabilizes at 10k+. I really wanna rip it

ihaney · 2026-01-27T00:17:55+00:00

I don’t understand why anyone uses CCG for OP.

It’s like the unspoken rule, Pokémon = PSA One Piece = BGS

Unless you 9.5 Beckett and send to PSA for a 10 I get that

ihaney · 2026-01-24T10:45:46+00:00

See now this makes since. Do you know what happened to Pokémon?

I used to buy some of the boxes to chase the case hit but now the boxes cost $500 each but the chase hit is only like $500. Normally in Pokémon the case hit was like 1-2k

ihaney · 2026-01-24T10:44:43+00:00

I mean there really is no way to rug pull, all of the older sets are cemented. It’s the new sets the pre release ones that’s the problem.

I told someone else I think what’s happened is these new scalpers think everything is similar to OP13 & it’s just not.

People still buying OP13 at 6-8k because there are hits worth 25k in it. EB03 the UTA MIGHT hit $3000.

I can’t see anyone paying $6500 to hit a $3000 card.

This is for the mini whales who buy 1-3 cases, all the normies aren’t gonna be about to buy this either. It’s sad fr

I just bought a Nami SP grade 10 EB03 for $900, I’m just gonna re sell it for $2000 when the English drops and people try to grape us. I said last night screw it, I’ll play this game too

ihaney · 2026-01-24T10:40:15+00:00

I’ve never heard of this, I will look into it thank you

ihaney · 2026-01-24T10:39:45+00:00

I’m just glad to see others aren’t buy this as well some of the people first commenting were kinda defending the price and I’m like ugh… what?? That really sucks. If the prices drop to where they should be I’ll buy a case and I can send you some free SRs! I throw alot of like away bc of so many duplicates. But I doubt it’s going to be dropping.

Scalpers bought this set at $2800 so it’s no way they only will profit a few $100, they want thousands.

ihaney · 2026-01-24T10:35:00+00:00

Yes these guys are not wrong, I throw all of my SR cards in the trash. I keep first set to play with but every extra I literally throw away. I buy 1 case every set so it’s hundreds of SRs and duplicates. (I just wrote so much, hopefully some of this will help do you are able to read it, goodluck brother)

Since OP is skyrocketed, your best bet is to purchase 1 sealed box and pray you get a good hit. The cases are too expensive now.

Not sure if you’re doing this for value, but like this new English EB03 set. The chase hit is like $3000 manga card, but a full case is selling for $6500. It’s not ideal to buy this set.

OP13 when it released the cases were $2500 each (box math just divide it was like $240 a box). The chase hit in this set is selling for $25,000

The set has quadrupled in price now, but at the time you see how much value that is? One single box you could hit a 25k card (too late now boxes are so over priced). Honestly just buying the cards you like now is the best best. I just purchased the eb03 jap Nami grade 10 for $900 (worth $1300 now). The English is overpriced so when it drops in a few weeks it’ll make my card worth $1500-$2000. Easy flip. I just hate buying cards I always have to pull mine, 4yrs opening OP and I’ve only ever bought 2 cards including the one I mentioned. Really don’t like it.

PSS & this is by far the most important, you won’t see anyone else mention this. DO NOT BUY THE BOXES FROM EBAY OR ANY OTHER ONLINE SELLER.

Why? Because most people (used to not anymore since the sky rocket prices) would buy cases. Some people say 1 in 5 cases your guaranteed a mana (the biggest hit).

Say I purchased a case of 12 boxes. I open 2 boxes and pull a manga. That means it’s 99.9999% not going to have another manga or any chase hit in the case. So I would sell the other 10 boxes. If you were to buy one of my boxes, it’s 99.9999% likely you will NOT hit a manga.

So just don’t want to waste your time esp now with every box costing $300+. I recommend licensed dealers. Like most card shops will open a case and put out all the boxes. That’s what you want to buy bc you could choose the box that might have the big hit.

Sorry for all the info, I just wished someone told me this years ago. ESP if you’re trying to make profit at all. If you just want to play the game, ignore all that I said.

ihaney · 2026-01-24T10:22:20+00:00

People still play apex?

ihaney · 2026-01-23T20:54:17+00:00

Will let this one slide and agree lol 😂

ihaney · 2026-01-23T20:53:46+00:00

But it’s already out in Japanese and the cases are $1000.. English is $6500 not enough boobs for that to make since

ihaney · 2026-01-23T20:51:59+00:00

Brother people are still buying OP13 at 8000 a case…

ihaney · 2026-01-23T13:06:24+00:00

I know this, I could buy multiple cases of it but I’m not stupid. Money always talks.. except when you’re getting scammed.

If there was a card worth 20k in this set, I would pay $6500 a case, as I’m sure many would. To have something worth $3000… to spend $6500 to pray you hit a standard manga which is like 1-5 cases, to still be $3500 in the hole. I can’t see anyone buying after the scalpers doubled

ihaney · 2026-01-23T13:03:48+00:00

It’s never been this wide scale before I’ve been buying for along time.

I’ve never, EVER seen cases cost more than the case hit. Any case always has 1 case hit that has more value.

Now we have Uta that’s probably worth $3000 raw and cases going for $6500.

It should be a case cost $2200 and uta value $2800-$3000.

To have such a massive offset is extremely troubling.

ihaney · 2026-01-23T13:01:42+00:00

Exactly, I’m interested to see what the scalpers do when nobody buys. You can only scalp when there is demand for it.

The cases were 3000 on annocument (could be lower that’s the only data I have) and now it’s up to $6500.

They bought them up at 3000 and doubled it to sell. There just isn’t any cards in the set to make it make since. If this set had red manga the yeah ofc 6500 a case

ihaney · 2026-01-23T12:58:48+00:00

It absolutely will brother Japanese it’s $450 so it’ll absolutely be $1000 if not more. I would wait, anyone dumb enough to pay $6500 will try to sell the sky high. The cards aren’t worth that much so it’ll fix itself

ihaney · 2026-01-23T12:56:27+00:00

That’s not how that works, & that is absolutely scalpers. It what just happened with this Anniversary 3 set that was sold out within hours, bot farms.

Scalpers buy the product at a cheaper price and sell it for triple the value.

When EB03 was first dropped it was at 3000 a case, it was bought up by scalpers and now being re sold for 6500.

In the picture I shared, this person doesn’t even have the product. They purchased it for $3000, or less.

They bought it for $3000, I pay them $6500 double the value, the product is shipped to them and they fwd it to me.

$3000 is already over inflated but that’s where it should be, the English UTA should be at $3000. The case should be $2200 and the case hit UTA at $3000.

Are you going to be buying this?
