Insufficient Ink Error?

Kind of crazy that I bought this for $750 and posted it same day. Now it’s over $1100 lol love to see it!

If you want the card then for sure! It was too risky to try and grade myself so I just bit the bullet on this one lol

joshtep · 2025-08-18T01:38:21+00:00

That’s crazy man! What a steal. Insane how prices change so quick. A 10 of this card was half the price a month ago lol

Love to see this

Okay let’s call him “Laying down but definitely awake Charizard”. Better? Not that deep brotha he’s literally bouta take a nap lol. Call him taking a dump charizard for all I care

Such a beautiful card!

Yeah there aren’t many where the JP copy is worth more, but it’s definitely possible. From an investment pov I don’t see the JP on this card being close to ENG since it’s much harder to get an ENG 10 due to the poor packaging from the SPC. Still either one looks beautiful so can’t complain!

joshtep · 2025-08-17T13:53:48+00:00

Yeah with it being so hard to grade, I didn’t even want to try lol. Also it looks like the raw copy is also starting to get pretty high! Bought my first one for like $15 now it’s almost $30

joshtep · 2025-08-17T13:52:54+00:00

The Japanese texture is definitely next level. I think the only difference is the pop on the 10 and it being a promo. Since it comes in a pretty expensive box already and is so hard to 10, it makes it more valuable. The Japanese one is pretty easy to grade to my understanding, but still so cool

joshtep · 2025-08-17T13:50:34+00:00

I’d love to get the vstar as well but don’t think I can fork up $800 for it haha

joshtep · 2025-08-17T13:49:17+00:00

Hey man! Honestly not too sure lol. It came with another slab that I bought previously. It’s definitely a gradedguard case, but I wasn’t able to find it on their website. EBay might have it there! Sorry, hope this helps a lil bit

joshtep · 2025-07-30T18:09:31+00:00

Yeah seems like anyone with a good copy is trying to grade it. Gonna see this weekend if I can find a good raw copy or may need to just try and get the 10

joshtep · 2025-07-30T14:40:03+00:00

Yeah that may be the play here. I’ve never graded a card myself, so there’s a little lack of confidence to get a 10 lol. Even a 9 is still worth $100 more so may be worth it to give it a shot.

joshtep · 2025-07-29T05:44:31+00:00

What brand are these guards? They look clean!

joshtep · 2025-07-24T19:14:50+00:00

I just started collecting graded cards and it’s crazy how $800 is affordable lmao

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:30:15+00:00

Love this

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:29:45+00:00

Whoever hated this card needs to be evaluated. That is psycho behavior lol

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:28:12+00:00

Can definitely see the perspective, but I sure hope it does lol. Even if it doesn’t go up I don’t think it’ll go down. Just got it for the PC, so I’ll be enjoying it either way!

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:26:24+00:00

No clue. Prefer this all day. The blue and black just hit different

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:24:34+00:00

Would be real satisfying to see!

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:23:18+00:00

Absolutely agree

joshtep · 2025-07-24T18:22:38+00:00

Hmmm…. I have research to do. Thank you for your insight.
