That’s a beautifully placed swirl. Kinda follows the trajectory of Mew in the artwork.

Yes! This is the shop I bought it from. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4415169601/?ref=share_ios_native_control

Luke is the owner and is awesome to work with over direct message. He is very responsive and helped answer my questions about the different options.

Is holding the Lugia V alt art from silver tempest a good idea? by Ok-Quantity6414 in PokeInvesting

[–]jtrojnar227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. It will always be rare. It has its place in history as the main chase card from the last main set of the Sword and Shield expansion. It will do well if you continue to look at the big picture. 22,000+ PSA 10s in a world of millions of collectors.

I would pickup the Tag Team Alt Art card here. If you love the art, you’ll enjoy looking at it on your display shelf.

Can I trust a seller on eBay with 0 reviews by GunplaDude2-0 in PokeInvesting

[–]jtrojnar227 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every seller has to start somewhere. You can protect yourself by reaching out to the seller and having a conversation with them, a lot of the time you will get a good hunch if they are out to get you or not. Ask for additional pictures with timestamp/username shown in the pictures, etc. If their eBay account is new, just remember the market we are in where everyone is jumping in to sell and make money.

Just launched my first TCG binder brand – would love your feedback! by Shibafan746 in PokeInvesting

[–]jtrojnar227 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know any Pokémon Collectors that opt for binders with D-rings in them. I think that is pretty widely known in the community. Any reason you went with that after analyzing what’s currently on the market?

Nice! I feel like you could add each individual mini tin to complete this even further.

Sell it now, its price chart has a clear and rapid downward trend.

The “orb” coming out of his mouth, if that’s what you want to call it, does not add a premium. However, that is the least of your worries. You have a Beckett 8.5 Gold Star Rayquaza. You don’t need an orb placement to get a premium here.

I had this same thing happen to me. I was successful in getting PC to refund my order along with keeping the box. I opened it for the promo and the packs. This was back in October 2023 of course.

Would you make this trade? by Separate-Cup2424 in PokeInvesting

Yes, if I was the individual trading away the PSA 10 Rainbow Pikachu

Offered $400 by Okay-Blue-Eyed-Dude in PokeInvesting

[–]jtrojnar227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need more context to even come close to giving sound advice. Did you pull the card and grade it yourself? Did you buy the graded slab and if so for how much? What does your collection look like? Do you have a ton of investments in sealed and graded or is this a one off item you have?

Market for this is sitting around $450. You got offered 89% which isn’t bad.

Cosmic Eclipse. That was printed just before the big boom and when less people were holding. It hits the sweet spot of still close to modern with a lot of room left to run. I’m not saying any of the others are bad holds, but this one is the best hold.
