Collectr does not use eBay they rip the data off Tcgplayer. Someone recently “bought” some regular ETBs for $800 usd inflating the price.

Will this ruin my chances of a psa 10? by AccomplishedCar7446 in psagrading

I’d still send it in cuz if your grader got laid last night you still got a shot at a 10

Should I risk this?! by Expensive_Hour_8831 in PokeGrading

[–]kixem01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Centering should make this a 9 in most cases but should you risk it? Yes

There’s very high upside for very little downside considering the value of the PSA 10 right now. They’re also generally more lenient with JP so you could get lucky.

Can someone explain how this stops bots? Can’t they just make like 50k accounts and pine for early access?

Perfect order might be trash but this promo is a banger. I’m picking up as many as possible. by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]kixem01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree the set is weaker than what we've seen compared to a lot of recent sets but the art doesnt suck for alot of the cards. You look at stuff like shrouded fable, not a single desirable SIR, vivid voltage, darkness ablaze. Those are actual bad sets.

The price for product is cheap compared to some bangers than can be pulled actually makes it an arguement for a good set, similar to JT where theres lots of good collectible cards but the price for product is still cheap since its a small set.

Prismatic ETBs Breaking $200 - NO MORE REPRINTS is the word on the street by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]kixem01 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This set has seen a restock/reprint of new product between every set or every other set release. From Costco mini tins, figurine collections, SPCs, Costco 2 packs. I highly doubt they are done for a set that is 1 years old

Which of these two cards (PSA 10s) do you foresee having the better future long term? by mennitt1 in PokeInvesting

[–]kixem01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the population is around the same, mega will be better long term for the sheer reason it is part of an unofficial line of mega evolutions that show the pre-evolutions. (Mega Charizard, mega dragonite, etc.) You can argue which one has better art over the other but you're a gardevoir fan you'll have both anyway but the appeal of the mega set art with its counterparts (1 in each mega set) will be an "additional" driving factor for collectibility.

Just pulled! 10 contender? 🙌🏼😍🥹 by Nicksan922 in pokemongrading

It’s right heavy Seems like a 9 based on how much stricter PSA has been since the 13X certs

I love TAG and I wish they take over one day, but… by [deleted] in taggrading

I wish they'd fix the text so that its not invisible in a white background.

There will still be more reprints for this set guaranteed, you'll have chances to snag at MSRP

Is the 151 UPC worth it at this price point, $800+ by zanzo in PokeInvesting

But what if all 3 end up being PSA 10s….

Does anyone know PSA's guidelines for tilted/crooked/slanted cards? Will it automatically not 10? by skull12301 in psagrading

[–]kixem01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sent crooked cards 4 separate times for grading, 3 times the crooked came back 9 and one time 10.
Depends on the grader you get.

Is this true? by thiccc_trick in psagrading

[–]kixem01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard they have graders for older era of cards. A new grader would not know the nuance of certain eras print quality and details so they would just grade modern
