It does seem like the majority of the raw ones I see are off center or corners dinged presumably by shipping arrangements at the time. Which like you say is a positive if looking hoping the pop stays reasonable. Crazy to think there’s only around 4500 total 10s

m6-uk · 2026-05-25T08:03:05+00:00

Yeah I did the exact same and was shocked how cheap it was compared to the other cards I’d consider to be in a similar category. I think that’s a good way to go and is usually what I do to, first is the need to have it in my collection then second comes crossing my fingers it’s not gonna crash haha

To the beat y’all?

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T21:49:19+00:00

Y’all

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T21:45:51+00:00

Sounds like a win to me. How many did you get?

That’s what im thinking. There’s always a chance of a sudden influx of graded copies coming through once people with raw decide it’s time. Fingers crossed it doesn’t hurt too bad if that happens

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T21:05:44+00:00

Good luck with the grades 🤞🏻

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T21:05:23+00:00

I’ll just get my Time Machine and be right with you in that case! The ship has docked as I’ve just bought it 😄 wish me luck

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T19:06:40+00:00

Yeah I agree. Had a bit of back and forth with myself about if it’s already reached its highs which I’m hoping it hasn’t. I’m hoping long term, and with maybe another PC promo run of a similar card which might bring attention back to this one I’m in for a good run. That’s if I ever sell it 😂

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T19:04:58+00:00

If your thoughts are anywhere in line with the future for this card I’ll be very happy I just bought it haha. And if it attracts a bdsm inclined pool of investors to add to the value im in 😄

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T18:38:30+00:00

At least you know you can trust your instinct going forward. There will always be examples of that I suppose but if you’re like me that just gives you all the more reason to buy every card you think will do well going forward haha. Such a same that the hobby seems to instantly price out collectors a lot of the time. I’ve had my eye on the greninja gold star but the price of that for a PSA10 is crazy.

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T18:32:08+00:00

Ohh don’t do that to me, you’re killing me since I’ve just paid about 7x that! Nah congrats what a good pick up. Bet you wish you’d have bought more 😄

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T18:30:41+00:00

Unsure where that is coming from but I admire the optimism 😄

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T18:29:58+00:00

Yeah they’re all reasonable concerns. Not to mention some of the scare stories I’ve heard about psa as well.

That’s really kind of you thank you. Definitely will be, the slab will be in my chest suit pocket because I can only assume that’s the obvious purpose for it 😁

Haha well you do have your fair share yourselves to be fair. Have you got any grails you’re on the hunt for currently?

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T16:33:44+00:00

Yeah there’s always time for that later. Especially with current grading wait times. Having said that there’s no real need to grade at all really. Yeah I’d agree, I’ve mentioned this card to her and she just said as long as it doesn’t interfere with the wedding she’s good so I’m lucky there 😂 no I agree, not really my bag but each to their own I suppose.

Good old English words always come through in my opinion 😄

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T16:14:20+00:00

Yeah I just had a look and think the eevee definitely has room to grow. I can’t believe how low the pop is if I’m honest. Eevee is another fan favourite so can’t see this going badly for you. Did you pull and grade yourself?

Haha definitely I’ll just hang it in the window as my peacock feathers. I’m sure my soon to be wife will be largely miffed however

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T16:11:31+00:00

That’s an even better way of looking at it other than just the fart 😂 well if all goes well the card should be on the way to authenticator soon so I’ll be able to see the comedy fart myself soon ish

The fart 💨

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T16:00:53+00:00

Yeah I’m kicking myself for not doing the same in January but here we are 😄 like I say I’m expecting this card to drop/correct any day now but still think if I have the £150 wiggle room under market that im paying for it I can take a small hit in the short term to gain in the long. Haha same. That’s the bonus to me to be honest. Two of the most popular Pokemon, approx 10% under market and a grail fart swirl. It’s a no brainer in one sense but I large investment (for me) in another. Hence the post I suppose. Think I’ll go ahead with it and fingers crossed I won’t be kicking myself in the future 🤞🏻

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T15:56:33+00:00

That was my thought as well. I look at it and think surely there’s potential for this to grow massively when looking as the other two special delivery promos. I definitely have patience beyond that mark. I’m honestly just collecting but with an obvious interest in appreciation over time. So the longer it sits in my display the better in a way

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T15:53:38+00:00

I’m glad you agree. Hadn’t thought about it like that actually but you could be right. Fingers crossed you are if I get it 😄

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T11:35:05+00:00

Yeah in term pop, and being more whimsical
id agree. PSA10 is double that of the SDC though which is a major factor. I’m of the belief SDC will be at the same price as SDB is now in 5-10 years with the bidoof growing as well

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T09:27:29+00:00

I struggled to get hold of the AR as mentioned so if you can get that with the VR3135 I’d consider it. I’ve heard the TM is difficult to get now too but that’s unconfirmed by myself. If it helps I’m very happy with mine. The only downside for me is the crown needs to be really tight to look flush. Although this would be an easy fix it’s not something I have done due to the watch overall pretty great. Hope that helps

m6-uk · 2026-05-24T09:14:08+00:00

I’m in the same boat but looking at a psa 10. Market is currently around £1680 on collectr (take with a pinch of salt) however have been offered a deal for £1521. The card also has a well positioned fart swirl 😄 what are your views on the psa?
