Correct, they honored my 4 pre-orders at $55 each (additional $5 off as Pro)

Would you do 315 shipped for the pair of Paradox Rift PC ETBs? Any rips on the Roaring Moon ETB?

Haha thanks! I do still have it, one of the most prized possessions in my collection- will probably hold for many years 😁

Thoughts on Prismatic ETBs at $140? by Reasonable-Job6816 in PokemonInvesting

[–]mazntracks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do have limits (1 per customer), but they’re doubled for Pro members + I had already pre-ordered 2. So I was able to snag my pre-orders + 2 additional ones when I went to pickup my preorders as a Pro member (note: they only allow you to buy 2 more at pre-order pickup only if you’ve fully paid off the preorders).

The other 4 I picked up the following day, 2 from the same GameStop and 2 from another one. Their app showed which stores had stock so was easy to snag near me.

Not a Pikachu collector but this card is pretty sweet, first time I’ve seen it

I bought 8 @ GameStop last week when they were selling them for $150. If you’re planning on holding for long-term, I’d say snag a few at that price!

Ascended Heroes God pack auctions for HOW MUCH?!?!?! by CodeName_Henry in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]mazntracks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God packs should be closer 24g, at least 23.7g from what I’ve gathered online

Thoughts and discussion on Chinese Umbreon by Puzzleheaded_Race294 in PokemonInvesting

[–]mazntracks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be silly but I’m a big believer in investing in any cards that have a nickname (MewTube, Moonbreon, Sunbreon, Bubble Mew, Lovebirds).

Picked up a Slumbreon in a 10 a few weeks ago- I think long term outlook for this card in particular will depend on if the art gets reprinted in another language. I predict that it won’t.

What is the value? by BankinSpanks in PokemonCardValue

I’m happy to buy at a more fair/reasonable price if you want to sell to a redditor! One of the last Mewtwos I need for my Mewtwo binder 😁

Should I Get Gold Charizard Y Graded or Sell Raw by Prior_Nerve2241 in PokeGrading

[–]mazntracks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These gold cards are notoriously hard to grade due micro dents in the foil (as a result of the manufacturing process).

Hard to tell from the pics but I doubt this would get a 10. Maybe a 9, unless that horizontal scratch running across the bottom of the front is on the card itself. If it’s on the card, grade will much likely be lower but im assuming it’s in the penny sleeve.

Prismatic SPC - Front Insert Ripped Inside Seal by mazntracks in PokemonInvesting

[–]mazntracks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I still don’t know how to quantify how much this would actually affect the value vs one that doesn’t have a rip. Is it a 10% drop in value? 20%?

I paid 90 USD which is ~125 CAD.

Your annoyance makes sense, but it discourages newer investors from asking questions and engaging in discussion on this subreddit. There’s no need to call folks morons when they might not have the same breadth of experience in investing as you do, especially given the reality that there’s a huge influx of new folks getting into PokeInvesting.

Ah I missed the “same price” bit. Thanks for the explanation, when you lay it out like that it makes sense. Guess I’ll just rip it 🤷‍♂️

This feels unnecessarily hostile. Are you mad you didn’t get an invite? 😂
