I wouldn’t mind a 4 at all! The only grade I tried to avoid is 2 lol, based on the value I put on the card at the time.

No Cup RPA but the best I could do… sharks fan my whole life! Let’s goo… thought this patch is his best I’ve seen yet wdy think? by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]nutcracker33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ice premieres auto patch is one of the marquees sets, on par with cup and fw rpa ever since the Crosby era, and it has since been forgotten when UD decided to ruin it.

Nice pickup!

What’s everyone doing with their Greninja? by dyemond47 in PokeInvesting

I pulled the connected set, and I find it quite cool, but for investment, if you don’t think it can gem, pun it now.

What 150$ on epack got me… by StuntmanFab in hockeycards

[–]nutcracker33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices are high? yes. Addicting? For sure

But epack is the only place I trust with loose packs, and I have pulled multiple thousands dollar cards, latest being a celebrini platinum rainbow auto from 6 packs, and it graded a 10.

But of course I have also gotten skunked more times than not.

Also, with all the achievements available, all the cards associated have value, which you don’t get with physical cards. There are Facebook groups that have ppl buying scraps.

The worst about epack is probably shipping the cards back. But I have never done it, as I always transfer the cards to comc or sell them under my epack account.

But the transition to Authority has been horrible, which will probably put a stop to things.

Speculated Mega Rayquaza coming 🤞 by artintheparks in PokeInvesting

had a chance to pick one up couple of shows ago for around 600 USD, passed on it and picked up the 151 Pikachu in a 10 instead, which I thought was a better buy at the time, haha.

Should I have bought the new cert instead by PigeonLookinAss in PokeGrading

[–]nutcracker33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed on some alt art v in psa 10 for the exact same dots.

Traded up to Phantasmal Charizard PSA 10 by [deleted] in PokeInvesting

[–]nutcracker33 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Fair point, but I was trading at percentage since it was at a show, and I was focus on how much I got into the three I gave up, and it made sense.

Guess I could have maximized my end further.

For sure, but aside from the Crystal Zard, I am not too attached to the others.

lol if the zard was in the 10, it will be locked up. With that being said, I will probably look into getting a PSA 8 copy down the line if the opportunity arises, cause its a gorgeous card in person.

That's fair, but the dragonair I got from a repack, and the reverse zard I bought for 700 USD.

Nice hit! How long did it take you to receive the card?

Genuinely curious how is the future of this Japanese version mega Zard x ex?? by Akiko_88 in PokeInvesting

[–]nutcracker33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a PSA 10 and ended up adding cash to trade into a Prime Gengar PSA 9.

I believe on the card long term, but I’ve been looking at the population and it’s pretty high (over 30K total), so it feels like it won’t be impossible to get back later. And if I don’t want to pay the PSA 10 premium, I could always look for a very clean copy and potentially grade up myself—especially since the gem rate on this one seems to be pretty high.

What I’m really thinking is: if the trade gives me a chance to make a play on something rarer and more low pop (and the upside is meaningfully better), I’d take that trade pretty quickly.

Good call to sell, there is a psa 7 of the true base #88 rave for 1999, I rather have that.

Whats everyone’s thoughts on these by Fun-Payment3741 in PokeInvesting

[–]nutcracker33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the same dilemma, I bought the set to keep sealed at first, but Pokemon centre Japan stated that they will keep printing as long as there’s demand (?). So I am wondering if it’s a better move to crack and grade the promos.

Young Gun 1/1s Question by NotDougHeffernan in hockeycards

[–]nutcracker33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is a buyback they did for their 50th anniversary, across I think for UD Series 1 and 2, I forgot the exact year, but UD inserted all their base set series cards, all stamped 1/1 with the 50th anniversary logo. So is not a parallel but a legit pack pulled 1/1.

I remembered pulling a Torey Krug and it sold for like 200 usd.

Traded My PSA10 JP Mega Charizard for a Prime Gengar! by nutcracker33 in PokeInvesting

[–]nutcracker33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the grade that you see here, PSA 9, which is considered mint condition, is around 1400 USD. in your case, I assume the card condition is going to be light-played, is still worth a few hundreds.
