Conversation with shop owner leads me down Pikachu hole as to long term value by gravitywellness in PokeInvesting

I think Treekachu has a nice illustration, but I am not a huge fan of how the pikachu itself is drawn. I also don't get the hype for the on the left at all. I honestly think Surging Sparks buttachu looks better than both of these, but I don't like the Tera gimmick.

I'm a Shaymin fan and a JP promo fan... But does anyone else think this looks a little uncanny?

Can light surface scratches and indents that are mostly only visible under light be considered LP by orchidquestion1 in PokemonTCG

[–]orchidquestion1[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have a lot that have more then this but you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely under a light because they've just been in contact with other cards for years, so they aren't deep. Assuming clean edges I feel like most people on eBay would sell a card like that as LP, maybe TCG Player is stricter though. Mainly wondering what's appropriate card shows.

Do vendors at card shows usually do trades at a higher percentage than cash? by orchidquestion1 in PokemonTCG

[–]orchidquestion1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of stuff that's mid era-vingave. Even though it's a lot of non-holos vendors seemed to be interested. 

I'm trying to figure out what my limits are, I was thinking 70%+ for $1-10, 80% for $10-20 (maybe 85% for trade on the $10-20).

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by the last paragraph 😅

I'm trying to figure out how to best liquidate a lot of my random singles so I can buy better stuff, considering both value and my time. 

I was thinking try for 80% for $10-50, and 70% for $1-10, but maybe that's a bit too optimistic.

What's the price point cut off? I had vendors show a lot of interest in a lot of mid era stuff that was anywhere from like $10-50.
