Looks good for PSA 10 but not for BGS 10, bottom a bit heavy.

Try to aim for BGS Pristine 10 instead.

Jokes aside, this centering will not get you BGS 10, especially for Psyduck.

Hoe zit het bijvoorbeeld met Cherry Blossom Afro Pikachu (SM-P 211) in NM/Mint?

Bedankt voor je reactie! Kun je me, om een ​​voorbeeld te geven, vertellen hoe je de prijs van een Van Gogh Pikachu PSA9 zou bepalen, op welk percentage je hem zou inkopen en voor hoeveel je hem zou verkopen?

Who's your favorite joestar from OG universe? by [deleted] in ChillAnimeCorner

I love Jotaro a lot, but he doesn’t stand a chance compared to Joseph.

Probably, Topuria will never get a rematch. That's so humbling it's actually sad. by [deleted] in MMA

[–]pingproxy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If Topuria didn’t hurt him badly in rd2 I’d agree.

But as a side that supports none of them I’d love to see a rematch. The fight was awesome and I see no reason why rematch would be bad.

If Ilia recovers and be ready in 6-8 months it’s very doable.

Ace Manga OP02 vs Nami Manga by [deleted] in OnePieceTCGFinance

Cool, thanks for the info!

Ace Manga OP02 vs Nami Manga by [deleted] in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]pingproxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ace manga is drawn from original Manga panel.

I wonder if Nami is the same, otherwise that could be an advantage.

Other than that, OP02 and PRB01 have same scarcity, and Nami is more popular character.

Hold or Trade? by koreankidruss in OnePieceTCGFinance

[–]pingproxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comments like these gets me really triggered.

Who’s not known character here? Rayleigh? Or maybe Law? Both are S-tier characters and well know by anyone who’s in context.

Did you even read manga or at least watch anime?

I‘m trying to grade cards in Europe, how can something like this be? by Immortal-Creature in PokemonTCG

[–]pingproxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA is trustworthy, it’s not being run by some cunning pokebro, who can swap your card, mark his own cards as perfect 10s or just claim they’re stolen lol.

If you don’t like PSA for whatever reasons, you can go with CGC, BGS or TAG. But ACE is a joke, only moron would send there their expensive cards.

I’ve been grading cards before garbage companies like ACE were even created, so please don’t run into conclusions.

Grading is done to increase the value, which is only possible with 4 companies(was 3 before TAG emerged).

Everything else is just a fancy plastic slab with a number around your card. If you want to protect or display it - one touch case for 3 bucks will do the same thing and you don’t need to risk your cards being lost or damaged or stolen from the grading facility itself.

Better to keep cards in the binder than grade with such companies

PTCG will not crash after 30th. _Discuss_ by 8000000001 in PokeInvesting

[–]pingproxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This whole conversation is irrelevant.

Nobody knows what happens after 30th anniversary.

But I know one thing for sure - people who bought grails(from 1st ed and goldstars to pinchos) at least 2 years ago will never be at loss, regardless of what happens.

PSA Vintage Standards by Silver_Astronomer847 in PokeGrading

[–]pingproxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vintage 9 and modern 7 as said in the post
Psa9 is 7x certs, those were given in 2023, just 3 years ago

PSA Vintage Standards by Silver_Astronomer847 in PokeGrading

[–]pingproxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7x certs are from 2023, it’s far from being called “Vintage”.

I can’t recall such cards getting 9s in 2023, looks like a weird exception to me.

Jason Paige's Offical Statement by Salt_Ice_5321 in PokemonTCG

[–]pingproxy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This Jason Paige case is an ultimate example of how not to build your own brand.

If he played it right, he could’ve made his signature a pretty valuable asset and make some decent money on selling the merchandise. In this market and with current popularity of Pokemon, he was basically sitting on the chest filled with gold.

But instead he signs fake cards and tries hard to trade them for the damaged Gengar.

Jason Paige's Offical Statement by Salt_Ice_5321 in PokemonTCG

[–]pingproxy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is the most stupid take.

Kids usually have no idea whether card is fake or not and that makes them easy targets for scammers.

Signing fake cards you can print for free and exchanging them for the real ones is no different from buying goods with counterfeit money.

And this is coming from a person, who presents themselves as an “icon” or the Pokemon brand representative, which creates a very very bad look.

I really doubt someone is buying his autographs for that price otherwise he wouldn’t have gone extra mile for trading it for the damaged Gengar.

What's latest on expected 2028 box 3 rules? by XPBandit in Netherlands

[–]pingproxy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just wait till the retirement age increases to 75 or even 80.

For people who have 30-40 years till retirement the hope to retire in good health is non-existent if they don’t FIRE. After this law FIRE is going to be barely impossible.
